The methods were based on the non-formal, participatory-based and needs orientated. Facilitators used exercieses amongst others from EU Training Manuals such Compass, Mosaic, T-Kit and Domino Pack developed by Council of Europe and/or the European Commission. In addition to that, the trainers used their own tool kits or toolkits from other own kits. Those methods foster a high participation rate involving the participants actively in determining their learning progress by creating learning moments that feature a high emotional and cognitive involvement.
The training was a success and new methods were developed as a result.
