INTENSIVE PROGRAMME - NEW TOOLS FOR NON-FORMAL EDUCATORS WORKING ON INTERCULTURAL LEARNING
The main aim of the project is to combine formal education and non-formal education approaches and methods in order to improve the quality of the training for future Social Workers, Youth Workers and Community workers. This will be done by providing them with a hands-on intercultural experience.
The 5 main objectives of the project are to:
- Understand better the European Dimension of Social Work, Youth Work and Community Work and how it co-relates with our professional reality;
- Support Intercultural Learning (ICL) as a fundamental process for integration in the society;
- Encourage the use of Non Formal education (NFE) methods in Social Work, Youth work and Community Work;
- Promote the use of new tools in Social Work, Youth Work and Community Work;
- To exchange about Social Work, Youth work and Community Work realities in the different partner countries;
During the IP new tools will be presented through a multi-disciplinary approach bringing input from ICT and multi-media and, Social Entrepreneurship. Other kinds of tools are the European Programs (like Youth in Action) that can enable SYC workers to create an Intercultural learning context.
For this purpose, the IP uses a combination of formal and non-formal education approaches and methods, like simulation games, group building activities, etc.
The introduced ICT and multi-media techniques will be implemented in and after the program by task groups on multi media interviews, movie making, digital storytelling, etc.
Students are expected to develop a concrete follow-up during the IP and implement it once back home. The program also includes field visits.
As a result of the IP an interactive website will be created as a tool for an ongoing digital learning community. The partners expect that the IP and its follow-up activities will increase and improve the use of ICT and multi Media techniques in Social work, Youth Work and Community Work.

We will propose a discussion about the differences between formal and non-formal education, about the efficiency of the lattest and the ways the two forms of education can combine. The students who participated in the I.P will present topics discussed there (youth work, social work, formal and non-formal education etc.).
