Bilateral cooperation results
The partner Newschool Norway, an educational design agency, organized and conducted an online training course on inclusive and vocational education. Eighteen representatives from the Lead Partner and other project partners participated, including school directors, teachers, school counselors, and psychologists. During the five days of training, they explored educational techniques specific to the Norwegian model, applicable in Romanian schools, as well as experimental learning methods for personal development and group cohesion among teachers. Guided by the Newschool Norway trainer, participants had the opportunity to explore together how to facilitate creative exercises that enhance children's motivation and inspire creativity. A brochure containing Norwegian vocational education methods was also created and published online.
