Objectives

By implementing this project, we wanted to provide adult learners in adult educational institutions and organizations, adult educators, adult educational institution administrators and adult NGO, SME staff and managers, adult institution volunteers to understand the importance of transformational learning, to develop their capacity to cooperate with other adult educational institutions in Europe, and to improve the social participation of adults in society. We wanted to achieve diversifying the learning-teaching methods of adult learning organizations around Europe; focusing on a common learning experience and the awareness of intercultural tolerance, inferences from each other's experience, critical reflection, changing critical thinking and meaning schemes, and these issues would contribute to common value and citizen participation.

Background

We applied for this project to share good practices and improve the social participation of adults as transformational learners by ensuring that transformational learning practices and experiences were understood by educators, administrators and learners of private/public institutions related to partnering country adult learning. We also needed to colloborate with European countries on this specific topic.Adult learning is lifelong and supported by a variety of learning methods. Adult learning has become increasingly important around the world, with governments allocating more funding. Many adult educational institutions aim to ensure that adults learn effectively through current and improved teaching methods. The transformational form of learning, in which adults learn to question their own assumptions, beliefs, feelings and perspectives for personal and intellectual development and maturation, is also an issue that should be emphasized in adult educational institutions.
