What makes GrowEdu a unique educational program?
Practice, Learn, Step Up
The core of GrowEdu is Practice, Learn, Step Up; an efficient educational model in which the participants learn through experiences and team activities, and then apply the acquired skills in some creative projects, with a positive impact in the local communities.
Internationalism
The workshops are delivered in English by international trainers, coached by the Scoala de Valori trainer’s team and other professionals. The participants can enjoy the savor of multiculturalism and explore new cultures without leaving their own hometowns.
