It's a specific approach in adult education developed within an Erasmus cooperation project based on realizing the importance of your own experience. It's used in groups of learners or educators which start discussing and consulting between peers. Afterwards the educator slightly enters in the discussion giving feedback. The method is based on four foundational principles: psychological safety, equality, mutual support, and growth mindset. The application of these principles allows to create a safe space for learning and enable the group of learners to feel safe and trusting enough to share experiences and discuss problems that may tackle traumatic past references. Part of the information about participants is provided by job centers, another part results from the participation of peers in the workshop. The GP deals with the following diversity types (with regard to Erasmus+ priorities): Learners with disabilities, Barriers linked to discrimination. The methodology can be applied in whatever context. |
