UNIC Lifelong Learning Workshop Series, Workshop 5: Kids4Alll – Strategies for Lifelong Learning

9 Feb 2023

Workshop 5 of the Lifelong Learning Series is an online workshop exploring the integration of migrant children in education. The workshop is aimed at anyone involved in Lifelong Learning. However, it may be of specific interest to anyone involved in the education and training of teachers who work with a multi-cultural and refugee population of migrant children.

Key Inclusive Development Strategies for Lifelong Learning, or KIDS4ALLL, aims to implement a pilot action that will experiment a learning method and learning environment in formal, non-formal, and informal educational contexts to address the integration challenges of migrant children. The project contents involve activities to develop guidelines that allow teachers/ educators to hold and/or adopt or integrate training material into their practice.

It also aims to design and develop an online platform including the latest technologies, including tools and plug-ins that will encourage teachers, students and parents to explore content and create new interactions.

In terms of capacity development, the training for facilitators will be designed to enable students and educators to understand, value and promote the learning method and environment and elaborate proposals on how to integrate the platform into curricula and how the “creative corner” can be implemented didactically, and how teachers and trainers can be trained on the institutional level.
