The workshop we propose is for educational psychologists / school counselors, educators and psycho-pedagogues. In fact, it is addressed to professionals who carry out psychological and/ or psycho-educational and vocational counseling activities for children and adolescents. This practical-formative sequence will be very useful to all persons that are in different stages of their professional development in the field of preventive-curative educational and psychological interventions (students, recent graduates, practising psychologists / pedagogues / psycho-pedagogues concerned with the well-being of children and teenagers).

The training session will be structured as follows:

1. Operationalization of non-cognitive abilities

2. Concrete modalities of differentiation between cognitive and non-cognitive abilities

3. Practical strategies for training and developing non-cognitive skills (SELF KIT programs, DASECA Tool kit)

Competence-based curriculum - how to design inspiring learning activities

In a world of competence-centred approaches and pupil-centred learning, to align these educational discourses can challenge the professional competences of the teachers. What lies in the competence-based curriculum? How is this approach changing the way teachers design inspiring lessons to develop critical competences for the 21st century? What are the implications on classroom environment, evaluation and social relationships in the learning groups? Does content becomes obsolete in this re-framing of learning experience?

The workshop will engage participants into a direct & participative activity to support reflection on the proposed topics. The group will be conducted to design the framework of a competence-based lesson/unit and will agregate own outcomes based on the actual work in the timeframe of the workshop.
