The first module of the Training Academy “Training for Trainers – TOT” was held in Zagreb, from 20 to 22 February 2018 and it was organised by the Croatian centre for volunteering development. The first module of the academy “Adult Education, Trainers’ Role and Training Design” gathered 20 representatives of civil society organisations, including representatives of the Local Democracy Agency Sisak, Matea Strižić and Martina Jambrović. Throughout three days, the participants got familiar with the concept of educating adults, the styles and outcomes of the learning process, the process and the steps involved in planning and implementing the education. The participants also had the opportunity to improve the level of understanding and various techniques and methods used in informal education for adults.
