Hello there, I am Qassem Alhomayyer. Last year, I had the chance to get to know e-VELP, where I started the volunteer educator training. I was already at that time a trainer, but I have never created my own workshop. Whilst doing my training I’ve learned a lot about group dynamics, non-formal education and more. At the end of the training, I finished making my own concept for my first workshop.My workshop addresses men with migration backgrounds in Germany and adresses topics like Masculinity, discrimination and racism. I had the opportunity to offer my workshop within my work as a trainer.In the workshop were men with migration background. In the beginning we got to know each other. Then we talked about masculinity, about which images are spread in society about the "real man" and where such images come from.After that, we discussed about the different roles that people have in different situations and what expectations are attached to the specific roles.In the last step, we exchanged ideas about the topic of racism. Many participants shared their personal stories and experiences.I was very happy that there was a very comfortable atmosphere in the workshop. I was also very touched by the fact that the participants empowered each other when they shared their experiences with racism.That was my experience with implementing my own workshop. I currently feel empowered to offer even more workshops, exchange with people and share my knowledge with others.

After this time my school (European Azerbaijan School) made a project named "Seeds of Light". I have organized my trainings within the project. My workshops were about opportunities of using digital learning tools in Biology, Physics, and Chemistry lessons, new techniques, and methods in teaching. Teachers also learned how they can implement these tools to the assessment. As a digital tool, they met with Nearpod, Padlet, TedED, Google Slides, Piktochart, jeopardy LAB, CK 12, etc. Participants were from another region, therefore, they joined online training. Feedback was positive about the workshops. Indeed, I had workshops for teachers and students. Students were more than teachers. 3 Science teachers regularly joined workshops. Maybe it does not seem like a lot, but it is a good result for me because we can not find a lot of people from rural areas who know the English language, they were enthusiastic. Students were approximately 10 in trainings, they were from the same area as the teachers. One of the teachers told that I appreciate your effort, and by sharing your knowledge in this way, you shared useful information for us, and I will definitely implement these digital learning tools in my lessons.
