Focus Areas

Organization: Orava Association for Democratic Education

Countries/regions involved: Albania, Georgia, Czech Republic, Latvia, and Slovakia (core group); Russia, Kosovo, Armenia, Romania, Moldova, and Tajikistan (observer countries)

This project aims to support curricular reforms in Central and Eastern Europe and the Caucasus through building the capacity of a core group of educators from the involved countries. This will be achieved through offering trainings to national teams in partner countries to provide them with the necessary knowledge and skills in developing school-based curriculum that responds to the needs of individual learners and communities. Five country teams from the core group of countries will be established and trained and they will work together with international experts to develop a training program which will be later offered and disseminated in their countries. Experts from observer countries (five educators) will also receive training to understand what issues are involved in curriculum development when similar reforms enter their countries.
