This project will aim to upskill our staff members both teaching and non teaching coordination staff in the area of non formal learning and its potential for empowering learners to participate as active citizens in society. It will focus on the methodologies used to engage hard to reach cohorts and then focus on how to measure the value of non accredited non formal learning and the wider impact this form of learning has for hard to reach cohorts of learners.
The project will upskill staff to ensure active citizenship and participation are embedded in non formal learning outcomes, it will assist us in demonstrating the value of non formal learning and the need to find more effective ways to evidence and report its impact. The project will assist us to upskill staff in terms of hard to reach cohorts, and learning new methodologies to engage. Participation and active citizenship are vital enablers for our learners engagement.
