There will be an ongoing and intensive reference not only to the subjects on offer, but also to the specific situation and problems in the home countries of the participants. There should be adequate space be given for bilateral discussions (at least coach-participants, but also participant-participant).Īlso central methodical-didactic basic principles for training implementation by APPLICATIO are:. Work in the group and in the plenary play a central role, in which the trainers as moderators/facilitators steer the group. Group works, presentations and discussions should take place especially after the lunch break, as often experienced the concentration for intense learning is lower in the afternoon. Practice is based on case studies, so the results are applicable. Discussions about fundamentals lead to the practice of applying and testing of tools based on practical examples. Short impulse lectures should introduce the respective topic complex and impart the necessary basic knowledge however, frontal teaching should be reduced to a minimum. With regard to didactic-methodologic methods, the programmes are oriented accordingly to the principles of adult education, i.e. Transparency: APPLICATIO communicates openly and transparently with its partners and clients about the respective interests, and the setting of objectives, content, and conditions of cooperation. Tolerance: A climate of openness and partnership motivates learners and trainers and promotes mutual understanding and a willingness to participate. Participant orientation: The specific design of the workshops is based on the previous knowledge, values, needs and interests of the participants. The practical application of acquired skills is in the foreground in the sense of improved action competence. Pratice orientation: A direct reference of the course content to the every day work of the participants is crucial. Diversity: The learning formats and methods enable the inclusion of the different levels, "head, heart and hand".
Participation: Learners and trainers are equal partners the learning process is understood as a joint project of all parties, for its success all take responsibility.The focus is on strengthening the problem-solving, action and change management skills (depending on the subject of the training and the needs of the participants).
This basic understanding of learning processes forms the basis for each workshop. According the dicactic basic understanding of APPLICATIO learning is a situational, active and socially embedded process that runs different for each person.
