Background

The reason of application for this project was to realise and implement the idea of the DIG-GSW project which was created based on the common need of the partner's organizations for the development of qualifications for adult trainers on the national and European level in terms of promoting global citizenship through "Global Social Witnessing". This project is complementary to other projects already carried out by the participating organizations. The DIG-GSW project thus needed to be carried out transnationally as this made it possible for partners from different EU Member States with complementary expertise and interests in the topic adult training and technology, to exchange and pool their knowledge/resources to contribute to developing a novel adult training toolkit. Moreover, the synergy between international organizations and adults, guaranteed the knowledge and comprehension of different cultural realities and stimulated intercultural dialogue.
