Formally About Non-Formal Education: How We Educate at Brno For You

Just like formal education, which we know from school classrooms, non-formal education also follows clearly defined goals that we strive to achieve. Reaching these goals requires a structured plan and step-by-step approach, which we adapt based on the needs and capabilities of our participants.

The process of achieving our predetermined goals is flexible—it depends not only on the trainer but also on the group and each individual. Everyone shares responsibility for their own learning outcomes and the competencies they develop.

Participants in our projects are our partners, voluntarily engaging in activities. They step out of their comfort zones only when they feel safe. Mistakes are not punished here—on the contrary, we learn from them.

You learn by yourself, you learn in a group, and you learn from others. You learn based on your own needs—what truly interests you.

The environment in which learning takes place varies. A creative space that supports the learning process can be found in the heart of a city or in an open field. Here, you might not acquire a wealth of new theoretical knowledge, but through intuitive learning and hands-on experience, you will develop competencies—new skills and abilities for life that help you navigate an ever-changing world. We focus on developing personal attitudes, values, and emotions.

Just as a school diploma serves as proof of formal education, the European Youthpass certificate, which participants take home after an international camp, serves as proof of their non-formal learning experience within the Erasmus+ program.
