In preparation for the application, the goals in the project were agreed upon together with all partner organisations. The overarching common approach in the consortium for the European exploration was the theme "Analogue - Digital". This aimed at improving innovative approaches to the use of digital, virtual, ICT methods in AE in connection with real experience in the living environments. This applies to methods for teaching and learning, but also for communicating in general, in management, training, of people, organisations, at local, regional, national, European, international level. The objectives were specified with regard to the needs and requirements of the institutions. Depending on the tasks of those involved in teaching and learning in AE, the objectives were formulated for guidance, for inclusion, for communication and for the innovative combination of traditional analogue methods with digital-virtual formats, in urban or rural environments, in the natural environment, etc. The objectives were to be achieved through the use of the AE tools. The aim was to make the knowledge gained usable both for the people involved in their field of activity and for the institutions at different levels of responsibility.
Based on the experiences of a previous KA1 project in the action "Mobility of educational staff in adult education", which was also evaluated as "best practice", the interest of both the previously participating organisations and additional partner institutions to actively participate in mobilities grew. The STVG sees its responsibility firstly to pick up on this interest, secondly to strengthen and expand it and thirdly to take concrete initiative to extend, deepen and strengthen the successful approaches to mobility in adult education of Styrian institutions. The request was made by all consortium partners to take on the role of coordinating an extended, broadened, deepening mobility project, The expansion of the consortium from 3 partner organisations to 8 in the present consortium proves the motivating effect of the previous project and the effectiveness of the communication and dissemination of the results. The STVG used this commitment and motivation to contribute to a sustainable strengthening of European mobility in the field of adult education with preparatory, organising and coordinating activities.
