Yesterday was day five, so we're more than half way through the seminar and everyone has been pretty tired so far so this was only a half day.
After briefing the groups split into youth workers and young people. The young people split off and had a session with Chris Shipton, a graphic designer and the youth workers had a presentation telling more about the logistics of Eramus+
Graphics are important for helping people to understand concepts more clearly. If some of the participants are visual learners or can't understand English too well then visual images can be extremely helpful, this is why Chris Shipton's young people session was very important. His easy to follow template will be used as a visual aid for when the young people and youth workers convene today to talk about future ideas. They could also be used on future conferences and sessions.
After lunch the participants were given some much needed free time to go into London or just relax and recharge. This is an important part of the programme to make sure that the participants don't get too tired and get to see more of the environment around them.
In 2013 the Youth In Action programme comes to the end of of its cycle, it will be replaced by Erasmus+ in 2014. In a bid to celebrate Youth In Action the Janus Project aims to bring people from 36 European countries together in London to evaluate the impact of Youth In Action and create a network for new Erasmus+. This is going to be big, powerful and changes the lives of many young people over the next few years. Follow the projects journey leading yp to the event...
