- personal motivations, barriers, biases and experiences connected to learning,
- and the influence of facilitators, teachers and youth workers on learning environments.
The training course will use nonformal education methods, experiential activities, discussions, reflection exercises and group processes to support participants in exploring learning from both personal and professional perspectives.
Objectives of the training course:
- To explore how learning happens in formal, nonformal and informal contexts.
- To increase participants’ awareness of how personal experiences, motivations, barriers and biases influence learning processes.
