"The concept of safe space is a complex one and can relate to different elements of educational practice, whether it is connected to the physical aspect of the space, the online environment, or the role of the trainers, organisers and/or learners in creating a safe learning setting. During the training, offered in a blended format, we will explore the power dynamics and decolonial approaches in adult learning and education, public pedagogy and the relationship between safety and space. We will also look at practical ways of co-creating a safe space together with learners.The training targets adult educators and organisers of adult learning courses, as well as learners themselves.We kindly ask you to note that the programme below might be subject to minor changes.Please register latest by the 8th of March.
