Working Principles

What is expected from a CYF program?

• Empowered volunteers through defined roles & responsibilities

• Events and classes with agendas and with assigned leaders running different sections

• Interactive events and physically active activities that encourages the participation of all students and attendees

• Interaction with students and attendees is organized in smaller groups that promotes collaboration and discussion

• Feedback is encouraged from all students and attendees by the end of the event

• Social spaces are created and fostered where people can meet, discussions are essential in any class or event

What we want to avoid having:

• Transactional classes or events without interactions, discussions, fun or community aspects

• Classes and events where attendees are sitting all day

• Masterclass/boardroom/lecture atmosphere and dynamics

• One person controlling all the agenda and leading all day

• Volunteers being told what to do on the day
