MOSAIC OF COMMUNICATION (MOC)

Six-day course in Kaunas, Lithuania

  • Effective communication and multilingualism
  • Inclusion, immigration and language
  • Communication competence
  • Craft of mosaic making

We can observe a colour and a shape of a single piece, but only assembled pieces reveal a meaningful message thus achieving effective communication and inclusion.

This adds a deeper level of experience – understanding the needs for communication, dignity, integration from the point of view of a disabled person. The idea of the course expands over the multilingual and multicultural communication competence into holistic approach of integration through communication.

LEARNING THROUGH EXPERIENCE COURSES IN GUADELOUPE, FRANCE

Taking the course beyond Europe broadens our understanding of the world, its problems and possible solutions since we explore inter-connectedness at first-hand. Experiencing the cultural, geographical, natural and economical diversity of European Union, especially in its remote areas, brings enormous added value to school projects and Erasmus+ programme itself.


TEACHERS FIRST!

Eight-day course in Guadeloupe, France

  • Explore personal and professional values
  • Experience various distress techniques

We invite educators to stop for a moment and re-discover their passion for teaching and life. The course helps teachers to explore tools and methods for stress management, well-being and resilience.
