About the project
This is a project, which addresses the issue of plastic invasion of our communities and households with a purpose to bring the message of a safe and healthy environment closer to the citizens through civic education enabled by land art installation.
Five organizations decided to use their capabilities and expertise to produce a Moodle based e-learning platform with content capable to serve the project needs. The content includes 5 tutorials: info-doc , land art installation centered civic events, digital skills needed to handle the Moodle based platform, socio-civic skills required to shape civic events and dissemination to support the profile and follow-up of the e-learning platform. Each tutorial includes examples of good practice and an evaluation chapter. Anybody using the platform should be able to design a civic event to their own needs.
Activities
All implementation steps lead to a comprehensive intellectual output including 5 developed tutorials, based on the combined expertise of each of the 5 partners, experience exchange and learning new skills. The end product was an educational on-line tool which allows a cascade training system, from staff to facilitators. The grant is requested for staff involvement in the development process, their experience exchange and learning new skills and the preparation of the educational tool for the train the trainer phase after the project.
There were 3 planned project processes including:
- making 5 tutorials which by using 1, more or all, lead to the development of competencies needed by facilitators who work with community groups in civic events;
- mirroring and enhancing the tutorials by installing them on an adapted Moodle e-learning platform;
- having the staff involved in the development of the assessment chapter by designing art installation-centered civic events for the 5 countries, with selected community groups and relying on the adapted Moodle e-learning platform.
There were 2 short-term staff training sessions planned, one in Spain and another in Lithuania. 3 staff members from each country needed workspace, Internet connection, stationary both before and after. Between the two trainings, in 5 months’ time, each partner needed to organize “Facebook” profiles, one info-session and held an on-line session with the ICT trainer to decide community groups for civic actions.
