The goals of the project are directly related to the needs and interests of 3 main target groups: adult learners that do not possess basic abilities, have low qualifications, or learners at adult education school/centre; adult educators that engage in consulting, training, educating based on creativity, photography actualization, and work related cultural activities of adult groups; official and associated partners that aim to develop international partnerships create high quality resources for adult education.
Project was prepared with intention to foster cognition, creativity, and community inclusion via one of the most easily accessible technologies and art forms - photography. The project aimed to help create and develop sustainable international relations, educate and improve the skills and competencies of those participating in adult education, which is necessary in order to make creative and innovative decisions, control current challenges and risks, encourage intercultural interaction and creative citizen self-awareness. Project partners observed that the photography field has not been sufficiently explored in order to create a synergy between adult education and culture. Education andragogues and specialists of the cultural field lacked skills, knowledge, and resources, as well as international best practices and consultations on how to adapt technology in adult education and exercise it as a useful education tool in order to familiarize with the history of the region, cultural heritage, improve creativity, taste for art, foreign language skills, share information, get involved in community activities, improve opportunities for quality leisure time.
