LATEST NEWS from the Project!
From the 16th to the 18th of May 2023 the training activity of the YES-SI project took place in Larissa, Greece. The host organisation, Innovation Hive, provided great hospitality to all partners. Trainers from Greece, Germany, Italy, Spain and Ireland had the opportunity to test the YES-SI modules and prepared themselves to pass on the “changemaking” skills to young people.
Objectives
The short-term training aimed to:
equip participants with the knowledge and competences needed
to undertake the pilot phase, adopt and then implement the project’s training approaches and materials
test all YES SI training modules themselves and have an overview on how to take the training of trainers at larger scale beyond the project lifetime
Co-creation of the Modules
For the development of the training workshops, partners co-worked in order to create the YES-SI training modules. These modules aim to provide empowerment for young people to become active citizens using their potential and visions for a better future for creative problem solving of social challenges. Each module is consisted with good practices and resources, to facilitate the organisation of social innovation activities in the community.

fake news, shared tips and guidelines on how to utilize the YES-SI workshops and offered support for participants with fewer opportunities and special needs.
