Coaching: A Powerful Tool

Course summary

Porto, Portugal

6-day Course

Erasmus+ KA1

We are living in a new age. Fast-changing technology has led to a free flow of information, creating a huge challenge for educators to understand the needs, interests and capabilities of the youth of today.

Reducing early school leaving is one of the priorities of the Europe 2020 Strategic framework for Education and Training, as well as Erasmus +. This course will introduce participants to the Grow coaching techniques along with emotional freedom techniques. Aggressive behavior and bullying inside and outside the classroom will be analysed as well. 

Participants will learn how to manage and reduce stress levels, thereby improving not only their overall health but also their day to day interaction with students and colleagues (by applying communication techniques in order to reduce early school dropouts). 

Well-trained teachers can better meet students’ learning expectations.

Objectives: The main goal of the course is to create trust, motivate and empower teams. We need to empower positive values even if the conditions are not ideal, even if we have to deal with cultural diversity and differences in values. It’s about managing techniques and how to use them for you and your organization’s benefit. 

By the end of the course participants will have a substantial understanding of the coaching framework and its models. They will develop core coaching skills, including observation process, feedback, questioning, listening, raising awareness, establishing and maintaining an authentic relationship.

Course Duration and Costs

All costs can be supported with a KA grant under the Erasmus+ programme.

For a 6-day course, Learning Together charges 580 euros per participant (A+B).

For our 6-day course, the course fee is 480 EUR per participant, for tuition and materials (6-day course x 80,00 EUR per day). This can be covered with the course fee that you receive with your KA1 grant: 80 EUR / day / person.

Notice:

The course fee for our courses has been adjusted to meet the new KA1 grant budget (Erasmus+ Programme 2021-2027). Before, sending organisations received 70€/day/person for course fees. Now, the new KA1 grant provides 80€/day/person.

Payment of 100 EUR per participant (total amount).

This fee also includes our social program, which you can see below.

Notice:

In the previous Erasmus+ programme, each educational organisation also received 350 EUR per participant for organisational support. Learning Together only charged 150 EUR for administration and organisation costs (local organisation and logistics, pedagogical support activities, learning validation, certification and Europass Mobility validation). With the new programme, the organisational support fees are now a standard 100 EUR per person – however, they can vary according project type (job-sadowing, long-term,…).
