Summary:
Eda Edu aims to develop competences for trainers concerning transfer of innovation in SMEs through the use of Study Circles. It is targeted on organisations of VET system and SMEs.
In line with the objectives and priorities of the Leonardo Programme, the project aims to promote training for trainers in non formal vocational training. It will try to define a “Model of Competences” for trainers in that specific field and disseminate it together with other best practices through a “Model of Transfer”. The development of competences for trainers will be realised through an experimentation process based on the related Model and focused upon the introduction of Study Circles concerning transmission of innovation in SMEs. The project will also realise a Transnational Consortium, opened to other potential partners around Europe, along with a Transnational Service which will provide tools, information and training service in order to maintain and consolidate trainers’ competences on transfer of innovation within SME through the use of Study Circles.
