”Improving Performance through Learning Transfer” is an ERASMUS + KA1 Moblity project, promoted by Asociatia CEDRU – Centrul de Excelenta pentru Dezvoltarea Resurselor Umane (CEDRU – Centre of Excellence for Human Resources Development”) from Craiova, Romania, in partnership with ITC International (an adult education institution for in-service teacher training, established by the Czech Ministry of Education) and Quarter Mediation (an adult education provider based in the Netherlands).
The project responds to CEDRU development strategy focused on developing excellence in lifelong learning, enhancing creativity and innovation, promoting a responsible education and training strategy, focused on equity, social cohesion and active citizenship
All the key staff involved in this project have experience in European projects, active citizenship, entrepreneurship, interactive teaching methods for adults and teenagers, intelligence educational implementation, open source intelligence. There are 4 trainers for adults who participated in 4 different training activities. They have very good team work, communication and relationship skills, managerial experience, good practice in project management. All of them are independent in English, with good ITC skills.
The needs of the participants were established by conducting a rough analysis of the basic professional and personal characteristics of our staff, as well of their working circumstances.
The main activity of the project consists of participation at 4 training activities: ”Encouraging Creative Thinking”, ”Approaching multicultural issues in education”, “Using E-Learning in the classroom” and ”Creativity and innovation in teaching and learning for a better classroom behavior”.
The main trainings objectives are: improving the creative thinking skills; developing the tools and techniques for innovative problem solving; exchanging experiences and cross cultural practices in creativity and innovation; enhance intercultural awareness, and cultural diversity; provide teachers with practical ideas for how they can incorporate technology into their existing lessons; familiarize teachers with current Internet trends and how they can be applied in the creation of an e-lesson and how to create and implement their own e-learning platform.
The topics of the selected individual courses are important specifically to our organization because they bring an important contribution to our human resources development in important field of activity that are strongly connected to our association priorities and targets. We want to send our staff to these courses in order to acquire new knowledge, skills and attitudes that can determine an important change in their activity at CEDRU, in terms of creativity, innovation, initiative and personal commitment. CEDRU is interested to have its own staff trained on different and creative approaches of teaching adults, because of our preoccupation with social cohesion, integration and fear of social disintegration of certain groups, due to social exclusion or lack of participation in the life of the community.
CEDRU selected staff participation in the project has an important impact not only on our organization but also on our town, region and international cooperation, because CEDRU is a part of a local network of organizations which share their learning experiences, in order to multiply and give them added value.
