Introduction

The Training Course “Beginner’s guide to EVS coaching: how to support volunteers in their GROWTH” was organized to help EVS mentors and coordinators in daily collaboration with volunteers. The main aim was to understand how to use coaching approach and its tools in order to support volunteers. During the training, participants learned what coaching is, how to build a relationship with a volunteer and how to identify his/her needs and expectations. We also discussed basic tools and models such as: «Wheel of values», «GROW» or «SMARTER» as well as how to listen and ask powerful questions. Now we would like to share the results of our work and, hopefully, help other organizations to increase the quality of their EVS projects. This report includes handouts prepared by a trainer and experts, but it also contains materials created by participants during the workshops. You will also find the exercises used during the training thanks to which you can share coaching knowledge with others. We would like to thank all partners and participants who were involved in this training.

Aims and objectives of the training course:

Participants:

We invited 26 youth workers (EVS mentors and coordinators) from six countries (Romania, Spain, Portugal, France, Greece and Poland). The group was very diverse which made this meeting very interesting and helped in the group building process. Different educational background, work places, age, years of experience in EVS projects, roles and personalities created very creative and productive training environment. The integration of participants exceeded our expectations. Fantastic atmosphere not only allowed to increase competences but also made this training really unique and unforgettable.
