Our approach is experiential, focusing mostly on practice, workshops and lectures are led by experienced lecturer as well by teachers and educators from practise.
We offer space for sharing experience and expertise among participants. Positive atmosphere, exchange and fun is a part of the process during the week.
Before the course we provide participants with preparatory tasks and we provide also support after the course.
Every day we reflect up on what have we done, what was the purpose and how can we use this back home/professionally, how can we adopt it to our professional life, schools – and learning conditions in Europe
BEFORE THE COURSE – PREPARATION
The programme of the course is tailored to the needs. Participants will fill out an intake form so that the course organiser can design the course as much as possible according to the level of experience and the concrete wishes of the participants. The participants will be invited to a Social media community where they get to know each other, are informed about current issues, communicate and share information and ideas and prepare for their own course identified opportunities.
Participants obtain materials to study and read before the course, to be ready to discus, share opinions, as a base for practical training. The course provider is also in touch with school coordinator (when it is helpful also with participants) and is ready to fit the programme to the participants needs.
Participants are also asked before the course to:
– contribute to the international social evening, with something representing their country/region.
– answer to set their professional goals for the training, to be communicated with the participants and course leaders.
– prepare a presentation about your workplace /school
AFTER THE COURSE – FOLLOW-UP
Important part of the training is evaluation at the end of the course, and given as feedback to the participants.
After the course, participants will be asked to reflect on what happened when they returned home and how the course influenced their teaching and school/workplace. This will be shared by Information and communications technology (ICT).
The course provider support after the course activities, eg. professional exchange in the field. Outdoored are open to help with dissemination via their web page, facebook page to share information with community of teachers who has already attended courses or are interested in this field.
