CONTEXT The R.E.M.I.D.A. project intends to contribute to countering the problem of social exclusion of over-45 disadvantaged adults, in line with the actions implemented by Member States. Unemployment in the more adult age group risks to become crystallized over time, also because it often concerns poorly-educated workers, with low qualifications or with out-of-date qualifications and skills, immigrants or ex-prisoners. Therefore, the actions supporting the social inclusion of the over 45 adults at risk are fundamental. AIM The project "REMIDA - Renewed Models for the Inclusion of Disadvantaged Adults" was created with the aim of supporting the social and working inclusion of adults 45+ at risk of exclusion (low qualifications and skills, obsolete skills, immigrants...) by defining and testing an innovative model of intervention, aimed at achieving personal empowerment and enhancing the informal and non-formal skills / abilities of this target group. PARTICIPANTS NUMBER AND PROFILE The direct target group (at least 50% women): - operators working for the social inclusion of disadvantaged adults; - adults 45+ at risk of social-work exclusion; - representatives and / or managers of adult education, training, assessment and guidance organizations; - experts / researchers in adult education methodologies; - representatives of the PA. ACTIVITIES DESCRIPTION The project schedules the realization of activities such as: - IO1: "DEFINITION AND EXPERIMENTATION OF A NEW MODEL OF INTERVENTION FOR THE SOCIAL AND WORKING INCLUSION OF ADULTS OVER 45 AT RISK OF EXCLUSION ": - JOINT STAFF TRAINING EVENT (C1); - dissemination activities: 8 MULTIPLIERS EVENT in the countries of the participating organizations. METHODOLOGY TO BE USED IN THE REALIZATION OF THE PROJECT The proposed methodology is the result of the union, within a pedagogical framework for adult education, between the Lego Serious Play model, adapted to the target audience, and the consolidated methods for the assessment and orientation of adults. MAIN INTANGIBLE RESULTS 1. definition of an innovative model of intervention for the personal empowerment of 45+ adults at risk of social-working exclusion. This model comes from adaptation of the Lego Serious Play principles to the adult 45+ target and its alignment with consolidated methodologies for adult education, training assessment and orientation. 2. upskilling of operators of adult education centers, engaged in activities in favor of adults 45+ at risk of social exclusion. 3. support to European processes for enhancing informal and non-formal skills / abilities of this target group MAIN TANGIBLE RESULTS R3 - Final version of the intervention model R5 - Guidelines R6-R8 - Macro and micro design of the training course R9 - Environment for online learning R10 - n.8 local pilots R15 - n.8 case studies R16 - Training course for operators MAIN IMPACT The R.E.M.I.D.A. project will have a significant impact on partner organizations and participating operators, stakeholders and key actors at the local, national and EU levels. The project's expected impact on adults in a situation of disadvantage is to increase their opportunities for social and work inclusion, (re) inclusion in active participation processes and in the labor market, as well as to enhance their life experiences, increasing their self-esteem and awareness.
The project "RE.M.I.D.A. - REnewed Models for the Inclusion of Disadvantaged Adults" was developed with the aim of supporting the social and professional inclusion of adults aged >45 at risk of exclusion (due to their low or obsolete qualifications and skills or due to their social extraction being immigrants or ex-convicts) by defining and testing an innovative model of intervention, aimed at achieving personal empowerment and enhancing the informal and non-formal skills / abilities of this target group.
The RE.M.I.D.A. project intends to contribute to countering the problem of social exclusion of disadvantaged adults aged >45, in line with the actions implemented in this field by EU Member States. Unemployment in the more adult age group risks to become crystallized over time, mainly because it often concerns poorly educated people, with low qualifications or with out-of-date qualifications and skills, immigrants or ex-convicts. Therefore, the actions supporting the social inclusion of unemployed adults aged >45 are fundamental. NEEDS: In line with the priorities of the Renewed European Agenda for Adult Learning, the project addressed the following needs: - need to increase the participation of unemployed adults aged >45 in all types of adult education (formal, nonformal, and informal learning), in order for them to acquire new professional skills, increase their active citizenship, and boost their personal development and satisfaction; - need to develop new skills in adults aged over 45, enabling them to meet the needs of the labor market.
