Butterfly Effect: tools for an effective D.E.O.R is a Training Course for youth workers. It will take
place in Pizzo, from 14th to 21st of May 2015.
Butterfly Effect wants to raise awareness among youth workers of the need to ensure the
maximum impact of EU funded projects. The European Commission has decided some years ago to
make the visibility and dissemination and exploitation of project results, a priority of all its
programs of education and culture. Dissemination is also useful for the EC to assess the impact of
the projects funded at European level, to ensure that there is a benefit to European citizens and to
support European policies and decisions in various fields. One of our objectives is to help the EC to
meet these priorities, making others youth workers aware of the importance of the D.E.O.R
strategy.
The objectives of the project are:
- To develop skills and abilities of the participants to take advantage of the tools that the EC gives
us
- Use the non-formal method as an effective tool for learning, and disseminating its use
- To acknowledge participants about D.E.O.R strategy
Butterfly Effect: Tools for an Effective D.E.O.R
- To support European objectives aimed at making the visibility and
dissemination and exploitation of project results, a priority
The ultimate goal of the project is to disseminate the project itself, "Butterfly Effect", in all the
partners' countries of the project, at different levels and with different means.
The Working Method of the activities is the non-formal learning approach.
The activities that aim to introduce the participants into the project and get them socialize with
each other and find set of rules for intercultural coexistence are:
Ice Breaking Activities & Presentation Agenda Explanation, Hopes &Fears, Team Building
Games: aimed at creating the international atmosphere and let the participants know each other;
Erasmus Plus: to learn more about the opportunities offered by the Erasmus + Programme,
more in depth we will talk about Key Action 1, giving ideas, info and explanations on Youthpass
Certificate and Europass Language Passport
Warm Up: used to keep up the team spirit and positive approach to the days. Every day one
country has to introduce the day by WARM UP (energizers) and it takes 30 min. (more or less 3
games).
Evaluation: (Pre/After) Questionnaire on individual skills and about the group experiences.
International Evening: during which each country will show to the group traditions, habits, and
prepare some typical local dishes.
Sharing Moments is a moment during which participants will feel free to express their opinion
and feelings about the exchange. We need to have this moment in order to adjust our staff work if
required and it aims to satisfy participants’ needs and expectations.
Leaders Meeting is a meeting, during which leaders and staff meet each other and speak about
the ongoing exchange, i.e. the results of Sharing Moments.
