Is the intergenerational approach important for the adult education and in the business trainings? Should it be implemented it in VET trainings and how? What kind of training materials have to be used for this purpose?
These were the main issues that were discussed during the ECIL pilot training in Sofia. In the training were involved 12 experts from various fields of adult education – vocational training centers , universities and training centers to big enterprises, freelance trainers , teachers in centers for foreign languages. As the topic is not well known in the country , Beth Johnson Foundation supported us by sending their representative – Ms. McKever , trainer with extensive experience in the field of IG education who realized the training. Except the exchanged information on existing good practice in IG learning, as an especially useful part of trainings we should mention the development of new ideas about different IG projects prepared by the participants. Beth Johnson Foundation delivered to all project partners IG training materials. The participants gave their opinion about applicability in the environment in which they conduct trainings, as well as some valuable tips that will help to adapt these materials to the requirements set out in the ECIL project proposal.
