UNESCO and NFEC focus on life skills in non formal education (2013 July 22-25)
Abstract:
Integrating life skills training makes education more relevant to the lives of learners as they help young and adult people to develop capacity, values and attitudes to improve their professional skills, enabling them to take control of their lives, make informed decisions, and participate fully and confidently in public live.During the workshop, around 40 practitioners from governmental agencies and civil society organizations reviewed the basics, the meaning and processes of non formal education curriculum development focusing on life skills. The concept of life skills which is age old, gained new prominence with the 1998 report “Learning: The treasure within” that was prepared for UNESCO by the International Commission on Education for the Twenty-first Century. Commonly known as the Delors Report, it has been highly influential in the development of life skills, understood as going beyond practical and vocational skills and knowledge to encompass social skills, such as communication and interpersonal skills, decision making and critical thinking skills, coping and self-management skills.
