National Institute of Justice trainers are honing their skills in facilitating adult learning

Today, November 20, 2024, the National Institute of Justice started the facilitation skills development program for INJ trainers, by organizing the first session of the series of seminars dedicated to the methodology of training adults. The initiative is in line with the Institute's objectives of aligning with European standards of excellence in legal training, as well as the recommendations of the TAIEX mission. The seminar will be replicated in the following period, thus ensuring the training in this segment of the entire body of trainers who teach at the Institute.

At the opening, the participants were greeted by the representatives of the organizing institutions - Ecaterina Popa, head of the Training and Research Directorate within the INJ, and Mihaela Vidaicu, director of ABA ROLI Moldova.

Under the guidance of the coordinator Trainer training program from the State University of Moldova, Valentina Chicu, the activity was focused on strengthening effective facilitation techniques and familiarization with innovative ways of providing feedback.

The training participants benefited from a practical and interactive approach, which allowed them to explore including the ERRE methodological framework (Evocation – Realization of meaning – Reflection – Extension). This model places the learner at the center of the learning process, facilitating the acquisition of skills through direct involvement in the construction of their own knowledge.

The activity was organized by the National Institute of Justice within the Program to Support Criminal Justice Reform and Combat Corruption (2021-2025), implemented by ABA ROLI, with the financial support of the Office for Combating Drug Trafficking and Law Enforcement of the US Department of State.
