Four free online training courses on four important topics for young people’s growth.
To face an evolving future, we must have the skills that allow us to adapt and interact with the changes that technological progress is unfolding for boys and girls.
The courses are structured as highly interactive synchronous workshops, with guided exercises and laboratory activities to be completed together in real time. Therefore, live attendance is recommended, given the participation modality; simply watching the recording would not have the same learning impact.
The courses are valid for in-service teacher training. For information on certificates and to view recordings, please visit www.europole.org/faq
