Training course is dedicated to the people working with adults or wishing to start their work with adults or working in the field of art education. TC will also be a good start for volunteers preparing actions for adults (especially seniors), especially in the field of art education. This is NOT the course about ART itself. The main goal of the whole project is to create a mobile tool for art educators and adults.
During our TC we’ll create, with support of the educator and invited experts, the whole learning process for adults in the field of art education on the basic level. We’ll also create some courses for the e-learning webpage. After the meeting, all participants will be obliged to make the workshops in their local adults/seniors community and send the photos with participants lists to the hosting NGO.
