Our Approach

At the core of the MoveMakers Learning LAB program were international meetings with the focus of:

● sharing experiences, tools and processes for supporting innovation;
● building personal mastery to be a change maker in education;
● seeking inspiration from innovators from diverse disciplines;
● co-creating new prototypes to be tested and applied in real life.

Meet-Ups were local gatherings of participants supporting the application of the learning, building personal mastery and prototyping in real life. Make your Move was an invitation to bring alive concrete prototypes, i.e. learning modules, curricula, practical training programs or frameworks for designing new programmes for adult learners.

Who?

The program was open to adult education practitioners from variety of fields and contexts, both formal and non-formal, f.e higher or vocational education, community learning, teachers education, non-formal training programmes, corporate training platform etc.

By adult education practitioners we saw educators who have direct contact with adult learners as trainers, teachers, lectures, process facilitators, curriculum designers and managers who were looking for ways to design new education.

We had few places for future generation educators who were passionate about bringing positive change into education. We were especially keen on meeting educators who support creativity and entrepreneurial learning opportunities for adults.
