Centre for Intercultural Dialogue (Macedonia), Out of the Box International (Belgium) and Wisamar (Germany) are very happy to announce the call for participants for the Adult Learning Training Course for educators and leaders “Social Inclusion through Entrepreneurship”
ABOUT THE PROJECT:
The project “Social Inclusion through Entrepreneurship” works to ensure more inclusion of citizens with fewer opportunities by providing (social) entrepreneurship education. It is a project where innovations from Germany, Belgium and Macedonia will be exchanged and summarized in a joint publication, resulting in a new curriculum as an intellectual output. The project aims to develop capacity of educators and leaders who are active and experienced in adult learning programmes, to design and deliver educational programmes, to facilitate inclusion and to initiate employability.
This training course focuses on capacity building of adult learning providers and educators on social inclusion. The course has several stages designed to support the experiential learning of the participants and build their competences and motivation to understand the potential obstacles for citizens with fewer opportunities and how to empower them. Furthermore, during this course good practices on the topic of social inclusion will be shared and documented for further dissemination. The participants will be involved directly through experiencing and sharing their real issues and challenges. The participants´ involvement puts them in the main steering role, as they will have the opportunity to visit local institutions which work with citizens from the social work center, delinquency offices or police council for prevention of crime. In addition, participants will learn from practical activities and create new networks to support new approaches for inclusion of citizens with fewer opportunities. In addition, during this course we will explore the Erasmus+ Inclusion strategy and the EC document on supporting migrants and refugees.
