Animate
Yourself!, financed by the European Commission through the Erasmus Plus
Programme, Key Action 1, managed in Romania by ANPCDEFP.
The main activity of the project was the international
seminar called Animate Yourself! held between the 2nd and the 11th of September 2015. The
seminar developed through the project Animate Yourself brought together 45
youth workers for an activity that lasted for 10 days on the theme of training young people in their community as
animators for activities with children / young people in holiday centers and
beyond. The skills acquired by the young people that will follow the
seminar, organized by our participants, can be used during trips with children
in school holidays, camps and excursions, in holiday centers and companies,
parties and other forms of education of youth and children through active
non-formal methods.
The
actual activities took place in Durau and Piatra Neamt, Neamt and their main
aim is to develop the necessary
skills of 45 youth workers over 10 days, to prepare youth workers towards becoming social animators.
Specific objectives of the project:
1. Sharing
experiences and best practices in the field of socio-educational animation by
the 45 youth workers over 18 years from the 15 participating countries over 10
days.
2.
Familiarizing 45 youth workers over 18 years of the 15 participating countries
with methods and tools for teaching socio-educational animation to young
beneficiaries within 10 days.
During the seminar, there were organised sessions of the
theme of the development of a socio-educational animation project, the
implementation of socio-educational animation activities, education through the
adventure, children and young people
development and needs, the situation and the status of animation in every
participant country, methods and techniques of socio-educational animation etc.
The participants implemented
socio-educational animation activities with children and young people from C.
S. Elena Doamna Piatra Neamt and in the centre of Piatra Neamt city.
The participants also promoted
socio-educational animation within their visit to Neamt Citadel, organising a
few games there.
The street animation was another kind of animation
practiced in the seminar; the participants organised a flash mob in Piatra
Neamt. In Durau, the participants
promoted street animation by organising a living exhibition.
