COACHING AS A TOOL FOR IMPROVING LEADERSHIP SKILLS” project’s toolkit

In our project, we focused on coaching techniques to improve youth leadership. By coaching, we referred to personal development strategies offered to individuals to enhance their performance. It aimed to empower people to learn rather than instructing them. This approach distinguished coaching from leading for participants.

Directing and leading people are understood by their definitions, but integrating coaching methods gives leadership a new meaning through a supportive approach. Educational leadership specialists needed to develop skills in listening, giving feedback, and agreeing on task implementation (Raukaitė Rita, 2021). Studies indicated a strong need to develop coaching skills in youth workers to empower youth leadership at both rural and urban levels. Starting with university students, then youth workers, specialists, leaders, and volunteers, a leadership training course based on coaching strategies would enhance essential skills in society.

The project aimed to develop youth workers' competence in applying coaching techniques for youth leadership.

The training course objectives were:

To develop transformational leadership skills through coaching
To deepen youth workers’ knowledge of coaching techniques for youth leadership
To guide youth workers in using digital tools for efficient group and individual coaching
To improve cultural communication and leadership skills through art coaching

Together with participants we have developed and adopted coaching strategies by using already well know coaching methods taken from "101 Coaching Strategies and Techniques (Essential Coaching Skills and Knowledge) 1st Edition by Gladeana McMahon (Editor), Anne Archer (Series Editor) also coaching game "Points of You"

Inclusive Future Leaders: a journey of growth, courage, and leadership

Inclusive Future Leaders was an international youth exchange project funded by European Union that brought together young people from Turkey, Romania, Spain, Poland, and Lithuania to learn about leadership, collaboration, and inclusion. This project was more than just exchange – it was a week of courage, growth, and new discoveries!

It's a very precious experience for me and I want to live it more. About my participation in the project i am really glad of myself and everybody.

Rural youth work development participants learning jorney

First of all, I would like to point out that this was my first training course. My trip began the 28th of November and I arrived the 29th in "The Villa". If I have to summarize my learnings during these days I would remark that now I know more about what is youth work about, concretely rural youth work, the problems that exists in rural area, how to deal with them, etc. Also, about the projects this association is implementing here and the outputs for the youth, how this is helping them to develop themselves better, and a bit of how to design a project, it was interesting to think of all the steps that are needed to run one. The most remarkable thing has been people. Smart, kind, generous and funny people, they made this experience something to remember. Also, having the opportunity to know "real" people from Lithuania doing traditional things, as we did in the festival "Romansu vakaras", it was a really nice experience listening to those songs, shar...

Empowering Minds: A Learning Journey Through the 'Compass' Manual on Human Rights Education

On the first day, I was excited. However, when we were already at the villa, I felt scared because I thought I would be shy and uncomfortable. But as we started, I discovered many things about volunteering. The socializing part was amazing—I loved how people took care of each other. Everyone was kind and respectful. On other days, I learned that I gained much more than just knowledge from the activities; I also learned how to feel empathy. Learning in another language was challenging but also very useful. I’m eager to use my knowledge about human rights in my everyday life as soon as possible. I also plan to talk about it in my school and share my experiences with my friends. 😊😊😊
