Methodology & assessment

Based on formal and non-formal education, our methodology will try to stimulate active participation, pro-activity, responsibility and sharing of all participants involved. In this way, we aim to build a diverse and stimulating environment for reflecting, working and learning.
Since this course has several features in common with other courses (as you can check on this platform), sometimes participants will be all together, sometimes with some other participants, sometimes alone, depending on the specific programme. In this way we also intend to foster the cooperation and exchange between them all, as well as the knowledge of other school education systems and practices.
Our training course has a horizontal and practical approach and will make use of the following methods and tools:
• interactivity
• team-building and team-working
• good-practice case-studies
• multimedia
• project-based learning
• practical labs
• brainstorming
• role-playing
• self and group assessment and evaluation

Materials, digital tools & other learning resources

After the confirmation and before starting, we will provide some documents and learning contents of our “Library of Methods & Tools” in order to start getting involved in topics and subjects that will be taught. While additional documents and contents will be shared during the training course.

Certification details

At the end of the course, each participant will be awarded with a certificate of attendance containing all relevant information.

Europass Mobility Certificate: we will provide text and information to support sending organisations in their application process. And we will finally validate, sign and issue the document.
