The project partners wanted to achieve the following: 1) to strengthen their capacity by providing a network with educators, incl. those with limited opportunities, who have gained access to international non-formal adult education programs; 2) to promote their networks' educators' inclusion in local and international training activities, thus actively strengthening the European dimension. By implementing the project the partners intended to significantly meet the needs of NGOs of their networks for educated staff who are able to provide knowledge and support to NGOs; through trainings the knowledge and skills of NGO educators to increase the awareness in areas where they have insufficient knowledge (social inclusion, etc.); to be able to promote the NGO participation in Erasmus+ programs and the introduction of the European dimension, which will increase the opportunities of NGO networks to promote social security both in their own countries and throughout Europe, as well as provide an opportunity to attract an adequate funding. It was also expected that through mutual cooperation the partners' capacity will be strengthened and will positively affect the achievement of the planned objectives in raising the competencies of NGOs.
The project was applied with the aim of solving the issue of increasing the capacity of NGOs with the involvement of educators and increasing the knowledge of these educators to strengthen adult training, which is supported by the "Erasmus" program. Partners as NGO networks (including a total of at least 112 NGOs) needed to expand the circle of educators with this project, because only in rare cases these associated organizations by themselves were able to prepare the applications to the funders. The target group - employees of NGO networks from Latvia, Estonia, Sweden, Italy and Greece, engaged experts and volunteer specialists was interested in social rights and social inclusion, gender equality, innovations in training, access to the digital environment and advocacy, which relates to the areas of activity of these networks in general. All five partners for the last 7-30 years had dedicated their activities to increasing the knowledge and skills of NGO employees and strengthening their networks. The unsatisfactory socio-economic situation of the NGO members in Europe in the last two years encouraged the demand for new knowledge that can be provided by educated workers. The partner motivation - international inclusion policy.
