TROP Methodology©
„An individual cannot be taught actually. There can be only conditions created that enable and support individual’s learning process”.
TROP Methodology© is a profound way to support development of people, teams, organizations and their stakeholders. TROP Methodology© is an effective and repeatedly verified method of providing stimulation to activity in people’s professions and environments which objectives are:
Activation and integration within professionals’ networks
Building of social capital in local communities
Social activation, preventing unemployment
Implementation of social initiatives
Preventing marginalization of social groups
Positive change within social systems, education, public health etc
Resolving and managing social conflicts
Building of social networks connected by common goals
Building of modern business, non-government and government organizations
TROP Methodology© is based on 3 Pilars:
- Striving for Integration of Systems
- Learning By Doing
- Development Driven by Values
What is Action Learning?
It is organized, multidisciplinary process of knowledge-sharing and common learning as well as the process of creation of solutions and making effective decisions. The true cooperation between people is the basis for the process.
Action Learning can be fulfilled on the individual or team level. The latter one operates through working out the process of setting up goals and their deployment by all team members. Action Learning applies also to the organizational level. Then the whole concept lies in deploying the learning process at the organizational level, the selection of groups and their priorities.
Working with TROP Methodology resembles the contexture or fixing of social network as it works through bringing together the pieces that used to be unassembled before the process. One must remember that the large amount of energy is essential to be put in the integration process and small inattention may annihilate the whole learning process.
