Local workshops in Slovenia
Between 6th of December 2016 and 17th of January 2017 local workshops were conducted in Celje, Slovenia, as part of the project Active for future. Celje youth center has conducted 5 local workshops, which were led by youth workers, with the intention to develop skills, knowledge and abilities of the youth, so that they can increase their chances for employment through so called youth initiative.
Youth workers that implemented local workshops attended training on this topic in May 2016 in Nairobi, Kenya, where they gained new skills and knowledge for support in developing youth initiatives. As part of local workshops this knowledge was upgraded and adjusted according to the local needs of the youth.
The first local workshop was conducted on 6th of December and was an introduction workshop where participants learned what a youth initiative is, how it helps with unemployment and heard a story of a local businessman who turned his hobby into a product. Throughout the workshops participants worked in groups and learned about project management, finance, administration, public speaking … In the last workshop the participants presented their developed youth initiative and their business plan.
Presented youth initiatives will be performed in the following months by the help of local organization Celje youth center.
