Exchange of good practice with Work Based Training - Art and Culture

Description

The applicant taking experience from the “Museum Mediator”, an Empowering programme in the field of art and culture has decided to create a project in which the past experience could be improved and shared. The partnership put into place has been composed of organisations active in the field of art and culture and in the development of empowerment courses and pathways to facilitate learning, empower and employability. The main aim of the project was to work together in order to achieve transparency and recognition of the non-formal skills and qualifications having analysed the variety of pedagogy, methodology and validation systems used. The proposal was built taking in consideration the “Museum Mediator” experience and the UK approach to student-centred learning and work-based learning offering in this way an innovative pedagogical approach to the partner’s organisations. In this way the project has addressed the priority of providing empowerment, promote the use of the work-based technique and provide an occasion to all society groups to keep learning and obtaining a qualification. We have worked together to bring in good/better practices, improve the materials of the Empowering programme and standardise it, with inputs from 6 partners representing 4 EU countries (Italy, Romania, UK and Spain). We are all seeking to enhance the “boost to empowerment” through art and culture to train entrepreneurial skills for IVET students. We wanted to collaborate to design the most appropriate curriculum and pedagogy, using the knowledge and experience of all partners. We acknowledge the different pedagogical approaches of partners/nations, yet also seek to be uniform in our approach.The project has helped strengthen the knowledge, competences and skills of 57 participants who work as trainers or curriculum developers within the partner’s organisation. The objective was to provide them with new and improved skills that would then be used to create new pathways within art and culture to empower young marginalised people, NEETs and unemployed, tackling in this way some of the major issues present in EU. The participants have also better understood the use and value of Europass, ECVET and EQF. The main target groups addressed are: staff of the partner organisations (teacher/trainers/curriculum developer), which will benefit directly from the developments of the project and consequently their target group which is NEETs, Minority groups and students which have shown interest on an empowerment programme.The empowering programme that we desired to share, improve and standardise is based on an empirical approach, offering immediate solutions in work-based learning and to help beneficiaries into active citizenship and consequently into sustainable employment. The partnership has created a creative and innovative activity called “Selfie Hunt” which can be integrated in the empowering courses offering the future participant a new way of acquiring skills and competences. The impact has been the development of a common curriculum which we all own – both as intellectual property and “own” in terms of our commitment to its quality delivery. The project has built and strengthened networks of European providers, enabling them to deliver a standardised empowering through art and culture curriculum, build organisational capacity and collaboratively (there has been further 2 projects created in the KA2 Youth sector/Vet), work towards achieving results that tackle EU's 2020 Strategy and foster CVET learning within the trainers/teachers and create a standardized format of training IVET students to empower them with art and culture (Selfie Hunt Empowement project which develops digital and soft skills).The overall project activities have been broken down into three stage plans representing the collection of collaborative work actions necessary for the achievement of the projected results & outcomes:*1st stage: Preparation & creation of templates, review existing materials, identifying of 4 key to create a useful empowering programme: 1.Team-Building & work2.Problem Solving & Creative thinking3.Student based learning methodology4.Work-based methodology*2nd stage: Improvement phase - Each partner has selected one of the topics which have then been explored and have created guidelines to improve our empowerment courses; *3rd stage: Production of exploration of routes to ECVET certification – identification and selection of ECVET learning outcomes. The identified 4 topics have been explored, the results, skill, competences & knowledge for them were identified in order to create a successful empowerment programme. Our transnational meetings coincided with the deadlines set for the project activities and were vital to complete the project.
