"The “Building Capacity for Transformative Learning“ project increases adult educators competences to use more deeply engaging learning methods in their teaching and training programs. BACKGROUND: As knowledge takes the centre stage of our economic growth, learning needs to provide ways for the integration and application of new knowledge into a rapidly changing world, and to help the learners to connect it with their own meaning-making. We believe Transformative Learning can address such gaps. The project´s results provide convincing knowledge about an innovative learning approach that transforms learners perspective on fundamentals of life and their roles. It provides access to theories and methods about “transformative learning” in a competence framework, a training program, a book and a blended learning course in an online learning environment. THE PROJECT’S MAIN OBJECTIVES WERE: *to provide access to deeply engaging and participative learning methodologies *to strengthen the network of practitioners *provide a shared language within the transformative learning approach All objectives were reached both through the process of work during the project (e.g. co-writing of the book with more than 40 authors, meetings/conversations of project partners at the project´s events) and dissemination of the results.PARTICIPANTS: Staff members, learners of the partner organizations and participants in Multiplier Events participated in the project, a total of 324 individuals. Staff and learners are adult education practitioners who have a deep curiosity and passion to innovate in their learning environments towards a more transformative education, e.g.: the teaching of meta-skills, more self-directed learning, approaches that can make the students take an increased responsibility for their own learning and self-construction of meaning. Multiplier Event participants were both adult education practitioners and policy makers. ACTIVITIES:A blend of literature review and expert practitioners interviews provided the foundation for development of a Competences Framework will be created, which lists key factors and skills for a trainer of Transformative Learning. A draft of this framework was presented to an international audience of Transformative Learning practitioners who gave feedback and brainstormed multiple ideal train the trainer curriculum designs during a “Hackathon”. Informed by the Competences Framework and the Hackathon results, the project team designed a curriculum Train the Trainer for our direct intended beneficiaries. The project tested the Train the Trainer curriculum during a kickoff event, and a follow up online learning environment. This ""Transformative Edge Program (TEP)"" was attended by 32 participants curious to learn more about transformative education and apply such learnings to a context relevant for their work. The blended workshop + online learning environment stewarded learners through peer-feedback, reflection exercises and content input. Each participant worked on a tangible curriculum design as a final project, however not all designs could be tested because of corona restrictions.A book ""A transformative edge"" was written in a collaborative process with over 40 co-authors. It was launched at a series of 7 multiplier events, 5 of them online. The book on transformative education includes the Competences Framework, Theories and Methods about TL and guidance to design an own TL event. It was promoted through a social media campaign. RESULTS AND IMPACT:Competences FrameworkTrain the Trainer CurriculumBook ""A Transformative Edge""Online Learning EnvironmentHow-to guide for replicating the collaborative writing process of the book324 participants were impacted directly by participating in the project. More than 32.000 people were reached through the social media campaign. LONGER TERM BENEFITS2 follow up projects are receiving EU-funding and will take the results of this project to the area of online learning and to the target group of underprivileged learners."
