HOW DO WE WORK?

The main methods will be through practical training, cooperative work, various activities and discussions. The content is thematic and interdisciplinary and based on ”learning by doing” combined with “reflection upon action”.

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
