The aim of the project was: to implement new tools and methods for teaching adults, to develop ongoing educational activities and to achieve higher efficiency of adult education provided by the Applicant. This objective is in line with the Erasmus+ programme guidelines, influencing the promotion of quality improvement, innovative excellence and internationalisation of education and training institutions, the creation of a European area of lifelong learning, the dissemination of good practices and enhanced cooperation between partners from different EU countries. We hoped that the project would allow the team to improve their skills and become acquainted with European good practices in education and work with memory, multiculturalism and heritage, which - thanks to the dissemination of the knowledge collected among the Centre's team - would translate into the introduction of improvements and new working methods, better adapted to the expectations of the audience and making more effective use of modern, interactive communication tools. The modification of existing working techniques will in turn increase interest in the Centre's offer and strengthen the European dimension of its adult education activities.
We wanted to strengthen the competences of our institution's team in the field of adult education, especially in terms of language skills, European cooperation and knowledge of new methods of heritage interpretation in adult education. The project responded to the needs of: -the increasing number of individual visitors and foreign groups, making it necessary to provide more the need for more staff with communicative language skills; -the revision of existing methods of working with memory and heritage, the need for new techniques and tools for working with heritage; -international functioning of the Shtetl Routes requiring the implementation of new tools for the management of the Cultural Route -growing international cooperation of the Centre necessitating the introduction of tools in the field of "audience management" and new techniques for adult education; - the need to enhance the attractiveness of festivals and meetings organised here - plans for the creation of a new memorial and educational site on the course of the Reinhardt Action generating the need to develop new educational materials and forms of communicating this history; -insufficient promotion of the Centre's activities, especially in the European dimension
