Learning Lab(oratory) Training Course (30.03-6.04.2022, Poland)
März 30, 2022 - April 6, 2022

Learning Lab(oratory): quality non-formal education in the digital world
The idea
With the Learning Lab(oratory) project, we aim to improve the quality of non-formal and informal learning aspects of volunteering activities in our organisations, in both physical and online formats. We are a partnership of 9 organisations: SCI Austria, CVS Bulgaria, SCI Belgium, SCI Germany, CID North Macedonia, SCI Poland, Para Onde? Portugal, VCV Serbia, Zavod Voluntariat – SCI Slovenia. Why do we do it?- we all want to maintain a high quality of our non-formal activities (workshops, webinars, workcamps…);
- for this, we need to ensure constant training of less experienced volunteers and activists;
- our organisations are learning how to adapt to the new world of digital education and volunteering;
- we want to better include persons with fewer opportunities in our activities – also through the new online formats.
The activities
The project has 5 main components:- Learning Lab(oratory) Training Course (30.03-6.04.2022, Poland) on organising and running high-quality learning activities in both in-person and online environments.
- Three thematic webinars (4-6.2022) on inclusion, digital learning and impact measurement.
- Learning Lab(oratory) Pro Training Course (7-14.07.2022, Bulgaria) – getting more in-depth on the topics of inclusion and new tools and trends in learning and development.
- Practice time (4-9.2022) – organising learning activities on a local level.
- Publishing resources for educators (9-10.2022) – Facilitator’s Cards and Infographic for Inclusion.

The resources
We are working on 2 resources for educators and volunteer coordinators that will support high-quality, inclusive learning processes in your projects.- Facilitator’s Cards – a checklist on how to organise a good learning process. They will include important/key aspects of organising any learning process (from needs analysis to concrete activities and evaluation). Each card will tackle a different step of the process. There will be some useful information on the card topic, and a possibility to write personal notes. The cards will be laminated and envisaged for multiple usage thanks to the wet-erasable technology used.
- Infographic on Inclusion – it will tackle the topic of how to make our non-formal learning activities more inclusive. It will collect and summarize the practical information and tips & tricks shared during the project activities and will give specific advice on how to equally include participants with fewer opportunities.
