Developing skills and preparing teachers for leadership
The issue of training and professional development of local community leaders in the field of formal and non-formal education has become important in the partner countries due to the growing concern in society about the forms of citizen involvement in local democracy and new tools for working in society. The project is of great importance for meeting the priorities of partner countries at the national and regional levels in the field of teacher training and pedagogical science.
The project offers a complex system of training local community leaders by integrating formal and non-formal education through a developed curriculum in the form of a modular thematic cluster. The cluster combines elements of pedagogical, sociological, psychological, legal, economic and management programs.
One of the main innovative elements is the Public E-lab, which is an obligatory part of the Center for Non-formal Education of Local Community Leaders.
The electronic laboratory conducts training for potential and active community leaders on the formation of virtual communication skills in blogs and forums, including virtual communication with representatives of local authorities, deputies.
Specific goals:
Within the framework of the project, by analyzing the needs of the local community, the range of competencies provided by existing curricula of formal and non-formal education, the competencies necessary for various groups of local leaders will be determined.
The integration of formal and non-formal education can facilitate hands-on learning of skills that can significantly improve PC education systems, whose knowledge is still too theoretical to meet people’s real leadership needs.
Such integration can maximize the level of participation of the local population in local government and make people more active in their daily lives.
Specific goals:
- Development of an interdisciplinary modular thematic cluster for the training of leaders in a three-tier higher education system using the tools and mechanisms of the Bologna Progress.
- Modernization and development of retraining programs for local community leaders through the integration of formal and non-formal education.
- Creation of non-formal education centers for local community leaders with a public electronic laboratory as a platform for creating electronic networks, designing, developing and promoting socially significant ideas of the local community.
