Rock Solid Soft Skills is an Erasmus+ Training Course designed for youth workers, community educators, youth leaders, NGO representatives  who want to develop their leadership, communication and teamwork skills. Participants will develop practical ways to help youth groups plan their work, agree on shared goals and handle conflict constructively. 

What helps a team work together when people communicate differently or disagree on what to do next? Through non-formal education, role-play, case studies and group exercises, participants will practise listening actively, leading a team and handling difficult conversations. Following Kolb’s experiential learning cycle, they will try an activity, reflect on what happened and use what they learned to test a different approach. A city game and an intercultural evening will give participants more opportunities to work together and learn from one another.

Throughout the project, participants will explore how groups develop, the roles people take on in teams and what makes a good leader. Sessions on the von Thun communication model, the SPORT model and the Wheel of Conflict will give them tools for examining communication and working through disagreements. 

Age of participants: 18+

Accommodation and meals are provided, and travel costs are reimbursed according to Erasmus+ rules as described in the infopack.
