REACT will combine learner and teacher training for a twofold purpose: to enable students to develop an attitude for continuous learning; and to provide an opportunity for teachers to compare their own conception of schools with their European colleagues, in order to jointly design innovative solutions aimed at increasing levels of knowledge and skills, in a context where each learner has a different background from the other.
The Institute is located in an area where unemployment rates, as well as school dropout rates, are very high. Especially, learners in evening classes come from situations of economic, social, cultural and linguistic hardship-non-literate foreign students; such critical issues often represent a limitation to education, as teachers have to take into account very diverse backgrounds and levels of education.
