Description

By implementing SKOCKANO project partners aim to influence sector challenges: insufficient and uneven knowledge and skills of CSOs and rare or unsystematic education of civil society for providing non-formal education (NFE); insufficient competencies for e-learning; uneven quality of provided NFE and lack of clear quality criteria and standards; spread of anti-constitutional values; inadequate recognition of FFE in RoC; fluctuation of workers in CSOs resulting in loss of knowledge and skills in NFE area. We will contribute to our general goal: To increase the influence of CSOs in NFE area through sustainable quality assurance system (QAS), capacity building, firming of sectoral and intersectoral cooperation and increase of visibility –by reaching of specific goals; SG1 Establishing of quality standard for CSOs NFE activities; SG2 Strengthen the capacities for NFE implementation, QAS application and increasing of work quality of SCOs in NFE; SG3 Improve the framework and environment for activity of CSOs providing NFE through promotion of quality NFE and strengthening of sectoral and intersectoral cooperation.  Longterm, the SKOCKANO project, through strengthening the sector and the quality of the NFE programs, contributes to empowering active citizens to engage in creating a fairer and a more sustainable society.  In order to assure a higher quality, adoption and widespread use of project results we will include key stakeholders in activities implementation. Those are: CSOs that provide NFE, schools, local and regional administration units, relevant institutions, and citizens. Implementation of creation and application activities of QAS in area of NFE will result in an increase of civic sector sustainability in area of providing NFE.
