ROUND TABLE FOR TEACHERS SHORT PRESENTATION Issue of discussion : Why is non-formal education and informal learning important to us ( as teachers of 4th High School). Non-formal education at its best is creating knowledge, skills and attitude- rather than swallowing readymade facts and opinions without evaluation. School students develop the skills vital to active citizenship and successful employment including; teamwork, democratic practice or foreign language skills. With Europe increasingly competing on a global scale, our education must enable all young people to take up the skills for a changing work place. In the last decade, youth unemployment in the EU was around double that of the total population. Once youth are placed into employment, they are now expected to have numerous jobs in their lifetimes. This means that alongside traditional knowledge based education, we must provide our students with the skills of adaptability, initiative and critical reflection that can only come through non formal education. The school building is vital to enabling NFE to take place and must be used as open spaces that act as resource centers for young people to take part in NFE and informal learning. A sense of ownership must be created to allow school students to initiate projects. Funding must be available that school students can apply for directly and use to initiate NFE and IL experiences. School students and young people have to take control of their learning using NFE methods.

ROUND TABLE FOR TEACHERS SHORT PRESENTATION Teachers and staff must be trained to enable (not teach!) non-formal education. The importance of teachers in encouraging informal learning is paramount. Teachers must create lessons that are ready for questioning, new ideas and that provoke thoughts that continue informally outside of the classroom. Informal discussion should be encouraged and teachers should become actively involved in after school clubs and be available to students throughout the day. In order for this to happen, funding must be made available, so that teachers are able to use their time in the implementation of NFE . Greece now days is in the middle of a tremendous financial crisis so teachers in schools do their best to continue their job in the worst circumstances there ever had, they try to persuade students to love learning, in a society that corrupts every day by suicides, poverty and desperate in peoples eyes.

ROUND TABLE FOR TEACHERS SHORT PRESENTATION We decided that 1: Student groups should be able to book school rooms for their own use at times suitable for them 2: Teachers must be given full initial training and continuous professional development in how to enable NFE. 3.Teachers must be paid for any time they spend initiating or coordinating NFE opportunities. This must be timetabled into their workload. 4. Schools and formal education environments must be spaces where all young people feel physically, emotionally and intellectually safe.

ROUND TABLE FOR TEACHERS SHORT PRESENTATION CONCLUSION Non-formal education is an integral part of the learning experience; here we learn skills not only vital for employability but also to flourish in the general society- democracy, social skills, responsibility. In the 21st century, young people must leave formal education with a love of learning. We must create Lifelong learners, who expect new and different educational opportunities throughout their lifetimes. Encouraging and enabling NFE from a young age is the best way we can do this . We believe that the benefit and power of non-formal education and informal learning is onus on student participation and leadership. Education must create this as an organic process, where students are encouraged to organize themselves and create new opportunities.
