TOOL FAIR XIV – #know-how

Seminar

4-8 November 2019 | Rovaniemi, Finland

Tool Fair is an international event that brings together youth work experts all over Europe and beyond to discuss and learn from each other about innovative methods and best practices from the field of youth work.

The 14th edition of the International Tool Fair, #Know-how, will take place in November 4-8, 2019 in Rovaniemi, Finland

Tool Fair XIV - #Know-how will provide a stimulating environment for varied approaches and practices for those working in a field of youth work. The aim is to promote recognition and quality in youth work and support capacity building and know-how of youth work and youth workers.

This will be supported and developed through innovative approaches and practices that allow the participants to explore the theme in different levels. The Tool Fair is composed of:

Tools to Explore – thematic sessions offer novel approaches of working with youth workers and/or young people.  One Tool to Explore consists of 3 x 1,5 hours program slots and allowing the participants to gain deeper understandings of the tool.
 

TF Talks - are inspirational talks challenging the participants thinking and offering them philosophical considerations. 
 

Tools’ Workshops – sessions offer tools that are good examples and best practices in working with young people. Workshops are run by the Tool Fair participants.
 

Tools Market – a youth work bazaar where participants can present their tools and/or stroll around to get the flavor what all is going on.

The Tools Workshops run by the participants are the highly appreciated opportunities for perr-learning and sharing tools for learning with colleagues in an international context.  (http://educationaltoolsportal.eu/en/tools-learning-non-formal-education)
