- suburb to lisbon

- dont likes finacial reports :)

- wolfgang: kindergarden, 

- works with new identity concepts

- margaux: freelance, intercultural work

- worked in circus

- likes peoples stories...

- we now talk about general ideas of the passionacademy concept

- participants have to go through the process themselves to understand it, and only then they can pass it on

- youth work: "youth worker is one who is providing the space and opportunity and conditions for young people to decide about their own future..." could also be passion

- youth workers can also create frame for passion

- ken robison: the element

- Sergio is reading it

- margaux is proposing tao activity

- maybe we can also play it beforehand, only three of us

- proposal for the structure of the week:

- beginning of the week personal

- rest of the week how to use it in my world

- personal learning plan, proposal to also look at strategical elements, help participants to construct a plan to be more passionate

- working with different sences

- margaux would like to work also with body other sences, connected with music, and so on

- which are conditions to develop attitudes (Sergio)

- principles of non-formal learning

- clarify in which frame we are working with

- luis castanheira pintu: establishes four sectors of non formal learning

- sergio: non formal learning is not methods but principles

- important to understand principles of non formal learning

-

- self made drum (Wolfgang)

- self made small drum (Wolfgang)

- what can you do to deepen it

- leadership and art, how can art help me to lead, to inspire other people

- extra ordinary leaders take more risks and therfore also fail more, when did we last fail at something

- running brainstorm? as a beginning

- passion, nfe, emotional intelligence

- lets create the flow

- story telling to make souls strong, we can also use that durring the seminar:

-

Emotional intelligence

Def: the ability to observe and make a difference between your own feelings and emotions and those from others. From the information that you get to let your thoughts and reactions/behaviors be lead.

To look inside

To pay attention : basis from cognitive and emotional intelligence

The advantages of emotional intelligence:

-High professional competences

-The basis to be happy and successful

From “do” to “be”…

Leadership and creativity

• Reflect

• gain perspective: to see reality as it is

• aspire to exceptionally exciting possibilities: to envision extraordinary possibilities

• inspire others

Returning to your unique perspective

Ex: journal, writing, arts

Wisdom, understanding your roots: “We stand on theshoulders of giants” Isaac Newton

Leadership and art : “Let the beauty we love be what we do. “ Rumi, Persian poet 13^th century

- the other: instead of concentrating on weaknesses and problems, to focus on leveraging strengths

- 5. May: topic of youth work not clear yet..

- should we have a performance or something at the end of the week

- jam sessions could be one idea

- should we have quality time to improve passion among youth in their work or also in their lives, can they develop strategies

- can they promote these tools then in their ngo...

- me and my context (is context my famiily, my collegues, my friends and so one, we can use these variables and see how people can use them

- sergio: drawing activity for finding consciousness about who is my surrounding and how does passion behave within that

- margaux: shoe box for: theater of my passion

- so maybe we need room for our passion, maybe some of us see passions but people cant use it because there is no room

- conditions to enjoy passion, lets create a modell with group?

- in order for young people to partcipate 5 conditions:

- recources

- space

- to understand our role as youthworkers: to set the room

- big group, good that we dont get distracted, so that we stay connected in the group

- bridge modell with youtwork

- question of ethics? what is the risks, are we playing with fire..

- 6th may afternoon free:

- 7th May about risks and what is price, maybe some are deeper, anyway on different levels

- 8th may strategy designing for how to use it at home, to develop follow-up action for after the training

- later get feedback from other regarding that

- 9 th goodby

- 10th blub

- how can we develop soft skills? how can we make others feel well about their passion, how can we motivate others, maybe on 7th in parallel sessions they can develop the soft skill that they want

- softskills brainstorm

- refine programme

- deviding tasks between us
