Уважаеми колеги и приятели,
Имаме удоволствие да ви поканим да вземете участие в събитие "Палитра с добри образователни практики", организирано от Сдружение „Знам и Мога“, представящо добри образователни практики създадени по Европейски програми и възможности за професионално развитие. По време на събитието ще бъдат представени проекти, финансирани с подкрепата на Европейската Комисия в сферата на образованието, в които участва Сдружение „Знам и Мога“, както и проекти на участниците в събитието:
From 16th to 20th September, a training on the SMIIM project was held in Athens.
During the training, decisions were made to change the content and format of the platform so that it could cover a wider target group. In addition to translators, the platform will conveniently assist cultural and social mediators in the near future, with content and test exercises added to this end.
Attendees shared their impressions of their sessions held in the partners coutries, with comments about the process, challenges faced and feedback from them.
There are 23 official languages, 60 dialects and many other languages spoken by migrants and asylum seekers in Europe. This diversity brings a cultural richness but at the same time potential barriers for speakers who are not fluent in the language of the country where they are living.
The work on project Skills to Maximise Inclusion through Interpreting and Mediation (SMIIM) continues.
Over a period of two years (2017-2019), Community Action Dacorum will lead a partnership involving NGOs and other non-profit organisations in six European countries, utilising the partners' skills to produce training materials to support interpreters who find themselves at the forefront of problems involving social isolation among migrants.
A training course was held from October 31st to November 4th 2016 in Sofia, Bulgaria. The course was dedicated to organization of trainings and skills every educator and trainer should have. The course was carried out by 3 trainers from Know and Can Association. 10 civil servants from Middle Black Sea Development Agency- OKA (Samsun, Turkey) took part in it. The training was a part from project OKA is Empowering the Adult Education Team which is financed by Erasmus+ Programme, Key Action 1. The training was made up by lectures, seminars, workshops, discussions and games.
