Target group Teachers can be any kind of teacher working in a public or private school or educational institutions Training modules 1) Module 1: EU policies and actual guidelines on Non-Formal Education 2) Module 2: NFE, different environments of practices and existing tools 3) Module 3: Formal and Non-Formal, barriers and advantages, a possible dialogue 4) Module 4: NFE in class and other environments of development 5) Module 5: Teaching profession between Formal and Non Formal Education. This training is based on the expertise of the JUMP Team in this field, with years of practice and teachers training and on the research of ongoing and realized projects at the EU level which foresaw the creation of tools, manuals, training paths and new methodological approaches. The youth field in the years, especially, in the previous Erasmus era developed many tools and innovative ideas. Many teachers in Europe are still using old fashioned approaches and don’t know Non Formal methods to make classes more inclusive, interactive and fun. This course will train teachers on Non-Formal Education techniques, specifically focused on inclusion. NFE is not new but in the last year, many authorities at the European and Global level recognised that it’s a powerful tool that creates an inclusive and open-minded environment.
#INTRODUCTION TO NON FORMAL EDUCATION MANUALS#
The main important institution in Europe which created manuals and official tools on Non Formal Education is the Council of Europe.
#INTRODUCTION TO NON FORMAL EDUCATION PLUS#
The Erasmus Plus Programme supports the use of NFE as complementary to formal education and underlines the importance of cooperation between schools and entities using non-formal education, especially for inclusion and to empower active participation. It exists as a consistent and authoritative important literature demonstrating the opposite. What is called “Non-Formal Education” (NFE) is still considered a topic for “youths”, low level, without a clear and deep educational purpose and not valid to get the formal validation/evaluation by teachers and public institutions. At school, it’s mostly used a formal approach, while all actual European guidelines foster a more synergetic dialogue between formal and non-formal education. JUMP is an organization which since the beginning, proposes the use of Non-Formal Education as the most inclusive way to learn in groups and make all feeling part of the learning process. It’s necessary to restart a process of reflection and adopt new strategies to make the school systems and teaching a real inclusive “place” where also those who don’t feel excluded or “problematic” can understand the importance of this topic. While before inclusive approaches and policies were needed mainly for special needs students or for borderline subjects (students at risk of drop out).
But inclusion is also a concept changing according to European guidelines and emerging problems caused and exaggerated by the global pandemic. Schools are already the most inclusive places of our communities and the educational points of views for all citizens. It’s 2021 and we are all facing new challenges.
