POWER is training programme for staff members of closed institutions (detention services, prisons) probation centres, NGO’s to explore non-formal learning and explore good practices of activities and projects involving young people in/after imprisonment

- To introduce participants to opportunities of Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps programme for work with young people in or after imprisonment.

The methodology of online training is based on the fundamental principles of non-formal education.

An essential element of the methodology is based on the holistic nature of the learning experience, through methods that involve not only cognitive or intellectual approaches but also covering the behavioural and attitudinal ones.

Non formal learning is purposive but voluntary learning that takes place in a diverse range of environments and situations for which teaching/training and learning is not necessarily their sole or main activity. These environments and situations may be temporarily, and the activities or courses that take place may be staffed by professional learning facilitators (such as youth trainers) or by volunteers (such as youth leaders). The activities and courses are planned, but are seldom structured by conventional rhythms or curriculum subjects. They usually address specific target groups, but rarely document or assess learning outcomes or achievements in conventionally visible ways. (Source www.youthpass.eu)
