Frankly Speaking » Facts, thoughts and experiences in relation to facilitation and speaking
Listening, speaking, discussing and exploring…
We believe that non-formal learning should be a key element of everyone’s education in complementarity to informal learning and formal education. Supporting the continuous progress and advance of non-formal learning is one of our aims, and we encourage and assist processes facilitating this development whenever and wherever we can.
A key aspect of our work is the facilitation of debates, discussions and discourses. We have wide ranging experience in facilitating processes of different lengths, intensity and approaches involving policy-makers, researchers and education practitioners. Recent experiences include an international seminar of youth researchers on human rights, diversity and participation and a conference on human rights education in European metropolitan areas.
Another important element of our community work is to present, speak and discuss about non-formal education and our experiences with organising non-formal learning processes. Our recent speaking engagements included a panel debate on youth political participation at the very exciting Youth Media Days, a gathering of 600 young journalists in the German Parliament premises, and a lecture on chaos management in youth work addressed to an international audience of social and street workers.
