Activity: Training of
trainers for university teachers
Date: June 16-20, 2014
Venue: Nis, Serbia
A training of trainers for future Western Balkan trainers was held on
June 16-20, 2014 at the host institution, the Law Faculty, University of Nis,
Serbia.
The programme agenda was developed by NISPAcee trainers Mr. Alfredas
Chmieliauskas from Lithuania and Mr. Gyorgy Gajduschek from Hungary. The
training was led by NISPAcee in cooperation with Mr. Vladimir Pavlovic from the
Belgrade Open School.
The programme was divided into several parts. In the framework of the Introduction,
the ToT goals and objectives were introduced, together with the training manual
developed by NISPAcee experts during the previous project phase. After the Introductory
part, simulation training on Module 0 was carried out. Mr. Alfredas
Chmieliauskas simulated training on the selected topic of Module 0, with the
aim of showing different training methods and techniques to the participants – i.e.
future trainers.
On the second day, participants created groups based on the module that
they will lead in the future. During the group work, participants discussed the
training methods that they plan to use in the training programme of the
selected module. In the next part, the module representatives presented their
designed training programmes and identified and explained the planned training
methods. The most useful part was the open discussions which followed, on their
questions regarding the methodology to be applied in their respective programmes.
On the last day, the trainers introduced participants the tips and tricks
on how to design a training programme and use training methods in praxis and exchange experiences in
using the different training methods. The participants will have their
first possibility to test their new skills in the autumn when they will lead
the pilot training on all modules.
