COURSE OBJECTIVES

  • To explore the nature of attitudes and behaviours and notion of magic connected to them;
  • To reflect on personal attitudes and understanding their significance in youth work;
  • To recognise personal behaviours and attitudes emerging in particular youth work situations;
  • To explore personal stand in relation to contemporary societal issues that participants are willing to take as a youth worker;
  • To explore how attitudes and behaviours form and change;
  • To learn about different ways of practicing change in attitudes and behaviours.

STRUCTURE OF THE COURSE

The course is structured into 3 thematic modules:

  • Module 1: About attitudes and behaviours
  • Module 2: The process of change
  • Module 3: Ways to develop attitudes and behaviours

The three modules are an extension of the existing MOOC ‘YOCOMO – an ETS online course on competence-based development for youth workers.’ They are interlinked and are building on the existing content. At the same time, they could be taken as a separate course and they do not require that you have already completed the previous modules.

Each module is structured into 7-9 sessions offering different interactive learning content online, which is uploaded to the Canvas MOOC hosting platform. Participants learn through animated videos, pre-recorded video interviews, educational texts and interactive tasks.

Each module will require 1-4 hours to complete the activities.

The first week starts with Module 1 and every week there will be a new module opened.
