Project Summary

NGO Calamus organised a two-activity project: „Youth empowerment through peer and self development methods“ in November 2015 and April 2016, in Belgrade, Serbia. It contains two training courses, in which the participants gained knowledge about:
– Coaching and using its techniques when working with people with fewer opportunities in their local community; learning how to build personal capacities when encountering problems and obstacles in the various challenges in their everyday life, and how to support other young people by coaching them when they are facing changes and setting personal goals.
– Mediation and skills such as listening, critical thinking and problem solving, which can be used in solving their own conflicts as well as the problems of their peers. Participants are empowered to assume greater responsibility when resolving conflict and using effective communication.
This training was aimed for 30 youth workers, peer educators and project managers who were interested in using coaching and mediation techniques among peers in their local community.
