Reviews from learners
“I have learned about new useful resources, whether they are dynamics to use with young people or strategies to collect and store young people’s needs! I am satisfied with the course and looking forward to continuing my training.”
“I liked this course. There was a lot of interesting information: figure of the youth information worker, skills this type of professional must have, how other colleagues work, learning dynamics, the role of the different institutions, and the importance of collecting young people’s needs and inquiries.”
