Project addressespossibilities of respecting the needs of education workers to participate in the creation of innovative forms of professional development, whilst including partner organisations coming from countries where the educational system developed based on the same principles in the past, thus enabling the use of unique methodology in adult education.Project initiated the experience of participants from trainings that partner organisations implemented, related to the innovation in professional development upon the needs of education workers.In defining the project idea, we started from the Lisbon strategy (2000) and the European Qualifications Framework, we’ve analysed legal framework and the documents of the Ministry of Education’s institutions in each of the country participating in the project, which are related to planning, programming and organizing of the professional development as a form of lifelong learning. Resolving of the existing situation is possible through advocacy based on the project results, which will affect the change of the professional development policies. Target group of the project are 600 education workers from participating countries, specifically: kindergarten teachers, primary school teachers and associates in education, who are being selected based on the established criteria and are the members of partner organisations. Project aims are: 1.Identifying the needs of education workers to participate in the development of the innovative concepts for lifelong learning, related to: field of study, content, form, timeframe, methods and work forms, authors-implementers of professional development; and based on the current situation analysis of the lifelong learning through examination of attitudes of education workers in 3 countries, interpersonal dialog on 4 roundtables, developed lists of similarities and differences of the defined competencies and possibilities of lifelong learning in participating countries, experiences from 4 trainings on study visits, and creation of innovative models of professional development personal plans tailored to the practitioners and inline with the education requirements for 21st century. 2. Creation of the common scientific-expert Platform based on the innovative concepts and models of joint online training course, as well as their dissemination in the area of lifelong learning of education workers, with the participation of 80 education workers on 4 new trends workshops in each of the partner countries. 3. Creation of the scientific-expert Publication “Challenges of lifelong learning in the 21st century” in languages of the participating countries, with practice examples to be used for advocating for change in the creation of policies for lifelong learning, printed in 1000 copies and on 150 pagesthat will be promoted on the International Scientific and Expert Conference “Challenges of lifelong learning in the 21st century”. Implementation of the activitiesat the same time, using the same methods, in Serbia, North Macedonia and Croatia, will contribute to the achievements of the aims and expected results of the project, using teamwork, workshops, debates, discussions, interpersonal dialogs, active learning methods on the study visits, analytic-synthetic methods for analysing the existing conditions for professional development of education workers. Project implementation will be carried out by continuous activities that are co-related, thus the results of the previous activity represent the basis for the next one. Project starts with the analysing the exiting conditions for professional development by examining attitudes of 400 education workers and analysing the law regulations, done by each partner on 4 roundtables for 40 participants. Comparative analysis will be used for the list of similarities and differences in defining the competences, and conditions for their realization through participation in one of four trainings on study visits for 4 members of each partner, which will provide the suggestion for the development of the Platform, the Publication and online training course. In 4 workshops of new trends, 80 education workers will create innovative models of professional development personal plans and will write the draft of the Platform for the development of the lifelong learning. Working meetings will be used to plan and verify the achievements, and to define the next steps for preparation of the Publication that will contain the project results and the draft of scientific-expert based innovative models for direct and online implementation of professional development of education workers. By achieving the dissemination strategy, project activities will be transparent and media covered, the project results will be promoted during the Conference with 40 participants, while the advocating with the stakeholders and decision makers will promote them as an initiative for changes of educational policies in participating countries.
Prijavili smo se na projekat da bismo ukazali na potrebe prosvetnih radnika/ca da se aktivno uključe u kreiranje inovativnih oblika i kreiranju politika stručnog usavravanja i celoživotnog učenja. Razmišljanja o ovoj temi nastala su na osnovu iskaza učesnika obuka, koje su organizacije realizovale, a koji se odnose na inovacije u stručnom usavršavanju. Krenuli smo od ispitivanaj potreba, utvrđivanju sličnosti i razlike u dostignutom nivou stručnog usavršavanja u zemljama učesnicama u projektu, predložili koji su to inovativni oblici stručnog usavršavanja koji se mogu realizovati u sve tri zemlje, kao i definisali načine na koji bi donosioci odluka uključivali prosvetne radnike u kreiranju politika stručnog usavršavanja. Usmeravanje ka mogućem rešenju uočenog stanja smo pronašli u javnom zagovaranju I na osnovu rezultata projekta. Pokazatelj opravdanosti izbora teme kojom smo se bavili jesu i pisma podrške sa pozicije zainteresovanih strana koje smo dobili od resornih ministarstava u sve tri zemlje, učešćem njihovih predstavnika na pojedinim aktivnostima (od okruglih stolova, preko radionica do konferencije), značajna medijska zastupljenost u štampanim i elekronskim medijima u sve tri zemlje.
