The PEACE project objective was to address the critical need to enhance the competencies of adult educators and other adult education staff in effectively managing the challenges associated with educating Ukrainian refugees and others who have fled war and suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Achieving its goal, the PEACE project empowered Adult Educators with an Online Digital Database, filled with tools and resources for Parasympathetic Stimulation, essential for effective trauma management and maximizing the learning success of adult trainees. The project recognized that several courses for language learning, job-coaching, or re-skilling, though pedagogically designed, failed to deliver the expected learning outcomes due to a lack of trauma management competence among adult educators. Our objective was to expand the didactical options available to Adult trainers working with trainees with trauma or PTSD by creating a repository that serves as an "enabler for enhancing learning success” Our objective was to actively disseminated the PEACE results in our Adult Educators network and through PEACE Conference as OER to Adult trainers and stakeholders.
The project PEACE addressed the identified need of improving the competences of adult educators and other adult education staff in dealing effectively with the challenges of educating Ukrainian refugees and others who have escaped war and suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Project PEACE aspired to empower Adult Educators with an Online Digital Database of tools and resources for Parasympathetic Stimulation, a vital prerequisite for effective trauma management and maximising learning success of adult trainees. We have witnessed that compelled by ongoing war and other political disturbances, an increasing number of skilled and educated refugees, specifically Ukrainians are seeking temporary refuge in Europe. Europe needs a quick enabling process of re-skilling so that their skills and competence can be quickly channelized by fast-tracking their re-skilling for job integration. There is an abundance of good language learning courses as well as skill trainings, didactically efficient but Adult Learning Environment in Europe needed an "enabler" to ensure that traumatised adult learners and refugees are relaxed, at peace and in a parasympathetic state to ensure their learning success.
