The overall project objective is the development of competencies of trainers and teachers working in the educational and social fields to transition towards blended learning in a European context.Given the constraints of the current global pandemic and the fact that online training and mobile learning is becoming more and more important, the aim is to adapt existing training curricula to a blended form of learning – face-to-face and online.All three partner organisations involved in the project – Organizatia Umanitara CONCORDIA (OUC) in Romania as the lead applicant, as well as the Centro per la Cooperazione Internazionale (CCI) in Italy and Human Rights Campus (HRC) from the Netherlands – have extensive experience in training and also in online and blended training. The new component for all of the organisations is the structured development of a Training of Trainer’s curriculum which allows teachers and trainers – independent from the target group they are working with and the content they have to deliver – to partially train their target group online. An additional objective is to exchange on existing knowledge about pedagogy, tools (e.g. platforms, applications) and training methods among the partners.In order to reach the objectives described above, the main activities are going to take place as follows:- Development of train the trainers’ curriculum and participants’ manual including a toolkit for blended training.- 10 days’ Train the trainers’ programme (8 days face-to-face and 2 days online) for 13 teachers and trainers 8 from OUC, 3 from CCI and 2 from HRC. The scope of training will be to provide to participants methodical and didactic skills, knowledge about blended learning planning and preparation of teaching-units.- Development of a blended learning curriculum & toolkit on Human Rights and Global Education.- Teachers’ training with a minimum of 15 trainers/teachers/instructors (2 modules, 3 days each plus 2 days virtual exchange in each country). The training objective will be to develop theoretical and practical competences of participating teachers regarding the transition towards blended learning. The agenda will blend theoretical lectures with exploration of case studies and examples. Different teaching methods will be used: single and team teaching, group-works. The learning methods will include self-directed learning, collegiate case consultation, reflection units, application of mediated knowledge to practice.Regular progress meetings are assuring the compliance with the project objectives as well as the on-time implementation of the activities. The multiplication events in the three countries and at European level are going to make sure a proper communication and the visibility of the project. Information related to training module implementation will be published on all partners’ websites and social media.About 58 trainers and teachers will benefit directly through the project and enhance their capacity to instruct in blended methodology, while other 400 educators from 200 organizations at European level will be informed about project results. As the blended learning curriculum & toolkit will be made available in English, Dutch, Italian and Romanian and disseminated widely in digital format, thousands of teachers and trainers in Europe will be supported to implement blended learning in the classroom.
