After an exciting Intercultural evening day 2 started with some energizers. We revisited ROPES group agreement to ensure
that we were on track with our commitment to each other.
The first task of the day was to design and
create a diary to be used with our learning buddy in which we could record our
own personal learning goals.
The second task of the day involved a team
building challenge in which we were given 20 activities to complete in 30
minutes. To do this we needed to work together to ensure success. See the
photographs below.
In the afternoon we looked at the different
styles of learning.
Formal learning – We all know formal
education from school, university or even nursery. We go there to learn what
the teacher is telling us to learn and we write exams at the end of a learning
process to check if we are able to fulfill the learning requirement.
Non-formal learning – this is actually what
we do here….. We set up our learning aims by ourselves and nobody forces us to
learn something. Instead of having a teacher we have facilitators or trainers
who motivate us in the learning process. It is learning by experience you make
by yourself. Learning by doing or how the scouts would say ‘learning by
burning’.
Informal learning – we all have informal
learning results. It means we learn without planning it. Some examples are
reading a book, watching TV or a movie, conversations or trips.
The day the followed by the session about
Erasmus+ programmes, we had group discussions and then we evaluated our knowledge
and understanding of this European funding through a quiz.
After that, we completed the day with
discussion about 8 Key Competences, which are the fundamental part of the
life-long learning of all European citizens and recognized by the awarding of
the Youthpass.
This was just the second day of getting to
know each other before looking deeply into the subject of Hate Speech. And as
you can see from the week programme below, there are many fruitful sessions
waiting for us during our training course J
