In line with the European Agenda for Adult Learning priorities and the Council Recommendation on Upskilling Pathways, the project aims to develop a TOOL KIT with effective outreach strategies adopted in order to improve adult participation, promote the acquisition of key competences (literacy, financial, numeracy and digital competences) and enhance quality of opportunities provided. The idea of ADOPT A GRANNY, FABLABS, DIGITAL CHAMPIONS, ONE STOP SUPPORT CENTRE, MOBILE HUBS, ROLE MODELS and others will be tested, developed and assessed based on the needs of each partner country whereas at the end a series of MOTIVATIONAL PACKS with videos will be prepared to present each of this strategies with specific guidelines for further exploitation. The renewed European Agenda for Adult Learning set specific priorities for 2015-2020, namely the "Supply and take-up priority calling for a significant increase in supply of high-quality adult learning provision, especially in literacy, numeracy and digital skills, and increase in take-up through effective outreach, guidance and motivation strategies which TARGET THE GROUPS MOST IN NEED". The target groups are the groups of vulnerable, disadvantaged and marginalised adults (especially women) and the adult educators, social workers, trainers any professional working with these groups of adults. The project is planned to be completed in 30 months based on a research cycle plan divided into 3 main interrelated stages showing development and continuation. The I.O.s are developed in a series of overlapping outputs phases incorporating research and analysis, design and development, testing and implementation and validation of project outputs. Through the activities the consortium aims to provide the EU community with the ALL4INCLUSION MOTIVATIONALTOOL KIT which is a COMPLETE READY TO IMPLEMENT KIT: (1) to strengthen Adult educators profiles and as a result upgrading the quality of the adult learning provided and (2) to promote the acquisition and validation of key competences of disadvantaged adult learners (especially women) with digital, literacy, numeracy, financial and entrepreneurial skills to ensure access, participation and inclusion in the digitalised economy as active citizens, employees or employers. By the end of the project the MOTIVATIONAL TOOL KIT will include: - a collection of EFFECTIVE OUTREACH STRATEGIES adopted by various organisations in order to improve the participation of such as the DIGITAL CHAMPIONS, ONE STOP SUPPORT CENTRE, ADOPT A GRANNY, INTERNET CAFE FOR SENIORS, MOBILE HUBS, ROLE MODELS, EU KIDS AND MUMS accompanied with motivational pack-video - MAPPING e-TOOL to record the provision of ADULT LEARNING opportunities in partner countries at the regional level using Google maps with main focus on the successful strategies for AL - a TARGETED and VALIDATED USKILLING PATHWAY PROGRAMME Partners from six different European Countries will work together aiming to increase the number of adults attending LLL.
The original goal of the project was to promote the social participation of adults with special challenges, such as lack of education or physical disabilities, by improving key competencies. In order to achieve this goal, strategies were designed for teachers to offer and implement appropriate courses. Due to the Corona pandemic and the resulting challenges for teachers, the focus in the further course of the project was on developing concepts for courses in which social participation was to be strengthened through the promotion of digital competencies. Furthermore, the focus was specifically on the target group of senior citizens, as this group was particularly challenged by the need to shape social participation digitally due to contact restrictions, but was often unable to do so due to a lack of digital skills.
In line with the priorities of the European Agenda for Adult Learning and the Council Recommendation on. "Upskilling Pathways", the project aimed to improve the social inclusion participation of adults through the promotion of key competences. The renewed European Agenda for Adult Learning identified specific priorities for the period 2015-2020, namely. "Supply and Uptake" priority, which calls for a significant increase in the supply of high-quality adult learning activities that promote these key competences and, consequently, the social inclusion of participants. However, Europe is still far from the ET2020 target of 15% of adults in education by 2020. According to EUROSTAT, only 10.9% of adults in the EU28 participated in lifelong learning in 2017. These figures show rates for the general adult population, but the situation is much worse when it comes to people who have difficulty participating in forms of adult education due to low education or physical impairments. It is these needs for motivational and inclusive strategies that the project sought to address.
