TRAINING : Aptet Presentation of Module 2

In the framework of the teacher training in Greece, Hana Lőrinczová presented module 2 of the handbook. The chapter is focused on green entrepreneurship. Responsible towards nature as well as towards the community.

Bringing and showing them how to present the selected topics in an inspiring way to the students was our only task and therefore we took it on actively. After the theoretical introduction. Explaining the basic concepts that are essential not only for teachers and students but also for the social entrepreneurs themselves, we got down to the activities.

We conceived the presentation in an interactive way as well as the way of the presentation itself and the subsequent discussion. Teachers tried out the prepared activities in groups. Their task was to find as many green solutions as possible and then to propose a procedure to implement them in practice.

This gave teachers a unique opportunity to take part in the activities and to try and experience the world from a different 'perspective'. They found the activities and their process beneficial and we were able to bring discussion into the previously formal atmosphere.

PREPERING FOR THE TRAINING: Aptet ISP preparing for the training - creating activities

On 29.06.’23 we held a meeting within the Aptet ISP team to prepare activities for the training. We focused on simple activities to not only educate the students but also to develop their social connections and most importantly to inspire them in the field of social entrepreneurship.

We created the activities by brainstorming together to create the most appropriate assignments to inspire the teachers. We have also included different methods of conducting the activity and its possible variations.

The aim of these activities was to provide the teachers participating in the training with the necessary know-how, to show them different ways of conducting non-formal education, along with practical examples, so that they could present the material covered in the handbook to the students in the most creative way possible.

For these activities, the teacher is just a kind of supervisor, guiding the students in the completion and successful understanding of the chosen area.

Activities

1. Answer - question

The first activity, aiming to test the students' knowledge, consists of a very simple example. This will give the students the answer to the question. Their task will be to look for the most precise, specific and explanatory questions. They will then brick them up within the group/class.

The aim of the chosen activity is to test theoretical knowledge and develop creative thinking.

2. Associations

Students form a series of associations on a selected topic with a focus on social entrepreneurship, e.g. soft skills. The activity can be done individually but also in groups, in writing and orally. The students thus form a kind of mind map, which will then help them to build a kind of priority ranking needed to create a successful business plan.

The aim of the chosen activity is to develop creative thinking and compassion for the chosen group, company and clientele.

3. Square

Students are given a sheet of paper on the top of which is a question related to the selected area and on the bottom of which becomes a blank square in which students write or draw answers to the selected question.

The aim of the chosen activity is to develop creative thinking and, in particular, to review the material in an informal way.

The Aptet ISP team thoroughly enjoyed creating and fine-tuning the activities for the training. We tried out all the activities once they were set up and ended this session with a discussion with suggestions for the way forward.

The activities will be presented at the training by Hana Lőrinczová.
