Leaven – Youth community builder and leader trainer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Training content<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Divinity, methods of community building and leading, game conducting, music knowledge, summer camps and program organizing knowledge, economic and tender-related knowledge, Internet tool (drive, Facebook) media knowledge. During the training the Leaven volunteers will be able to experience the phases of the community development between themselves.<\/p>\n

Training information<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

We are considering to launch a Leaven training in Autumn 2018 that would go down to the level of regions. It won\u2019t last for two years, only for one, thus it\u2019ll realize a dual target: it\u2019ll serve as the nurturing of new blood on the one hand, and on the other each and every parish of the region can bring along some young participants.<\/p>\n

Training target group<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019d like to engage every \u201cable-bodied\u201d young person from the age group of 13-25. And we don\u2019t want to train them separately; we\u2019re planning to invite their priests and catechets too, so that they could take part in the training for a couple of times. If they wish to do so they can be with us at the weekends during the entire year, but the goal is to have them at least 3 times to implement a real team-like training by the end. Because this way these people can come together and form a team even during the training, meaning that later they can really count on each other. Based on our plans the first Leaven program to be realized this way will be organized in the Tisza region. Hopefully this would give a really significant momentum to that region. And watch for the next region to follow suit where you can join the training. The maximum number of our participants is 20 youth and 20 adult (25+ is priest or catechet).<\/p>\n

Our goal<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Our goal is that following the completion of the Leaven program our young participants start to lend a helping hand and contribute to the operation of a children or youth community at their own parishes, i.e. start to act as leaven. If it\u2019s possible by the time they complete the Leaven program they should be able to start a new group or entrusted with an already existing one by the local parish priest or catechet.<\/p>\n

The beginnings and our results<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

In March 2011 Reverend L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Farkas organized a professional event about youth pastor care service. At that professional event we discussed what could be done for the youth and a socilogist summarized these thoughts, i.e. the things most needed in the V\u00e1c Diocese. The result was clear-cut; it was written in almost every single sheet of paper that some kind of youth leader training would be needed, because that could be the starting point of communities. After the permission of our Bishop, we invited Sister Angela, Tereza Worowska, and Sister Kati from the Salesians (and from Hajszol\u00f3) and Fec\u00f3 Zlinszky from Regnum Marianum. And we started to put together this dream of the leader training program customized to the diocese together with these people. The first class started in January 2012. They completed their studies two years later in November. In November 2013 44 participants completed the training and since then many of them are already community leaders. Then we started our second two-year long class, where between January 2015 and November 2016 43 young people completed the Leaven training. The training lasted for two years, and priests as well as representatives of spiritual movements and religious orders also participated in the implementation thereof. It consisted of a part of intensive studying, a very spiritual one with lots of praying, spirituality and contemplation, as well as a practical part. Our Leaven members lead 50 communities and approximately 26 new ones were born in the 3 years between 2014 and 2016 by our Leaven volunteers, the majority of whom are volunteers from our regions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened.\u201d <\/em>(Mt 13,33)<\/em><\/p>\n
