EUFACINET - European Facilitators Network
Aim
The general aim of the project is to achieve a pool of competence facilitators of workplace learning assisted and strengthened by a support system of resources and networks. Therefore the EUFACINET Project aims at building on the results of COMPSERV SME Project and other projects, to transfer and supplement the materials produced in COMPSERV SME to other national and setoral contexts.
The project aims at supporting the transfer of a new professional profile for facilitators of training addressing directly SMEs, by further developing and testing a package of methodology and instruments for facilitators of learning processes, more adequate to lifelong learning processes; at providing an electronic resource platform for European Facilitators of workplace learning within SMEs and at initiating a European Community of Practice of Facilitators.
Specific aims
- To complement the state of the art represented by the results of the COMPSERV SME project with 2 new modules for facilitators: a module covering competence assessment and validation and another module covering evaluation of learning outcomes;
- To expand the materials developed in COMPSERV SME by integrating relevant experiences and materials from other Leonardo da Vinci and Art.6 ESF projects;
- To create a resource pool which will be the core of an electronic platform for facilitators comprising material, best practices and a pool of links to other relevant information;
- To build up a Community of Practice of Facilitators in Europe with the users of the platform as the core group;
- To expand the testing of the facilitation guidelines, as well as new material by a bigger set of facilitators to a work-learning in-company test;
- To monitor and evaluate the activities of the project and to elaborate an evaluation report;
- To promote the dissemination and valorisation of the project results in all countries involved in the partnership through tailor-made approaches especially towards the stakeholders, as well as towards other European end-users interested on the project.
