We wanted to strengthen our competences in the field of non-formal adult education. Exchange experiences in working for civil dialogue. Be able to observe each other's activities and work methods used, in particular those that include, engage and motivate participants. We wanted to see how the partner organization deals with teamwork, solving local problems and conflicts inside the organization. We wanted to establish cooperation with public administration to achieve synergy resulting from inter-sectoral cooperation to promote the idea: GREEN KRUSZWICA/GREEN CAMPINA.. We wanted to get to know our partner organization better and the local environment in which works. We were curious each other's about our cultures, traditions and customs. We wanted to test ourselves in action, individually and in teamwork. We wanted that participants develop their self-value and be motivated to be socially and civically active. We wanted that participants learn how to use computers and the Internet, learn the basics of English and encourage them to continue learning - to improve the image of older people in the local community.
We wanted to test in an international working environment (Polish and Romanian) two methods of non-formal adult education that we know and use in our daily development work: Inclusion Conversations and Heritage Walk. Financial limitations mean that without receiving the subsidy, we would not be able to carry out this process. The implementation of the project was important for our organizations wanting to increase the effectiveness of our activities, in accordance with the mission and vision of our NGOs, for the social and civic activation of the inhabitants of Kruszwica and Campina and building local communities. We also wanted for our organizations, which operating on a smaller scale for local communities, to establish transnational cooperation by participating in this Program for the first time. We also wanted to expand our educational offer and strengthen our image in our communities.
