The group was made of 16 participants coming from Italy, UK, Portugal and Lithuania, 4 EVS from the hosting organizations, 2 trainers, a local facilitators and a photographer.
We used experiential learning a lot, as the group was supposed to develop his own activities to be applied at local level. The workshop were interactive and based on learning by doing, involving creativity, group work, simulation, debate, presentation, performances, street actions, reflections.
The group created 3 different workshop which were tested on the street on Agueda, to be then adjusted and applied in the pension houses of the local communities involved by participants.
I was the main trainer of the project, I designed the activity flow in cooperation with a co-trainer that supported the learning process of the group.
