International Learning Module for Early Yeras Education

"""Early childhood care, education and upbringing (ECEC) forms the foundation for successful lifelong learning, social integration, personal development and later employability. The earliest experiences that children gain form the basis for all later learning."" (European Commission) The project partners from six countries have been working closely and trustingly together for decades. In each of the countries, a training facility and an NGO have teamed up to jointly develop and test a common training module that particularly addresses the needs of the disadvantaged. Product of the project is an innovative training module that has been tried and tested within the project and which offers learners the opportunity to acquire basic and cross-sectional competences in their professional field at European level together with learners from other schools / universities.The significant improvement in the quality of learners' skills in the field of early childhood education could be achieved by implementing the training module developed in this project. The planned integration of the training module into the curricula of the participating educational institutions (including the assessment and certification of the learning results) still takes time. This project provides the description of the training module, which is then taken over by the partners as a regular offer in schools / universities and also offered to other associations of educational partners for use.By linking the training module with the offer of a mobility experience for learners (they can either take part in the training module in their own institution or with one of the project partners), they acquire both professional qualifications and access to the basic elements of pedagogical training the Commission described eight key competencies in the ""Lifelong Learning Program""."
