SERA Cycle 1 Introduction and Courses

Project n° 580247-EPP-1-2016-1-FR-EPPKA3-IPI-SOC-IN Table 1: Addressed needs Purple – the activities that are indicated in this colour delves into the very basic need of food and it is called the ‘primary line’. Understanding the customs related with food, sweets, methods of cooking, the methods of how the basic produce of the food, and other aspects, are somehow interlinked with culture. This provides opportunities for the learners to become more knowledgeable of one’s own culture and also of the culture of other participants in the programme. Blue – any activities with this colour goes into the physical wellbeing of the learners and is identified as the ‘physical line’. Some of the Blue activities include sport like yoga and even more vigorous activities that make the learner exert themselves and express their energies in a positive manner. Orange – rules, regulations, boundaries and safety precautions are indicated in this colour. The orange is also called the ‘stop - line’. The orange colour is indicated a number of times, but the teacher and/or educator can increase the number of instances where orange activities are included in the agenda. If such instances occur it is recommended that the teacher provides an outline of the eventualities that required a ‘stop - line’ so that the SERA programme is continuously updated. Brown – this colour delves into group dynamics and teamwork and is known as ‘cooperation line’. Thus, the exercise in this colour motivate the learners to get involved in group work, which helps them adopt more integration skills. Yellow – the yellow colour or the ‘ mirror- line’ targets the self -reflection of the learners. Some of the activities in this part entail that the learners should read, write or embark into other activities that would encourage focusing on one’s own strengths and weaknesses and also to find potential ways of addressing them. (*) Red/Pink – is the ‘value line’ which includes those activities that require the learner to appreciate one’s own values and also the value of those around us. (*) at the origin, this level of needs was in red but SERA consortium found this red too hard and moved it to pink; it could remain some red marks somewhere for which we apologize and thank you for making them known. Green – the activities that fall under this colour include all those activities that involve formal, non-formal and/or informal education, thus is called the ‘education line’.
