National SMILE-Training “Participatory Methods for Shaping our Realities”

National SMILE-Training “Participatory Methods for Shaping our Realities”

Belgrade, June 2006. This seminar was different to previous ones held within the SMILE-Project (Seeding for Mulitiethnic and Intercultural Learning Experiences), since the 15 participants were sent only by Serbian organizations and institutions. The group of participants varied in age and professional background, which was intended in order to support learning by mutual exchange. The aim of the training was to introduce pedagogues and andragogues to the participative methods: Future Workshop, Open Space Technology and World Café, which the participants practiced based on subjects regarding education in Serbia.  The participants contributed in an active and creative way to the seminar and were ready to discuss. The training was presented by Tamara Nikolić Maksić and Marijana Todorović, both associates of the Adult Education Society.
