I would like to improve my inner qualities, think and discuss how to implement active citizenship into education, other related topics and to find out opinions of other foreign colleagues. I expect to meet new people, to hear new opinions, different experiences from difference cultures. I hope that I will learn new attitudes to active citizenship.

I am attracted by the opportunity to learn to look at the complex contemporary issues and processes in a more thorough way and not just at their surface. Today’s world is rich in issues that need a more profound analysis on our part and I believe that after the workshop I will have the knowledge and tools to make such analyses. I hope that the workshop will help me look at things in a new way and will be interesting and stimulating, too.

As a teacher I know that the personal and professional development of every person is very important. Learning should not end up when you finish your studies. It would be great to find out more about new learning styles, new methods, strategies, new ideas, new approaches towards the learning methods.

I'm eager to share views and ideas with other people and think multicultural cooperation is one of the best ways to teach and learn of the surrounding world. I expect to learn a lot on how to see things in different point of view and pick up some new improved ways to keep up my constant hunt for knowledge.

I hope, thanks to this European course, to acquire rewarding experiences from which both my students and myself will be able to take advantage - and be even more efficient to bridge and shrink the digital gap between generations.

I am expressing an interest in the one around me and the things happening in the world widely. I find it important in order for us to be able to handle the problems well in our days. Recognizing the viewpoint of other countries' participants by certain things would be interesting. I believe it so, we will be more successful in our own life if we can be growing efficiently, widely.

I’m very interested in active citizenship and democracy. I’d like to participate in a multinational learning experience to improve my knowledge about. I think it’s important to share personal experiences with people coming from other EU countries, discussing and thinking together it’s the better way to understand the different point of view and to develop new ideas.

At the end of this multinational learning experience I hope to be more aware about our possibilities in the world: cooperation, sharing experiences, democracy. I am trying to be a good citizen, reading about Politics and Economy but I’d like to be more responsible and active in the world because sometimes in everyday life is very difficult. I need a guide.

The approach of this workshop makes possible the enhancement of practical and theoretical knowledge but also gaining skills attached to critical thinking and the opportunity to link with people from other countries and to articulate national interests and develop future projects together.

Ilona BENKO
Romania

I always wished to participate on international camps, conferences, trainings, because I believe this is a great opportunity to get new perspectives. Since many years my basic interest is promoting and developing creative thinking among young adults, so every possibility to get closer to this topic, or to other subjects having a strong connection with creativity, learning or problem solving is a new step to take in order to achieve my goals.

Jason Grant
United Kingdom

The title of the course seems to address some of those critical points, of which I wish to learn some new tools and techniques to initiate debate and discussion for people within my community. I hope to gain an understanding in critical thinking and take away useful tools to share with others, to meet some people who share a common interest in trying to make sense of our new world.
