As part of the SYWOR Project (Stronger Together: Strengthening Youth Workers and Organisations for Displaced Youth Integration and Resilience), the MilleniuM Training and Development Institute, a prominent Moldovan NGO, has successfully launched a Free English Course tailored specifically for youth workers from NGOs and Youth Centers in Moldova. This initiative aims to enhance communication skills and empower youth workers to engage confidently on an international level.
Goals and Vision
The course is designed to provide participants with essential tools to improve their English proficiency, boosting their confidence in international communication. By equipping them with relevant language skills, the course paves the way for effective cross-border collaboration and professional growth. The initiative is not just about learning a language; it is about building a resilient community of empowered youth workers prepared to face new challenges and seize global opportunities.
Course Highlights
The course is structured to ensure maximum engagement and personalized learning, featuring:
- Three lessons per week, combining online and offline sessions to accommodate diverse learning preferences.
- A small group setting with a maximum of 15 participants, fostering a more interactive and supportive learning environment.
