Dear students from all over Europe,
Train the Trainers Summer School (TtT) is now looking for the Head of Org.Com for the sixth edition of the event which will take place in August, 2015!
What is training in EFPSA?
Training is an experiential and interactive way of learning, where the trainer brings together a group of participants to discover new knowledge together. In EFPSA, the Training Office aims to support personal and professional development of people working actively for the organization and also reach to local students in member countries.

What is the TtT?
TtT is a high quality training event that aims for the development of new EFPSA trainers. During the week participants will learn the basics of planning, delivering and evaluating training and will develop the attitude and ethics of an EFPSA trainer. TtT graduates have a chance to become EFPSA trainers and contribute to the youth training field also outside EFPSA. On top of training, TtT aims to empower cultural exchange and diversity by bringing participants, trainers and organisers from different counties to learn and create friendships. The TtT is gradually becoming a highly reputated event, with the previous edition we receiving over 100 applications!
