1 GRUNDTVIG FORWARD Workshop methodologies

2 TARGET GROUP Choosing correctly the target group is the first step for the success of a practical workshop on citizenship.In our social context it is important to involve whole family groups.Working within a school gives us a serious advantage to involve families( children attending schools,their parents and grandparents). All this work is possible only involving the teachers who are a reference for the families in the surrounding territory. Of course the audience is mostly female as mothers and grandmothers are more sensible and more involved in themes such as education and improvement of their childen and the place they live in.

3 THE TRAINERS Another step is the choice of the trainers. Usually referent teachers and the collaborating psychologists are the main trainers of our workshops. In particular workshops some of the trainers were our students who, opportunely trained, leaded the workshops in an upside down of the roles among different generations.
