Approach
The course is experiential and strongly based on Paolo Freire’s participatory education. We follow the principles of dialogue - speaking with your authentic voice, listening, suspending judgement and respecting all. We are all participating and engaging as we think and work together.
Duration
The programme takes approximately 15 hours. The delivery can be arranged to suit the group e.g. 2 long days, 4 half days or another suitable combination.
Cost
The costs incurred to take part in the training will include training manuals, any required printing or photocopying, as well as any travel and mileage expenses incurred by the course facilitator. Please contact us at vote@dalc.ie if training budget is an issue.
Who is the course for?
- Adult education students at all levels who have a good level of spoken English.
- Adult education tutors and community workers can learn to deliver it with their own groups.
- Anyone who works in the community that is interested in voter engagement and active participation.
Community of Practice
We offer continual support to those who are delivering our programme, some of which takes place on Zoom.
