With the transition of partner countries to the market economy, globalization of world markets, intensification of competition before domestic entities, problems arise in finding new ways to ensure long-term existence and success. Today, strengthening basic skills and developing key competences for adults is a requirement of time.
Often the key to success in the fight against competition is the social inclusion of disadvantaged groups.
The main goal of the Project is to educate adults on strengthening basic skills and developing key competences of socially excluded people.
Specific objectives:
– identifying the educational needs of adults from disadvantaged groups
– activation and motivation of target group representatives to undertake active educational activities
– effective tools for raising key competences of adults
– promoting the concept of lifelong learning among adults
– strengthening basic skills representatives of disadvantaged groups
– developing the key competences of excluded people as the key to a better tomorrow
– presentation of examples of successfully implemented projects on adult education and social inclusion.
Participants:
– Short-term joint staff training events – 7 employees (including volunteers) from partner organizations (during 7 days),
– Blended mobility of adult learners – 5 adults, including the socially excluded from Poland, Croatia, Serbia and Italy (during 5 days).
Education in Project will contain 7 elements:
– 4 Short-term joint staff training events:
1. Identifying the educational needs of adults from disadvantaged groups
2. Activation and motivation of target group representatives to undertake active educational activities
3. Effective tools for raising key competences of adults
4. Promotion of the concept of lifelong learning among adults
– 3 Blended mobility of adult learners:
1. My basic skills
2. Education is the key to a better tomorrow
3. Examples of successfully implemented projects on adult education and social inclusion.
Classes implemented as part of the Project will be interactive, based not only on the transfer of knowledge, but primarily exercise through role-plays, quizzes, tests, presentations, case studies and seminars.
Classes will include group and individual work. The trainers will be people who not only have knowledge and experience in the subjects they will discuss, but will be practitioners who use this knowledge in everyday life. In addition to strictly educational activities, participants will learn about the culture, art and history of the host countries, thanks to which it will be possible to understand the national features of the Partners, get to know different cultures, and overthrow many stereotypes.
This will definitely facilitate future transnational cooperation and strengthen European ties.
The international nature of the Project will allow the transfer of good practices between participants to support personal development of representatives of disadvantaged groups.
As a result of participating in the Project, its participants:
– become acquainted with the methods of identifying the educational needs of adults from disadvantaged groups
– broaden their knowledge of the activation and motivation of target group representatives to undertake active educational activities
– learn about effective tools for raising key competences of adults
– broaden their knowledge of the promotion of lifelong learning among adults
– strengthen the basic skills of disadvantaged groups’ representatives
– develop the key competences of excluded people as the key to a better tomorrow
– present examples of successfully implemented projects on adult education and social inclusion.
As a result of combined mobility, in which there will be almost half of participants with fewer opportunities, the barriers resulting from general stereotypes related to the personal development of socially excluded people will be level, key competences of participants will be developed. Socially excluded people will strengthen their faith in themselves, their own strength and the possibility of positive changes in their lives.
The results of the Project implementation will be actively used in the long term not only by direct participants of the project but also among other employees in organization to which the participants will return. Electronic notes and a film on the project activities will be available for download on the Partners’ websites and the Project fan page and sent to the institutions of all Project participants. Not only people involved in supporting the personal development of socially excluded people will be able to use notes, tests, film and evaluation results, but also students, lecturers and other people interested in theoretical inclusion and social economy.
