...talk about why the are participating in the program
Syrine
I love taking part in both team projects with an aim and a follow up session. Taking part in the “Training of Instructors” is a continuity of the great work, we´ve started and built inside ourselves. The “Training of Instructors” offers us, Civic Education trainers, to meet and multiply together the work towards change. And it is not about having a content and delivering it, it is about developing it and pursuing the learning process. A new baby is being delivered, I am excited to be one of the numerous parents.
Firas
I´m here to learn and build new solutions to issues and challenges that our society faces today.
As a trainer, I have responsibility to share concepts and theories with the new generation of trainers in Tunisia. I wish to take them to a journey full of reflection about diversity and democracy and how we can apply them by asking the right questions and understand values.
...talk about their experiences as trainers and instructors
Syrine and Firas are not only talking about the content of their ToT, but also about the personal highlights of their trainings.
What does civil society education mean for...
Firas
Civic education is a means to learn how to build a society that appreciates diversity and democracy and apply them. Civic education has a very important role to play in relation with the dynamics of society to understand the individual identity and collective identity. Civic education has a very important role to prevent violent extremism and promote peace.
Syrine
Civic education is to awaken the empowered citizen inside every person, and this reaches the mind, the senses and the emotions.
