From the beginning of the seminar, there was a clear interest in becoming involved in the project and benefiting from the service that the project will build, especially from the participants that represent directly the target group – the Romanian Training Institute – IRT.
This gave the possibility to better emphasize that all education facilitators (teachers, trainers) and anyone who needs guidance on a specific pedagogical aspect/ skill development, can access this service, whether they have an accreditation as a trainer of education facilitator or not.
Moreover, it was underlined the fact that the service is focused on addressing all types of learning facilitators from all fields of activity, as it is a service who’s purpose is to develop skills and not content.
On the level of the research, the discussion was opened by World Vision Romania, starting from the need to identify the relevance and the promptitude of the feedback that a trainer receives after completing the course.
