Training of teachers
The MOOC (massive open online course) of "Open Government Education" brings the fundamental knowledge about Open Government and its pillars: transparency and accountability, public integrity, citizen participation and collaboration. The videos of the MOOC can be consulted in the INTEF’s YouTube space.
The MOOC is especially recommended for teachers and the main objective is to train them to transfer to the students of Primary, Secondary and Baccalaureate Education the principles, experiences and values of Open Government.
The methodology is participatory and encourages the contribution to an open and responsible society, in which citizens participate in public affairs. Its online format allows participants flexibility in their execution, as well as obtaining useful resources for the implementation of educational projects in their schools.
These training experiences have been organized by INTEF, in collaboration with the General Directorate of Public Governance, and have been aimed at a broad profile of people interested in education and Open Government.
