ANPCDEFP - Connector 9.0 - Connecting the world by non-formal learning

The story of Connector dates back to 2014, when the Romanian National Agency organised its/first first edition, aiming that the event – focused on sharing and experiencing non-formal learning methods - would become a European reference point for non-formal education.

In a nutshell: the 9th edition of Connector aims to create a space and context where people involved in learning become familiar with and practice different non-formal learning methods, having in mind the 2024 Erasmus+/ESC priorities (inclusion& diversity; digital transformation; environment and fight against climate change; participation in democratic life).

A special focus will be placed on how these learning methods : create a framework for telling stories around project results.

Why Connector?

• Because it is a chance to become familiar with non-formal learning methods that you can afterward use in your projects or your daily learning context. 
• Because you can experience learning in an international and multicultural context. 
• Because learning by doing and focusing on participants' hands-on experience are the key elements of this event.

With these in mind, we will offer a large gallery of practical workshops in order to:

• promote non-formal learning in Europe with an emphasis on inclusion & diversity, green, and digital transformation;
• create connections between non-formal learning and formal education;
• create a collaborative space for sharing methods, instruments, practices and efficient ideas for learning and telling stories (to get an idea, some of the previous editions’ methods were: debate, nonviolent communication, photovoice, forum theater, improvisation theater, storytelling, graphic facilitation, living library);
• create a learning space with a focus on European values.
