This project is based on the follow up ideas of previous InFormal projects, and aims to further develop the existing resources through contributing with new methodologies and reflecting ways to address current challenges jointly in formal and non-formal educational settings, while integrating new, creative methods. In order to achieve that we would like to use the existing partnership that unites organisations having expertise in youth work and teaching and to put more efforts on integrated thematic approach to the practice stage of “InFormal Evolution” and to focus more strategically on creating local impact during the practice phase.As such, the objectives of this project are:- To develop competencies of educators in the fields of human rights education, active citizenship, global education and inter-cultural learning- To explore diverse methodologies, approaches and tools and to adjust them to the local youth work and education practice- To reflect on recognition of youth work in formal schooling- Developing consistency of cross-sectoral and transnational cooperation for better recognition- To create a network of practitioners, able to adjust diverse/creative methodologies for formal schooling and speak “the same language” with schools educators. Intellectual outputs:- Minimum two online courses on the mentioned topics on inFormal platform available for the wide range of educators: www.informal.study - Minimum 10 creative tools adjusted for the formal schooling system tested and added on the platform- Handbook on how to use creative methodologies in formal and youthwork setting- Creation of inFormal cross-sectoral community of practitioners, working together at sustainable absis, sharing and acting on the platformThe project will unite youth workers, youth leaders, teachers, professors, community leaders, and youth policy makers coming from Czech Republic, Hungary, South Korea,Phillipines, Indonesia, Taiwan, Poland committed for long- term learning process and social change. After the project course we expect our participants:to change their way of work and to make it more participative and transparent for youth; to understand the approach and principles of non-formal education and to use it for youth empowerment;to be able to use non-formal education tools during lessons, lectures, meetings, sessions, training activities they organize – giving more freedom and responsibility to learners;to be equipped with a set of other tools of youth empowerment (coaching and mentoring); to become active actors in promoting youth participation at local level. As for the methods, all of them will be non-formal,no-frontal.By innovating their approaches partners can plan high quality projects and organize own trainings and multiplying the results of this projects separately in each country. Moreover, it is expected that this project will strenghten bonds between partner organizations providing opportunities for new projects together.
