The second learning teaching and training activity (LTTA) within the EASY project took place in the period 19-21 September 2023. The Adult Educators training was hosted by HF & VUC FYN in Odense, Denmark. A total of 15 adult educators took part in the training – 3 from each partner country – Poland, Portugal, Greece, Denmark and Bulgaria.

In the afternoon on the last day there was a group discussion on the overall Toolkit, and guidance on how the adult educators can they use the Toolkit with their own adult learners, in the following weeks.
The practical sessions focused on 5 of the 12 movies included in the EASY Catalogue:
