COMETS – Understanding and facilitating individual and group learning processes
Training Course | 2-8 May 2018 | Vienna, Austria
The ‘COMETS training courses’ were developed as a support for trainers in their competence development, each course focusing on one competence area of the above-mentioned model.
Hence, with this call, Interkulturelles Zentrum, the Austrian National Agency for Erasmus+ Youth in Action together with SALTO T&C RC invite trainers to take part in this fourth edition of COMETS: ‘Understanding and facilitating individual and group learning processes’.
This particular competence from the model encompasses the following competences:
- Selecting, adapting or creating appropriate methods
- Creating a safe, inspiring learning environment
- Support learners in identifying and meeting their learning needs and overcoming any barriers
- Understanding and facilitating group dynamic in a way that is conducive to different ways of learning
- Stimulating active participation, motivating and empowering learners
- Effectively managing one’s own emotions in training situations; respecting ethical boundaries visa-a-vis learners
Taking the above into account, the intentions of the course are, amongst others:
- To reflect upon dimensions such as empathy, respect, and honesty in a learning context and process;
- To work on the attitudes of trainers and learners with regards to authenticity, openness, and curiosity;
- To reflect on and explore the limits and boundaries of learners;
- To explore ways to stimulate, support, and empower learners, individually and as a group
This project is financed by the Erasmus+: Youth in Action Programme. Being selected for this course, all costs (accommodation, travel, visa, etc.) relevant to participation in the course will be covered by the NAs or SALTO RC (EECA or SEE) involved in this project - except a participation fee which varies from call to call and country to country.
