Innovation is a key word today in all sectors, especially in education. Teaching is a continuous progress building across generations. In the past schools were a “world apart” from the reality of everyday life. Parents were sure that children were at school protected and safe by the school system and the question: what my child will do in the future remained unanswered until the end of the secondary school. We will see … we will see. Today is different. Reality and the school world have to be more linked and innovation has to characterize the teacher's method and behavior.
TICO Training is an innovative structure of intensive training lasting 5 which explores innovation in all its aspects. Teaching is Innovation. It's right. Teaching is Communication. This is also right. But also Outdoor Education and in this case we mean, that the windows of classrooms have to be opened to the outside world. Literature on this topic is broad and is filling the web with many articles and websites recollecting tools.
TICO Training doesn't want to be theoretical but practical, fostering working in groups combining continuous teaching methods and the use of technology..

Target group

Mainly teachers and educators but also trainers and school directors. Potentially all adults and also entrepreneurs in the field of education.

​

Like all our programs, the present one is flexible and adaptable to special requests, depending on the subject taught or on the starting level of the participant. Furthermore, in line with the JUMP Academy method, our courses are based on a strategic balance between formal and non-formal education, indoor and outdoor education and the team takes care of a very important aspect of international mobility which is the intercultural learning which we develop with short excursions and facilitating the interaction with local partners, especially schools of the territory. We always try to connect our learners to local teachers and students to cooperate in developing innovation and networking for future projects. If possible, inside the program, a morning is spent inside a local school, visiting, observing, and cooperating in the realization of one or more lessons. The proposed program JUMP works, in European dimension and with an international spirit, at the local level and, according to the period of the training along the year and the weather, it is possible to change some sessions and add visits and meetings, in cooperation with our network of partners including schools involved in European projects).
