Working Group Co-ordinator – CALL

Recognizing the recent successes of increasing the involvement of more YEU members in the daily work and co-ordination of the network, for example by appointing a specific Newsletter editor, YEU GB have also decided to develop the position of Working Group Co-ordinator.  In order to pilot the idea GB have decided to start the initiative with the Education Working Group.  The co-ordinator will receive a contribution to cover all communication costs related to the work but the position will be voluntary.  The pilot phase will last for 3 months – March to May 2010.  The volunteer will receive a Youth Pass certificate from YEU for the work done.

The tasks will be as follows:

Co-ordinate the work of the Education Working group ensuring timely input on the following:

• Development of the YEU Pool of Trainers and Facilitators including creation of database to include YEU facilitators, trainers and Core Team members and surveying and monitoring of training needs in order to develop SKAs of the Pool.  Also to include identification of new members with potential to be Facilitators, Trainers or Core Team members on YEU events.
• Propose for YEU Developing You training programme for 2011-2013 – What should be included?
• Create YEU Guide to the Youth Pass making it a more accessible and useful tool to be used to evaluate and record learning achievements of participants in YEU events.
• Renew and refresh the YEU guide to preparation, planning and follow up of international youth exchanges.

• Formulation of YEU response to changes and development in European level education policies where requested as part of our membership of YFJ or related to issues of specific interest to YEU such as Mobility, NFE, Intercultural Learning, Global Education etc.
