Learning4Life
The
subtitle for the Learning4Life Association means a society that does
not understand the process of education as a one-way activity, as an
avalanche of facts streaming from the educator to the trainee.
For us, "learning organisation" means a group of people who are happy to provide and receive education regardless of age, occupation, sex or experience. The Learning4Life Association supports people who do not want to come to terms with the fact that the curriculum simply has to be learned by heart and school attendance "survived".
Self-paced training enables and supports the development of corresponding personal abilities and social skills. This form of training also strengthens self-confidence and helps improve the skills necessary to act in an emancipated and self-confident way in a social and working environment. Especially those target groups who have little relationship to or experience with learning – and these are the primary target groups of this project – often feel failure, burden and frustration because they have not experienced the process of learning as something useful or valuable regarding their lives. This fact can be used as a starting point for our work with our clients and to focus on their interests and views. The objective is to activate our clients' skills, help develop their personal perspectives and to support their own methodological, social and personal skills as tools for self-control. Self-paced training puts the responsibility for learning into the hands of the trainees themselves. The trainees also participate actively in creating the curricula as well as the training process, thus developing a personal relationship to them. If the trainees are supported and included into their training by their trainers, the process of learning can become valuable and permanent experience. |
