Introduction
JUGEND für Europa is organising a training course called TOSCA that will take place from June 12th to 16th, 2023 in Bonn, Germany. This training activity is designed to enhance the capacities of organisations that are actively involved in volunteering actions of the European Solidarity Corps, with the aim of ensuring quality and impact in their respective projects.
Objectives of the TOSCA Training Course
The course will cover various topics, including:
- Foster understanding, awareness and commitment to core quality criteria of the European Solidarity Corps;
- Build up competencies on how to design and implement European Solidarity Corps projects with a view to quality;
- Ensure clarity and support on how the programme works formally: opportunities, guidelines, structures, priorities, rules, and procedures;
- Give space to participants to express burning issues and needs and offer support where possible;
- Foster a supportive community of organisations involved in the European Solidarity Corps;
Participants will also have to complete an obligatory online preparatory phase before attending the course, where they will form a community of learners and carry out initial assessments of their organisation, local community, and needs. The organisers have yet to determine the date for the online preparatory phase and meeting.
