Our other activities include enhancing intercultural intelligence, barriers to understanding cultural information, and building a culture of multiculturalism with deliberate programs on improving:
• Knowledge of the multidimensional and complex character of cultures as well as the ability to reflect the own cultural context
• understanding of how cultural differences shape individual perceptions, communication processes and courses of action
• Basic competences in intercultural communication
• The ability to reflect and analyze the behavior of one’s own and of strangers as well as to develop action alternatives
• An understanding of possible emotional dynamics during stays abroad and the ability to better cope with emerging issues
Our organizational experience is anchored on the strength of our membership composition as well as the strength of the NGO Network we are working within Europe. ISEDE focuses on developing teaching programs that enhance youth cooperation, life learning skills for adult migrants, encouraging citizen participation in governance, addressing the human rights concern of children, women, impaired, vulnerable, refugees, and elderly citizens. All our programs are targeted at those experiencing social exclusion and inequality. We believe that aside technological changes, the conception of learning for both educators and adults’ learners has changed from the individual learner and most times the educators have become learning facilitators, so it is imperative to fashion out programs to learn from adults and people of background who are experiencing social exclusion. ISEDE programs aim to highlight the need to redefine projects and programs in education for adult learning into four interdependent factors that are essential in quality VET teaching practice. They include project/program development, project/program planning, project/program delivery, project/program review, and educator’s continuous competence building, which takes accounts of the indicators that have affected the training activities. These indicators may range from; new target groups in VET, changing paradigms in educational theory, diversification of learning environments, and fast changes in education structures and priorities and the labor market.
Finally, ISEDE will pertain her focus on activating capacity building programs within and outside the European Union on the categories of Youth Exchange, Further Training Courses, and Vocational Educational Learning.
