ACTION METHOD EDUCATION CENTER
WHAT WE STAND FOR
The use of Morenian action methods is not a technique, but an ethical and epistemological position.
From this position it follows that:
- knowledge does not come from the outside, but emerges from participants’ perspectives, relationships, and actions, cognitive understanding is inseparable from emotional and performative experience, participants do not merely talk about “cases”, but create, examine, and transform situations,
- learning does not transmit isolated pieces of knowledge, but develops professional judgment grounded in relational and systemic thinking.
We teach methods that support the exploration and transformation of group-based and social questions, grounded in Morenian action methods and applied meaningfully within contemporary educational and research contexts.
Action methods support understanding, research, learning, and action in a highly productive way, as they:
- make visible the perspectives and roles of all stakeholders involved in a given issue,
- recognize emotional and embodied experience, alongside cognition, as a legitimate mode of knowledge production,
- create space for the action-based analysis of institutional and group dynamics, the testing of possible interventions, and the transformation of situations.
LEARNING PATHWAYS
From experience to professional competence.
AMEC offers a system of interconnected learning experiences. These learning pathways enable participants to:
- experience action methods firsthand, across different thematic contexts, as tools for understanding and intervention (experiential learning),
- gradually develop practical competence in action methods, focusing on specific techniques within learning groups,
- apply action methods to group, institutional, and social questions within supervised learning processes.
Some trainings focus specifically on methodological learning and practice, while others are topic-centered, experiential formats, where the method functions as a means of collective inquiry, rather than as an object of instruction.
LEARNING UNITS, BADGES AND PROFESSIONAL RECOGNITION
Making Professional Growth Visible
Selected AMEC trainings are accompanied by learning badges that acknowledge experienced learning processes and demonstrated competencies.
The purpose of these badges is to:
- make learning pathways visible and traceable,
- provide feedback on participants’ professional development,
- connect learning experiences into coherent, cumulative learning trajectories.
