The Circle Education is running a ‘Working with Youth’ course on April 27th and 28th.
This training will ensure that you are able to connect with youth in a meaningful and supportive way. You’ll build trust and relationships, and develop strong practices to ensure that group activities are designed and facilitated in a way to encourage personal growth and development.
This offering is ideal for individuals who want to develop personal awareness and tools for engaging more effectively with youth in a variety of contexts, whether it be formal educational settings, after-school programming or even more personal and familial relationships. It is also an effective experiential model and a pro-social approach that can be used with whole staff teams to nurture collegial relationships built through learning together towards a common goal of supporting student social-emotional development.
In a fun-filled, hands-on set of sessions, you’ll get a chance to lead a group, design and play games that work, as well as develop strong communication and facilitation techniques that you can use not just with you but in any group situation. You’ll leave the session with greater confidence and a bigger toolkit to ensure that you can connect with youth of all ages and experiences.
The ‘Stronger Connections with Youth’ training is a course that will be facilitated at The Circle Education on Salt Spring Island.
Our facilitator Kate Nash has over fifteen years of experience working with youth in class and after-school programs. She is passionate about bringing people together and building confidence and empathy in youth.
