Gecko Programmes has recently secured Erasmus+ funding to send to Italy, Spain and Cyprus professionals involved in delivering adult education services across the West Midlands.

In delivering this project, we are seeking to have an impact upon our own organisation, our Adult Education tutors, and the organisations in the UK with whom we collaborate, to:
  • increase our capacity to operate at an EU level
  • improve the way we operate with the target groups, including refugee/migrant learners
  • enhance our professional environment
  • modernise and internationalise the curriculum
  • contribute to meeting EDP and IES goals
  • participate in structured training courses, focusing upon:
   * working with refugees and asylum seekers
   * learning in a multicultural setting
   * topics of entrepreneurship, ICT and creativity
The project aims to develop 20 UK staff in our own organisation and in those organisations with whom we collaborate to deliver Adult Education.

Our target groups are: 
  • experienced teachers/trainers, building professional competence in a European setting
  • less experienced teachers/trainers, seeking to gain professional competence
  • inexperienced teachers (currently in a support role) seeking to gain EU learning outcomes, and planning professional development
  • non-formal education project leaders
  • community project principals & directors
  • local NGO leaders

General learning outcomes, integral to all courses, will be:
  • Identifying personal objectives
  • Preparing participants for implementing course content in their own classrooms  
  • Providing opportunities for participants to reflect on their own practice    
  • Action plan the changes and improvements to implement on return to the UK 

Courses  will also develop teachers/trainers' key competences
  • Enhance participants’ skills to develop their learners’ digital skills and literacy       
  • Provide a technological toolkit for educators and improve the level of key competences and ICT skills       
  • Access a variety of on-line resources to promote good practice in education in a European context
  • Gain in-depth knowledge of best practices & policies at school for integrating minorities, migrants and refugees’ children

At the end of the project, all participants will be provided with a Europass Mobility Document, that details the learning outcomes achieved, that will be drawn from the declared learning aims of each short structured course. Where these learning outcomes can be mapped to any or all of the three units of the UK Award in Education and Training, participants will be issued with an ECVET Learning Agreement that shows how the outcomes were attained and evidenced - contributing to the evidence base for the eventual attainment of the UK Award. All participants will be encouraged to document their complete attainments with the use of the Europass CV.

Funding:
The Erasmus+ funding will cover the costs of the course, travel, accommodation and a subsistence allowance.
