Description of the course:
Teachers today face quickly-changing expectations and need a broad and sophisticated set of competences with an ability to adapt to different learning environments in order to maintain their high quality teaching. To respond to the changing demands teachers need good support and opportunities for Continuing Professional Development.  For this reason Giovani per l’Europa offers a course on: How to create a successful student in high schools. The course aims to teach effective methods to shape a successful person, who is the one who teaches people to enhance their skills. The course of “How to teach respect, love, help, self-confidence, empathy and peace to the student”, will develop into a series of lessons acts to enhance the methods of communication of the participant, and enhancing working capacity of the participant.  The ultimate goal of the course is to teach how to value the students, in order to enable them to become adults respectful and loving towards others. Teachers must help each student attain their full potential.

Methodology:  In the framework of Erasmus Plus Programme, we are going to develop our courses based in both formal and informal education methodologies. We’ll start with an introduction of the new methodology and also with a theoretical approach. In order to stimulate the active participation of participants we will use dynamic activities, like: study cases; discussions in the classroom with directors of private institutes; role-plays; guidelines, technical visits , training session with volunteers coming from the SVE that took place in Africa .   Coursework will contain a mix of theoretical and practical knowledge. They will practice the necessary skills in order to be able to effectively use their own knowledge learned with their own students.
