As a general aim, the project helped us achieve our constant learning goal to be regularly updated with latest training techniques and internationalize our professional networks to maintain our reliability and competitiveness as Adult Educator. Theme-specific, REVES - REinVEnting to REviVE traditionS had two specific objectives: (1) To provide adult educators and cultural promoters with tailor-made Training opportunity for social inclusion and enhanced performance in the digital age; (2) To boost active civic participation in preserving local traditional heritage and European diversity against imminent risk of erosion. In other words, we aimed to prepare our staff and key local actors into competent mentors and action-takers in the field of cultural promotion. Thanks to that, they can keep pace with the fast-changing social realities and mentality and be able to provide support as well as lead local projects with a tradition-reinventing scope by means of digitalization.
REVES project was inspired by the urge for a positive cultural and social change enabled by enhanced skills, extended equal training opportunity and digital inclusion to adults motivated to restore the role of cultural traditions, especially in rural areas that once the nurturing cradle of traditions, now erosion due to town abandonment. Digitalization is becoming an ever more powerful transformation process in every corner of life. Our staff and local learners require updated knowledge of digitalization and concrete Non-formal Education skills to make them the right catalyst for community initiatives that help preserve and revive the dying out traditions and artisan practices. Suffering from lack of information and public innovation due to geographical barrier and limited resources, we relied on the project to provide a quality, practical and inspirational Training Course in vivid cultural settings with efficient measures, which would be otherwise difficult with local resources and mentality.
