Youth organisations working in Human Rights Education rarely have the luxury of separate teams for facilitation, administration, and project management. The same people do all of it. This training course is built around that reality — and designed to help you do all of it better.
Libre-pensadores de La Sierra de Madrid (LPS) is organising Cycle Up — a Training of Trainers focused on Human Rights Education, project management, and advanced facilitation competences. Taking place in Cercedilla, Spain, the course brings together 25 youth workers, trainers, and project managers from across Europe and beyond, with a clear aim: to create a new generation of versatile, 360° professionals in the HRE field.
What Is This Training About?
The core conviction behind Cycle Up is straightforward — multidisciplinary teams reach their full potential only when their members have a holistic understanding of the projects they lead. The training bridges the gap between administrative excellence and educational impact, equipping participants with tools for both. Everything is covered by Erasmus+ and the training is completely free.

How It Works
The training is based entirely on non-formal education principles — voluntary, participatory, learner-centred, and holistic. It is experience-based and action-oriented, starting from the actual needs of the participants. Follow-up activities are planned as part of the process — learning does not end when the training does.
