It is a training materials which aims to explore and prove the validity of the non- formal education-NFE. The project wants to promote the transnational exchange of practice in this field, considering the importance of non- formal education as a complementary tool in the life of students.

The two methodologies-NFE and Formal Education balance each other out as they deal with different fields of education. However, in the last years, the both educational approaches are exchanging some tools with each other, so that in some countries we can find that NFE is successfully used in institutional contexts.

Some lessons used energizers to help our students to open up and relax by creating a friendly and welcoming environment and sense of fun. Creativity warm-ups can also bring energy and fun to a room, build empathy for students.

Each partner has based the activities on different topics: democracy, social inclusion, mathematics, communication in the mother tongue, chemistry, environmental education, STEM and CLIL by using different kind of activities all related to the non-formal education; moreover the partners have developed an intercultural and sensitive evaluation tool, coherently with the NFE.
