1st KICK OF MEETING IN BERLIN

At the beginning of the project, the partners from our Aid Kit project finally met in Berlin for the first face-to-face meeting, in order to discuss the next steps that need to be taken in the project!

On the 13th of December, partners from Germany, Poland, Romania, Lithuania, and Denmark met in Berlin, Germany. Although the project started at the beginning of the year, this was the first meeting where partners could see each other face-to-face. To ensure a good pace of the project in the past, partners had online meetings that allowed them to set the next steps and move forward with the project.

Aid Kit for Autonomous Online Classes was launched with the main objective of making  a meaningful contribution to the up-skilling of educators in response to the growing need to improve the digital competencies of educators around Europe. As digital learning became the #1 solution for training courses, while not giving time to educators to prepare for the transition from traditional teaching to online education, the project aims to provide them with practical knowledge and solutions for improving their competencies by teaching them more attractive teaching methods to produce high-quality non-formal online courses.

At the beginning of the meeting, partners discussed the work that has already been done in the project, reviewing finished tasks as well as looking into the steps that will follow after the partners will go home. The Motivational Guidebook of Best Practices, which is the first result of the project, is finished and translated into all of the partner’s languages. The Guidebook contains best practices for trainers on how to motivate adult learners in digital non-formal learning programs, with an analysis of country-specific needs for distance learning programs in adult education, specifically in response to the pandemic.  You can find the English version and partner languages versions in the website of the project: https://aid-kit.erasmus.site/motivational-guidebook-of-best-practices/
