PROJECT DESCRIPTION & THE MAIN AIM OF THE TRAINING-SEMINAR:
To observe, feel, meet and understand. When we are in contact with nature, we feel renewed and we reinforce our sense of belonging in the biosphere.
Today, on global, international, national, territorial and local levels, biodiversity has become a societal issue that citizens must be fully informed about so they can freely decide on the direction that they wish to take for themselves and for future generations.
Environmental education is at the heart of the issues surrounding biodiversity. A topic relevant in today's society and in the future, education in biodiversity is essential nowadays and it is highly important to develop educational techniques in order to reconcile certain citizens with nature and to reinforce our ability to act together towards biodiversity. In addition, it appears essential to participate as a citizen and to train those who will become the catalysts of success in this domain.
This seminar fits into this context in order to facilitate the mobilization and training of participants on a European level.
PARTICIPANTS PROFILE: We are looking for youth workers and leaders who:
1. Are willing to get involved and to educate people about the environment
2. Are running (or want to develop) activities linked to nature aiming to the young people.
3. Are over 18 years old.
4. Have an advanced level of English.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES:
- To experience a teaching method of the environmental education sector and for each participant to adapt it to their own culture;
- To enrich one's own practice of educating about biodiversity;
- To discover the benefits that biodiversity brings to the process of informal education;
- To be open to teaching methods from other places;
- To be open to others and to other cultures;
- To make the emergence of projects between participants of the same country or between several European countries easier;
- To join the recent European environmental education network.
METHODS:
The chosen method is the project's style of teaching in 5 steps
1. To express initial expectations and knowledge
Identifying their knowledge allows the group to learn what each person knows, feels and imagines about the chosen theme. It is in this way that each person becomes aware of their knowledge.
2. To question ideas by means of the immersion workshops
This time is essential. It allows participants to tackle the subject by meeting with various players in the reality of their places of living and activity.
These exchanges trigger reactions and questioning in relation to the theme. From this, the issues that will serve as a work base for the week will emerge.
3. To define the projects together
The different means of questioning expressed will be analyzed and grouped together by theme: in this way several possible projects for the field work in the upcoming days become exposed.
4. Implementing the projects / acting and participating through the project workshops
This concerns the research phase, surveys, sharing teaching experiences linked to the project, elaborating a communal working method.
5. Communicate and evaluate
The recommunication of work is part of the learning process. Communicating is learning how to say, synthesize and retain essential information and learning to memorize information through the exercise of feedback.
- Working in large and small groups.
- The workshops linked to project education will be closely related to the other workshops
To finish off, some time will be set aside in order to conceptualize the teaching method experienced since the start of the seminar and to put it in the context of group leadership. The idea is to allow participants to exchange ideas about this method and to reflect by adapting it to the participant's own culture.
Accommodation:
You will be accommodated in the annexes of a castle. You will probably have to share the room with one or two other participants. Nights may be cold at this time of the year so please bring warm clothes. Bed linen will be provided.
