Bringing youth work to health sector: Alumni Club member Laura-Maria Lehiste takes part in YHO Training for Trainers (T4T)

After the training, Laura shared her experience: “The training for trainers session organised by Youth Health Organization (YHO) was extremely useful for my professional development, since it was a full week dive into the methodological approach of being a trainer, but at the same time the learnings were put into use right away by delivering our own training session in pairs with another participant. I am very grateful for an amazing week of learning about myself, the ways I carry out training, moderation and facilitation sessions and how to improve it in the future. The session also offered special insights into the broad health sector since the participants brought diverse backgrounds of psychology, public health, pharmacology and medicine into the mix and it was just a great knowledge exchange among the participants. We all agreed that the public health sector could benefit from incorporating more non-formal learning methods into their work and hope to contribute to this process by continuing our journeys of becoming accredited trainers!”
