Details
The training is based on simulation games, inputs and group work. EYE Opener follows roughly the same concept and structure as the current BTM training course, but has a different purpose and set up in terms of target group. Instead of 1 representative per organization, EYE Opener focuses on youth-adult pairing: 1 adult leader e.g. youth worker, youthleader, social worker, policy maker + 1 or 2 young people per group/organization (depending on national regulations). However following the main structure of the current BTM, additional sessions will be implemented: within the group of young people separately from the adults and sessions in which the teams per organization reflect on their ‘working together’
