FORMAL EDUCATION MEETS NON FORMAL LEARNING, THE COMPETENCE BASED APPROACH

Training Course

5-12 October 2013 | Kalamata, Greece

This is a training course which took place under Youth in Action program in November 2012 and due to its success, we are repeating it under the Grundtvig program. You can obtain the 100% of all by your Lifelong Learning Programme National Agency.
The issue of the competence-based approach is very important in Europe’s labor market today. As emphasized in the recommendation of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 on key competences for lifelong learning (http://eurlex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/site/en/oj/2006/l_394/l_39420061230en00100018.pdf) “As globalisation continues to confront the European Union with new challenges, each citizen will need a wide range of key competences to adapt flexibly to a rapidly changing and highly interconnected world. Education in its dual role, both social and economic, has a key role to play in ensuring that Europe's citizens acquire the key competences needed to enable them to adapt flexibly to such changes”. In the same document, a European Reference Framework that identifies and defines the 8 key-competences for lifelong learning is given and this is the reference tool that will be used throughout this training course. Skills acquired through Non-formal Learning (NFL) methodology are nowadays very much appreciated in almost all sections of personal and professional development. Many studies have shown that individuals who have additional, to their formal educational background, skills and competences have more opportunities to find a well paid job and continue their lifelong learning path. The training course aims to: - Train the participants in the methodology of NFL and to explore how NFL can be used within the framework of formal education and also as motivation for reintroducing the school drop outs to the educational system or the labour market. - Introduce the participants to the 8 key-competences and to self assessment methods - Explore and create new innovative educational tools/methodologies that can assist the participants in their efforts to help their target group to develop specific competences - Provide tools for inclusion of learners with fewer opportunities - Train the participants to create educational tools for their target group
