1. Attività <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>formazi<strong>on</strong>e</str<strong>on</strong>g> in aula<br />

Il 9 Novembre 2005, nell’ambito del Progetto EU.FOR.ME., si è c<strong>on</strong>clusa l’attività <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>formazi<strong>on</strong>e</str<strong>on</strong>g> in aula durata 200 ore, in cui si s<strong>on</strong>o svolti i moduli formativi previsti<br />

dal progetto e iniziati il 12 settembre 2005; i partecipanti s<strong>on</strong>o stati 18 <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> cui 16<br />

titolari e 2 u<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>tori; la frequenza è stata bu<strong>on</strong>a e costante.<br />

Le attività d’aula s<strong>on</strong>o state supportate e m<strong>on</strong>itorate dalla Tutor d’aula che è stata<br />

presente durante lo svolgimento delle lezi<strong>on</strong>i.<br />

La finalità del Progetto è <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> formare la figura professi<strong>on</strong>ale <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> “Formatore<br />

Specializzato nelle tematiche del Turismo accessibile”, che possa utilizzare<br />

efficacemente le c<strong>on</strong>oscenze e le competenze acquisite negli ambiti lavorativi in<br />

cui si inseriranno.<br />

L’azi<strong>on</strong>e formativa si è svolta seguendo le in<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>cazi<strong>on</strong>i delle 4 tappe formative:<br />

− Formazi<strong>on</strong>e dei formatori<br />

− Il sistema turismo<br />

− Il formatore <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> turismo per tutti<br />

− La realizzazi<strong>on</strong>e dei Project Works.<br />

Nella prima tappa è stato presentato il progetto EU.FOR.ME., l’analisi del c<strong>on</strong>testo<br />

turistico nel quale si inserisce il progetto e dal quale è emersa la necessità <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

questa nuova figura professi<strong>on</strong>ale, e la presentazi<strong>on</strong>e dei Partners che hanno<br />

illustrato il loro ruolo nel Progetto.<br />

Durante questa tappa s<strong>on</strong>o stati affr<strong>on</strong>tate le unità formative riguardanti la figura<br />

del formatore, dando ai partecipanti c<strong>on</strong>oscenze relative alla comunicazi<strong>on</strong>e<br />

verbale e n<strong>on</strong> verbale, la gesti<strong>on</strong>e delle <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>namiche <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> gruppo, cenni <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

comunicazi<strong>on</strong>e per un’utenza ampliata e le tecniche <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> problem solving per<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>agnosticare, affr<strong>on</strong>tare e risolvere problemi <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>versa natura.<br />

La metodologia utilizzata è stata in alcuni momenti la lezi<strong>on</strong>e fr<strong>on</strong>tale alternata<br />

c<strong>on</strong> simulazi<strong>on</strong>i, role playing e stu<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> caso.<br />

5


La parte delle metodologie formative è stata svolta c<strong>on</strong> lezi<strong>on</strong>i fr<strong>on</strong>tali, attraverso<br />

cui s<strong>on</strong>o state illustrate le varie metodologie formative, le tappe <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> appren<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>mento<br />

nelle <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>verse fasi della vita, la normativa riguardante la <str<strong>on</strong>g>formazi<strong>on</strong>e</str<strong>on</strong>g>, focalizzando<br />

l’attenzi<strong>on</strong>e sugli interventi formativi per un’utenza ampliata.<br />

Durante questo modulo è emersa da parte dei corsisti l’esigenza <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> apprendere le<br />

tecniche per la progettazi<strong>on</strong>e <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> un’azi<strong>on</strong>e formativa ed è, quin<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>, stata inserita,<br />

dando un quadro generale su come si progetta un <str<strong>on</strong>g>corso</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>formazi<strong>on</strong>e</str<strong>on</strong>g>.<br />

Durante il modulo <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> m<strong>on</strong>itoraggio dell’azi<strong>on</strong>e formativa s<strong>on</strong>o state trasmesse<br />

c<strong>on</strong>oscenze <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> valutazi<strong>on</strong>e prima, dopo e durante un’azi<strong>on</strong>e formativa ed i vari<br />

strumenti da utilizzare: interviste, questi<strong>on</strong>ari, brainstorming.<br />

Infine, s<strong>on</strong>o state fornite c<strong>on</strong>oscenze riguardanti il settore informatico, l’utilizzo <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

programmi necessari per svolgere l’attività formativa, c<strong>on</strong> particolare attenzi<strong>on</strong>e al<br />

programma Power Point, inoltre ,s<strong>on</strong>o stati illustrati ausili e tecniche informatiche<br />

per un’utenza ampliata.<br />

Per offrire un quadro sui tratti caratteristici dello scenario turistico, è stata<br />

sviluppata la sec<strong>on</strong>da tappa formativa riguardante l’industria del turismo,<br />

prendendo in esame la domanda, l’offerta, i prodotti ed i canali <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stributivi.<br />

Questo tema è stato trattato prima, in modo generale e in seguito, calandolo nel<br />

turismo per tutti.<br />

Dopo aver fornito ai partecipanti del <str<strong>on</strong>g>corso</str<strong>on</strong>g> un quadro <str<strong>on</strong>g>sul</str<strong>on</strong>g>la figura del formatore e<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>sul</str<strong>on</strong>g> sistema turismo, si è entrati nel vivo della tematica del turismo accessibile,<br />

argomento della terza tappa formativa.<br />

Dal momento che la tematica del turismo “per tutti” è ri<str<strong>on</strong>g>sul</str<strong>on</strong>g>tata essere quasi a tutti<br />

i partecipanti sc<strong>on</strong>osciuta, è stato in<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>spensabile affr<strong>on</strong>tarla dettagliatamente,<br />

fornendo “una cassetta degli attrezzi” riguardante il tema del turismo accessibile.<br />

In primo luogo è stata fatta una panoramica degli aspetti generali <str<strong>on</strong>g>sul</str<strong>on</strong>g>l’accessibilità,<br />

seguita dall’analisi del quadro legislativo.<br />

6


In seguito, è stato approf<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>to questo tema dando il significato, i criteri e le<br />

valutazi<strong>on</strong>i <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> accessibilità; prendendo in esame la Metodologia IGVAE, che<br />

fornisce degli strumenti per rilevare l’accessibilità nelle varie strutture.<br />

È stato, inoltre, illustrato il Progetto “Italia Per Tutti”, da cui s<strong>on</strong>o nate le<br />

metodologie sopra citate.<br />

Durante questi moduli, oltre alle lezi<strong>on</strong>i fr<strong>on</strong>tali, s<strong>on</strong>o state fatte delle uscite,<br />

mirate a rendere pratiche le c<strong>on</strong>oscenze acquisite.<br />

Una “gita” ad Assisi in cui i Partecipanti hanno visitato la città su se<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>a a ruote,<br />

simulando così la <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>sabilità motoria e c<strong>on</strong>statando l’accessibiltà della città.<br />

Inoltre c<strong>on</strong> le schede della Metodologia IG-VAE hanno analizzato la reale<br />

accessibilità <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> un Hotel <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> Assisi, per poi produrre una nota <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> sintesi dell’albergo<br />

in cui si descriveva quanto rilevato.<br />

In questa tappa s<strong>on</strong>o state illustrate le <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>verse tipologie <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>sabilità, dando un<br />

quadro esigenziale e capendo anche come accogliere il turista <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>sabile, gli<br />

atteggiamenti e le relazi<strong>on</strong>i da intraprendere.<br />

Durante questi moduli s<strong>on</strong>o stati svolti dei lavori <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> gruppo e dei role playing in cui<br />

i partecipanti si immedesimavano nelle varie tipologie <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>sabilità, prendendo<br />

maggiore coscienza delle specifiche esigenze.<br />

Da qui si è iniziato a progettare un pacchetto turistico “per Tutti”, applicando tutte<br />

le c<strong>on</strong>oscenze e le competenze acquisite durante le ore d’aula.<br />

Alla fine delle prime tre tappe formative ai partecipanti è stata fatta un valutazi<strong>on</strong>e<br />

in itinere per accertarsi delle c<strong>on</strong>oscenze acquisite, dando degli argomenti, su cui i<br />

titolari hanno preparato delle presentazi<strong>on</strong>i c<strong>on</strong> Power Point, che poi hanno<br />

esposto in classe c<strong>on</strong> relativa valutazi<strong>on</strong>e dei docenti.<br />

Le 200 ore teoriche s<strong>on</strong>o state molto utili per fornire un chiarimento <str<strong>on</strong>g>sul</str<strong>on</strong>g>la figura<br />

professi<strong>on</strong>ale in uscita e <str<strong>on</strong>g>sul</str<strong>on</strong>g> mercato del lavoro in cui poss<strong>on</strong>o spenderla.<br />

7


Inoltre, s<strong>on</strong>o state fornite competenze nuove, su una tematica molto interessante<br />

e attuale come il turismo per tutti, facendo capire che, anche i turisti c<strong>on</strong> esigenze<br />

specifiche hanno gli stessi desideri <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> “fare vacanze” come tutti, basta solo<br />

ascoltarli e dare loro informazi<strong>on</strong>i dettagliate e precise.<br />

2. Attività <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> realizzazi<strong>on</strong>e dei Project Works<br />

Alla fase <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>formazi<strong>on</strong>e</str<strong>on</strong>g> in aula è seguita l’ultima tappa formativa riguardante la<br />

realizzazi<strong>on</strong>e dei Project Works: 4 moduli <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>dattici sperimentali della durata <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> 20<br />

ore ciascuno.<br />

Per la realizzazi<strong>on</strong>e <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> tale attività i partecipanti titolari s<strong>on</strong>o stati <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>visi in quattro<br />

gruppi, ognuno dei quali ha realizzato, c<strong>on</strong> il supporto del tutoraggio a <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stanza <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

un partner transnazi<strong>on</strong>ale, un project work.<br />

La seguente tabella riporta il titolo <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> ogni project work, i nomi dei quattro<br />

partecipanti titolari che lo hanno realizzato e il nominativo del partner che ha<br />

svolto la relativa attività <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> tutoraggio a <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stanza.<br />

Per la realizzazi<strong>on</strong>e dei project work i partecipanti hanno dovuto preparare una<br />

serie <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> lezi<strong>on</strong>i, strutturandole come se dovessero presentarle in aula, realizzando<br />

le seguenti attività:<br />

− identificazi<strong>on</strong>e dei c<strong>on</strong>tenuti<br />

− preparazi<strong>on</strong>e <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> una sintesi degli argomenti delle lezi<strong>on</strong>i<br />

− realizzazi<strong>on</strong>e dei c<strong>on</strong>tenuti formativi<br />

− scelta del metodo <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> presentazi<strong>on</strong>e in aula (presentazi<strong>on</strong>e in Power Point)<br />

− realizzazi<strong>on</strong>e della presentazi<strong>on</strong>e<br />

− realizzazi<strong>on</strong>e della <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>spensa<br />

I partecipanti al <str<strong>on</strong>g>corso</str<strong>on</strong>g>, nel procedere c<strong>on</strong> la realizzazi<strong>on</strong>e dei c<strong>on</strong>tenuti formativi e<br />

c<strong>on</strong> la preparazi<strong>on</strong>e del materiale <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>dattico, erano tenuti ad inviare perio<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>camente<br />

al proprio partner-tutor quanto fino ad allora realizzato, per sottoporlo ad una sua<br />

valutazi<strong>on</strong>e.<br />

L’attività <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> tutoraggio a <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stanza dei partner transnazi<strong>on</strong>ali si è c<strong>on</strong>cretizzata nelle<br />

seguenti attività:<br />

− supporto agli studenti nell’identificazi<strong>on</strong>e dei principali c<strong>on</strong>tenuti formativi<br />

delle lezi<strong>on</strong>i, facendo riferimento agli argomenti identificati dal partenariato<br />

nel meeting transazi<strong>on</strong>e <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> Lussemburgo<br />

− in<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>cazi<strong>on</strong>e del materiale <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> supporto (libri <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> testo, altre pubblicazi<strong>on</strong>i, siti<br />

internet, ecc.) da utilizzare per la realizzazi<strong>on</strong>e dei c<strong>on</strong>tenuti formativi<br />

− m<strong>on</strong>itoraggio perio<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>co dello stato <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> avanzamento del lavoro<br />

− suggerimento delle metodologie migliori da utilizzare per la presentazi<strong>on</strong>e in<br />

aula<br />

− supporto nella preparazi<strong>on</strong>e delle <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>spense<br />

Oltre all’attività <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> tutoraggio a <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stanza è stato ritenuto opportuno, da tutto il<br />

partenariato, realizzare anche tre inc<strong>on</strong>tri tra i partecipanti al <str<strong>on</strong>g>corso</str<strong>on</strong>g> e i rispettivi<br />

tutor. Questi inc<strong>on</strong>tri si s<strong>on</strong>o svolti ad Assisi, il 14 ottobre 2005 e il 5 e 6 <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>cembre<br />

2005, e a Malaga, in occasi<strong>on</strong>e del meeting transnazi<strong>on</strong>ale del 26 e 27 gennaio<br />

5. Esperienza del tutoraggio a <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stanza<br />

A seguito del ri<str<strong>on</strong>g>sul</str<strong>on</strong>g>tato positivo dei project work, l’esperienza <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> tutoraggio a <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stanza<br />

dei partner può essere sintetizzata nei seguenti aspetti positivi e negativi:<br />

Aspetti positivi:<br />

+ Aut<strong>on</strong>omia degli studenti<br />

+ Necessità <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> lavorare in gruppo e <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> coor<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>narsi all’interno dei gruppi<br />

+ Necessità <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> in<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>viduare una pers<strong>on</strong>a resp<strong>on</strong>sabile, un coor<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>natore<br />

c<strong>on</strong> il compito <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> organizzare la comunicazi<strong>on</strong>e c<strong>on</strong> il tutor<br />

+ Rispetto delle regole e delle scadenze stabilite all’interno del gruppo<br />

+ Nuove esperienze sia per gli studenti che per i tutor (collaborazi<strong>on</strong>e<br />

tra studenti e tutor <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>fferenti paesi europei, c<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>visi<strong>on</strong>e delle<br />

+ Avvio <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> uno scambio <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> studenti e docenti tra l’Università <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> Perugia/<br />

Assisi e l’Università <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> Münster (programma <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> scambio Erasmus)<br />

+ C<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>visi<strong>on</strong>e <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> esperienze tra i <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>versi tutor (principalmente tra il<br />

tutor tedesco e quello svedese)<br />

Aspetti negativi:<br />

— Difficoltà nel rispettare le scadenze (all’interno del gruppo e c<strong>on</strong> il<br />

6. C<strong>on</strong>clusi<strong>on</strong>i<br />

Tutto c<strong>on</strong>siderato, l’attività <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> tutoraggio a <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stanza è stata molto positiva, c<strong>on</strong><br />

ampie possibilità <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> essere estesa anche a livello nazi<strong>on</strong>ale in Germania. I tre<br />

inc<strong>on</strong>tri “faccia a faccia” tra i tutor e gli studenti (14 Ottobre 2005 ad Assisi, 5 e 6<br />

Dicembre ad Assisi e 26 e 27 Gennaio a Malaga) s<strong>on</strong>o stati molto importanti per<br />

stabilire un’efficace collaborazi<strong>on</strong>e e un piano <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> lavoro efficiente (scadenze,<br />

modalità <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong>tatto, etc.).<br />

Nella realizzazi<strong>on</strong>e dei project work gli studenti hanno preso in c<strong>on</strong>siderazi<strong>on</strong>e le<br />

osservazi<strong>on</strong>i e seguito i c<strong>on</strong>sigli del tutor. C<strong>on</strong>tatti e relazi<strong>on</strong>i già bu<strong>on</strong>i si s<strong>on</strong>o<br />

c<strong>on</strong>solidati attraverso gli scambi e i <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>versi inc<strong>on</strong>tri. Entrambe le parti hanno<br />

beneficiato del tutoraggio a <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stanza.<br />

Per quanto riguarda progetti futuri si suggerisce la realizzazi<strong>on</strong>e <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> un numero<br />

maggiore <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> inc<strong>on</strong>tri “faccia a faccia” tra partecipanti e tutor.<br />

Aspetti positive:<br />

E’ un’esperienza molto positiva sperimentare un nuovo modello formativo c<strong>on</strong><br />

partecipanti <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> altri paesi. E’ un modo per realizzare una forte integrazi<strong>on</strong>e tra<br />

citta<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>ni europei, tenendo sempre in c<strong>on</strong>siderazi<strong>on</strong>e le aspettative dei giovani,<br />

target group <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> questo progetto.<br />

Aspetti negativi:<br />

Sarebbe stato necessario un maggiore c<strong>on</strong>tatto <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>retto tra partecipanti e tutor già<br />

dalle prime fasi dell’attività formativa. I tutor avrebbero dovuto avere maggiori<br />

opportunità <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> intervento, si sarebbero dovuti organizzare più inc<strong>on</strong>tri “faccia a<br />

faccia” c<strong>on</strong> gli studenti e più frequentemente <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> quanto n<strong>on</strong> sia stato fatto.<br />

Commenti:<br />

Riferendoci al problema sopra menzi<strong>on</strong>ato riguardante il ridotto numero <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong>tatti<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>retti tra partecipanti e tutor, n<strong>on</strong>ostante i ri<str<strong>on</strong>g>sul</str<strong>on</strong>g>tati finali del progetto possano<br />

comunque essere ritenuti estremamente positivi, vorremmo suggerire lo<br />

svolgimento <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> un numero maggiore <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> inc<strong>on</strong>tri “faccia a faccia” tra partecipanti e<br />

tutor in eventuali futuri progetti.<br />

Ri<str<strong>on</strong>g>sul</str<strong>on</strong>g>tati:<br />

Come più sopra ricordato, c<strong>on</strong>sideriamo i prodotti finali del progetto estremamente<br />

positivi. E’ forse troppo presto per parlare dei ri<str<strong>on</strong>g>sul</str<strong>on</strong>g>tati reali ma l’esperienza svolta<br />

fino a questo punto sembra evidenziare un’elevata potenzialità <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>ffusi<strong>on</strong>e dei<br />

prodotti del progetto sia a livello sociale che formativo.<br />

Esperienze acquisite:<br />

15


Nell’ambito <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> futuri progetti formativi che c<strong>on</strong>templino attività <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> tutoraggio a<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stanza n<strong>on</strong> va <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>menticato <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> pianificare dettagliatamente specifici<br />

“appuntamenti” tra tutor e studenti così come andrebbero organizzate in modo<br />

migliore le <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>fferenti modalità <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> comunicazi<strong>on</strong>e.<br />

E’ importante far comprendere agli studenti l’importanza <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> rispettare le scadenze<br />

stabilite per la c<strong>on</strong>segna dei lavori e i c<strong>on</strong>tatti c<strong>on</strong> i rispettivi tutor.<br />

- Stabilire in comune il calendario delle attività e le scadenze <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong>segna dei<br />

Premessa :<br />

Come è stato già detto, è molto importante stabilire almeno un c<strong>on</strong>tatto prima <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

iniziare il tutoraggio a <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stanza in modo da creare un legame tra le pers<strong>on</strong>e.<br />

Tutti gli studenti e i tutor hanno fatto notare che i tre inc<strong>on</strong>tri “faccia a faccia”<br />

s<strong>on</strong>o stati essenziali per stabilire una fruttuosa collaborazi<strong>on</strong>e e definire un efficace<br />

piano <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> lavoro.<br />

E’ inoltre più facile stabilire delle regole inc<strong>on</strong>trandosi <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> pers<strong>on</strong>a (scadenze,<br />

modalità <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong>tatto,......)<br />

Normalmente il miglior modo <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> procedure è quello <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> prevedere una combinazi<strong>on</strong>e<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> inc<strong>on</strong>tri sia virtuali che <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> pers<strong>on</strong>a.<br />

Aspetti positive del tutoraggio a <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stanza<br />

- Aut<strong>on</strong>omia degli studenti<br />

- Necessità <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> lavorare in gruppo (per gli studenti) e <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> coor<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>narsi<br />

- Necessità <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> in<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>viduare un resp<strong>on</strong>sabile, c<strong>on</strong> il compito <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> coor<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>nare l’invio<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> quesiti al tutor e <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stribuire le risposte<br />

- Rispetto delle regole e delle scadenze stabilite all’interno del gruppo<br />

Aspetti negative del tutoraggio a <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stanza<br />

- Difficoltà nel rispettare le scadenze<br />

- Difficoltà <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> comunicazi<strong>on</strong>e (le informazi<strong>on</strong>i s<strong>on</strong>o sintetizzate, le sfumature<br />

n<strong>on</strong> facili da capire, i commenti poco “vivi”,...)<br />

18


Commenti<br />

- Dopo l’inc<strong>on</strong>tro <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> Perugia, abbiamo stabilito un calendario e deciso <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

scambiarci tutti i documenti, vie e-mail, ogni venerdì.<br />

- Sembra che ci siano state delle carenze <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> comunicazi<strong>on</strong>e e <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

coor<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>namento all’interno del gruppo che hanno negativamente influenzato<br />

gli scambi c<strong>on</strong> il tutor.<br />

- I <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>versi livelli <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong>oscenza della lingua inglese n<strong>on</strong> hanno facilitato la<br />

comunicazi<strong>on</strong>e, molte delle informazi<strong>on</strong>i s<strong>on</strong>o state inviate in italiano. I<br />

comp<strong>on</strong>enti più giovani dello Youth Panel del Lussemburgo n<strong>on</strong> parlano<br />

inglese, quin<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> molto tempo è stato perso per l’attività <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> traduzi<strong>on</strong>e dei<br />

documenti in inglese o in francese.<br />

- N<strong>on</strong> ci s<strong>on</strong>o stati c<strong>on</strong>tatti fra i tutor (per quanto ne sappia) che sarebbero<br />

stati invece molto utili.<br />

Ri<str<strong>on</strong>g>sul</str<strong>on</strong>g>tati, esperienze acquisite<br />

- N<strong>on</strong>ostante una certa mancanza <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> coor<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>namento, tutto il lavoro previsto è<br />

stato realizzato e il <str<strong>on</strong>g>corso</str<strong>on</strong>g> si è c<strong>on</strong>cluso Gli studenti hanno preso in<br />

c<strong>on</strong>siderazi<strong>on</strong>e le osservazi<strong>on</strong>i del tutor. C<strong>on</strong>tatti e relazi<strong>on</strong>i già bu<strong>on</strong>i si s<strong>on</strong>o<br />

Obbiettivi del tutoraggio a <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stanza<br />

Lo scopo principale dei project work all’interno del progetto EU.FOR.ME era <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

realizzare moduli formativi <str<strong>on</strong>g>sul</str<strong>on</strong>g>le tematiche del turismo accessibile da utilizzare<br />

nella <str<strong>on</strong>g>formazi<strong>on</strong>e</str<strong>on</strong>g> professi<strong>on</strong>ale e nell’istruzi<strong>on</strong>e turistica <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> alto livello.<br />

Essendo EU.FOR.ME un progetto transnazi<strong>on</strong>ale a livello europeo, l’idea era quella<br />

che gli studenti beneficiassero delle c<strong>on</strong>oscenze e delle esperienze realizzate nei<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>fferenti paesi partecipanti nel campo del turismo accessibile. Questa esperienza<br />

può inoltre offrire l’opportunità <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> realizzare moduli formativi che poss<strong>on</strong>o essere<br />

utilizzati c<strong>on</strong> successo nella <str<strong>on</strong>g>formazi<strong>on</strong>e</str<strong>on</strong>g> professi<strong>on</strong>ale e nell’istruzi<strong>on</strong>e turistica nei<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>versi paesi e a livello transnazi<strong>on</strong>ale.<br />

Gli studenti dovevano realizzare un modulo formative <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> 20 ore da sperimentare<br />

alla fine del <str<strong>on</strong>g>corso</str<strong>on</strong>g>. L’argomento <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> questo gruppo <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> lavoro (Project Work no 2) era<br />

"Il prodotto turistico accessibile”<br />

Il modulo doveva integrare le competenze acquisite dagli studenti frequentando il<br />

“Corso <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>formazi<strong>on</strong>e</str<strong>on</strong>g> dei formatori” e sod<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>sfare le esigenze c<strong>on</strong>oscitive degli<br />

20


operatori turistici in merito alle caratteristiche che un prodotto turistico deve avere<br />

per essere c<strong>on</strong>siderato accessibile e agli strumenti da utilizzare per rendere i<br />

prodotti turistici accessibili a tutti.<br />

Nel Project Work gli studenti dovevano essere in grado <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> sviluppare moduli<br />

formativi <str<strong>on</strong>g>sul</str<strong>on</strong>g>le tematiche del turismo accessibile e utilizzare le c<strong>on</strong>oscenze e le<br />

competenze acquisite durante il <str<strong>on</strong>g>corso</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>formazi<strong>on</strong>e</str<strong>on</strong>g>.<br />

Dal punto <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> vista del tutoraggio, gli obbiettivi s<strong>on</strong>o stati quelli <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>videre e<br />

trasmettere le c<strong>on</strong>oscenze e le esperienze europee (scan<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>nave) nel campo del<br />

turismo per tutti, così come i meto<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> della <str<strong>on</strong>g>formazi<strong>on</strong>e</str<strong>on</strong>g> a <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stanza. Un proposito<br />

importante è stato quello <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> supportare gli studenti nello svolgimento <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> un lavoro<br />

in<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>pendente e aut<strong>on</strong>omo.<br />

C<strong>on</strong>tenuti principali e ri<str<strong>on</strong>g>sul</str<strong>on</strong>g>tati del project work 2<br />

I ri<str<strong>on</strong>g>sul</str<strong>on</strong>g>tati del Project Work no 2 corrisp<strong>on</strong>d<strong>on</strong>o molto bene agli obbiettivi che erano<br />

stati stabiliti.<br />

Il modulo formativo "Il prodotto turistico accessibile"<br />

sviluppando i seguenti argomenti principali:<br />

è stato realizzato<br />

- Elementi <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> accessibilità e <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>fferenti prospettive dell’accessibilità<br />

- Caratteristiche <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> un prodotto turistico accessibile<br />

- Strumenti e meto<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> per la valutazi<strong>on</strong>e dell’accessibilità<br />

- Bu<strong>on</strong>e prassi<br />

- C<strong>on</strong>clusi<strong>on</strong>i<br />

Per quanto riguarda il terzo punto, s<strong>on</strong>o state riportate le norme italiane in tema <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

accessibilità e illustrati i meto<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> valutazi<strong>on</strong>e utilizzati in Italia. Questi c<strong>on</strong>tenuti<br />

s<strong>on</strong>o rilevanti fin a quando il modulo formativo viene erogato in Italia, ma poss<strong>on</strong>o<br />

essere facilmente mo<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>ficati e adattati se il modulo formativo viene utilizzato in<br />

altri paesi.<br />

21


Il lavoro è stato realizzato all’interno del gruppo c<strong>on</strong> il mio supporto, in quanto<br />

tutor a <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stanza, e c<strong>on</strong> quello dei docenti del <str<strong>on</strong>g>corso</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>formazi<strong>on</strong>e</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> Assisi.<br />

Esperienze<br />

Dato che il tutoraggio a <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stanza n<strong>on</strong> si basava su una piattaforma ICT, è stato <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

f<strong>on</strong>damentale importanza organizzare alcuni inc<strong>on</strong>tri “faccia a faccia”, uno all’inizio<br />

del lavoro e altri due durante lo svolgimento delle attività.<br />

Dal punto <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> vista dei tutor si ritiene che il lavoro avrebbe probabilmente<br />

beneficiato della possibilità <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> utilizzare più attivamente Internet come strumento<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>formazi<strong>on</strong>e</str<strong>on</strong>g> a <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stanza. La comunicazi<strong>on</strong>e esclusivamente via e-mail n<strong>on</strong> è<br />

sufficiente quando si ha a che fare c<strong>on</strong> argomenti complessi come il turismo<br />

accessibile, dato che ci s<strong>on</strong>o ancora alcune <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>fferenze tra i paesi europei per<br />

quanto riguarda le norme <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> legge e la definizi<strong>on</strong>e del c<strong>on</strong>cetto <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> turismo<br />

accessibile.<br />

Altri aspetti positive e negativi:<br />

+<br />

Possibilità <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> introdurre c<strong>on</strong>cretamente una prospettiva europea nella realizzazi<strong>on</strong>e<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> un prodotto transnazi<strong>on</strong>ale comune che può effettivamente essere utilizzato in<br />

paesi <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>versi.<br />

Esperienza positiva sia per gli studenti che per i tutor, che hanno avuto l’occasi<strong>on</strong>e<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>videre le esperienze tra i <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>versi paesi; aspetto che può avere anche un<br />

impatto positivo nello sviluppo <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> una modalità comune europea <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> intendere il<br />

turismo accessibile.<br />

Il lavoro <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> gruppo è stato importante perchè ha reso necessario prendere in<br />

c<strong>on</strong>siderazi<strong>on</strong>e, nella realizzazi<strong>on</strong>e del modulo formativo, <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>fferenti punti <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> vista e<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>verse competenze.<br />

22


La necessità <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> comunicare in una lingua straniera potrebbe avere anche un<br />

impatto positivo perché obbliga a trovare un linguaggio comune per definire che<br />

cosa sia il turismo accessibile.<br />

Possibilità <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> realizzare collaborazi<strong>on</strong>i fra i tutor (soprattutto Germania/Svezia);<br />

e possibilità per future collaborazi<strong>on</strong>i nelle attvità <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>formazi<strong>on</strong>e</str<strong>on</strong>g> e istruzi<strong>on</strong>e<br />

riguardanti il turismo accessibile<br />

-<br />

Carenza <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> comunicazi<strong>on</strong>e tra i tutor a <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stanza e i docenti/tutor locali. Si<br />

sarebbero dovuti prevedere più tempo e maggiori occasi<strong>on</strong>i <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong>fr<strong>on</strong>to per il<br />

coor<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>namento e la c<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>visi<strong>on</strong>e dei meto<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>-obbiettivi dei project work, della<br />

definizi<strong>on</strong>e <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> turismo accessibile ,etc..<br />

Difficoltà nel rispettare le scadenze (all’interno del gruppo e tra studenti e tutor)<br />

Il <str<strong>on</strong>g>corso</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>formazi<strong>on</strong>e</str<strong>on</strong>g> si sarebbe dovuto tenere in inglese dato che l’utilizzo <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> un<br />

linguaggio comune riferito a tali argomenti si rende necessario già dall’inizio.<br />

Commenti e c<strong>on</strong>clusi<strong>on</strong>i<br />

N<strong>on</strong>ostante le <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>fficoltà, il lavoro previsto è stato realizzato e <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>sp<strong>on</strong>iamo <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> un<br />

prodotto che ha alte potenzialità <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> essere <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>ffuso anche negli altri paesi del<br />

progetto e nel resto d’Europa.<br />

I c<strong>on</strong>tatti e le relazi<strong>on</strong>i instauratesi c<strong>on</strong> gli studenti hanno rappresentato<br />

un’esperienza molto positiva che ha creato nuove prospettive <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> sviluppo in<br />

entrambe le <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>rezi<strong>on</strong>i.<br />

Il metodo utilizzato può essere ulteriormente sviluppato, ad esempio<br />

combinandolo c<strong>on</strong> gli strumenti della <str<strong>on</strong>g>formazi<strong>on</strong>e</str<strong>on</strong>g> a <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stanza, per essere utilizzato<br />

in futuri progetti transnazi<strong>on</strong>ali <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>formazi<strong>on</strong>e</str<strong>on</strong>g> in generale, e all’interno dell’attuale<br />

partenariato <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g> EU.FOR.ME in particolare.<br />

1. Classroom <strong>training</strong> activity<br />

On 9 November 2005, as part of <strong>the</strong> project EU.FOR.ME., classroom <strong>training</strong><br />

activity which began <strong>on</strong> 12 September 2005 and lasted 200 hours and during<br />

which <strong>the</strong> <strong>training</strong> modules foreseen by <strong>the</strong> project were carried out, was<br />

c<strong>on</strong>cluded; <strong>the</strong>re were 18 participants of which 2 au<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>tors; attendance was good<br />

and c<strong>on</strong>stant.<br />

Classroom activities were supported and m<strong>on</strong>itored by <strong>the</strong> Classroom Tutor who<br />

was present during less<strong>on</strong>s.<br />

The purpose of <strong>the</strong> Project is to train <strong>the</strong> professi<strong>on</strong>al figure of <strong>the</strong> “Trainer<br />

specialised in <strong>the</strong> topics of accessible tourism”, who can effectively use <strong>the</strong><br />

knowledge and competencies acquired in <strong>the</strong> work envir<strong>on</strong>ments in which s/he will<br />

be inserted.<br />

The <strong>training</strong> activity was c<strong>on</strong>ducted following four <strong>training</strong> phases:<br />

− Trainer <strong>training</strong><br />

− The tourism system<br />

− The Tourism for all trainer<br />

− Project Work.<br />

During <strong>the</strong> first phase project EU.FOR.ME was presented, an analysis of <strong>the</strong><br />

tourism c<strong>on</strong>text in which <strong>the</strong> project is inserted and from which a need for this<br />

new figure emerged, as well as <strong>the</strong> Partners who explained <strong>the</strong>ir role in <strong>the</strong><br />

project.<br />

Also during this phase <strong>the</strong> <strong>training</strong> units regar<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>ng <strong>the</strong> figure of <strong>the</strong> trainer were<br />

c<strong>on</strong>ducted, provi<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>ng participants with knowledge related to verbal and n<strong>on</strong>-verbal<br />

communicati<strong>on</strong>s, handling group dynamics, an outline of communicati<strong>on</strong>s for a<br />

broader target of users and problem solving techniques to <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>agnose, face and<br />

solve problems of various nature.<br />

The methodology used was face-to-face less<strong>on</strong>s alternated by simulati<strong>on</strong>s, role<br />

playing case stu<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>es.<br />

25


The <strong>training</strong> methodology part was presented with face-to-face less<strong>on</strong>s, during<br />

which <strong>the</strong> various <strong>training</strong> methods were illustrated, learning stages during various<br />

phases of life, regulati<strong>on</strong>s regar<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>ng <strong>training</strong>, focusing attenti<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> <strong>training</strong><br />

interventi<strong>on</strong>s for a broader target of users.<br />

During this module <strong>the</strong> participants expressed <strong>the</strong> need to learn techniques for<br />

planning a <strong>training</strong> acti<strong>on</strong> and <strong>the</strong>refore this was included, giving a general<br />

overview of how a <strong>training</strong> course is planned.<br />

During <strong>the</strong> module for m<strong>on</strong>itoring <strong>the</strong> <strong>training</strong> acti<strong>on</strong>, students were taught to<br />

evacuate before, during and after a <strong>training</strong> acti<strong>on</strong> as well as <strong>the</strong> various<br />

instruments to use: interviews, questi<strong>on</strong>naires, brainstorming.<br />

Finally <strong>the</strong>y were provided with computer know-how, how to use programmes<br />

necessary for c<strong>on</strong>ducting <strong>training</strong> activity, with particular attenti<strong>on</strong> to Power Point.<br />

They were also show aids and computer techniques for a broader user target.<br />

To offer a picture of <strong>the</strong> characteristic traits of <strong>the</strong> tourism scenario, <strong>the</strong> sec<strong>on</strong>d<br />

<strong>training</strong> stage was developed regar<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>ng <strong>the</strong> tourism industry, examining demand,<br />

supply, products and <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stributi<strong>on</strong> channels.<br />

This topic was handled first in a general way and <strong>the</strong>n as part of tourism for all.<br />

After provi<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>ng <strong>the</strong> course participants with an overview of <strong>the</strong> figure of <strong>the</strong> trainer<br />

and of <strong>the</strong> tourism system, <strong>the</strong> third <strong>training</strong> stage focused <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> topic of<br />

accessible tourism.<br />

Since <strong>the</strong> topic of tourism “for all” was unfamiliar to nearly all participants, it was<br />

necessary to go into this in detail, to supply students with a “toolbox” regar<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>ng<br />

<strong>the</strong> topics of accessible tourism.<br />

First <strong>the</strong>y were given an overview of <strong>the</strong> general aspects of accessibility, followed<br />

by an analysis of <strong>the</strong> legislative situati<strong>on</strong>.<br />

Afterwards this topic was g<strong>on</strong>e into in greater depth, <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>scussing <strong>the</strong> meaning,<br />

criteria and evaluati<strong>on</strong> of accessibility; examining <strong>the</strong> IGVAE Methodology, which<br />

provides instruments for surveying <strong>the</strong> accessibility of various structures.<br />

26


Students were also shown <strong>the</strong> project “Italia Per Tutti”, from which <strong>the</strong><br />

methodologies cited above derive.<br />

During his module, besides face-to-face less<strong>on</strong>s, <strong>the</strong>re were outing aimed at<br />

putting <strong>the</strong> knowledge acquired into practice: a “trip to Assisi when course<br />

participants visited <strong>the</strong> city in wheelchairs, thus simulating motor <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>sability and<br />

verifying <strong>the</strong> accessibility of <strong>the</strong> city.<br />

Also with <strong>the</strong> forms of <strong>the</strong> IG-VAE Methodology <strong>the</strong>y analysed <strong>the</strong> real accessibility<br />

of a hotel in Assisi, and <strong>the</strong>n produced a summary of <strong>the</strong> hotel describing what<br />

was found.<br />

In this stage <strong>the</strong> various types of <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>sabilities were illustrated, provi<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>ng an<br />

overview of needs, and understan<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>ng how to welcome <strong>the</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>sabled tourist, <strong>the</strong><br />

attitudes and <strong>the</strong> relati<strong>on</strong>ships to undertake.<br />

During this module students participated in group projects and role playing to<br />

identify with various types of <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>sabilities, attaining greater awareness of specific<br />

needs.<br />

From this point students began to plan a tourism package “for all”, applying all <strong>the</strong><br />

knowledge and competencies acquired during classroom less<strong>on</strong>s.<br />

At <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> first three <strong>training</strong> stages students were evaluated in itinere to<br />

check <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> knowledge acquired, by assigning <strong>the</strong>m topics, <strong>on</strong> which <strong>the</strong>y<br />

prepared a Power Point presentati<strong>on</strong>, which <strong>the</strong>y <strong>the</strong>n presented in class and <strong>on</strong><br />

which <strong>the</strong>y were evaluated by <strong>the</strong>ir teachers.<br />

The 200 hours of <strong>the</strong>ory were very useful for supplying clarificati<strong>on</strong>s <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

professi<strong>on</strong>al figure <strong>the</strong>y would represent at <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> course and <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

labour market in which to “spend” <strong>the</strong> qualificati<strong>on</strong>.<br />

Moreover <strong>the</strong>y were provided new competencies, <strong>on</strong> a very interesting and timely<br />

topic such as tourism for all, coming to understand that tourists with specific<br />

27


needs have <strong>the</strong> same desire to “go <strong>on</strong> holiday” as we all do, if <strong>on</strong>ly <strong>on</strong>e listens to<br />

<strong>the</strong>m and provides detailed and precise informati<strong>on</strong>.<br />

3. Project Works realizati<strong>on</strong><br />

After <strong>the</strong> classroom <strong>training</strong> phase, <strong>the</strong>re was a final <strong>training</strong> stage regar<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>ng<br />

Project Work: 4 experimental educati<strong>on</strong>al modules each 20 hours l<strong>on</strong>g.<br />

For this activity, <strong>the</strong> course participants were <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>vided into four groups, each of<br />

which realised project work with <strong>the</strong> support of <strong>the</strong> at-a-<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stance tutoring of <strong>on</strong>e of<br />

<strong>the</strong> internati<strong>on</strong>al partners.<br />

To carry out <strong>the</strong> project works, <strong>the</strong> course participants had to prepare a series of<br />

less<strong>on</strong>s, structuring <strong>the</strong>m as if <strong>the</strong>y were to go in <strong>the</strong> classroom, realizing <strong>the</strong><br />

following activities:<br />

- identificati<strong>on</strong> of c<strong>on</strong>tents<br />

- preparati<strong>on</strong> of an outline of <strong>the</strong> topics to be dealt with during <strong>the</strong> less<strong>on</strong>s<br />

- preparati<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> <strong>training</strong> c<strong>on</strong>tents<br />

- choice of <strong>the</strong> method of presentati<strong>on</strong> in <strong>the</strong> classroom (slides, PowerPoint<br />

presentati<strong>on</strong> or o<strong>the</strong>r)<br />

- preparati<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> presentati<strong>on</strong><br />

- preparati<strong>on</strong> and drawing up of handouts<br />

The students, as <strong>the</strong>y proceeded in <strong>the</strong> realisati<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> <strong>training</strong> c<strong>on</strong>tent and in<br />

<strong>the</strong> preparati<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> educati<strong>on</strong>al material, were required to perio<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>cally send <strong>the</strong><br />

reference partner-tutor what <strong>the</strong>y have realised for his/her evaluati<strong>on</strong><br />

In <strong>the</strong>ir l<strong>on</strong>g <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stance tutoring activity <strong>the</strong> trans-nati<strong>on</strong>al partners had to:<br />

− Support <strong>the</strong> students in identifying <strong>the</strong> main topics which must be dealt with<br />

in <strong>the</strong> less<strong>on</strong>s, with reference to <strong>the</strong> topic and its breakdown as agreed up<strong>on</strong><br />

during <strong>the</strong> Luxembourg meeting and <str<strong>on</strong>g>report</str<strong>on</strong>g>ed in <strong>the</strong> minutes of <strong>the</strong> meeting<br />

itself<br />

− Suggest <strong>the</strong> c<strong>on</strong><str<strong>on</strong>g>sul</str<strong>on</strong>g>tati<strong>on</strong> of support material (texts, o<strong>the</strong>r publicati<strong>on</strong>s,<br />

Internet sites, etc.) for <strong>the</strong> realisati<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> <strong>training</strong> c<strong>on</strong>tent<br />

− Perio<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>cally m<strong>on</strong>itor <strong>the</strong> progress of <strong>the</strong>ir work suggesting mo<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>ficati<strong>on</strong>s,<br />

integrati<strong>on</strong>s, etc.<br />

− In<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>cate better methods for <strong>the</strong> classroom presentati<strong>on</strong><br />

− Support <strong>the</strong> students in <strong>the</strong> preparati<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> handouts<br />

29


Besides <strong>the</strong> at-a-<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stance tutoring activity, all <strong>the</strong> partnership agreed that three<br />

meetings of <strong>the</strong> course participants with <strong>the</strong>ir respective tutors were necessary.<br />

These meetings were held in Assisi, <strong>on</strong> 14 October 2005 and <strong>on</strong> 5 and 6 December<br />

2005, and in Malaga during <strong>the</strong> internati<strong>on</strong>al meeting <strong>on</strong> 26 and 27 January 2006.<br />

9. Objectives of L<strong>on</strong>g Distance Tutoring<br />

Within <strong>the</strong> EU.FOR.ME project <strong>the</strong> students should develop, <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> basis of <strong>the</strong> skills<br />

acquired during <strong>the</strong> <strong>training</strong> course, <strong>training</strong> modules (project work) <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> topics of<br />

<strong>the</strong> accessibility of <strong>the</strong> tourism product and tourism destinati<strong>on</strong>, of <strong>the</strong> welcoming of<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>sabled customers and of <strong>the</strong> preparati<strong>on</strong> of products suited to <strong>the</strong> identified<br />

target, which can be supplied by public and private instituti<strong>on</strong>s (Instituti<strong>on</strong>s of<br />

higher educati<strong>on</strong>, professi<strong>on</strong>al schools for tourism, Universities, post-university<br />

and/or professi<strong>on</strong>al <strong>training</strong> agencies) which can be inserted into study plans,<br />

educati<strong>on</strong>al programmes and experimental laboratories. In carrying out <strong>the</strong> project<br />

work <strong>the</strong> students should profit from <strong>the</strong> at-a-<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stance tutoring of <strong>the</strong> project’s<br />

European partners and of <strong>the</strong> panel of young people with <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>sabilities. The same<br />

modules planned by <strong>the</strong> students will be used during <strong>the</strong> experimental phase called<br />

for in <strong>the</strong> project.<br />

In <strong>training</strong> unit no. 16 <strong>the</strong> whole group of students had to produce a <strong>training</strong><br />

module lasting 20 hours. This module should be tested by <strong>the</strong> Training for Trainers<br />

course participants at <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> course durati<strong>on</strong>. The topic <strong>on</strong> which <strong>the</strong> project<br />

work should be developed was approved and assigned.<br />

11. Experiences of L<strong>on</strong>g Distance Tutoring<br />

After <strong>the</strong> successful outcome of <strong>the</strong> project work <strong>the</strong> experiences of L<strong>on</strong>g Distance<br />

Tutoring made by <strong>the</strong> tutor can be summarized in <strong>the</strong> following pros and c<strong>on</strong>s:<br />

Pros:<br />

+ Aut<strong>on</strong>omy of <strong>the</strong> students<br />

+ Necessity to work in groups and to coor<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>nate within <strong>the</strong> groups<br />

+ Necessity to point out a resp<strong>on</strong>sible pers<strong>on</strong> or a coor<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>nator to<br />

synchr<strong>on</strong>ise <strong>the</strong> communicati<strong>on</strong> with <strong>the</strong> tutor<br />

+ Respect of <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>scipline and meeting deadlines within <strong>the</strong> group<br />

+ New experiences for students and tutor (cooperating of students and<br />

tutors from <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>fferent European countries, sharing experiences<br />

regar<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>ng <strong>the</strong> main topic of <strong>the</strong> project, sharing of professi<strong>on</strong>al and<br />

practical knowledge, c<strong>on</strong>tributi<strong>on</strong> for better internati<strong>on</strong>al<br />

understan<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>ng)<br />

+ Start of an exchange between students and lecturers from <strong>the</strong><br />

University of Perugia/Assisi and University of Münster (e.g. Erasmus<br />

Exchange Programme)<br />

33


+ Sharing experiences between <strong>the</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>fferent tutors (mainly between<br />

<strong>the</strong> Swe<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>sh and <strong>the</strong> German tutor)<br />

C<strong>on</strong>s:<br />

— Difficulties to meet <strong>the</strong> deadlines (within <strong>the</strong> group and between<br />

students and tutor)<br />

— <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>fficult communicati<strong>on</strong> between students and tutor (from Italian<br />

language into English, from English into German and vice-versa)<br />

— Different methods and understan<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>ng in teaching and learning within<br />

seminar groups in Italy and Germany<br />

12. C<strong>on</strong>clusi<strong>on</strong><br />

All in all, <strong>the</strong> l<strong>on</strong>g <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stance tutoring was very positive, with high potential to be<br />

expanded also at a nati<strong>on</strong>al level in Germany. The three face-to-face meetings<br />

which <strong>the</strong> tutor had with <strong>the</strong> students (14th of October 2005 in Assisi, 5th and 6th<br />

of December 2005 in Assisi and 26th - 27th January 2006 in Malaga) were very<br />

important in order to establish a successful cooperati<strong>on</strong> and an effective work plan<br />

(deadlines, who c<strong>on</strong>tacts who etc.).<br />

For <strong>the</strong> successful final project work <strong>the</strong> students took into c<strong>on</strong>siderati<strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

remarks and advice of <strong>the</strong> tutor. Good c<strong>on</strong>tacts and <strong>the</strong> relati<strong>on</strong>ship have improved<br />

through <strong>the</strong> exchanges and <strong>the</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>fferent meetings. Both sides benefit from <strong>the</strong> l<strong>on</strong>g<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stance tutoring.<br />

Regar<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>ng future projects we would like to suggest more face to face meetings<br />

between participants and tutors.<br />

Pro:<br />

It is a very good experience to test a new educative module with participants in<br />

ano<strong>the</strong>r countries. This is a way of experiencing a str<strong>on</strong>g integrati<strong>on</strong> at <strong>the</strong> same<br />

time am<strong>on</strong>g EU citizens taking into account always <strong>the</strong> YOUTH target group of this<br />

project.<br />

C<strong>on</strong>s:<br />

More <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>rect c<strong>on</strong>tact am<strong>on</strong>g participants and tutors would have been necessary<br />

from both sides from <strong>the</strong> very beginning of <strong>the</strong> project. Tutors would have liked to<br />

express <strong>the</strong>mselves, to tutor more hours face to face, and more often that it was<br />

d<strong>on</strong>e.<br />

Comments:<br />

Due to <strong>the</strong> problem above faced c<strong>on</strong>cerning few meetings tutors/participants, and<br />

even if we c<strong>on</strong>sider as very good <strong>the</strong> final re<str<strong>on</strong>g>sul</str<strong>on</strong>g>t, we would like to suggest <strong>the</strong> fact<br />

of more face to face meetings participants/tutors in eventual future projects.<br />

Re<str<strong>on</strong>g>sul</str<strong>on</strong>g>ts:<br />

As above in<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>cated, we c<strong>on</strong>sider very good <strong>the</strong> final product. It is too so<strong>on</strong> to<br />

speak about real re<str<strong>on</strong>g>sul</str<strong>on</strong>g>ts but <strong>the</strong> experience up to this point seems to in<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>cate a<br />

great projecti<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> product at an educati<strong>on</strong>al and social level.<br />

Acquired experience:<br />

For future projects, when dealing with l<strong>on</strong>g <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stance tutoring it cannot be forgotten<br />

to plan exactly specific “appointments” between tutor-students as well as <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>fferent<br />

means of communicati<strong>on</strong>s must be organised better. It is important to point out<br />

<strong>the</strong> students <strong>the</strong> importance of keeping established deadlines for submitting work<br />

and c<strong>on</strong>tacting <strong>the</strong>ir tutor/s.<br />

Preliminaries :<br />

36


As it has already been said, a c<strong>on</strong>tact at least is very important before starting a<br />

l<strong>on</strong>g-<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stance tutoring to create links between <strong>the</strong> pers<strong>on</strong>s. All students and tutors<br />

pointed out that <strong>the</strong> three face-to-face meetings were essential to establish a<br />

fruitful cooperati<strong>on</strong> and an effective work plan.<br />

It is also easier to fix rules in face-to-face (deadlines, who c<strong>on</strong>tacts who,…)<br />

Normally <strong>the</strong> best way to proceed is a mix between virtual and presential<br />

meetings.<br />

Pro of l<strong>on</strong>g <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stance tutoring<br />

- Aut<strong>on</strong>omy of <strong>the</strong> students<br />

- Necessity to work in group (for <strong>the</strong> students) and to coor<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>nate<br />

- Necessity to point out a resp<strong>on</strong>sible or a coor<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>nator to synchr<strong>on</strong>ise <strong>the</strong><br />

sen<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>ngs and <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>spatching of answers<br />

- Respect of <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>scipline and deadlines<br />

C<strong>on</strong>s of l<strong>on</strong>g <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stance tutoring<br />

- Difficulties to respect <strong>the</strong> deadlines<br />

- Difficulties to communicate (<strong>the</strong> informati<strong>on</strong> is summarised, <strong>the</strong> nuances<br />

are not easy to understand, commentaries are not lively,...)<br />

Comments,<br />

- After <strong>the</strong> meeting in Perugia, we fixed a calendar and decided to exchange,<br />

by mail, all <strong>the</strong> documents every friday.<br />

- It seems that <strong>the</strong>re were lacks of communicati<strong>on</strong> and synchr<strong>on</strong>isati<strong>on</strong> inside<br />

<strong>the</strong> group that influences <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> exchanges with <strong>the</strong> tutor<br />

- The <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>fference of knowledge in English <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>dn’t facilitate <strong>the</strong> communicati<strong>on</strong> , a<br />

lot of informati<strong>on</strong> have been sent in Italian. Youngsters of <strong>the</strong> youth panel<br />

in Luxembourg almost d<strong>on</strong>’t speak English, so <strong>the</strong>re were lots of work in<br />

translating documents to English or French.<br />

37


- There were no c<strong>on</strong>tacts between <strong>the</strong> tutors, (for what I know) which could<br />

have been a good thing.<br />

Re<str<strong>on</strong>g>sul</str<strong>on</strong>g>ts, acquired experience<br />

- Despite <strong>the</strong> little lack of coor<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>nati<strong>on</strong>, all <strong>the</strong> work has been d<strong>on</strong>e and <strong>the</strong><br />

course is finished. The students took <strong>the</strong> remarks in c<strong>on</strong>siderati<strong>on</strong>. Good<br />

c<strong>on</strong>tacts and <strong>the</strong> relati<strong>on</strong>ship has improved through <strong>the</strong> exchanges and <strong>the</strong><br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>fferent meetings.<br />

- It was very positive and interesting<br />

Objectives of L<strong>on</strong>g Distance Tutoring<br />

The main aim of <strong>the</strong> project works within <strong>the</strong> EU.FOR.ME project was to develop<br />

<strong>training</strong> modules <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> topic of accessible touism, targeted and tailor-made to<br />

suit professi<strong>on</strong>al <strong>training</strong> and educati<strong>on</strong> in tourism <strong>on</strong> higher levels.<br />

As EU.FOR.ME is an European-wide transnati<strong>on</strong>al project, <strong>the</strong> idea was to let <strong>the</strong><br />

student benefit from experiences and knowledge made in <strong>the</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>fferent partipating<br />

countries in <strong>the</strong> field of accessible tourism. This could also be a possibility in order<br />

to produce <strong>training</strong> modules that also very well could suit <strong>the</strong> tourism <strong>training</strong> and<br />

educati<strong>on</strong> in <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>fferent countries and <strong>on</strong> a transnati<strong>on</strong>al level.<br />

The students should produce a <strong>training</strong> module of 20 hours, to be tested at <strong>the</strong><br />

end of <strong>the</strong> course. The topic of this group's work (Project Work no 2) was<br />

"The accessible tourism product".<br />

The module should integrate <strong>the</strong> skills acquired by <strong>the</strong> students al<strong>on</strong>g <strong>the</strong><br />

"Training for trainers" course, and satisfy <strong>the</strong> needs am<strong>on</strong>g tourism operators for<br />

specific knowledge about <strong>the</strong> characteristics of a tourism product that could be<br />

39


c<strong>on</strong>sidered as accessible; and <strong>the</strong> instruments of making tourism products<br />

accessible for all.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> Project Work, <strong>the</strong> students should be able to develop <strong>training</strong> modules <strong>on</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> topic accessible tourism and make use of <strong>the</strong> knowledge and skills attained<br />

in <strong>the</strong> <strong>training</strong> course.<br />

The objectives from a tutoring perspective has been to share and c<strong>on</strong>vey<br />

knowledge and experiences from a European (and Scan<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>navian) perspective in<br />

<strong>the</strong> field of accessible tourism, and <strong>the</strong> method of l<strong>on</strong>g <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stance learning. One<br />

important purpose has been to<br />

support <strong>the</strong> students <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> basis of an independent and aut<strong>on</strong>omous work.<br />

Main c<strong>on</strong>tent and re<str<strong>on</strong>g>sul</str<strong>on</strong>g>ts of project work 2<br />

The re<str<strong>on</strong>g>sul</str<strong>on</strong>g>ts of <strong>the</strong> Project Work no 2 corresp<strong>on</strong>ds very well to <strong>the</strong> targets that has<br />

been set.<br />

The <strong>training</strong> module "The accessible tourism product" has been built up<strong>on</strong><br />

following head subjects:<br />

- Elements of accessibility and <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>fferent perspectives of accessibility<br />

- Characteristics of an accessible tourism product<br />

- Instruments and methods for evaluati<strong>on</strong> of accessibility<br />

- Best practises<br />

- C<strong>on</strong>clusi<strong>on</strong>s<br />

In <strong>the</strong> third part, to evaluate accessibility, <strong>the</strong> existing laws in Italy and methods<br />

used in Italy has been presented. This is relevant as l<strong>on</strong>g as <strong>the</strong> <strong>training</strong> module is<br />

presented in Italy, and can very easy be changed and adjusted, when used in<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r countries.<br />

40


The work has been developed within <strong>the</strong> group with support and advices from me<br />

as a l<strong>on</strong>g <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stance tutor and from <strong>the</strong> resource pers<strong>on</strong>s at <strong>the</strong> <strong>training</strong> course in<br />

Experiences<br />

As this l<strong>on</strong>g <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stance tutoring were not based <strong>on</strong> an ICT platform, it was of<br />

essential importance to organize some face-to-face meetings, at <strong>the</strong> beginning of<br />

<strong>the</strong> work and twice al<strong>on</strong>g <strong>the</strong> process. One experience, at least from <strong>the</strong> tutors<br />

point of view, is that <strong>the</strong> work should probably have benefit from of having <strong>the</strong><br />

possibility to use Internet more actively as a tool for l<strong>on</strong>g <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stance learning.<br />

Communicati<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong>ly by e-mail is not enough when dealing with a complicated<br />

subject as accessible tourism, fur<strong>the</strong>rmore as <strong>the</strong>re still might exist some<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>fferences between <strong>the</strong> European countries in legislati<strong>on</strong> and <strong>the</strong> understan<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>ng of<br />

accessible tourism as a c<strong>on</strong>cept.<br />

Some o<strong>the</strong>r + and -:<br />

+<br />

The possibility to bring in an European perspective in a very c<strong>on</strong>crete way, in<br />

order to create a comm<strong>on</strong>, trans-nati<strong>on</strong>al product that really can be used in<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>fferent countries.<br />

Positive experiences both for students and <strong>the</strong> tutors, to share experiences<br />

between <strong>the</strong> countries; which also might have a positive impact <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

development of an European comm<strong>on</strong> understan<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>ng of accessible tourism.<br />

Important to work toge<strong>the</strong>r in groups because of <strong>the</strong> necessity of <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>fferent<br />

perspectives and competences in developing <strong>the</strong> module.<br />

The necessity to communicate in a foreign language might also have a positive<br />

impact <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> product in order to find comm<strong>on</strong> words and ways to express what<br />

accessible tourism is.<br />

Possibilities to develop <strong>the</strong> co-operati<strong>on</strong> between tutors (mainly<br />

Germany/Sweden);<br />

and possibilities for future co-operati<strong>on</strong> in <strong>training</strong> and educati<strong>on</strong> of accessible<br />

tourism.<br />

-<br />

Lack of communicati<strong>on</strong> between l<strong>on</strong>g <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>stance tutors and local teachers/resource<br />

pers<strong>on</strong>s. There should have been more time and possibilities foreseen i e for<br />

coor<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>nati<strong>on</strong> and a comm<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>scussi<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> objectives-methods of <strong>the</strong> project<br />

work, <strong>the</strong> comm<strong>on</strong> understan<str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>ng of accessibility e t c.<br />

Difficulties to respect <strong>the</strong> deadlines (within <strong>the</strong> group and between students-tutor)<br />

The <strong>training</strong> course as a whole should have been held in English as a comm<strong>on</strong><br />

language for <strong>the</strong> subject is necessary from <strong>the</strong> very beginning.<br />

Comments and c<strong>on</strong>clusi<strong>on</strong>s<br />

Despite <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>fficulties and challenges, <strong>the</strong> work has been brought to an end, and we<br />

have a product that has a high potential to be spread in our <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>fferent countries<br />

and <strong>the</strong> rest of EU.<br />

The c<strong>on</strong>tacts and relati<strong>on</strong>ships with <strong>the</strong> students was a very positive experience<br />

that hopefully brought new perspectives in both <str<strong>on</strong>g>di</str<strong>on</strong>g>recti<strong>on</strong>s.<br />

The method used can be fur<strong>the</strong>r developed, i e combined with ICT-tools, to be<br />

used in future trans-nati<strong>on</strong>al <strong>training</strong> projects in general, and am<strong>on</strong>g <strong>the</strong> existing<br />

partnership of EU.FOR.ME in particular.<br />
