By implementing the project, we wanted to achieve three main objectives: to facilitate the exchange of experiences and best practices among partner organizations, to strengthen the capacity of the partner organizations to integrate digital literacy and mental well-being into their programmes and work with adults, and to develop a transnational network of professionals who can continue exchanging knowledge and resources in the future. Through these objectives, we aimed to equip the partner organizations with the tools and knowledge needed to create educational programmes addressing mental well-being and digital literacy, thereby contributing to the improvement of the quality of support and education provided to adult learners, including vulnerable and marginalized groups.
We applied for this project because all partner organizations identified a clear need to strengthen the knowledge and skills of their staff in two connected areas: digital literacy and mental well-being. We work with adult learners, including vulnerable groups, and we saw that digital exclusion, stress, and limited well-being support can directly affect adults’ access to learning, services, and participation in society. The project responded to the need to improve staff competences, exchange practical methods between partners, and develop a shared resource that could continue to support adult education work after the project ended.
