PROJECT
FINISHED
The project is set in the context of non-formal education for young people. It builds on the experiences of a Grundtvig Partnership Project “Mainstreaming Peace Education - Approaches, Methodologies, and Visions”.
The project’s main aim is to build a Competence Framework for Peace Education in youth work.
Specific project objectives include:
- developing a competence framework including knowledge, skills and attitudes require, evaluation indicators, assessment methods as well as educational guidelines for achieving the competences
- increasing the recognition of peace education by linking the framework with the Youthpass and Europass certification system
- increasing the quality of peace education activities in the youth sector
Project activities include:
- Research on Peace Education Competence Framework in five European countries
- Six transnational project meetings for the Competence Framework researchers (two in the United Kingdom and one in Germany, Netherlands, Turkey and Latvia)
- Publication of the Competence Framework with educational guidelines (Intellectual output)
- Two Test Training Courses for youth workers and peace educators to test the Framework (Learning/teaching/training)
- Five national multiplier events in five European countries (United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, Turkey and Latvia)
- Final international multiplier event in the United Kingdom
The project will result in the publication of a Peace Education Competence Framework, its dissemination among European youth work organisations as well as establishing a clear link between peace education and recognition of non-formal learning (Key Competences - Youthpass) as well as increased transparency of qualifications for European citizens (Europass).
Long-term benefits of the project include increased quality of non-formal educational projects in the field of peace education, increased recognition of non-formal learning in general and mainstreaming of peace education activities in youth work.
The project will be realized in partnership of five non-governmental organisations from the United Kingdom (ASHA), Germany (EIF), Latvia (HPPL), the Netherlands (UNOY), and Turkey (Habitat) for 24 months between September 2014 and September 2016.
