We wanted to build our own capacity and improve the quality of non-formal adult education offered by FTS to CSOs around digital transformation. Objectives: - Strengthen competencies of our staff as adult educators - Strengthen our capacity to educate CSOs on digital transformation - Improve our capacity to develop sustainable cross-border cooperation and transnational learning. With this project we wanted our staff members to: - gain knowledge and skills on how to design and deliver training for CSOs - gain knowledge and skills on how to better support CSOs in their digital transformation - improve their learning methods and educational content of trainings - learn good practices from peers in other countries. The expected impact of the project was to: - Develop new and innovative interactive teaching methods for CSO adult learners - Network with peer organisations and improving international relationships - Improve competence and quality of training and support on topics connected with digital sphere - Increase the quality and support provided to CSOs adult learners with improved trainings and digital transformation guidance - Professionalization of digital marketing to reach more audience - Improve cross border peer learning
Over the last few years our organisation has grown significantly, with FTS currently consisting of 50+ employees. As we grow, we need to invest continuously in maintaining synergy in the team, aligning competencies of our staff and ensuring high quality educational opportunities on offer. With this project we wanted to develop new learning opportunities for staff members to invest in lifelong learning and our institutional development. We were in need to increase the number of staff prepared to deliver various formats of education for CSOs in order to better guide them through their digital transformation. We wanted to enhance internal capacities as an education provider in the area of digital transformation, with the focus on online education approaches; how to better support CSOs in their digital transformation journey; how to improve learning methods and education content on cloud solutions, digital marketing and digital transformation; and learn about best practices from peers. By addressing these needs we wanted to improve our adult education learning programmes and consequently to better serve our adult learners from CSOs and be able to respond to the growing demand for our support from a wide range of CSOs.
