Training Course
13-21 October 2023 | Outside of Oslo, Norway
We seek to move beyond classical leadership training by prioritising depth and impact to help participants grow their leadership competencies and understand their personal values – empowering them in their everyday leadership and volunteer work.
In today’s world, leadership extends beyond the ability to guide others, it demands an understanding of personal values and self-leadership. This belief recognises that each individual possesses the potential to influence change, reaching beyond their immediate circle into broader communities and spheres of influence.
In our mission to support this, we at The VALE are committed to equipping youth workers with the necessary tools and networks to harness their potential. This process hinges on developing the personal leadership, built on an individual’s understanding, abilities, and attitudes towards leading themselves and others. We aim to bring our participants with us on a profound learning journey to better understand and develop their leadership skills, to help them grow into the value-driven leaders of tomorrow.
The VALE 2023 is financially supported by the Norwegian Children and Youth Council. They are an umbrella organisation for 102 different Norwegian children and youth organisations. Their member organisations are democratic and voluntary, and they represent a vast diversity of activities and interests.
The target group of The VALE is young volunteer leaders representing a youth organisation. The course strives to have a diverse applicant pool and to have a balanced group of participants in terms of gender, background, and experience.
We have set the following selection criteria:
- Aged 20-35 (due to the funding being youth-specific)
- Has previous leadership experience(s), preferably in leading large and diverse groups of people
- Demonstrates a commitment to self-reflection and readiness to take on a challenging journey for self-improvement
- Shows a strong interest in taking on future leadership roles and being a leader of tomorrow
- Ready and able to attend the full duration of the training from 13 to 21 OCTOBER 2023, including completing the preparatory tasks and the follow-up meeting on 10 DECEMBER 2023.
- Has strong motivation, with their newly gained knowledge and skills, to act as multipliers in their local organisation and contexts
