Eduk8 Community Around (and outside) the Network!
When in ESN, it is not unusual to have your friends, your Team, or even your board spread all around the world. The same is very much true to our Community, and we are very proud of you all out there - spreading the message of Non-Formal Education and contributing to one of the main goals of the Eduk8 project: the creation of a pool of trainers, invested with the skills and knowledge of empowering our network.
This spring, our community has been delivering workshops for ESNers and externals all around Europe. Check out what they have been up to! We hope that an overview of different kinds of events and training opportunities experienced by your peers can serve as an inspiration and give you new ideas on what you yourself can do, and how to develop as a trainer.
If you want to share your training experience, you'll be receiving more information in August. We're looking forward to hearing from you!

What? National Training Event - Samos 2017, ESN Greece
When? 1-2 April 2017
Where? Samos, Greece
Workshop(s): Workshop topics varied and were delivered by 14 facilitators. The mostly revolved around general transversal skills and ESN related topics, and they were all hour and a half long workshops.
“My role was that of a Training Coordinator and my main responsibility was to design the agenda, support the workshop holders, design the feedback form and write the final report. With the workshop holders we held skype calls to discuss what topics we would have and I also gave them a bit of guidance on how to design their workshops, write TSOs, and do an impactful debriefing. I myself only facilitated the opening and the closing where we talked about the expectations and motivation.
It was an amazing experience to design this training event, and even though I didn't have much chance to facilitate sessions myself, I learned a lot from working behind the scene. It was also great to meet more members of the network from a different country. All in all, absolutely something I would encourage everyone to try at some point :)”
