The project originates from the match of development needs and existing expertise of the partners. Each partner offers their expertise in order to train the staff of the others. We offer a personalized learning-path to our staff, designed by each learner matching their level, interest, motivation and skills-development needs, built on their active participation and responsibility for their own learning process, and the principle of ‘learning organisation’.
Partners are NGOs from the Netherlands, France, Germany, Hungary active in international networks of non-formal education in the non-profit civic sector, working with multicultural groups of diverse social backgrounds and disadvantaged people as priority, in a variety of methods and themes.
Target group is facilitators of adult learning groups (trainers, coaches, mentors, instructors, community workers) using non-formal methods in our NGOs and networks.
The objective is the professional development of group facilitators and organizations. We aim to improve skills specific to working with groups in non-formal education, through this to increase efficiency of staff and organizations, share, multiply, adapt and integrate know-how and best practices, lay the base for future cooperation.
We offer 2 kinds of learning opportunities:
– participation in training courses run within the partnership, aiming development of professional skills in specific area
– mentored or coached work experience spent at the partner organizations
The theme is the common feature of our work: the dynamics of the group setting and the skills of the group facilitator. We define and improve the basic skill-set of facilitators, share methods used successfully for this aim and revise or staff development strategies.
