TALE : Educational approach and main methodological elements of the Course

Educational approach

Based on the objectives listed here, the educational approach of the Training Course was developed by the Course team. This educational approach is based on the principle that becoming, being and developing as a trainer is a lifelong learning process. The course is neither the beginning nor the end: it sets out to be an essential contribution to the personal and professional development of trainers aiming to be active in the framework of European Youth Work and Non-Formal Education.

The course is designed to give participants the opportunity to experience, and reflect upon, being a trainee and a trainer at the same time. The course is designed as a mutual learning situation where participant-trainers can learn from each other and from the experiences they encounter during the Course.

Due to its long-term character, the course is designed in a way where the three seminars are only one aspect shaping the learning process of participant-trainers. The time between the seminars is an integral part of the Course, supported by an enhanced e-learning approach. Generally acting as a responsible self-directed learner is a key feature for the Course.
