Globala Kronoberg is looking for participants for the training on career path/ employability. Each participant will reflect on the most direct path to the satisfaction of doing what they like and being useful to society at the same time.
Profile of the participants
- Youth leaders/ youth workers/ active volunteers of your organisation,
- Proficient English
- Age 18+
Objectives
- to facilitate youth empowerment by exploring, together with the youth leaders themselves, the development of their sense of initiative, identifying their strengths, making the most of their strengths and compensate for their weaknesses by teaming up with others,
- to meet the needs of young people who face issues with the choice of their professional path – and by doing this we want to increase youth employability and entrepreneurial initiatives.
Activities
During the training each participant will create:
- Model of their personal online Wix page that is to be completed further after the training,
- Personal ‘product’ hypothesis based on their SUPERPOWER that is a combination of individual strengths, values, meanings and existing experience. Participants will set their roadmap to continue working on this product after the training with concrete milestones and first steps already done. The personal product will be connected to their Sending organisation’s activities. The methodology contains innovative elements, such as coaching techniques and art tools in youth work.

In the area you can still see the traces of where the soldiers housing quarters. During a short period in the 1950’s, the area was used to land small planes on. It’s facility has two lecture halls for 30 people each. The halls have equipment such as flipcharts, whiteboards, hearing loops etc. Large screen projector available for rent.

We cannot arrange single rooms, but we will have as few participants as possible in each room.

All participants need to have valid health and travel insurance in case of sickness that will hinder them from traveling home after the project ends.
Why to apply?
Many of us are in search of a project or profession for self-realization. And we are used to thinking that we need to start by looking for what we love to do. This is not bad overall, but there is a problem. Our interests are changing. Sometimes very fast. And we rarely think about why exactly we like to do certain things. In order to find the very relatively unchanging thing that we could rely on, doing almost anything. Moreover, in the search for self-realization, we either focus on our pleasure while the benefits for society from our occupation are far-fetched, or the opposite happens: we see a society’s request for a certain activity and we get involved without thinking how much it corresponds to our mission, to the task we are best suited for. But what if there is something in us that we can grasp at, which combines the pleasure of self-realization and our greatest value to the world?
