Empowerment through non-formal education
The project, funded by the EU Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP) – GRUNDTVIG, has the general aim of exploring and exchanging ex-periences and practice in order to em-power vulnerable individuals (for exam-ple, socially excluded people, finan-cially excluded people, poor communi-ties, unemployed people, drug users, etc.) through non-formal education methodologies, in order to:
- strengthen the capacity of organizations to empower vulnerable groups;
- improve the empowerment potential of non-formal education methodologies;
- promote the participation of vulnerable populations in the development of social intervention.
The learners of this partnership will be essentially staff/trainers from the partner organizations and also individuals be-longing to the targeted vulnerable popu-lations which will participate in the ex-change visits.
The expected output of the project ac-tivities will be a set of recommendations and a short video addressing non-formal education and empowerment, from both the points of view of trainers and trainees.
