Methodology & assessment

Methodology is based on theoretical lessons and presentations of examples of good practice as well as discussions and experience comparisons. Participants will learn about the theoretical movement and political interest for social vulnerability, about the need for “vulnerable learners” to get emancipated and about the best ways for them to be educated in order to move from the margins of society. Other tools used will consist of project work, role play, laboratory practice, use of new technologies, reflection and evaluation. Assessment is carried out by the course trainer on a day to day basis and the learning outcomes are recorded on the Europass Mobility Document on request.
