Become an actor in your own life and in solidarity with that of others.
Define your orientation or professional project. The Fondacio Training Institute in Belgium offers two 16-week courses to help young people take charge of their lives and become actors in the world of tomorrow.
The place
IFFEurope.be is located in a house in Louvain-la-Neuve. This city, founded in the 1970s by students, is lively, dynamic and full of projects led by young people. Many organizations offer committed activities, ranging from ecology to social work, through sport or music. IFFEurope.be fits perfectly into this network that brings meaning and hope. Each young person is welcomed in a warm and family atmosphere so that they feel welcome, just as they are.
The context
Today’s society faces multiple transitions, particularly in higher education and the professional world. Thus, training paths and careers are no longer necessarily linear, opening up multiple fields of possibilities perceived as disconcerting and leaving young people in the dark. The current challenge consists in taking responsibility for one’s own career and becoming an actor in one’s study and/or professional path. This is why IFFEurope.be offers what seems to be missing in the learning path; time to get to know yourself better, have confidence in your abilities, learn to function with people who are different from yourself, make decisions and engage in the world.
Goals
IFFEurope.be offers an innovative educational approach aimed at developing the human being as a whole. Thus, during various workshops, each young person can deepen their self-knowledge, their sensitivity to others and their commitment to the world. Our mission is to support the growth of these young people so that everyone can develop, within a benevolent group, their unique potential which is just waiting to be brought to light.
Main activities
IFFEurope.be offers two 16-week courses to meet the needs of many young people today; get to know each other better before committing to their studies or professional orientation.
Numerous practical workshops (self-knowledge, relational and systemic development, communication, creativity, body expression, toolbox, etc.), company visits, testimonials, individual and professional support sessions allow everyone to gradually define their project.
“It’s five months of refocusing. It’s about taking the time to get to know yourself, discovering what is important to you, accepting yourself as you are, opening yourself up to new experiences and daring to listen to yourself in order to make choices that suit you. . “Ysaline, student of the IFFEurope.be jumping course.
The TREMPLIN course is intended for young secondary school graduates (CESS) who are looking for an orientation or a reorientation towards higher education. Its particularities are a trip to Togo (with IFF Africa), a week of volunteering in Belgium and a three-week job shadowing internship.
The JUMP course is aimed at young holders of a post-secondary diploma (Bachelor, M1, M2) with or without experience in the professional world. Its particularity is to offer exclusive meetings in several companies that inspire the world of tomorrow and to define its own professional identity card in close collaboration with a mentor.
"Since You Can't Change The Direction Of The Wind, You Must Learn To Trim The Sails." James Dean
In 20 years, society has changed radically. In a time of digital and ecological transition, benchmarks, values and challenges have changed, considerably modifying the world of work, but also the needs and aspirations of new generations. It is from this observation that our two formations were born. They want to offer a solution to young people who are looking for a place to discover themselves and imagine a personal project in line with the challenges of their time!
