As a concept the Basic Adult Education Course - BAEC, is meant to activate the participants through practice and dialogue. To cover this concept the course incorporates practical assignments with the illustration of various theories within the field of adult pedagogy.

The main prupose of the basic course is to provide the participants with teaching skills, enabling them to plan, carry out and evaluate the adult learning process. During the course the participants develop pedagogical and personal competence relevant to their skills.
