You are 16 to 27 years old? Making music, dancing, making movies or graffiti is your thing? You enjoy passing on your skills to others? For example in workshops in youth centers or at schools? Then the ROOTS & ROUTES Peer Coach Academy is the right place for you!

The ROOTS & ROUTES Peer Coach Training consists of three parts:

  1. The actual Peer Coach Academy: A 12-day block phase with overnight stay, in the rooms of the Landesmusikakademie NRW in Heek-Nienborg;
  2. A supervised practice phase with at least 60 self-directed hours;
  3. a final reflection weekend.

Whoever has successfully gone through these three parts, receives the ROOTS & ROUTES Peer Coach certificate recognized by all members of the international ROOTS & ROUTES network. In 2021, for the first time, there was also the possibility to additionally obtain the juleica (youth leader card recognized throughout Germany) – for this, an additional external first aid course must be attended.

In addition to the RRCGN team, the team of coaches will include Winston Errol Scholsberg (Public Speaking Architect, The Hague/NL), Jimi Renfro (Vocalization and Performance, Cologne/Portland), Sabine Lindlar (Choreography & Dance/Cologne), Conny Beißler (Directing and Media, Cologne) and Johannes da-Costa (Audioproduction/Cologne).
