Work Package No. 4 – External Testing and delivery of supporting tools for trainers
During the WP no. 4 the partners conducted another round of pilot courses, this time involving HMEIs outside the partnership (considering the innovativeness and the originality of the training course proposed, the partnership believed that an external validation of the training contents will be important in order to ensure the sustainability of the course and its adaptability to different social and cultural contexts).
This WP will also allow strengthening relations with HEI providers in other countries and creating a community of organizations that support inclusivity in the music sector.
During the WP No. 4 the partners will conduct an external validation of the training materials already piloted within their own organizations. The main results at the end of the process will be:
- Two Training Courses, one dedicated to HMEI teachers and one for administrative staff, aimed at improving the learners skills and break down the barriers that limit the access to HMEIs to people with cognitive and sensorial disabilities. All the training materials will be freely and openly available on an e-learning platform in English, Italian, Romanian.
- Two Training Manuals, referring to the two courses, that have a two-fold purpose: on one side, explaining the pedagogical methodology of each training session and provide more information about how to deliver the training; on the other, explaining to other organizations how to organize the course.
- Two Self-Paced Training courses, to be uploaded on the project e-learning platform, conceived as a support for any organization that would like to replicate the course. They will contain information on both the pedagogical and organizational aspects, as well as tips and suggestions from the partners that have already completed the courses, and testimonials. Beside the pedagogical purpose, the seld-paced course should be considered as a tool for increasing the interest of the HMEIs in adopting the IncluMusic course for boosting inclusivity and special pedagogy skills in both the academic and administrative staff.
This WP also strenghtened the relation with HEI providers in other countries and contributed to the creation of a community of organizations that support inclusivity in the music sector.
