On May 11–13, within the framework of the PROVE project “Promoting Values Education in Higher Education Institutions of the South Caucasus”, implemented under the Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Higher Education (CBHE) program, a three-day workshop was held at Caucasus University. The workshop aimed to strengthen student initiatives and support the development of community needs-based activities through Community Action Plan development.
During the workshop, students received information about the key characteristics of community action and support initiatives. Participants discussed their personal values and became acquainted with the principles of Values and Knowledge Education (VaKE) and Service-Learning strategies.
Students also identified challenges within their own communities and developed Community Action Plans focused on community-oriented activities, which will serve as the foundation for future student-led community initiatives.
The workshop was organized within the framework of the PROVE project, which focuses on peace education and is based on the VaKE (Values and Knowledge Education) approach. This is an innovative, student-oriented methodology that integrate values-based and research-oriented teaching.
The Project is implemented in cooperation with educational organizations/universities from Austria, Greece, Georgia and Armenia.
