Knocking on NFE's door
Start date: Jan 4, 2016, End date: Oct 3, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Knoking on NFE's door is a multi-measures project promoting non-formal education, arose from the partnership between six associations working in the field of youth and in the field of training.The partners represent six countries, France, Italy, Romania, Spain, United Kingdom and Sweden.Principally, we want to gain a better understanding of how non-formal education works in different fields of youth education and how we can share our experience and knowledge in order to improve the quality of our work, focusing on three topics: Active Participation, the Environment & Sustainability and finally, Life Skills.During the eight months we will organise three training courses and a seminar event. These will be addressed to youth workers, teachers, volunteers, researchers, administrators and anyone working in the youth field or interested in these themes.Implementing multiple training events gives us the best opportunity to reach our project objectives, which are to:– promote, through intercultural methods, non-formal education in youth work focusing on the three topics of; Active Participation, the Environment & Sustainability and finally, Life Skills.– gain new practical knowledge and competences in NFE.– share our strengths and best practices in NFE.– connect, explore and have a better understanding of how NFE is used by different actors in different fields of education and in different cultures and countries.– develop new NFE methods on our three chosen topics.– create high-quality videos documenting all aspects of this multi-measures project, such as:> a launch video, made during the first meeting, with interviews of the coordinators and trainers, footage of us working and presenting thoughts about what is or what should be non-formal education in our opinion.> during each of the training courses we expect our participants to create 5 NFE methods and each of these will have a video made about it, which will cover its implementation, a live-action demonstration of the method and if needed animated graphics to further explain the details of the method.> a final documentary video capturing the entire multi-measures project, with clips from each of the events, interviews of new and returning participants, etc.These activities will take place in different countries, according to the abilities and availabilities of the members of the partnership.In January, a kick off meeting will be organized in France, hosting nine persons, all members of the partnership and trainers that will be involved in the training courses. In February we will launch our first training course in Italy, with the wide and so interesting subject of Non-Formal Education and Active Participation. In April, the Romanian partner will host the training course about the Environment & Sustainability. In June, we will implement the last training course in Spain, which will be about Life Skills. Each training course will last six days, and gather together thirty people in total.As the finale of this multi-measures project, we will organize a Seminar Event at the end of August to disseminate and share our results, creations and ideas we have built throughout the preceding months.In total, considering all the activities, we hope to gather around 150 participants around this project.All the meetings will be video recorded, with interviews of trainers and participants, filming the different tools and methods used and documenting the different sessions. For the majority of sessions, we will use non-formal education methods, as well as tools from project pedagogy, debating, brainstorming, self-assessment and evaluation to create a collaborative and nurturing atmosphere.
