Methodology and calendar of the course
The course will be designed to give participants the opportunity to experience and reflect upon activities and concepts central to diversity, based on experiental learning approaches. It will be run in a mutual learning situation, where participants can compare their approaches and experiences to training on diversity with minority groups across Europe.
Interventions from experts will help setting the theoretical framework for the course. A diversity of working methods will be used, the starting point of the course being participants' experiences as trainers. The preparation of the course by the participants may include tools for self-evaluation and personal preparation which will be used by the trainers when finalising and designing the programme of the course. Internet-based tools may also be proposed to this end.
