Preventing discrimination in the thinking and action of educators and adult learners
EASY Course Framework is a collection of educational modules, thematically focused on issues of stereotypes and discrimination, the learning outcomes assigned to them, methods of their verification, teaching-learning methods, teaching content and resources.
The EASY Framework of Competencies is a coherent set of learning outcomes, based on the Global Competencies, related to
1/ knowledge (defined as ‘body of information that is possessed by an individual’), understanding it (‘comprehension and appreciation of meanings’) and
2/ skills (defined as the capacity for carrying out a complex and well-organised pattern of either thinking (cognitive skill) or behaviour (behavioural skill).
These learning outcomes are strictly connected with antidiscrimination by adults in social life, and describe what behaviours are required, valued, recognized and rewarded in relation to specific social and job roles.
