Evaluation of the EC-project `Committed Parents´

The project `committed parents´ was realized by the `Paritätische Akademie NRW´ together with eight partners from seven European countries within the EC-programs Socrates and Grundtvig 1. A series of trainings was designed and put to the test addressing professionals who work with immigrant parents in family education. On the course, professionals learn more about family learning programs involving migrant parents in the host community and the partner countries. The training includes information about the context of migrant parents in different countries. Participants have the opportunity to share knowledge and experience with other professionals and develop skills in working with people from different cultures. The course includes practical activities, theory, information about programs in different countries, observations, and planning on how to implement new ideas into working situations.

The evaluation took place in the planning stage of the program. It supported the team, took feedback from the first participants, assessed the results of the first trainings and offered ideas for improving the training concept.

Commissioned by Paritätische Akademie im Paritätischen Bildungswerk LV NRW e. V.

The project was funded within the EC’s programs Socrates and Grundtvig 1.
