Creating Eastern European Network for Non Formal Adult Education

The active members of adult education organisations from Sweden, Denmark, Lithuania, Russia and Belarus met 2011 November 1-2 in Kaunas Lithuania for the seminar “Creating Eastern European Network for Non Formal Adult Education and Exchanging of Gained Experience”. Totally 15 participants from five countries in different ages and with different background was the perfect base for learning from each other.

Many organizations, in the Eastern part of Europe, are nowadays familiar to the Scandinavian way of the Study Circle method. Very often these organizations have developed the methodology in project cooperation, or in other ways, with SV in Sweden.

Even so, ll these organizations have adopted the methodology in different ways, depending on country culture, different traditions and the present environment for the implementation of the Study circles and other connected Non Formal Education activities. 

We have now indeed noticed a need for future cooperation and for continues exchanging of experience between all of us. Because of that we now invite partners from Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania, Belarus, Sweden, Denmark and Russia to start this exchanging of experience, and we will also discuss if and how to create a useful network in this matter for the future.

During two day of work in Kaunas we have agreed on future cooperation plans, such as exchange useful study plans and study circle guidelines in English that can be used also in other countries and organizations. The international summer camp for study circle leaders is planned for 2012 summer.

Suaugusiųjų švietimo grupės atsiras kalėjime

Socialinių investicijų valdymo centras bendradarbiaudamas su Šiaulių tardymo izoliatoriumi pradėjo kurti praktinio suaugusiųjų švietimo grupes tarp nuteistųjų. Kaip sakė projekto koordinatorė Šiaulių mieste Elona Jasinauskienė: „Turime griauti mus kaustančius stereotipus ir dirbti su visomis grupėmis, kurioms reikalinga švietimo pagalba. Žmonės, kurie yra šuo metu kalėjime dėl praeityje padarytų klaidų dabar aktyviai siekia žinių ir mes norime padėti jiems tai daryti.“
Šiuo metu Šiaulių tardymo izoliatoriuje pradėjo veikti pirmoji praktinio švietimo grupė, kurios tikslas — parengti būsimų nuteistųjų grupių lyderius. Rugpjūčio pabaigoje lankydamiesi Šiaulių tardymo izoliatoriuje Skandinavijoje paplitusį švietimo metodą pristatė Socinvest ekspertai Martynas Norbutas ir Tomas Tomilinas.

Kungalv is a small town north of Geteborg with stunning views on castle and Kings river in the place where old border of Norway and Sweden met. We spent great time in Adult school on a big hill with traditions of many decades. The first evening when we met was sad because of April 10 Polish tragedy... Our first day was dedicated on sharing on local project activities, discussion on adult education policies and immigrant involvement in study circles in Scandinavia. During the second day we were split into 5 groups and visited local SV branches. We saw and experienced real Scandinavian study circles at work! The last day we discussed the next meeting in Oslo (June 5-6) and project evaluation plan.
