2nd Training on EDUCATION

WHERE: Ljubjiana

WHEN: 19th-22nd February 2009

WHAT: 4 days training on role games as an educational tool

We believe that a more equal world is possible only through individual change. To make the change possible, education has a fundamental importance in raising the awareness of the future generations. For this reason, Fair Trade volunteers are often involved in educational activities in the schools, or during public event, involving school age youngster. Talking to a young public is not always easy and the need of new and dynamical metholody is string among educators.To create an informal environment but yet a learning experience, to mix games and contents, to involve students and activate their curiosity, this is the challenge of those that are committed in the development education, including Fair Trade.

During the training we experienced the theoretical and practical aspects of the managment of a role play game, within an educational activity. We played first and learned how important is to play a different caracther, take some else position and perspectives and experience a differente situation. We de-briefed the different steps of the activity and enforced our trainers network in order to keep on exchanging ideas and lesson learnt.
