“Empower and involve!” is a training course (TC) which focuses on training and empowering participants to work together in an international team to organise, lead and evaluate international youth activities through the Youth in Action programme. The TC takes place in Germany (Aktionszentrum), and will bring together 26 participants from 13 EU member states. There will be a special focus on how the participants can keep on being involved after the TC. The participants are mostly experienced volunteers youth leaders who are motivated to take responsibility in youth organisations or the organising of international youth initiatives. By the end of the TC the participants will plan activities which they will implement both locally and on a European level. In short, the TC empowers its participants by training their competences to organise own YiA-projects, and prepares them to get involved in their local organisation to realise them.
