Invitation
to a Grundtvig Learning partnership contact seminar

Community building, community learning

Budapest, Hungary
3 December – 5 December, 2009

Are you a community builder or community worker? Do you work for an organisation that provides formal, non-formal or informal learning opportunities for adult members of the community in order to raise the level of participation? Do you believe that active participation in society requires skills that can be taught? What are those skills and what are the most effective ways of teaching them? And what do individuals learn through participation in society?
Do you feel that a European exchange of experience and cooperation with similar organisations could enhance your and your colleagues’ professional background? Could it also motivate your learners to participate more actively? Find partners and start a European project in Budapest!
