COB BUILDING – A Path Towards Volunteering, Environmental Sustainability and a Healthy Lifestyle

Subject area: Environment / sustainable development

Volunteering

Teaching basic skills for adult learners
Working language(s): EN
Target Group + Translation:
Adults interested in volunteering and ecological lifestyle either on the personal or professional level. We will value and welcome any kind of experience in these fields, or in adult education, but this is not a compulsory criterion for selection of participants. A strong motivation and interest in the topics and willingness to invert energy into one’s development and growth will be key points in forming the group of learners. The profile of the learners includes the ability to communicate in English (at least basic level), and the willingness to get engaged in physical work during the cob building activities. There is no age limit set for the participants as we consider that age diversity will bring an added value to the workshop and the learning process.

Main activities Programme + Programme translation:
The workshop will use the cob building methodology and a holistic approach to tackle issues related to environmental sustainability and healthy lifestyle and to develop competences in the field of volunteering. We will use experiential learning and a variety of methods from theoretical inputs, practical workshops, debates, simulations, self awareness and personal development methods, fostering a safe learning space for the participants and empowering them for the involvement in volunteering activities using the competences acquired.
