Grundtvig actions: Workshops

Under the 2012 call

Workshops enable adult learners to participate in learning events and seminars taking place in a European country other than their own.

Workshops bring together individuals or small groups of learners (10-20 people) from several countries for their personal development and learning needs. Learners are also encouraged to share their competences and insights with others. However, workshops are not intended to provide vocational training for professionals.

Workshops are organised on many different topics, including:

• visual arts, music, the environment, creativity, numeracy, mathematics, science, and other topics which are not too heavily dependent on foreign language competence;
• language-learning, particularly for people wishing to build on basic competences (or improve in specialised areas) in the language of the country where the workshop is organised, notably where this is a less widely-used and less taught language;
• discussion groups on issues of common interest across Europe, with a view to stimulating greater interest in European affairs among the adult population;
• active citizenship and intercultural dialogue;
• health education.

How to participate

If you would like to participate in a workshop, please consult the Grundtvig workshops catalogue 2012 (valid until 31/8/2013) and contact the workshop organiser directly.

Under the 2013 call

Under the 2013 Call, the Workshop action provides training to Adult Education staff working on literacy issues exclusively.

The objectives of this action are to give present and future teachers and staff the opportunity to gain a better understanding of the European dimension in teaching adults with literacy problems, to enhance their knowledge of other European countries' education systems and their provision of adult literacy and to improve the specific skills they require to teach literacy skills to adults.

The Workshops bring together professionals working within the field of adult literacy, from several countries, in order to improve their practical teaching, coaching, counseling, management skills, etc.

How to participate

• If you would like to participate in a workshop, please consult the Grundtvig workshops catalogue (to be published in summer 2013) and contact the workshop organiser directly.
• If you like to organise a workshop on literacy issues, please consult the section below "more details", as well as your national agency to whom the participation must be submitted.
