Running Great Workshops & Youth Participation 101 - 16 March

This session is a combination of two of YACVic’s most valuable trainings for youth workers, Running Great Workshops and Youth Participation 101. The content will be adjusted to best meet the needs of participants on the day.

People new to working with young people are strongly encouraged to attend, but it will also be really helpful for anyone in the sector looking to connect and revitalise their work. 

Please note, tickets for this training will close Monday 13th March. 

What to expect

Running Great Workshops

Do you want to run workshops where young participants are actively involved and highly engaged?

You’ll walk away from this fun and interactive training equipped with the confidence and skills you need to run great workshops with and for young people. Through the careful and practiced guidance of our experienced Young Peer Facilitators you will learn how you can enhance your meetings, workshops and events.

Youth Participation 101

Would you like to be more confident in creating safe, accessible and empowering spaces?

You’ll walk away from this training feeling motivated by strategies and tips for engaging young people in the work that you do, strengthen their voices in the work of your organisation, and ultimately in the communities in which they live.

We’ll talk about the successes you’re having and unpick the barriers you may be encountering to increase your confidence in working alongside young people in your role.
