 Socrates Grundtvig

The project "Curricular education for PAMs working in the field of epilepsy" is funded by the Socrates - Grundtvig 2 programme of the EU. This project involves the development of the pedagogical skills needed for both individual and organized learning and the promotion of strategies for change in this educational sphere of adult learning, which to date has been very fragmented. The main methods used were e-learning, elements of the moderation method, group work and Problem Based Learning. This also ensures that PAMs use and disseminate up-to-date teaching methodology.

In the first year of funding (2004 - 2005) three meetings with the participation of further international experts, PAMs, learners and people with epilepsy were held.
