Insightrainer Creatrainer is an initiative of a group of trainers who are experienced in the field of competence development of trainers in the youth field. We had the chance and pleasure to work with different teams on various training of trainers and some of us also developed tools, portfolios and manuals to support the development of trainers' competences.

 

The competence framework of trainers is a hot and developing topic in our field since beginning of 2000s. Being involved in the process of competence development schemas and processes with various institutions (European Commission’s Erasmus + programme, Council of Europe’s Youth Department and the Partnership between European Commission and Council of Europe); at one point, we asked to ourselves the critical question, from a personal point of view. Who were those trainers that changed our lives forever? What made them special that they could motivate (and develop) us to work for democracy, inclusion and empowerment?

​

Do you also have such people in your life? Or in your organisation?

​

Competences of trainers...

Those   trainers    who changed your life...

A learning process which allows trainers to gain insight on 'why they do what they do', explore new ways of expressing their knowledge, and increase their inner readiness to demonstrate their competences.

Were they charismatic? Creative? Peaceful? Competent? Confusing? Fun? Intelligent? Role model? What were the qualities of the trainer or trainers who have made a remarkable change in the course of your life?

​

After having this deep reflection; one that was very valuable and very personal, we came to the conclusion that those trainers who left a positive mark in our lives had two things in common:

​

- they were insightful about the meaning of life in general and theirs specifically, 

- they had their own profound ways of putting questions.

 

Starting our journey reflecting on those role - models that we had, who changed the world (at least ours) we decided to design Insightrainer Creatrainer.
