Summary of project results

In today''s society, the educational service for adults and students should be reconsidered, diversified and internationalised in order to efficiently address the different needs they have in learning, in order to avoid building up non-democratic, conflictual and discriminatory working and learning environments. Teacher training centres need to be connected to and integrated in international networks, to adjust to free market economy characteristics, to reconfigure the organisational culture of their institutions by promoting professional competence, ethical values, peace, tolerance, valuing diversity and integrity. The project involved six learning mobilities, that is 6 trainers from The Teachers Training Centre of Bistrița-Năsăud County (also teachers in BN schools) took part in learning/ training events organised by three Norwegian partners (a structured training course and study visit organised by THE EUROPEAN WERGELAND CENTRE (EWC), Oslo, a seminar  at MENNESKERETTIGHETSAKADEMIET /HUMAN RIGHTS ACADEMY, Oslo and a job shadowing activity at BRAINOBRAIN NORWAY AS, Bergen). The transfer of new knowledge to the school actors as well as to other actors in the local, regional and county community has been achieved through nine local follow up activites (a Logo competition supported by Tricider platform, two workshops, a round table meeting, two participatory workshops, a treasure hunt, a training event on how to use Kahoot and Padlet in education, an event of democratic schools connected through Kahoot, quizzes on democracy and human rights, an international symposium, a 24 hours training course on The Democratic School and its deliverance for free to 3 groups of 77 teachers in the county). Beyond the personal results for the direct and indirect participants to the project activities, we also recorded some tangible results which can be quantified such as: a Good Practice Guide, bearing ISBN registration, a collection of specialty articles from the D.I.D. Symposium, a project blog and a Facebook page, a communication and dissemination plan, which is, in fact, the foundation for the implementation of the project communication, dissemination and results exploitation strategy.
