==Empowerment for Active Citizenship==
 
Our mission is to build a bridge between theoretical dimension (competency concept and validation frameworks), societal impact (socio-political dimension) and the concrete working fields of actors in formal and non-formal education (field dimension). We want to make concrete methodology accessible, help during planning trainings and empowerment programs and target as well facilitators and educators that have less experience or are less involved in the European and national discourses on non-formal education, didactical principles or identification of competency development. We believe, that innovative competency centered education is following a bottom-up approach. Change starts with empowering facilitators.

The success of competency-centered education is highly depending from the style of facilitation and the attitude of facilitators. Professionality is in this sense the challenge to connect

The Competendo team is offering tailor-made concepts.

Teaser-competendo-big.png
Competendo is committed to developing contempary learning opportunities for civic competences and empowerment. The toolbox offers and shares experience, methods and inspiration for active citizenship-related learning and empowerment in communities, schools, or non-formal learning spaces, in organizations, universities or initiatives.



Empowerment for Active Citizenship

Our mission is to build a bridge between the theoretical dimension (competences, models), societal relevant issues and developments (socio-political dimension) and the concrete working fields of actors in formal and non-formal education (field dimension).

We want to make concrete methodology accessible, disseminate good practice and especially make an offer to those who are growing into the role of facilitator or who are less involved in the European and national professional discourse of civic and non-formal education.

We want to promote the innovative potential of civic education and democracy learning that strengthens participation from civil society from the bottom up. Because civic education and democracy learning happen in the midst of social life, we are committed to the exchange and collaboration of nongovernmental organizations, informal groups, civil society networks, and formal educational institutions toward this goal.
