The training programme is aimed at increasing motivation competences of teachers and staff in adult education. The training programme contains effective motivational strategies and tools for interacting with adult learners, including the use of digital tools and social media to increase learner participation and engagement. The training programme uses the blended learning approach and comprises 60 hours, with 30 hours of instruction being carried out face-to-face and 30 hours in an online environment. A minimum of 14 adult education staff members (7 educators and 7 nonteaching staff members) from each partner country will complete the training.
The online platform contains activities and tools in English and the other five languages aimed at supporting adult education staff and teachers participating in the training programme. The activities and tools on the platform are available for self-directed learning for any adult education staff and teachers that need to develop competences of motivating, engaging, and supporting adults in learning. The platform provides a space for adult education professionals across Europe to exchange ideas and practices, share their experiences, and ask for advice.
