This project creates training delivery opportunities with partners in LT, CZ, BG, RO. For Pathways these will allow staff, through cooperative processes, to learn and use experiential learning programmes in contexts very different from the UK.

 

Each partner will receive a short ‘Training Delivery Programme’ (TDP) relevant to their expressed needs. The process provides opportunities for Pathways to prepare, deliver, monitor & evaluate its work.

The methodologies to be used will be creative, experiential and informal.

 

There are two further important aspects to the chosen 4 partner approach:

1. The considerable type and quality difference between the partners - each will require its own carefully prepared training approach. There are university research centres (LT), small not-for-profit educational agencies (BG), Local authority educational institutions (RO) and small rural community development groups (CZ)

 

2. The sequential nature of the project: delivering training that will use the learning of one in developing the next (4 separate TDPs).

 

Together these contrasting situations, each representing the breadth of work available to Pathways & with very specific individual requirements, provide Pathways with learning opportunities that will enhance the value of the whole project.

 

Results and impact envisaged:

This project will have provided opportunities for Pathways to  develop competences & introduce change by the structured training delivery to partners whose background and experience is a reflection of the varied contexts with which Pathways works.

 

The project will have:

Improved management staff skills:

- communication & consultative decision making processes

- Strategies for course development & marketing

Developed Teaching Staff competences:

- informal & creative teaching & evaluation capabilities

- Adaptivity to differing cultural & learning contexts
