Non-formal Training
We specialize in delivering interactive and innovative learning solutions, including online courses, workshops, and public lectures.
Our projects
Our collaborations with partners across the EU have resulted in programs that enhance digital skills, psychological resilience, and leadership capabilities. Through our partnership network, we ensure that our programs have a broad and inclusive impact on communities across Europe.
Combating Online Misinformation to Prevent Radicalisation of Vulnerable Adults
- Our non-formal learning program for adult educators is tailored to build digital media competences and critical thinking of vulnerable adults
- Toolkit “How to Combat Disinformation” with interactive resources (AI chatbot and online game) to strengthen critical thinking
- Online workshops and symposium will enhance understanding of persuasion techniques, cognitive biases, and emotional manipulation
Online Safety: Protecting Teenagers from Antisocial Behaviour on Social Media
- This Erasmus+ initiative empowers teenagers with essential skills to navigate social media safely and responsibly.
- Our project responds to the increasing risks young people face online, aiming to raise awareness about the impact of antisocial behaviors—such as cyberbullying—on mental health.
- Through engaging training, we equip teenagers with social media literacy, emotional regulation, and empathy skills. We support youth leaders, educators, and social workers with a comprehensive educational program and foster an EU-wide professional network to sustain this mission long-term. Together, we’re building a safer digital space for teenagers across Europe.
Wayfinding: Participatory workshops for Ukrainian refugees
- Developed and implemented participatory workshops for displaced Ukrainian people to build their resilience and support their integration in the EU.
- Facilitated the creation of self-support groups and community support for displaced people.
- Developed the non-formal training program and manual for adult educators and volunteers working with displaced people.
Building green skills for circular economy
- The project addressed the urgent need for innovative educational tools to support the transition towards a circular economy.
- The online course Green Skills for Circular Economy focused on Using, Sharing, Reusing, Repairing, Recycling, and Up-cycling products and materials.
- The course attracted over one thousand learners and received the 2023 Grundtvig Award for green transition best practices.
Empowering adult educators to support resilience of refugees
- The project has developed a non-formal educational program to increase the psychological literacy of social workers and adult educators working with refugees.
- The program is focused on didactic tools that adult educators without specific psychological education can use to help refugees in sharing and working through their painful war experiences in a safe and empathetic environment, co-develop their coping strategies and increase their mental strength and resilience.
Back to normal: Together for health and well-being
- The project addressed the long-term physical and psychological effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly among vulnerable groups such as young adults and senior citizens.
- The storytelling methodology developed during the project became a powerful tool for participants to reflect on their experiences during the pandemic.
- By telling their stories, participants were able to organize their thoughts, share their feelings, and find meaning in their experiences of loss and disruption.
Digital Storytelling Skills for Sustainable Social Enterprises
- In the face of global challenges such as climate change, transitioning from a linear to a circular economy is crucial. Social enterprises, often operating in sectors such as sustainable agriculture, eco-friendly tourism, upcycling, and repair services, play an important role in fostering these changes.
- However, social enterprises face significant competition from larger corporations, and many lack the skills to communicate their mission and impact effectively.
- This project focuses on equipping these enterprises with digital storytelling skills to amplify their social mission and attract more support from stakeholders.
- By improving their communication skills, these enterprises will be better equipped to scale their social and environmental impact across borders, contributing to a transition towards a circular economy.
