[[File:Empowerment1.png | 100px | left]]Empowerment is the learning and developmental process of raising social, spiritual, economic, and political capacities of individuals or communities. We promote it as a tool to help each individual to act self-responsibly and with a sense of purpose.  We hope to equip individuals with skills, knowledge, and competencies that will promote empathy and a desire to share their influence and power as self-responsible individuals.</div>

[[File:Understanding-groups1.png | left | 150px]]Following the idea of competence-based learning and empowerment, we need to improve the social skills. Since social life is shaped through group and intergroup collaboration, we need to transform our social groups into collectives which encourage peer-involvement-style learning in order to create a new understanding of the role of teachers or trainers as ''facilitators''. This section includes theory aspects on teamwork, group dynamics, communication, diversity and conflict management.

[[File:Group.png | 180px | left]] Personal cooperation is a valuable management tool and can be a learning opportunity for enhancing social skills.

Understanding.png
The general ideas behind Competendo are based on shaping and strengthening individuals’ key competencies. Thanks to key competencies, people can integrate what they’ve learned into their lives as active citizens and agents for social change. In this way, the result of a learning process is not only knowledge, but also practical skills and attitudes. We hope that these competences will help people be better prepared to thrive in complex social situations.
