Through the analysis of the questionnaires and the discussions of the results, during the planning meetings, the objectives to be achieved through the preparatory activities, the mobilities and the dissemination activities were identified: - Promote the initiation of internationalization and modernization processes in the CPIAs; - Promote the mobility abroad of teachers working in the field of adult education; - Improve the professional skills of the CPIA staff; - Acquire skills aimed at responding to the training needs of adult students, in particular migrants and asylum seekers; - Promote intercultural awareness of staff members; - Develop the language skills of the CPIA staff; - Compare teaching methodologies and practices with the staff of the host organizations; - Acquire new skills at an organizational level; - Compare adult education management practices in Europe; - Encourage the growth of collaborations between colleagues who work in the CPIA; - Increase the number of CPIAs participating in Erasmus + projects; - Promote the creation of networks between Italian CPIAs and European institutes in order to create new partnerships.
The "Competences for the CPIA" project was presented to encourage the integration of adult students (mostly foreigners) of the CPIA with a view to multilingual teaching capable of achieving, both teachers and students the acquisition of linguistic-communicative skills in the languages of EU countries, fundamental for the European dimension for the creation of a cultural awareness and for the development of the values of respect and tolerance. Before presenting the project, the teachers involved in the work group prepared a questionnaire for the identification of training needs which was administered at each location to all staff members. Subsequently, the coordinating teacher took care of the tabulation of the results of the questionnaire, from which emerged the improvement areas on which the mobility activities should have focused: teaching methodologies, linguistic area, interculture and management of European projects. The project was therefore oriented towards the search for quality and educational development, the inclusion of the European dimension in the life of the Institute, its internalization and the enrichment of the sense of community through the knowledge of new realities and cultures.
