WHY – WE HEAR YOU

2017-2019

What is the WHY project

WHY (We Hear You) is an Erasmus + project which aims to provide a basis for an improved culture amongst professionals as well as structures that will support democratic dialogue and youth involvement in order to promote civic participation, create participatory mechanisms, thus preventing marginalisation and its negative effects on individuals and society.

One of the objectives of the WHY project is to develop training tools for youth professionals

How can I use these courses?

Individuals

If you are an individual (teacher, youth professional) you can follow these courses on your own pace. First you need to register to our platform and then enroll to one or both courses.

Teams

The ideal scenario is to deliver these courses in your team of professionals. For each course a trainer’s guide is available to downlad in the introduction.

Organisations

If you represent an organisation and wish to host the courses on your own e-learning platform you can download the courses in LMS format (link soon will be available). You are free to modify and extend the courses according to your organisation’s needs. We kindly ask you to send us your feedback and evaluation of the courses.
