Title: Partnership Training for Trainers: 1st Steering Group meeting. 
Description: BACKGROUND INFORMATION

In June 2007, the Youth-Partnership between the Council of Europe and the European Commission organised a Stakeholders Meeting on Training for Trainers, where the various stakeholders involved in this field had an opportunity to share their visions and ideas regarding the existing needs of Training for Trainers in Europe.

The stakeholders agreed on the need to develop a co-ordinated strategy of Training of/for Trainers at European level in the future. The stakeholders meeting also suggested that, in light of its previous experience and of its active role in the field, the Partnership would be the natural stakeholder to develop a new generic Training Course for Trainers (advanced level) together with some other stakeholders and to implement it.

The Steering Group meeting organised by the Youth-Partnership will therefore try and serve this purpose, by proposing a road map for the development of a generic Training Course for Trainers in 2008/2009.

TARGET GROUP

Based on the suggestions made by the Partnership Management Board, the Steering Group meeting will be composed of:
• Two representatives of the Council of Europe’s Directorate of Youth and Sport, of which one
should be an educational advisor;
• One representative of the European Commission and one representative of the SALTO Training
and Co-operation Resource Centre;
• One representative of the European Youth Forum;
• The Youth-Partnership secretariat.

The Steering Group might invite external educational experts, trainers, researchers or consultants to attend its meetings if necessary.

AIM and OBJECTIVES of the MEETING

The AIM of the first Steering Group meeting will be to:
· to set the purpose and strategic objectives of the Training for Trainers, and propose a framework for developing and implementing the Training Course;
· to report such recommendations to the Partnership Management Board by spring 2008 (before the spring Partnership Managemebt Board meeting).

In order to achieve this aim, the OBJECTIVES of the first Steering Group meeting will be to:
· reflect on the various options (residential seminar, long-term training course, etc.) and their implications in terms of finances, human resources, educational impact, as well as their relevance, feasibility and sustainability;
· set the strategic objectives of the Training Course;
· define the format, scope and structure of the Training Course;
· define the profile of participants and the criteria for selection of trainers.

The first meeting of the Steering Group should thus give a clear path for the development and implementation of the Training Course for Trainers, by stating what are the needs to be achieved, by whom and when.
