Workshop on development of content and methodology of training courses

The DEPOCEI Workshop on development of content and methodology of training courses was held on April 7-11, 2014 at the host institution Instituto Politécnico de Leiria, Portugal. It was opened by Mr.Ilija Vujacic, Dean of the Faculty of Political Sciences (BU), Ms. Vesna Knezevic-Predic (BU), Consortium Team Leader and Mr. Eugenio Lukas (IPL); IPL Dean.

Based on the outcomes of the Podgorica workshop (February, 2014) the NISPAcee team developed a draft of the training manual prior to the Leiria meeting. It was distributed to all DEPOCEI project partners with a request for their feedback. The NISPAcee trainers, Mr. Gyorgy Gajduschek from Hungary and Mr. Alfredas Chmieliauskas from Lithuania, introduced the developed manual in more detail during this workshop and discussed it with workshop participants. They received only positive feedback and the developed manual was approved for finalisation.

During the workshop, the teams of the individual modules analysed their training packages and developed the training programmes and materials. All designed modules were presented to, and discussed with, the entire auditorium.

The workshop began and ended with a DEPOCEI Steering Committee meeting, where participation included Ms. Elena Zakova, NISPAcee Project Manager and DEPOCEI Steering Committee member.
