The target of the project is an inquiry by the “older” population about their experiences of the building process of the European Community. The starting point is to investigate how and if, starting from one’s own national and cultural identity, seniors have acknowledged a European identity. On the other hand, the project wants to learn about the concept of European identity among young people, whose historical approach to such a concept is naturally different. The best way to do that is by creating an interactive learning environment in which older and younger citizens can learn form each other and their perspectives (of being an European citizen). The project will create a comparison between seniors’ and youth’s perception and, of course, expression of the European identity in a local educational setting. The idea is to create a transfer of experiences from older people to youth and to start up an interactive way of learning between these groups about actual local issues and the awareness of being a European citizen.

Everybody has the right to information on their own conditions. The use of plain or ‘easy-to-read’ language can help all people with reading or writing difficulties to become a full member of society. Since many years, in several countries of the EU exist ‘easy-to-read’ newspapers and/or ‘plain language centres’. In this project partners will form a learning partnership to exchange experience, practice and successful methods, make an inventory of the present situation and needs in the field of easy-to-read and plain language in the participating countries and carry out joint actions. The result of this partnership must be a European co-operation project where partners work together on quality improvement, marketing-strategy and Web-strategy for their newspapers; a European easy-to-read newspaper on current affairs in the EC; awareness campaigns on the need of easy-to-read or plain language in the EC; lain language rewriting services and courses; testing methods to evaluate rewritten texts; an easy-to-read and plain language quality label; and other.

It is the ambitious aim of sTelLLa to develop a generic method for autonomous learning for adults that can be implemented in the training courses of various professions. First of all, we will share information and experiences. The expertise of each partner combined with the well balanced constitution of the group guarantees a synergetic cooperation and a cultural enrichment. Starting from concrete eLearning tasks; trainers, learners and the partner institutions will create new good practice examples for several domains. Adult learners will be involved in the test settings. We will promote these new eLearning techniques to enhance the Life Long Learning opportunities for adults. Also, we want to stimulate trainers and learners to use an eLearning environment as communication tool and for didactical purposes; to use modern ICT methods not only to communicate but also to acquire and exchange knowledge. Via transnational meetings and discussions with trainers, learners and specialists, via conferences (life and video-), the eLearning platform and our Website, we will optimize and promote this eLearning method as a stimulating factor in the open and distance learning for adults.

The aim of the project is to share and exchange experiences of the partners in order to increase the common knowledge and practice with regard to educational capacity. A second aim is to produce - based on the existing practices and experiences - user-friendly instruments/tools for gauging and improving the educational capacity of the (potential) learner with respect to the access to and the alignment of specific learning programmes. The instruments will be developed and tested by the partners with close involvement of the learners. The project will be coached by professor Dr. Herman Baert of the Catholic University of Leuven (Centre for Research on Adult and Continuing Education). Training of the partners and dissemination of the interim and final results on a European level will be an integral part of the project. A Website will be developed open to the public to continually comment on and improve the draft instruments. The common actions of sharing experiences, development of tools and coaching will stimulate the learning process of all the partners involved on the topic of educational capacity.

Young adults and elderly persons will interview each other about their experiences of childhood and will record their memories digitally, especially about the history and evolution of the European Union. Their reminiscences will be supplemented with secondary material that they research themselves, in order to place the memories in their social and historical context. Elderly persons and young adults from the same countries will work together, but they will also travel ‘virtually’ to participating European countries and interview elderly persons and young adults abroad about their experiences of childhood (Webcams and videoconferencing can be used as tools to realise this). This comparative material will be published as part of an online community, and will also be made into an edited DVD on European childhood from 1950 onwards. Young adults and elderly persons will also work together to produce a number of self help DVDs where they share life experience and personal advice on topics such as Europe, living independently, grief and other issues that may be of significance to the participants. It is expected that these materials will be disseminated to libraries and schools in the participating countries, and may be used as educational learning materials.

Factors such as opening the European borders, migration, the accelerated technological development and the broad distribution of new communication resources influenced these changes. S.U.I.T.C.A.S.E. aims to work with adult learners in exploring these concepts on a personal, local/regional and European level, in order to promote mutual understanding and enable new forms of cultural exchange. Each partner will set up a Project Working Group incorporating staff and learners. The primary activities of the group will be an art exchange, facilitated by workshops, in which learners create ‘artefacts’ under a theme of culture and identity and then send them to learners in partner countries. The receivers are then tasked with responding to the piece with an artwork of their own. Information on the sender’s culture will be intrinsic to the piece, as art is always in some way, a reflection of the culture that creates it. Trans-national visits will also play an important role in the project, and will involve both staff and learners in group meetings, exchange of experience and expertise, and engagement in cultural activities and foreign language.

Partner organisations will jointly develop a research framework and reporting methodology to identify key factors, trial and test them in a variety of settings and evaluate their effectiveness. The project targets adult learners from disadvantaged backgrounds, for example, people who have not completed their education, women experiencing disadvantage, those with mental health problems, learners who live in rural isolation, those experiencing social exclusion, people from ethnic minorities, older learners and single parents. Each partner will establish a retention baseline at the start of the project. This will describe retention patterns within their own institution. Along with the baseline, the partners will describe strategies used within their own teaching practises to encourage adult learners to stay on course and also the factors that they believe adversely and positively affect retention. Over the two year period, partners will exchange ideas and try out new strategies and tactics to improve their own organisation’s adult learner retention rates. The findings of the two year research project will be disseminated through publications, a summative conference for both tutors and learners, and Web sites.

The barriers would be widely discussed, classified and evaluated and consequently guidance services eliminating these barriers should be designed in relation to previous results. In order to reach this aim the existing services in the project countries concerned would be analysed and examples of good practices and marketing strategies would be identified. A qualitative research in form of questionnaires and directed interviews should offer a solid base for wide range of information. The sample for the surveys is basically the adult population in general with more specific focus on the target group. The adults potentially interested in further education would be welcome into the project in order to gain more authentic opinions. The questionnaires and methodology for the directed interviews would be created by the project partners. The project should result in publishing a summarized study “Barriers in Adult Education”. The institutions of adult education might make use of it afterwards when planning their guidance services but also Authorities at higher levels (e.g. regional ones) can take advantage of it.

Lack of interest can be observed both on the side of educational institutions and (especially) on the side of the seniors themselves. Particularly remarkable is this problem in the new EU member countries. This project objective is to collect, to compare and to evaluate experiences with senior life-long education organizing in partner´s countries both in countries with traditional heavy geriatic social programme (Sweden, Austria), in countries with heavy social programme for minorities (Spain) and in new EU countries (Czech Republic). Based on this data the project partners will define basic ideas how to increase senior interest for further education, to mobilize their inTelectual potential, to swatch from letargy and resignation. Using such instruments we´ll demonstrate the practical impact for everyday seniors´ life. For most seniors the practical utilisation is the main criterion of their doing. The accomplishment of this task will be accommodated with generally formulated theses, as well as examples of practical cases in particular demonstrating how the seniors can apply the outcome of their lifetime education in the practice of their lives. On the other hand the effort of the investigators will be to address education institutions in the project's partner countries and make them interested in expanding the offer of study possibilities for the seniors. It should be an offer that will be compelling for them and that will really enrich their lives in some way. The third task will be to formulate a principle of seniors' lifetime education contribution in general from the corporate, social point of view. Conclusions: the basic project objective is the knowledge transfer on education for seniors among project partners.

Project findings will serve as basis for forwarding recommendations on developing “learner-friendly” methodologies on use of ICT in the learning process. Learners will be asked their opinion through online surveys. Moreover, adult students will be requested to write articles to encourage other learners to try ICT in their training. These articles will be posted at the project’s Website that will serve as a venue for exchanging “positive stories” on IT learning, and best practices in teaching adults using ICT. At the end of the project, a seminar will be held among adult educators, learners, and institutions involved in adult education to present the project’s findings and recommendations.

In all European countries this is today a difficult task, because you have to find values for tomorrow even if you are not certain about the values of today. And at the same time you have to create a safe environment, provide for your children in many ways, and you feel alone, many times without the support of family or neighbours. Therefore it is necessary to provide a new kind of community for parenting. We want to define a network-orientated community, opening new possibilities to empower single parents to find ways to get jobs, or to get better jobs through community building and shared practise in and between our communities to create local communities in a European network to share parenting, networking to enhance the possibilities of providing for your children in realistic and wellinformed ways as active European citizens. Shared practise courses in ICT and Media skills, tools and competencies as gateways to offer a combination of better possibilities. In the diversity of European parenting the project is going to combine the courses and create a community Website offering multilingual advice and communication and with interactive links with other associations, local networks and foundations.

E-learning is one of the ICT tools, and the last years there has been an increasing use of elearning. Adults with literacy problems are one of the groups who might take advantage of using e-learning and ICT in education and every day life. Effective e-learning could be one step forward closing the “digital divide” and may help improving employability and adaptability to the job market, for adults with literacy problems. The partners in this project, who already provide e-learning, want to exchange experiences and good practice. The project will focus on ongoing experiences with e-learning for adults with literacy problems. We will share and disseminate good practice, how to make e-learning effective and easier for all kinds of adult learners as a way to give equal possibilities to everyone. We will make a framework for evaluation of the effect of e-learning for adults with literacy problems.

Many parents and adults living and working with preschool children in Europe feel not prepared for this order of media education. The focus of the project Miki is on European exchange of experience and good practices of adults (trainers in education, the educators themselves and parents, grandparents and childminders) as learning partners in the common task media and education in preschool age. Miki gives the possibility to get an impression of activities in the field of media learning in kindergartens in several European countries what includes also the discussion of need and understanding about media learning and education now and in the future.Concepts, ideas and good practise from the involved countries are to be collected, discussed and examined for transferability with special focus on disadvantaged families. This happens face to face in 4-days transnational meetings in several partner countries. The collected results of exchange will be arranged on a Website which includes also communication in special and several forums between the project participants.

Hinter der Idee der Lernpfade verbirgt sich ein realer Weg (Wander-, Radweg, Straße) zu bestimmten Themen, wie Kultur, Religion, Gesunde Ernährung, Technik etc. In der Uckermark (D) bietet sich hierfür beispielsweise das generationsübergreifende Lernthema „Erneuerbare Energien“ für einen solchen Lernpfad an. Lehrende und Lernende beschäftigen sich mit der Energieerzeugung von Gestern und Heute, entwickeln Methoden zur Heranführung von Bewohnern und Gästen unterschiedlicher Altersgruppen an das Thema, Betreiber der Anlagen werden in die Arbeit einbezogen. Die Erfahrungen sind abstrahierbar, unter konkreten thematischen Ansätzen und Bedingungen der beteiligten Regionen nachnutzbar. Lernende werden motiviert und sensibilisiert sich mit ihrem Umfeld auseinander zu setzen. Durch den transnationalen Aspekt der LP erhalten sie Einblicke in andere Länder und Kulturen. Dies fordert Auseinandersetzung mit dem europäischen Gedanken, erhöht die interkulturelle Kompetenz. Das Thema zeigt Lernenden Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten auf. Lehrende setzen sich mit anderen Lehrmethoden auseinander, wobei transnationale Erfahrungen der Partner der LP einfließen. An konkreten Standorten werden didaktisch-methodische Konzepte zur altersgruppengerechten Besucherbetreuung entwickelt. Die Arbeit der LP wird durch ErsTellung und Pflege einer Webseite unterstützt. Darauf werden Lernpfade der einzelnen Länder gezeigt. Im Ergebnis der Arbeiten entsteht eine zusammenfassende Projektbroschüre.

Information on basic conditions (such as organisational structures, content matters, personnel, methodology, didactics) of these models should be identified and it should be checked if it is possible to implement them in other organisations, cultures and structures in the different regions/countries. Aims are: a) to develop a data base with information on how and why programs of adult education in the respective regions are successful in order to provide the target groups of adult education with new perspectives for their life and new ways to participate in civil society, to enhance their possibilities of self-reflection in times of uncertainty and to provide them with tools and mechanisms to deal with role conflicts and role expectations in their professional and private life b) to render possible a qualified description of the evaluated concepts of adult education with respect to methodical and didactical questions in order to improve the availability and implementation of these models across country borders. c) to capacitate the participants and target groups of the international exchange on adult education in the respective regions to identify new possibilities, new methods and new forms od AE.

Seine Bezüge zur Gegenwart beschränken sich auf die Zusammenarbeit europäischer Gedenkstätten und spärliche Informationen über das Vorhandensein jüdischen Lebens von höchstens lokaler Bedeutung. Die historische Erfahrung des Genozids ist in Europa – inbesondere in Deutschland – so präsent, dass eine Beschäftigung mit jüdischer Kultur- und Bildungsgeschichte besonderer Sensibilität bedarf. Das jüdische VierTel Josefov in Prag oder das Marais in Paris bietet dem zunehmenden Interesse der Touristenströme eher eine Gratwanderung zwischen Gedächtnisort und jüdischer Folklore. Unsere Lernpartnerschaft verfolgt die Absicht, sich mit den gemeinsamen Bildungsgrundlagen auseinander zu setzen, die Bestandteil der gesamteuropäischen Identität sind. Der Bildungsbegriff umfasst hier die politische und gesellschaftliche Bildung, Geschichten aus der Geschichte der Juden als Europäer, den interreligiösen Austausch, historische Ereignisse als exemplarische Stationen europäischer Geschichte und die Bedeutung christlicher und jüdischer Werte. Was kann eine Lernpartnerschaft zur Auseinandersetzung mit jüdischen Bildungstraditionen beitragen? Ziel ist, den Dialog der Kulturen und Generationen zu unterstützen, Reichtum, Vielfalt und Schönheit der Vielvölkerkultur des alten Europa zu entdecken, Vorurteile abzubauen, eine Zukunft gestalten zu helfen, in der sich die Unmenschlichkeiten der Vergangenheit nicht wiederholen können.

Today’s society sees people eager to learn about cooking and healthy eating, about sustainable living and are actively promoting the collection of traditional local recipies and encouraging sustainable living. Yet the associated knowledge and required skills tend to be de-valued and lost. Traditional life, especially in rural communities, includes food production, preparation and cooking as well as activities and festivities that are linked to the seasons, products and aspects of social life. These activities ensure the community’s continuation as a living culture and help in the formation of identity and can enhance the authenticity of experiencing community, locality and tradition. Traditional cooking is geared to what grows locally, to local breeds and seeds, to local skills and resources. It is a key element in ensuring integrated, sustainable development at local, regional and global levels. Younger people tend to have lost these skills and the ability to sustainably utilise traditional resources, disabling their potential in the traditional world. They also lack the advanced skills required to create a different life for themselves in the globalized world. Elderly people and rural women have tended to become isolated in our fast moving, ready-made world. It has seemed that there is no interest in the skills and memory they possess and they do not think in terms of exact methods and measurements that are easily transferred or recorded in written form. Such isolation can cause related social, health and economic problems.

Basically it is necessary to define the different view of “participation” (i.e., what it means to be a European citizen). The object of this Grundtvig Learning Partnership is the exchange on the different national activities in the area of educationally disadvantaged people and the promotion of non-formal learning with regard to civic activities, education and training, in the perspective of different experiences from EU countries as well as an exchange of their organisational structures and financing, the different requirements and experiences with inclusion of disadvantaged, distance education learners, and methods for promoting non-formal, self-organized learning, as well as the connection between education and social urban development. Main focus is to extend knowledge and skills, find ways to reach out to less educated people attending nonformal education in the area of active citizenship. Beside that the project partners interchange on different methods of competence analysis and assessments as well as on the matter how to certify non-formally acquired knowledge and skills. The national experiences regarding their transfer and dissemination into other countries will be evaluated and some project documentation will be established. The project aims at the promotion of project’s results in our communities in all partner countries, the structural improvement on the education availability of low educated people traditionally far away from education, and at the improvement on efficiency of education offered by local co-operation and by networking of protagonists and organisations. The partner organisations plan to exchange good practice and to find out the activities that will work with our target groups.

Die Regel des Benedikt von Nursia (Benediktinerregel) enthält alle wesentlichen Grundwerte, die gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen der Gegenwart in Europa zu analysieren und dadurch Antworten zu finden, wie die Achtung vor der Würde des Menschen und seinen sozialen Beziehungen die Freiheit der Person die Förderung des Einzelnen und der Gemeinschaft die Achtung und Toleranz gegenüber den unterschiedlichen Religionen und Kulturen. Die Benediktinerregel gibt Anweisungen für das optimale Zusammenleben der Menschen, Konfliktlösungsmodelle und eine praktische Gestaltung des Alltags. In der Gegenwart wird sie als Impulsgeber für die Wirtschaft wieder entdeckt und in Ausbildungskursen und für Betriebsführung mit Erfolg angewendet. Sie hat sich seit 1500 Jahren nicht nur für das Leben in Klostergemeinschaften bewährt, sondern war Motor für die wirtschaftliche, soziale und kulturelle Entwicklung Europas. Das Projekt will die europäischen Grundwerte und deren Bedeutung für ein friedliches Zusammenleben in der europäischen Gemeinschaft auf Grundlage der Benediktinerregel in geeigneten und zeitgemäßen Formen vermitTeln und ins Bewusstsein der Menschen bringen.

Marketing is a relatively new area for (new instrument used by) educational institutions, working with adult learners. In order to reach potential learners various strategies have been implemented. These are embedded by factors that characterise a nation and by the values of the educational institution itself. By comparing strategies applied, it is our intention to find a common and fitting approach for reaching new potential learners. The motivation of people to further their education, the heightening of their general awareness of the necessity, value, the importance and of the advantages of life long learning - particularly for people who experience difficulties accessing such services and for the hard to reach, these learning outcomes will be achieved and enhanced by modern educational marketing.

The emphasis is on learning about training already available in the partner countries and discussions about possible future developments. A central topic here is improving the participation of volunteers in society. The public administrations’ declining social budgets mean that volunteers are making an increasingly important contribution to social work in the Member States and are thus supporting the work of professional organisations. It is therefore becoming more and more important that social service organisations develop and provide attractive training offers for their voluntary staff. These must take account of the target group’s educational and professional backgrounds, their time allocation as well as their personal motivation. Training for volunteers should also provide them with more confidence both in the work they are doing and society generally. Both teachers/trainers and volunteers from the partner organisations will take part in the exchange programme ensuring that their views, as those directly affected, are included in the project work. The partners will share information about the type and design of training courses for volunteers in their areas of work and compare their similarities and differences.

Es soll den interessierten Erwachsenen die Möglichkeit gegeben werden, ihr Wissen und ihre Kompetenzen über Tiere mit fachgerechter Unterstützung zu erweitern und auszubauen. Dazu sind Informationswege und -methoden zu entwickeln, die den Lehr- und Lernbedürfnissen Erwachsener entsprechen. Die private Haltung von Tieren verlangt Sachkenntnis. Das sind zum Beispiel Kenntnisse über den Umgang mit Tieren, über Krankheiten von Tieren, über den Transport von Tieren, über biologische Hintergründe und Bedrohungen und über den Tierschutz. In Fachgremien und bei zuständigen Behörden ist bekannt, dass die Sach- und Fachkenntnis für den artgerechten Umgang mit Tieren/ Wildtieren leider nur unzureichend vorhanden ist. In Europa gilt seit 1999 die „Richtlinie 1999/22/EG vom 20.03.1999 – Über die Haltung von Wildtieren in Zoos (EU-Zoorichtlinie). Zoos sind definiert als Orte der Erholung, der Bildung, des Artenschutzes und der Forschung. Die Anforderungen an einen Zoo ist im Artikel 3 wie folgt festgelegt: „Zoos fördern die Aufklärung und das Bewusstsein der Öffentlichkeit, in bezug auf die Erhaltung der biologischen Vielfalt, insbesondere durch Informationen über die zur Schau gesTellten Arten und ihrer natürlichen Lebensräume“ Damit kommt den Zoos und Wildtierhaltungen eine eindeutige Bildungsaufgabe.

Against this backdrop E³ wants to establish a partnership dealing with experiences in different European countries and different Grundtvig target groups. To determine the European dimensions of entrepreneurship and its teaching, it is necessary to learn about the different concepts, practices and culture-specific valuations of entrepreneurship throughout Europe and about the different didactical methodologies, especially the breakdown of entrepreneurship into a set of competences and the respective learning targets. Thus the partnership wants to develop a repository for each participating country regarding - The definition and image of entrepreneurship - How entrepreneurial education is structured - The attitude towards entrepreneurship, and - How entrepreneurship is stimulated. The repository will also contain general information about European studies and projects concerning entrepreneurship. On this analytical basis the partners want to use the results for the improvement of their own teaching and to disseminate these results on a general level in order to increase awareness of the need for specific training methodologies in spite of the common European aspects of entrepreneurship.

The prison population is disadvantaged group that generally has a background of poverty and a lower level of education than the average of the national population. In some countries an important percentage of inmates are migrants who cannot read and write in the national language. Existing literacy training often fails to address the specific context that inmates have to cope with while being in prison. The lack of relevance of the curriculum and literacy material is having a negative impact on the motivation of potential learners to join literacy courses or to finalize them successfully. Literacy is an important tool for the social integration of each person. In the case of prisoners, the lack of literacy and other life skills will make their reintegration more difficult. The project partners will use a Website to exchange their experiences on curricula and learning material in the field of literacy and life skills. They will try to identify good practice examples in different countries and jointly develop criteria for improved curricula and material for literacy and life skills training with a lifelong learning perspective. Further, the project partners want to promote exchange and cooperation among trainers, - professional or volunteers, - working in the field of literacy in prisons.

Das Projekt ESCAPE hat zum Ziel, benachteiligten Frauen durch die Entwicklung von Qualifizierungsangeboten für einen späteren Einsatz im Verwaltungsbereich sozialer Dienste und Einrichtungen den Zugang zu Lebenslangem Lernen und Beschäftigung mitTelfristig zu erleichtern. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Lernpartnerschaft haben sich Partner aus DE, LT und LUX zusammengeschlossen, um die Grundlagen für eine institutionelle Kooperation auf europäischer Partner-Ebene sowie die spätere Entwicklung und Erprobung eines modularen Bildungsganges zu schaffen. Dabei soll jedes Land gleichberechtigt seine Erfahrungen einbringen können. Das Projekt umfasst eine Analyse des Qualifikationsstandes der Zielgruppe, die systematische Erfassung bestehender Bildungsangebote und die Definition von Bereichen für eine gemeinsame Curriculumentwicklung auf europäischer Ebene. MitTelfristig sollen die beteiligten Partner und deren Organisationen auf der Grundlage eines länderübergreifenden Bildungsganges in die Lage versetzt werden, für die Zielgruppe ein echtes, auf die länderspezifischen Bedürfnisse abgestimmtes Hilfeangebot anbieten zu können und somit benachteiligten Frauen die Möglichkeiten zu eröffnen, durch verbesserte Beschäftigungsfähigkeit dauerhaft der sozialen Ausgrenzung entfliehen zu können.

In 2008, two new partner organisations will join the project, in 2009 two further organisations. In the end, the gardeners will be able to manage autonomously their project and also the European network. Lingual diversity is one of the most important ressources of the gardens. Intercultural gardens are locations where immigrants make use of knowledge they bring along and generate new ideas and capacities to develop and accomplish their own life perspectives. They are locations in which distinctive learning processes will be initiated and transcultural knowledge will be produced. Learning processes in the gardens depend on the participants, the potentials and resources of the gardeners, local/regional circumstances, political conditions etc. In every case, intercultural gardens as learning locations promote knowledge and competences in the following areas: biological gardening, intercultural communication, social competences, language competence, education of democracy and tolerance and especially civic engagement, fundraising, self organisation etc. Target group of the garden projects are immigrants of different national/ethnic background and native citizens. Step by step, the garden projects and the European network shall be autonomously organized by the gardeners.

Bei der Zielgruppe der Patienten handelt es sich um Menschen mit Abhängigkeitserkrankungen, die sich in Behandlung begeben haben und damit eine Grundmotivation für ein drogenfreies Leben beweisen. Diese Menschen haben durch die schnellen Veränderungen der Arbeitswirklichkeit der letzten Jahre ein großes Problem mit der Anpassung an die veränderten Bedingungen. Der Prozess des lebenslangen Lernens (im Sinne eines positiven Entwicklungsprozesses) ist bei ihnen durch den SuchtmitTelkonsum während der Persönlichkeitsreifung kaum in Gang gesetzt, der häufig mangelhafte Ausbildungsstand bedingt zudem eine deutlich unzureichende berufliche Mobiliät. Trotz absolvierter Therapie findet sich bei dieser Zielgruppe eine beängstigend hohe Arbeitslosenquote. Somit manifestiert sie sich erneut als sozial benachteiligte Randgruppe. Wir wollen im Austausch mit anderen europäischen Partnern eine Sachstandserhebung durchführen, die Klarheit über die Anforderungen an „mobilitätsorientierte“ Arbeitstherapie verschafft. Die Erkenntnisse sollen neue Konzepte zur Motivationsförderung von Arbeitstherapeuten und „lernenden“ Patienten ermöglichen. Die Ziele sollen u.a. auch durch Erfahrungsaustausch mitTels gegenseitiger Hospitation von Arbeitstherapeuten als Multiplikatoren für Lernende erreicht werden. Die Partnerschaft soll in einem Symposium zur Weiterentwicklung der Diskussion gipfeln.

The attitudes of individuals towards Europe and towards its inhabitants also vary. What causes people to be fearful, sceptical, open or hopeful in this connection? Our project PULSE originates at Europe´s pulse, that is, at its people. The project partners agree that perceptions about the formative attitudes towards people from different countries represent an essential enrichment of further education work. The personal histories of Europeans from the participating countries are captured with the help of extensive, biographically oriented interviews, done by the Oral History Method (a scientific method in the form of half-open interviews) as a means of learning more about the interviewees than through the standard surveys predominantly carried out to date. During the joint preparation phase the project partners already initiate a discussion about Europe´s diversity, its differences and common grounds. In the course of the project this discussion is intensified by means of a regular exchange within the learning partnership and extended to the actively participating learners. With our project we are making a novel, up-to-date contribution to cultural and political education by applying the Oral History Method.

Starting learning-network projects on a local level, the participants in the learning-partnership want to share experiences, good practice and problems encountered when implementing and using such an approach in different settings. In the second phase of the project the participants want to build bridges between the local learning-networks, encouraging the learners to participate in a common learning-network exchanging views and knowledge on a European level. Using ICT as a tool in this collaborative approach of learning the participants want to build bridges for the use of computers in adult education with people that, very often, didn't use ITC at all in the past. Using an internet-based platform themselves while working together and evaluating the experiences, chances and difficulties when using such a tool, the participants expect to gain a better understanding of collaborative networks for their future practice. Furthermore they hope to raise the awareness of potential benefits to learners, staff, institutions (and maybe to communities?) when collaboration is encouraged in learning-processes.

Als ungarische Königstochter, 1207 auf dem Gebiet der heutigen Slovakei geboren, wurde sie auf die Wartburg bei Eisenach gebracht und mit dem Thüringischen Landgrafen vermählt. Durch die Begegnung mit Franziskanern übernahm sie die Frömmigkeits- und Lebensideale des Franz von Assisi. Sie widmet ihr Leben und ihr Vermögen den Benachteiligten ihrer Zeit. Nach dem Tod muss sie Thüringen verlassen und verbringt den Rest ihres kurzen Lebens in Marburg, wo sie ein Krankenhaus für Arme einrichtet. Die heilige Elisabeth von Thüringen steht als eine europäische Integrationsfigur bis heute auch für die soziale Seite des europäischen Gedankens. Das Projekt E.L.I.S.E. verbidnet Bildungseinrichutngen aus der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, der Slovakei und aus Ungarn. Ausgehend von verschiedenen europäischen Traditionen sozialen Engagements wollen wir im Elisabethjahr nach gemeinsamen Strategien bei der Entwicklung von Fortbildungsangeboten für sozial engagierte MultiplikatorInnen suchen. Im MitTelpunkt stehen dabei UnterstützerInnen von Arbeitslosen, insbesondere von besonders benachteiligten Langzeitarbbeitslosen, wie z.B. Behinderten. Im Rahmen des Projektes sollen Erfahrungen und Kompetenzen von Mitarbeitenden der beteiligten Einrichtungen und von Teilnehmenden aus den drei Ländern zusammengeführt werden, um ein gemeinansames Rahmenmodell für die begleitende Fortbildung von Coatches für besonders benachteiligte Arvbeitslose zu entwicklen.

Wie können sie den Weg in ein aktives, gemeinschaftliches, selbst gestaltetes Leben finden? Was motiviert Menschen, die das Lernen nie gelernt haben zu einer aktiven Lebenshaltung und zu neuen Erfahrungen? In dieser Lernpartnerschaft tauschen Erwachsenenbildungseinrichtungen Methoden aus, mit denen ihre Teilnehmenden diese Barriere überwinden, indem sie die natürliche Kreativität mobilisieren. Es geht um informelles Lernen mit künstlerischen Methoden wie Musik, Tanz, Malerei, Fotografie und Computerdesign. Die Methoden werden von Lehrenden und Lernenden vorgesTellt und anschließend verglichen und diskutiert. Die Relevanz einer Methode wird dabei daraufhin geprüft, wieweit sie zur Persönlichkeitsbildung und zur Ausbildung sozialer Kernkompetenzen der Lernenden beiträgt und ob oder unter welchen Prämissen sie europaweit einsetzbar ist. Ziel ist es, vielfältige kreative Methoden für das informelle Lernen transnational bereit zu sTellen, zu vergleichen und die Bedingungen dafür aufzuzeigen. Dieses Ziel dokumentiert ein Katalog, in dem die Methoden unter verschiedene Kriterien und Kategorien dargesTellt werden. In einem "Creativ Camp" zur Mitte der zweijährigen Lernpartnerschaft arbeitet eine transnationale Gruppe von Lernenden gemeinsam zu einem Thema, Vorschlag "Where I Feel Home".

All partners have experience and know-how regarding musical and creative workshops and courses. The target groups of the project are adult learners with learning disabilities and adult education professionals. One aim of the project especially for the disabled learners is getting contact with people from other countries. The common experience in the intercultural workshops is meant to increase the awareness of own competences. The project is meant to lead to a public event such as an exhibition or a performance to focus another aim: bridging to the community.

Most of the adults having linguistic and cultural skills acquired outside the classical learning system, are not aware of the possibilty of documenting these skills. Thus, the main objective of the project is to make the direct target group represented by adults, e.g. in the building sector and its neighbour field, in the participating countries: Germany, Romania, Portugal, Hungary, TÜRKIYE (women and men), who have lived and worked abroad, aware of the possibility of documenting - e.g. through The Europass Language Passport - their linguistic and cultural competences acquired "by chance", informally, respectively non-formally. Other potential users e.g. the companies where these adults work, teachers, instructors of the target group at further and advanced training courses, other stakeholders (Chambers of Trade, Commerce, Labour Force Offices etc.) will be involved from the beginning in the project. Main activities: roundtable talks, interviews, seminars, conferences, building a multi-lingual project internet site. An added value is that the project idea can be transferred to any other field of activity.

The target of the project is to utilise this potential for personal projects but also in a social, economic and political environment. Middle-aged women in European societies are generally strongly integrated and challenged coping with both family and work. During these years they develop a strong professional and social competence. With the second half of the “forties“, many changes ensue. Individually they may be differing substantially. This is a time of change, of summing up, of the realistic contemplation of what is not possible anymore – and, on the other hand, a time to recognise one’s own potential and re-focus. In Europe, women in the age group of 45 to 65 – the group we would like to address primarily – has a long life perspective and only few “suitable” role models. In the learning partnership we would like to work with the concepts of salutogenesis and empowerment. Together, we want to develop visions, images of the future and perspectives. Meetings with partners, workshops, lectures and a “future workshop” in spring 2007, will enable the exchange of experience, the introduction to cultures and traditions of project partners and joint learning – from one another and with each other - as well as the expansion of the educational offers of all partners. We deem intercultural exchange extremely important and effective – it enables us to compare the different images and requirements of women across Europe and to use these insights for mutual invigoration. We have also scheduled an internal evaluation (by questionnaire) at the “small” meetings as well as with the future workshop in early spring 2007.

The controversial discussion about what constitutes ‘proper’ nutrition underlines the need for up-to-date nutritional education in place of the insufficiently effective classical nutritional education, particularly for adults. What is more, the food sector is also subject to increasing global uniformity, associated with a loss of diversity. Since nutrition is closely related to traditions and lifestyles, museums – as places of historical and social reflection and of aesthetic perception – can combine these two aspects. By offering sense and taste-training sessions and events that emphasise the enjoyment of food and regional specialities, these extra-mural places of learning can play an important role in the development of responsible eating habits. Furthermore activities on local food products can be an important chance to point out scientific topics such as genetically modified food and biodiversity. The project is intended to discuss these challenges by promoting an exchange of experience between museums and scientific institutions, in order to improve the partners’ practice-oriented programmes. The partners will bring in different approaches to the subject and a variety of cultural backgrounds. Discussion of these will provide the museums’ educational staff with new ideas for nutritional education, emphasising regional and cultural peculiarities and facilitating inter-cultural dialogue. The target groups are people with disabilities, senior citizens and other sections of the population who are not usually accessed through mainstream educational institutions and – for various social reasons – can’t receive an adequate nutritional education in their families or peer groups.

But there exists a lack of possibilities for these persons to exchange their language learning experiences by personal contacts to other second/third language learners. Although many of these language learners like to travel around through many European countries most of these trips are reduced to aspects of tourism and don’t aim at achieving real understanding of another culture. Also many of these adult learners have at their disposal other cultural abilities that would facilitate an active exchange, e.g. abilities in dance, music, painting, craft or others. Our objectives therefore are: To improve verbal interpersonal language communication by a multi-disciplinary approach (visit of local and regional monuments, craft/dance/theatre/music workshops, ethnic cooking, video/photography workshops, interaction with local medias), § To create consciousness of the own cultural identity, § To promote social integration. In case the present project proposal gets a positive approach we are going to follow establishing face-to-face meetings between teachers and students of different European countries. We are going to updating the steady Web-site as a platform for an informal exchange of teachers and students, and implement IT tools (chat, E-mail, online–conferences). We would also like to write some methodological hand-outs for teachers in foreign language teaching situations. § § Duration: 2 years Funding year: 2nd Area(s) covered Project Objectives Target Group(s) Arts, music, culture Basic skills Languages Strategy for stimulating/promoting adult learners’ demand for learning Experimentation with new pedagogical approach(es) Guidance / counselling or other support services Migrants/travellers/ethnic or other minorities Local community groups Other: Adults with foreign language skills COMPOSITION OF THE PARTNERSHIP Coordinating institution Name of the organisation: Volkshochschule Kleve Name of the contact person: Renate Schmitz Address: Hagsche Poort 22, D – 47533 Kleve E-mail: [email protected] Tel: + 49 (0) 2821 / 7231 22 Fax: + 49 (0) 2821 / 7231 11 Website: www.vhs-kleve.de Partners Centro sociale anziani "Villa Gordiani", IT Tech Amergin Community Education Centre, IE Cech kamenarov Slovenska, SK Cornwall College Saltash, UK 68 DEUTSCHLAND Project reference: 06-DEU03-S2G01-00202-2 DLEARNING- Democracy Learning in the process of lifelong learning in Europe This learning partnership project which is designed for three years aims to develop a sustainable European network of organisations and institutions promoting "democracy learning" and civic education in different contexts. The partners have composed a study group integrating learners from their local networks. This group reflects on European democracy in transformation, compares the conditions of civic education on national levels, exchanges ideas, concepts and methods in order to create an integral concept of "democracy learning" and develops and implements tools, methods and projects. The approach of the project with regard to "democracy learning" pays particular attention to interfaces of civic education regarding formal and non-formal learning and participation of young adults and minorities in local contexts. The participants work together in an intercultural and intergenerational learning process. Reflection groups are formed in order to work on particular aspects and contexts of democracy learning. An internet platform assures a continous collaboration of the partners. The results of the learning partnership are published online continously and are also multiplied by means of publications and/or an international conference.

As initial position can be seen complaints of employers which are regularly expressed in newspapers, tv and also by umemployment offices concerning the social competencies of young people who come from school and want to enter the employment market. A lot of young people cannot get a vocational training because they don't fulfil the basic qualifications which are needed. To work with non-violent communication strategies can be the first step to develop and improve social competencies of socially disadvantaged young people. During the meetings the experts of the participating institutions will first compare and analyse their experiences, national conceptions and ideas concerning non-violent communication by incorporating an external adviser into the discussion. Following to this learners of the institutions are to be enabled to test them. As they will be transnational groups of learners who probably don't have a commun language we will also use games and body language and we will work creatively like making collages. In the second year of the project there shall be visited institutions that have already worked with non-violent communication strategies in order to inspire further discussions among experts.

Inhaltlich konzentriert sich der Austausch auf den Bereich der Eltern- und Familienbildung als einer wichtigen Dimension der Erwachsenenbildung. Es soll dabei zunächst die Gestaltung der Erziehung in der Spannung zwischen familialen und beruflichen Anforderungen erörtert werden. Die Umsetzung erfolgt im Rahmen eines strukturierten und ergebnisorientierten Austausches zwischen den Einrichtungen. Im Rahmen von zwei internationalen Familienkonferenzen realisiert sich (1) der Austausch über die soziale Situation von Eltern und deren Familien in den jeweiligen Ländern als lebensweltlicher Kontext der Elternbildung in den Partnereinrichtungen; (2) der Austausch über die Praxis und Erfahrungen in Bezug auf Elternbildung; (3) die Wahrnehmung von sozialen Differenzen und Mentalitätsunterschieden in den jeweiligen Ländern und (4) der Austausch bzw. die Reflexion über deren Bedeutung für die jeweilige Praxis der Elternbildung. Die genannten Dimensionen des Austausches sollen dazu beitragen, eine tragfähige und effiziente Arbeitsbasis zu erarbeiten, auf der die teilnehmenden Einrichtungen evtl. gemeinsam Strategien der Elternbildung entwickeln, insbesondere für solche Eltern, die sich mitTels der herkömmlichen Orte und Methoden der Erwachsenbildung nicht oder nur schwer motivieren lassen, an Bildungsangeboten teilzunehmen. Der aktivierenden Elternarbeit kommt hier eine zentrale Funktion zu, die sich auch im TiTel des Lernprojekts ausdrückt. Der Austausch von Lehrenden soll den Erfahrungs- und Wissentransfer realisieren helfen und eventuell den Ausbau der notwendigen Strukturen vor Ort fördern.

Staff members are not equipped to communicate in foreign languages. The use of English depends on the educational background of both the patient and the health care provider. In view of these limitations, bilingual staff members, relatives of the patients or external voluntary mediators frequently act as ad hoc-interpreters. In some countries professional interpreting services for medical purposes exist, but they are not accessible in all hospitals. Anyway, ad hoc-interpreting will continue to play a major role in communication with non-native patients in all European countries. During a two-year exchange process leading clinic employees, linguistics, and cultural scientists, public health-experts and ad hocinterpreters (employees or volunteers) will come together to highlight multilingualism as a human resource. This resource, however, requires constant encouragement and promotion. The overall goal is to maintain the EU’s linguistic diversity and to enhance linguistic competencies. In the project conditions and existing practices in different European metropolitan areas will be investigated and the needs of bilingual ad hoc-interpreters will be analysed. This will be done via group discussions, meetings with local experts (i.e. scientists AND ad hoc-interpreters), the collection of “stories” told by ad hocinterpreters, excursions and workshops. Participants will bring in their own experience and reflect on their needs and already existing initiatives for ameliorating medical services for non-native patients. Together, they will present the results in a publication.

Da im ersten Jahr leider nur fünf der Partnervereine eine Bewilligung erhielten, werden wir das Projekt nun in dieser Zusammensetzung weiterführen. Unser Ziel ist auf verschiedenen Ebenen voneinander zu lernen: 1. Kennenlernen der anderen Organisationen mit ihren Methoden und Arbeitsweisen 2. Reflektion darüber, wie die behandelten Bereiche in die eigene Bildungsarbeit integriert werden können 3. Aufbau von internationlen Partnerschaften und Erarbeitung gemeinsamer Projekte Währen der Projekttreffen soll erforscht werden, welchen STellenwert die verschiedenen Themen bei der Bildungsarbeit der Gastgeber, aber auch im sonstigen zivilgesellschaftlichen und öffentlichen Raum des jeweiligen Landes einnehmen. FragesTellungen sind beispielsweise: Wie sind Menschen mit Behinderung integriert? Wie werden sie in der Bildungsarbeit einbezogen? Welche Integrationskonzepte gibt es im zivilgesellschaftlichen Raum? Welche Gesetzgebungen sind vorhanden? Zwischen den Projektttreffen sollen Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede erarbeitet und reflektiert werden, ob und ggfls. wie das Erlernte in die eigene Bildungsarbeit integriert werden kann. Im dritten Projektjahr ist geplant, auch anderen Organisationen in Europa an dem Lernprozess teilhaben zu lassen. Zudem möchten wir in der fünfnationalen Zusammenarbeit die gemeinsamen Erfahrungen konkret in unsere nationle Bildungsarbeit einfließen lassen.

Erarbeiten eines neuen Verständnisses im Umgang mit den Kindern Auf einer breiten gesellschaftlichen Ebene wird immer wieder die Frage aufgeworfen, was mit unseren Kindern los ist. Sie sind einerseits reifer und sensibler, andererseits partiell unkonzentrierter und aggressiver. Viele Kinder fordern ihre Eltern, Lehrer und Erzieher heraus, neue Wege im Umgang mit ihnen zu suchen. Ratlosigkeit und Überforderung seitens der Lehrer, Erzieher und Eltern haben zu verstärkten Aktivitäten im Bereich der Familien-/Elternbildung geführt. In vielen europäischen Ländern wächst der Bedarf an Aufklärung, Beratung und Hilfe. Bestehende Bildungssysteme sind oft überfordert. Elterninitiativen und Elternbildung nehmen einen immer größeren Raum bei der Übernahme der Verantwortung für unsere Kinder ein. Die kleinste Zelle der Gesellschaft, die Familie, ist aufgefordert, mit Verantwortung zu übernehmen. In diesem Prozess entscheiden sich immer mehr Eltern ihrem Kind eine Ausbildung mit individueller pädagogischer Ausrichtung zukommen zu lassen. Statistiken zeigen, dass z.B. in Deutschland seit 1995 ca. ein VierTel mehr Kinder eine Alternativschule besuchen. Nicht jedem Kind ist dies möglich. Eltern suchen auch innerhalb bestehender Bildungseinrichtungen nach Lösungen. Dennoch fühlen sich viele Eltern überfordert. Es fehlt ihnen das Wissen, wie sie als Eltern ihr Kind komplementär begleiten können. Eltern sind bereit, gemeinsam mit Pädagogen stärker Verantwortung für die Entwicklung der Kinder zu übernehmen. Unsere Partnerschaft setzt genau an diesem Punkt an.

Lernende aus Tagesstätten aus Spanien, Belgien und Deutschland bilden sich weiter anhand des Themas ‚Leben in Europa’. Sie erfahren die Vielfalt der Lebensmöglichkeiten in Europa wie z.B.: - Leben auf dem Lande oder in der Großstadt - Kultur und Kunst, Arbeit und Tätigsein - Geschichtliche Ursprünge und Zukunftsperspektiven Die behinderten Teilnehmenden können sich - ausgehend von ihren individuellen Fähigkeiten - dieses Thema mit allen Sinnen, mit innovativen, kreativen Methoden und mit Formen unterstützter Kommunikation erschließen. Die Partner informieren sich gegenseitig darüber hinaus über vorhandene Bildungs- und Arbeitsmöglichkeiten in den einzelnen Tagesstätten. Die beteiligten Fachkräfte erwerben durch das Projekt Kompetenzen für die Bildungsarbeit mit schwerer behinderten Menschen. Die eingesetzte Didaktik wird ausgewertet, gesammelt und einem größeren Interessentenkreis zugänglich gemacht. Menschen mit (geistiger) schwerer Behinderung werden in ihren Bildungsbedürfnissen benachteiligt, da es nur wenig Angebote für sie gibt und sie auf lebensbegleitende Unterstützung angewiesen sind. Die Forderung der EU nach Chancengleichheit für benachteiligte Personen, wie sie im Sokrates-Programmes beschrieben ist, setzen wir in die Tat um. Die politisch geforderte Teilhabe aller Bürgerinnen und Bürger an gesellschaftlichen Prozessen kann so der zunehmenden Ausgrenzung entgegenwirken.

The extended maternity leave is an education-free time. The unfavorable consequence of this situation is that the vocational integration of the target group is very difficult. Target group: Young mothers aged between 16 and 25 years with young children, without vocationnal training and secondary education, who are threatened with social exclusion. Objectives of the project: 1. Exchange with transnational partners • How and where is the target group advised and cared for? • Which educational provisions are there for the target group? • Which education-motivating measures are offered? 2. Improvement of education consulting processes • Skills extension of employees in the advisory boards 3.

In addition, CLAY will promote the partners examining traditional and long established methods of dealing with everyday problems and altering their habits by applying newer technologies and modern approaches. It is not the aim of the project to solve these problems but to expose them and to learn from the endeavours of the partners to solve them. The long-term aim is also to hold courses at schools and institutions of adult education in order to interest people in environmental issues and to promote changes in their attitude. These changes should include the use of modern technologies as well as the re-use of historic but effective methods.

Diese Zukunftsfrage nach Vision und Leitbild steht am Anfang der Strategieentwicklung für eine Partnerschaft bestehend aus Erwachsenenbildungsorganisationen mit unterschiedlichem Profil. Innovative Akteure erkennen, dass sie ihre Existenz längerfristig nur mit Blick auf die gemeinsamen europäischen ProblemsTellungen hinaus sichern können. Der Wettbewerb und die Konkurrenz werden härter. Um weiterhin wettbewerbsfähig bleiben zu können muss die Erwachsenenbildung auf den Einspartrend bei den öffentlichen und privaten Geldgebern reagieren: Kernangebote ändern, Angebote entwickeln, die einen Markt finden. Jede Organisation hat eine Strategie und agiert im täglichen Geschäft nach spezifischen Grundüberzeugungen. Häufig ist die Strategie eher intuitiv, die strategischen VorsTellungen über das was die Auftraggeber, die Lernenden und die Zukunft wollen, bleiben unausgesprochen. In dem Projekt empfehlen sich für die strategische Analyse und den Blick in die Zukunft die Stakeholder-Analyse und die Szenario-Methode. Hauptthemen des Projekts sind: aktuelle und zukünftige Bedürfnisse der Lernenden, Markt und Angebote, Ressourcen, Stärken und Schwächen und die Analyse der europäischen Wettbewerbs- und Branchenlogik. Die Zukunftschancen der Organisationen hängen davon ab, wie sie im Erfahrungsaustausch von ihren europäischen Partnern lernen und zu einem gezielten und fortlaufenden Strategieentwicklungsprozess finden.

Through the best-practice-exchange between all participating institutions and with scientific monitoring of the University of Education in Ludwigsburg (coordinator) a course concept for virtual linguistic and intercultural exchange between adult learners with different native languages is developed, tested and evaluated. Hereby the online phases on a virtual learning platform alternate with accompanying face-to-face terms and local tutorial supervision (Blended Learning). The learners communicate virtually in international groups of at least three adults from different countries. They work together on tasks reflecting intercultural aspects and using three different languages. With this innovative "tridemconcept" the learners have the opportunity to enhance simultaneously three competencies: their foreign language skills, their intercultural competencies and their media literacy. All of the three named competencies are more and more important in an extended Europe especially in terms of promotion of job mobility in a growing information and knowledge society.

Sei es, dass rassistische oder fremdenfeindliche EinsTellungen unter ihren Lernenden verbreitet sind oder dass die Lernenden selbst Opfer von fremdenfeindlichen Handlungen oder EinsTellungen sind. Daher besteht die Notwendigkeit sich mit dem Thema auseinander zu setzen. Es existieren in jeder Einrichtung bereits Konzepte und Methoden, um das Thema mit den Lernenden zu bearbeiten. Zusätzlich gibt es aber weiteren Lernbedarf. Zielgruppen der Lernpartnerschaft sind zum einen junge Erwachsene, die von sozialer Ausgrenzung bedroht sind bzw. sozial/beruflich nicht integriert sind. Zum anderen werden die Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter der beteiligten Partnerorganisationen als Lernende einbezogen. Ziele der Lernpartnerschaft sind: a) Die Verbesserung des Informationsstands in Bezug auf die Phänomene Fremdenfeindlichkeit und Rassismus in den beteiligten Ländern; b) Kennen lernen des Umgangs mit den o.g. Phänomenen in der alltäglichen Arbeit mit den Zielgruppen, die damit erzielten Erfolge und aufgetretene Hindernisse; c) die Reflexion und Optimierung der bisher angewendeten Konzepte und Methoden in transnationalen Arbeitsgruppen; d) Entwicklung von konkreten Projekten für die Zukunft, z.B. ein spezielles themenbezogenes Konzept für einen Austausch von Zielgruppenteilnehmern/innen; e) Verbreitung der Ergebnisse in der jeweiligen Region (z.B. in Schulen), in der die Organisationen tätig sind, und via Internet und/oder in Druckform an einschlägigen Institutionen.

There are three aspects to look at the problem of rising rates of young unemployed people. 1. They have not enough knowledge and competences. 2. They lost their motivations. 3. There are too less perspectives for them for life and work. What do the societies do, to solve these problems? What is successful? and why? Aims of the Learning partnership are: To find out how to promote learning competences How to rise motivation and How to give perspectives in job and life for this people. One way might be to show the competences the people have got formaly and informally. The chance is to support the strength, which the young people have and to power o believe in themselves. During the project the partners find out criterias to value the activities and results and they will benchmark the instruments and methods of motivation and finding job-perspectives. In the end there will be (on Web-site, CD and paper) A benchmark-system to value and compare activities and their results (to use for controlling and quality management and to support the work of teachers and coaches of young adult learners) A list of good- practice of motivating young people for learning A short description of the situation in the participating countries especially the perspectives of young job-seekers and consequences for the work.

Through their involvement and participation in activities, disadvantaged learners will experience social integration. These practices are also expected to increase the self-confidence of disadvantaged learners, to further build up their resources, to encourage them to take up lifelong learning and to train social skills and competences. Over a period of two years the partners will first exchange and collect good and interesting practices and then implement one practice that fulfils the resource-oriented approach at each organisation. During the second year the partners will in addition develop “learn to learn”-modules based on the results of the first year and teach them to other professionals who work with and for disadvantaged learners.

The project is particularly aimed at adults who have had little or no opportunity to travel and experience other countries. The toolbox will also enhance a better knowledge of each other's culture and habits, making it possible for workers to cross borders and find suitable jobs. The emphasis will be on the process of engaging learners in defining and understanding culture in terms of the everyday aspects such as daily routine, food, travel and work, linguistic diversity and an appreciation of cultural products such as music, art and crafts. Activities will be communication classes and creative arts and multimedia as appropriate to the individual partner. There will be opportunities for learners to focus on presenting aspects of their own culture and gaining information about others by communicating via email and Internet chat-rooms. Learners will be responsible for planning the contents of the pilot version of the toolbox in a variety of media and presenting the results at a learner conference in the Spring of 2007.

Informell erworbene Kompetenzen rücken immer mehr in den Fokus bildungspolitischer Überlegungen. Menschen, denen klar ist, was sie alles können, wird auch klarer, wo sie sich einbringen und wie sie sich weiterentwickeln können.

Die Kommunikation der einzelnen Partner über ihre Konzepte von Lehrenden und Lernenden mündet in die Betrachtung der Unterschiede bzw. Gemeinsamkeiten bei den einzelnen Einrichtungen / Ländern. Als zweiter Schritt werden die verschiedenen Konzepte diskutiert, wie informell erworbene Kompetenzen bei Kursteilnehmern identifiziert und berücksichtigt werden, bzw. welche Möglichkeiten praktikabel sind. Die verschiedenen Konzepte werden mit den Vertretern der einzelnen Einrichtungen auf einem gemeinsamen Symposion diskutiert und die Ergebnisse in die einzelnen Einrichtungen zurückgespiegelt. Ziel ist es, best practice Modelle aufzuzeigen und eine Entwicklungslinie in den Weiterbildungseinrichtungen zu stärken, die von einem Potentialansatz getragen ist und Methoden fördert, die bei Kursteilnehmern die vorhandenen Kompetenzen identifizieren.

Darüber hinaus verfügen pädagogische Professionals über implizite und explizite Theorien ihres beruflichen Handelns und beanspruchen als Lehrende Kompetenz für die Unterstützung von Lernprozessen. Beides gilt es für pädagogische Weiterbildungskonzepte zu beachten. Das lange Zeit vorherrschende normative Verständnis in Weiterbildungskonzepten, Lehrenden immer neue „bessere“ Lehrkonzepte anbieten zu wollen, hat sich als ungeeignet erwiesen, denn Lernanforderungen in Fortbildungsmaßnahmen führen nicht automatisch zu Veränderungen in der Praxis. Untersuchungen belegen, dass Weiterbildungsprozesse an den identitätsrelevanten STellen einsetzen müssen, dort wo die Lehrenden ihr praktisches Handeln problematisch empfinden. Die Notwendigkeit einer verbesserten/effektiveren Fort- und Weiterbildung pädagogischer Professionals ist um so dringlicher, je mehr die Anforderung besteht, Bildungseinrichtungen zu innovieren und in ihren Qualitätsstandards weiterzuentwickeln sowie die Erwartungen der Lernenden an individuelle Lernbegleitung zu erfüllen. Dieses Ziel soll durch die Nutzung der vielfältigen nationalen Ansätze und verschiedenen Weiterbildungskulturen unterstützt werden.

Their roles are both educative and educational. Learning environments and the creation of general dispositions to creativity and learning are crucial for the participation of people in learning activities throughout life. There is a growing market to offer learning opportunities in cultural areas but at the same time a lack of knowledge for learners about the “superlearningeffects” by using the cultural environments for learning. In workshops carried through in the participating countries the learners will be trained in different packs, to learn from one another, to exchange and to pass special examples of good practice and to get informed about the growing opportunities to make use of training offers in their own countries in order to enable them to make use in their own countries of these learning opportunities Duration: 2 years Area(s) covered Project Objectives Target Group(s) Funding year: 2nd Active citizenship Arts, music, culture Basic skills Strategy for stimulating/promoting adult learners’ demand for learning Experimentation with new pedagogical approach(es) Methods for providing accreditation of competencies Persons living in rural or disadvantaged areas COMPOSITION OF THE PARTNERSHIP Coordinating institution Name of the organisation: Kulturkuratorin GbR Name of the contact person: Dr. Jutta Thinesse-Demel Address: Geyerspergerstraße 42; D – 80689 München E-mail: [email protected] Tel: +49 (0)89 / 58 06 664 Fax: +49 (0)89 / 58 03 466 Website: Partners Rumsiskes Museum Estate Academy, LT Associazione Culturale "Il Filo d'Arianna, IT APOREM, PT 91 DEUTSCHLAND Project reference: 06-DEU03-S2G01-00229-2 Equal chances Im MitTelpunkt der Arbeit steht der blinde oder sehbehinderte Mensch und seine Chancen in der Gesellschaft. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt der Lernpartnerschaft liegt hierbei auf der europaweiten Verbesserung der Integrationsfähigkeit für diese Menschen. Kern des Projektes ist die Organisation einer bisher nicht vorhandenen multilateralen Kooperation der Bildungseinrichtungen für blinde und sehbehinderte Menschen. Durch Austausch von Erfahrungen über praktische Erleichterungen im Alltag, barrierefreies Lernen und einen effektiven Wissensaustausch zwischen den beteiligten Bildungseinrichtungen wird eine Brücke über die enormen Niveauunterschiede bezüglich technischer Ausstattung und Ausbildungsstandards der beteiligten Projektpartner gebaut. Unser Ziel ist die verbesserte gesellschaftliche Integration, die aktive Teilnahme an der Bürgergesellschaft und die Erfahrbarmachung der europäischen Integration, Chancengleichheit in der Bildung und im Berufsleben für blinde und sehbehinderte Menschen. Die beteiligten Schulen haben sich in dem EU Projekt GD EAC Nr. 55/03 "European Conferences for Equal Chances and Social Integration and against the Discrimination of Disabled People" kennengelernt. Dabei wurde deutlich, dass ein großes Interesse an einer vertiefenden Zusammenarbeit besteht. Im MitTelpunkt dieser Lernpartnerschaft steht daher nun der Erfahrungsaustausch über die didaktische Grundlage und Methodik im Bereich Blinden- und Sehbehindertenbildung, mit Schwerpunkten in den Bereichen IT und Kunst. Dies geschieht auf 3 Netzwerktreffen, die Basis für Lernende und Lehrende, an einem Austauschprogramm teilzunehmen. Ein weiteres MitTel ist Einrichtung eines Internet Forums zum Erfahrungs- und Best Practice Austausch für Schüler und Lehrer der beteilten Bildungseinrichtungen.

What could not be solved were the reasons behind these outcomes. We know that e-learning supplements the range of learning opportunities and that it will meet the need of many for whom conventional education is inappropriate or unavailable – i.e. people living in rural areas and disabled people. Another advantage of e-learning is that it will lead to a better exchange and network both locally and throughout Europe. How can we convince learners/students of e-learning? This learning partnership will focus on a) The tutors/teachers and staff of educational institutes as well as on the companies dedicated to further education. If we can motivate them to methodically apply e-learning to their lessons and to provide a learning infra-structure, it will considerably increase the acceptance of learners/students regarding e-learning. b) The educational institutions which provide the learning environment. They have to provide the infra-structure so that e-learning courses can develop and uncertainty will be removed. Examples of good practices of institutions in Europe will point out that e-learning can add value to the learning experiences.

It aims at promoting the idea of European citizenship according to the motto of the European Constitution “unity in diversity”. We will start by confronting the participants/ learners with their own prejudice and those of others. This will be done through workshops with the learners in each partner organisation. The participants will subsequently initiate learning processes at a national and trans national level. We have to take into account that prejudice might be difficult to overcome but it can also be used as a positive tool for mutual understanding and respect. Finding the common ground of European culture will open learner´s mind to accept diversity and view it as an enrichment of his/her own individual horizon. This will establish innovative methods emerging from the different cultures and an awareness of one´s own identity. It will involve teachers and students alike. The aim is to empower individuals to influence their own situation through better understanding of their own and others´ cultural background. A collective approach to this issue will enhance effectiveness, efficiency and innovation. The exchange of information, ideas and expertise between transnational project partners will take place during seminars and visits in order to : · Deepen the awareness of own cultural identity · Develop and share methods of how to cope with and understand the reasons behind prejudice and xenophobia · Actively involve learners · Take the step from prejudice, to discovery, to curiosity, to reflection · Identify alternative solutions or approaches · Adapt pedagogical approaches to situations in each member state Duration: 2 years Area(s) covered Project Objectives Target Group(s) Funding year: 2nd Learning about European countries/the European Union Intercultural issues Active citizenship Arts, music, culture Languages Strategy for stimulating/ promoting adult learners’ demand for learning Experimentation with new pedagogical approach(es) Young adults at or about to start vocational training and adults alike Migrants/travellers/ethnic or other minorities Young adults at risk of social marginalisation COMPOSITION OF THE PARTNERSHIP Coordinating institution Name of the organisation: Max-Eyth-Schule, Alsfeld Name of the contact person: Arno Zierk Address: In der Krebsbach 8, D – 36304 Alsfeld E-mail: [email protected] Tel: + 49 (0) 6631 / 9670-0 Fax: + 49 (0) 6631 / 9670-35 Website: mes-alsfeld.de Partners Escola Tecnológica, Artistica e Profissional de Pombal, PT Ljudska univerza Kranj, Center za izobraževanje in kulturo, SI Odense tekniske skole, DK Escuela oficial de idiomas de Linares, ES James Watt College of Further & Higher Education, UK Instituto Provincial de Educación de Adultos, ES 94 DEUTSCHLAND Project reference: 06-DEU03-S2G01-00247-2 QualiFLY - Quality in Family Literacy Family Literacy represents an intergenerational and community learning approach – linking elements of adult education, parents’ education and pre-school or primary education – to enhance the literacy of both adults and children and support teachers and parents in preventing future drop-outs.

Die Vereinheitlichung und Verbesserung der Erfahrungen und Arbeitsmethoden durch engere Zusammenarbeit zwischen den neuen und den alten EU Ländern ist eine Chance diese Probleme zu lösen. So ist Ziel des Projektes die Resozialisierungsarbeit in den neuen EU Ländern - unter Berücksichtigung der dortigen personellen und finanziellen Möglichkeiten - zu verbessern/zu bereichern. In Estland und Lettland gibt es viele Inhaftierte mit einer Strafzeit von mehr als 3 Jahren und ihrer Rückkehr in die Gesellschaft nach der Entlassung folgt oft eine erneute Inhaftierung. Um diese Rückfälle zu vermindern muss der Sozialdienst moderne und zweckmäßige Arbeitsmethoden kennenlernen, um sie in ihrer täglichen Arbeit einzusetzen. Der Anteil der drogenabhängigen Gefangenen und deren Probleme ist groß. Sowohl für Estland als auch für Lettland ist die Behandlung entsprechender Straftäter sehr neu. Gleiches gilt auch für die Behandlung von Sexualstraftätern. Das Ziel ist insofern die hier vorhandenen Behandlungsprogramme für die genannten Zielgruppen unter Berücksichtigung der bei den neuen EU Partnern vorhandenen personellen und finanziellen Möglichkeiten zu übertragen.

This project aims to explore best practice in citizenship education for adults, paying particular attention to how to integrate a European dimension citizenship education (i.e. what it means to be a European citizen). The participants will research examples of citizenship education in their own countries. Each partner will then attend 2 workshops accompanied by adult educators from their organisation involved in citizenship education. For the purposes of this project, the learners are adult educators. The first workshop will share experiences and practices and consider common ideas and factors in successful projects, as well as identifying why some projects/programmes are less successful. The second workshop will consider how to integrate a European dimension into citizenship education - where is this happening currently, what works/doesn't work and how practices might be transferred to other settings. From the basis of research and workshops, the project will develop guidelines for promoting best practice in citizenship education for adults, with a particular emphasis on integration of the European Union.

The project arose following a Grundtvig contact seminar in Murcia, Spain”INTERCULTURAL LEARNING IN ADULT EDUCATION” (May 2004). One split into groups where partner countries identified their areas of expertise, the area of language learning and ICT in particular was identified as a common weakness by all partner countries, which had the potential to open up new intercultural teaching and learning opportunities for adult educators and learners. LinxXchange aims to use ICT as a tool to engage students & staff in language learning through the development of a on-line newsletter that can be accessed and updated by students in participating countries. Students will be encouraged to write articles on an aspect of their culture in one of the languages they are studying, to then be submitted to the newsletter. In undertaking this activity the LinxXchange project will directly contribute to the key theme identified as a Grundtvig action, namely to "improve adult learners' knowledge of European languages and cultures". The project will also improve the content and delivery of language teaching and learning, which is cited as a priority area for Grundtvig projects.

Partners will access and identify learner’s competences and develop those competences. Appropriate strategies will be devised to engage, improve, promote, generate and share experiences. Learners will meet in year 2 of the project. “PLACE” will use both qualitative and quantitative analysis. “PLACE” will conclude with a dissemination seminar where a publication relating personal experiences of learners and the seminar report “INPLACE” will be launched. The project will facilitate the development of greater levels of engagement in society by learners not alone at a local level but will broaden horizons at a European level. The project will endeavour to develop meaningful opportunities for people to become active citizens and thereby possess greater levels of competence to become integrated in society in a European and local dimension.

In the various stages of the ALPHABETBOOK the participants will create images that are illustrations of a word that derives from a letter of the alphabet from the culture where they come from. This process will demand skills that have to be learnt and, more important, understanding of various concepts (aesthetic, social, artistic). Each partner will choose their learner’s group, and organize them in workshops. These groups will be selected on the basis on whether the process of the project can help the struggle of the particular group against prejudice and xenophobia. The partners will decide whether they will be working with the same group for the whole period of the program or if they will work with different groups in various periods of time. The process can incorporate art forms other than the visual ones, such as theater or music. The main concept of the ALPHABETBOOK derives from the belief that culture and education are probably the most powerful tools for the empowerment of the individual. The final outcome will be an actual book, the ALPHABETBOOK, and it will prove that various ideas and concepts can find common ground under the same format and thus create new interpretations.

The environmental changes (geographical, geological, climatological, etc) led the “homo sapiens” to the creation of myths for the understanding and interpretation of the phenomena that caused them. These myths are similar in all European nations. The sciences today have come to confirm and interpret with the use of the new technologies (ratio-dating, examination of specks of pollen, Oxygen isotopes, etc) the truth of these sayings. All these myths have influenced the creation and evolution of the European civilization.

In most prisons there are educational activities, but in many cases these activities don’t take on board important issues that affect deeply the life of prisoners: health (problems with addictions), family, prison culture, psychosocial problems, etc…Thus the educational offer is underused and is not as effective as it should be in the social inclusion of inmates. The project intends to face the educational activities in prisons in a coordinated and integral way, working on all the different facts that affect the life of inmates and their coexistence.

Basic skills are acquired in formal education through subject matters like maths, native language, sciences, etc… Social skills are acquired informally, they are not included in a formal curriculum, though they are important to get a job, and when the candidates are deficient in this area, they are bound to be excluded professionally and socially. We intend to analyse the social skills required in social and professional relationships, so that we can determine the concrete training needs of the users of Continuous Training Courses for Adults.

Then the standards and qualifications of staff can be improved to be more competitive.The tendency in the market is the growth of quality tourism with customers more demanding and with a high income that ask for quality services. In all the partner countries there is the feeling and the need to update the tourist services to be able to face the social integration in Europe. Another important objective of the project is that students and trainers can benefit from this transnational experience and improve their foreign language skills. Another objective is to enforce the relationships, exchange and dissemination of good practices and benefit from results of previous projects about these same issues. Then we will provide managers, owners and directors of SME with the exchange of experiences and the sharing of common problems and interests. Each partner will do some analytical research about the help the customers get at local level, their needs and the quality of the service. Then a guide of good practices will be produced that will include methodological approaches to better deal with the services the customers are entitled to. The work of each partner will be included in a CDROM.

The aim is to explore the way the European Reference Framework and the European Portfolio for Languages can be implemented in the teaching/learning of foreign languages in AE. We intend to share our experiences and learn from one another. We have called it e-portfolio because our aim is to promote language learning in our learners in an autonomous and independent way through the use of ICT like internet, E-mail, chats and on-line programmes. We will explore ways that allow adult learners to self-evaluate and self-monitor their progress in this LLL that language learning implies.

There is no organization that can provide the full support and help they need. This project intends to create a framework of integral assistance to facilitate a common strategy. The standards of qualifications are an important element to get a job or to be promoted in a job, and one of the lacking skills is ICT, for the public in general and for disabled persons in particular. That is one of the main barriers for this group in all the participating countries in this LP, and the result is marginalisation, discrimination, difficulties in communication and also in access to services. So far we have exchanged methodologies to improve the implementation of results, we have produced a Website with a forum where participants can exchange ideas, and we have developed courses about digital literacy, exchanged good practices among the participating partners and disseminated the project through social networks. This third year will be devoted to study in depth some of the problems and questions raised in these first two years and to a better and broader dissemination of results.

This gap is crucial to access information, knowledge and education through ICT.

We will pay special attention to those particular points which are more relevant in our areas. As citizens of a changing, plural and democratic society, we understand equality not only as the absence of differences, but also as respect to minorities, to differences, to equality to rights within diversity. We try to help: -promote equality between men and women, fighting gender violence, stereotypes and prejudices. -do away with racist and intolerant attitudes, or social exclusion of minorities. -protect the rights and dignity of citizens and make them aware of their democratic responsibilities. -build a democratic society where we can share peace, multiculturalism and plurality. Our work will be dealing mainly with men and women, immigrants and marginalised minorities and all the problems they usually involve. In the first meeting we will present the priority needs of our areas and we will program the activities accordingly. We will gather information and materials after having dealt with the questionnaires previously applied and answered. We will also compare how the different Rights are dealt with in the various countries and regions, and plan activities to correct anomalies in their use. Then we intend to exchange trainers and learners to live in situ different ways of living in society, and finally, disseminate the results.

Our course proposal for adult educators intends to address all these issues using new methodologies in the light of the psycho-pedagogical research. The main objective of the project is to create an innovative active-learning training course for a broad group of adult educators with the intention of bringing together and adapting various non-traditional user-friendly methods for different subjects, fields, levels and ages of students and countries. During the project phase series of pilot courses will be held in the different partner countries using various languages, and different alternative approaches and avant-garde methods will be presented in several course modules, namely: Motivation in the Adult Classroom, Techniques to increase Self-esteem, Anxiety reduction for Adult Learners, Drama Techniques, Affective Component of Adult Learning and Mental Imagery as a Tool to Foster LLL. Great importance will be given to the European Dimension of the course through European evenings and European learning/teaching “brain-storming”- exchange of ideas and experience and team of trainers from different partner countries.

Ces outils et ces méthodes ont pour objectif de favoriser un dialogue interculturel entre les familles et les professionnels des lieux d'accueil. Ils ont aussi pour objectif de mettre en place une pédagogie en direction des enfants qui les sensibilisent à la diversité. Ces responsables ont eu l'occasion à travers le réseau DECET d'échanger sur ces outils et méthodes et ont constaté qu'elles étaient complémentaires les unes des autres. Parallèlement, chacun des partenaires a mis en place dans son pays des formations et des actions de sensibilisation pour diffuser ces outils et ces méthodes. Il s'agit par ce programme de permettre aux parents et professionnels bénéficiaires de ces formations de participer à des séminaires européens communs pour analyser ces outils et méthodes, en élaborer d'autres, stimuler leur apprentissage et leur engagement, afin qu'eux mêmes puissent à leur tour transmettre et diffuser ces outils et méthodes. Une approche pédagogique participative et adaptée à chacun sera mise en place pour favoriser la participation active de tous les parents et les professionnels (possibilité d'utilisation des langues maternelles, d'activités artistiques...). 2 produits seront réalisés : une vidéo et une plaquette présentant ces différents outils. Ces produits ainsi que les résultats seront largement diffusés au sein des pays partenaires et au niveau européen.

La Communauté européenne à maintes occasions a inscrit cet impératif parmi ses priorités, tout en prenant en compte la nécessité de valoriser les activités économiques et industrielles dans la logique du Développement Durable. Notre projet s'oriente vers une analyse du rôle des TIC dans la sensibilisation des publics adultes à la protection de la nature. L'étude portera plus précisément sur des territoires géographiques qui présentent la double particularité d'être d'une part des zones sensibles du point de vue des écosystèmes végétaux et animaux et d'autre part des régions à forte fréquentation touristique. Dans cette situation paradoxale, il s'agit de voir comment des intérêts à première vue contradictoires peuvent se concilier tout au moins en partie grâce à l'information et à la formation des publics. Il s'agit d'observer les dispositifs mis en place dans plusieurs pays européens par des structures comme les parcs nationaux et régionaux, les collectivités locales et territoriales, les associations, à destination des visiteurs. Puis, après analyse et comparaison, de procéder à un échange de bonnes pratiques. Cette procédure sera facilitée par la mise au point de fiches, site web, colloque.

Si des réflexions se mènent dans ces organisations pour autant, il était important de permettre la montée en compétence, l'enrichissement des acteurs eux-mêmes impliqués dans ces territoires ruraux. C'est pourquoi l'objectif de ce programme consiste à former des acteurs (parents, habitants, professionnels petite enfance, socioprofessionnels, élus locaux, techniciens des municipalités) agissant dans les territoires ruraux. Pour ce faire, ces formations s'appuieront sur l'appréhension et l'acquisition : • de pratiques de terrain et d'expérimentation au travers de visites et de stages • d'apports théoriques et méthodologiques par le biais de séminaires, forum et publications. La base de ce programme est sa dimension collective: échanges dans un même pays et avec les autres pays, avec des acteurs à différents niveaux afin de mutualiser, d'échanger sur ces méthodes et pratiques. Les différents acteurs sont : • les parents qui renforcent leur capacité auprès des enfants et deviennent responsables associatifs de services à l'enfance créant ainsi des dynamiques dans les territoires ruraux • les professionnels (éducateurs, professeurs et techniciens des municipalités) qui renforcent leur compétence professionnelle et leur capacité à encadrer et animer des groupes d'enfants et de parents et à créer du lien avec l'environnement local • les développeurs, coordinateurs et animateurs locaux qui mobilisent les parents, les habitants et les élus locaux en les mettant en relation afin de leur donner la motivation et la capacité d'initier des projets et d'en assumer la responsabilité de fonctionnement dans la durée.

Même si des services et des projets réussis ont été et sont menés dans le champ du conseil et de l'orientation socioprofessionnelle par ces partenaires, ils se retrouvent face à de nouveaux défis. En effet, le développement, au niveau européen de la culture de formation tout au long de la vie implique la création de nouveaux outils, approches et comportements de la part de tous (salariés, entreprises, services d'orientation et de conseil, agences de l'emploi, centres de formation, etc.). Des changements dans les méthodes de travail, de nouvelles méthodes d'apprentissage, de nouvelles manières d'évaluer les compétences et les formations ainsi que la reconnaissance des compétences acquises sont à appréhender et à prendre en compte dans les pratiques professionnelles de chacun. 2 objectifs principaux : - organisation d'échanges et de production d'outils sur et pour les différentes méthodologies et méthodes de conseil et d'orientation socioprofessionnelle aux personnes en recherche d'emploi ou aux personnes souhaitant changer d'orientation socioprofessionnelle (en incluant le bilan et la validation de leurs compétences dans les différents cadres de loi des pays partenaires). - organisations d'échanges et de production d'outils sur et pour le travail qui doit être mené avec les entreprises (spécialement les PME/PMI) pour mieux identifier les compétences dont elles ont besoin et être capable de mieux conseiller les personnes en recherche d'emploi ou celles désireuses d'un changement d'orientation socioprofessionnelle. Au premier niveau seront impliquées les professionnels de l'orientation socioprofessionnelle et les personnes qui travaillent avec les entreprises pour développer des réseaux et des coopérations entre elles et avec elles. Au deuxième niveau seront impliqués les entreprises elles-mêmes et les personnes en recherche d'emploi ou de réorientation socioprofessionnelle dans les années suivantes de ce projet qui aura une durée de 3 ans. Les activités proposées seront des visites d'études entre pays partenaires et des séminaires. Les productions seront des boîtes à outils communes (newsletters, étude de cas et guide de bonnes pratiques).

Un grand nombre de créateurs se retrouvent confrontés à des difficultés lorsqu'il s'agit de recruter du personnel qualifié. Ce projet a pour objectif d'accompagner les responsables et les futurs responsables de ces petites structures (TPE) et de les outiller d'outils mutualisés de gestion leur permettant de mieux anticiper les besoins de leur structure (notamment en matière de formation). Il s'agit aussi de leur permettre de pallier les difficultés liées à la gestion prévisionnelle des compétences au sein de leur propre structure. Il s'agira en effet, tout au long du projet de : - mettre en synergie des partenariats transnationaux et locaux afin de valider les expériences positives et de les transférer dans les pays partenaires. - créer des outils ayant pour objectif de mieux accompagner et suivre les futurs créateurs d'activités ainsi que les repreneurs (entreprises, associations, etc.). - favoriser la création d'espace de communication entre les créateurs et les repreneurs. Les partenaires du projet sont des structures européennes qui aujourd'hui accompagnent les personnes (demandeurs d'emploi, personne en insertion, personnes en reconversion professionnelle) qui souhaitent créer ou reprendre une activité professionnelle. Pour cela, ils souhaitent mutualiser leurs compétences et leurs savoir-faire en matière de suivi, de Coaching, d'évaluation et d'accompagnement. Ceci afin de favoriser et valoriser la création et la reprise d'activités en Europe.

La place des textes écrits pendant la formation, leur utilisation et leur préservation sont un problème majeur en alphabétisation. Pour valoriser et donner un sens à cette étape d'écriture et de lecture, la mise en ligne est un outil efficace qui permet d'actualiser et diversifier le réservoir de lectures des groupes en formation en fonction des intérêts. Dans une démarche commune d'aTeliers d'écriture, la bibliothèque européenne prend en compte toute production écrite quelque soit le niveau du formé pour en faire un outil directement utilisable en cours et à partir duquel se bâtissent des apprentissages. La souplesse de la démarche créatrice incite le stagiaire à devenir curieux et productif. La mise en ligne est une solution réaliste pour la mise à disposition du public à un autre public. Pour cette action nous souhaitons nous appuyer sur une démarche commune.

Ils agissent pour la plupart, en amont de la création d'entreprise et aident, conseillent les porteurs de projet afin de les intégrer dans les dispositifs déjà existant et les accompagner dans cette phase d'apprentissage particulier qu'est la création d'activité. Leur mission est de favoriser l'émergence de nouvelles initiatives créatrices d'emploi et porteuses de cohésion sociale et d'apporter un appui technique et humain aux créateurs. Une fois plongé dans le dispositif prévu, le futur créateur à l'essai est mis en situation "d'entrainement" sans risque. Il bénéficie d'un hébergement juridique, conserve son statut social et ses revenus pendant la période de test de l'activité et peut donc apprendre à entreprendre en situation réelle. Notre projet permettra un échange de bonnes pratiques et d'ingénieries entre les organisations partenaires, la réalisation d'outils européens d'apprentissage et d'aide à l'émergence de projet. Les partenaires ont choisi de positionner leur travail sur le thème du parcours d'accompagnement du porteur de projet. Au cours de séminaires, chaque partenaire explicitera sa façon d'évaluer les compétences des entrepreneurs dans la phase ante-création. Ils travailleront ensemble à la création d'outils qui donnent la capacité de prévoir la réussite du projet de l'apprenant. Le projet conduira à la capitalisation de ces approches à travers la création d'un guide méthodologique, d'un recueil d'expériences innovantes et de la mise en place d'un réseau transeuropéen des couveuses. Des lors, les acteurs concevront de nouveaux outils en lien direct avec l'insertion par l'activité, et donc liés au développement durable.

Les résultats n'ont pas été à la hauteur et la problématique persiste. L'emploi reste donc une priorité au centre des préoccupations des états membres. Ceux-ci ont développé des stratégies d'éducation tout au long de la vie en améliorant la qualité et l'efficacité des systèmes de formation, afin de permettre à tous les individus d'acquérir les compétences nécessaires à une main d'œuvre moderne. Ainsi, les collectivités territoriales ont développé des dispositifs pour répondre aux difficultés de recrutement exprimées par les milieux économiques et pour surmonter les obstacles de l'insertion des publics fragiles. La juxtaposition de ces différentes politiques en faveur de l'emploi des plus démunis n'a pas permis d'obtenir des résultats significatifs. Dans ce contexte, nous proposons de mettre en œuvre une réflexion dans le cadre d'un partenariat transnational pour la construction d'outils visant à améliorer les situations actives d'insertion. Notre action devrait déboucher sur une approche et une lecture globale des difficultés rencontrées par les publics ; une lisibilité de l'ensemble des outils d'insertion et de formation existants ; une mutualisation des bonnes pratiques à l'échelon européen ; une proposition des analyses des pratiques professionnelles transnationales ; une démultiplication des compétences, des expériences et des cultures.

L'Europe élargie à 25, renforce les incertitudes en termes d'emploi pour les chômeurs peu ou pas qualifiées. De nombreuses études démontrent que le chômage persistant conduit à une perte de confiance durable et une appréciation négative des capacités individuelles. Cependant et pour être compétitifs, ces publics doivent démontrer des compétences actualisées et une réelle adaptabilité... En réponse à cette problématique, ce projet vise à améliorer les chances d'accès à l'emploi des adultes au chômage. Plus précisément, il s'agira de produire de la connaissance pour et avec chaque apprenant, afin d'optimiser l'orientation vers l'offre d'apprentissage existante et/ou à construire. Aussi, le processus d'apprentissage intervient comme une étape conduisant à l'emploi. La dimension européenne permettra la réflexion comparée et le transfert des expériences. La démarche consiste à valoriser des connaissances et des compétences dans un projet professionnel. Les activités prévues sur 24 mois, permettront d'expérimenter auprès des publics cibles, la mise en œuvre d'outils et méthodes élaborés en partenariat.

Dans notre société, les individus vivent souvent de façon isolée pour des raisons professionnelles ou de précarité d'emploi. La pratique d'un art ou d'activités musicales, notamment dans le cadre du Chant Choral est source de rencontres, d'échanges, de partages qui conduisent les individus à renouer des liens sociaux qui sont porteurs sur le plan social et économique et sources d'enrichissements culturels. L'ouverture aux pays européens et à leurs ensembles artistiques, instrumentaux ou de choristes, permettra aux apprenants et au personnel de s'approprier de nouvelles richesses culturelles, de découvrir un espace élargi de citoyenneté européenne, voire même dans certains cas d'envisager un emploi dans les pays découverts. La réalisation de manifestations artistiques communes, dans chacun des Etats-Membres partenaires, facilitera la création d'un esprit européen, fait de découvertes et de reconnaissance réciproque.

L'association aura comme objet la formation " tout au long de la vie " des ouvriers du secteur agricole dans des territoires ruraux, où le risque d'exclusion sociale est produit par l'isolement géographique. Nous pouvons repérer tant d'indicateurs spécifiques principaux : a) La diminution de l'indice annuel du taux d'accidents de travail dans des secteurs ruraux, b) l'amélioration de la santé et de la sécurité des ouvriers dans le secteur agricole, c) la promotion de l'égalité des chances entre les hommes et les femmes, d) la promotion de l'utilisation des TIC, e) permettre d'accéder à l'information et à la formation en dehors du travail et de le rendre utile. Afin de réaliser cela, nous présentons 2 groupes d'activités : - Analyses et études des besoins de formation. - Développement et expérimentation des outils et des méthodologies : modules de formation en présentes et modules de formation par Internet avec interactivité constante et un forum virtuel d'étude. En conclusion, il est prévu à la fin du projet la création d'un CD et un site web où seront compilées les clefs nécessaires pour assurer la pérennité de l'association.

The number of car accidents because of drinking and driving is growing; family abuses are frequent; permanent damage to health caused by excessive drinking, even if occasional, is often underestimated by the drinkers themselves. Schools are often ill-equipped to deal with the problem in a serious and really educational manner because of the poor knowledge on the subject that teacher and teacher trainers have. The problem gets worse when the measures are directed to young adults or to the students’ parents. While it is quite simple to involve the students who are attending traditional courses in extracurricular activities on health education, it becomes much more complex to involve 18/30 year-old young adults and even parents in an effective manner. The project is centred on a number of discussion and educational meetings for teachers in order to develp common methodology strategies to take preventative measures against alcohol abuse. A second phase is centred on writing the module and a final one on using the module and accomplishing its objectives. The aim is to make the teachers able to select and write one or more didactic extracurricular modules and to use it/them with adults both in the final phase of the project and in the following years.

Each partner will select a number of disabled people to be involved, and the educators/parents accompanying them. They will be involved in the laboratories of the partner countries and engaged in unusual tasks, as artistic handicrafts, gardening, theatre or music, according to the specific rehabilitation techniques each partner is specialised in. Disabled are expected to develop specific competencies, to face new realities and new challenges: performing activities that other people can do will push them to try hard to succeed. Parents and educators will have a role as learners: the first will modify erroneous attitudes and prejudiced (all/nothing; able/ disabled), when existing; the second will experiment new methods and acquire know-how on how to transfer skills to disabled learners. The activities performed and the outputs (handicraft products, theatre performances..) will be included in a CD to be illustrated in the final conference and distributed to the local community, to encourage policy makers, local administrators and firms to facilitate the labour insertion of disabled people, either by creating protected niches of market or by making tailored tools and opportunities available.

Provided that museum objects can Tell stories about the culture which originates them in very many different ways, depending on how they are interpreted and put into a context, the project aims at developing the competencies of the personnel in charge of museum education to provide them with the skills needed to develop the narrative related to museum items, to communicate it to the public, to involve the public itself in activities of story Telling and engage it in meaning making processes related to the collections. The impact of the project in terms of multicultural learning derives from the fact that the focus will be on two main aspects: Interpreting “foreign” objects to local audiences (therefore bringing out elements to encourage and support intercultural education and communication) Interpreting/ mediating objects belonging to our culture/cultural heritage to audiences of a different cultural background and different ethnic groups. The project will consist mainly in the organisation of meetings, seminar and study visits involving the partners and other adult learners/museum educators with the objective of sharing experiences and developing models of good practice.

On entend effectuer une cartographie des ressources des quartiers relatives à la connaissance du territoire et à la lecture de ceux-ci. Après un recensement des ressources existantes, ce sont les gens eux-mêmes qui seront appelés à devenir des ressources pour eux-mêmes, pour les autres et donc pour le territoire. Les apprenants, une fois approfondies leurs connaissances, se situeront sur la carte, et constitueront ainsi des aTeliers de quartier, "lieux" où expérimenter la citoyenneté active, acquérir de nouvelles compétences et échanger selon des modalités de communication efficaces. Il s’agit donc d’une démarche qui s’appuie sur le principe que toute personne est en soi une ressource pour elle-même et pour la communauté, et que l’estime de soi et la reconnaissance sociale en découlent. C’est ce potentiel d’autonomie et de responsabilité que le projet veut réactiver chez des personnes que l’exclusion sociale a conduites à une autodévalorisation et à la dépendance vis à vis d’institutions sociales. Le résultat de ce travail sera concrétisé dans une vidéo et/ou une exposition photographique qui seront montrées aux citoyens, aux institutions et aux services impliqués dans le projet Duration: 2 year s Area(s) covered Funding year: 1st Citoyenneté active Enjeux interculturels Communication Project Objectives Stratégie pour stimuler / promouvoir la motivation des apprenants adultes Expérimentation d'approches pédagogiques innovantes Target Group(s) Autres groupes économiquement ou socialement défavorisés, personnes au chômage, personnes incarcérées Groupes de la communauté locale Femmes COMPOSITION OF THE PARTNERSHIP Coordinating organisation Name of the organisation: Cooperativa Sociale F.O.L.I.A.S.

Such aim will be achieved through listening and debating activities, which will be coordinated by people working in the musical world, interpreters, composers, organizers of musical events. This will be supported by a proposal regarding the training in basic musical skills, besides guided listening activities, proposal which is addressed to an audience that can be still unaware of scpecific codes and/or knowledge of a cultural heritage. The partners will be given the chance to compare their experience and see which possibility of cultural musical growth can be offered in the territory where their actions take place, also cooperating with other musical entities on the spot. Considering as main aim the diffusion and promotion of basic musical culture and the growth in interest for the classical heritage, partnerships with entities that have non experience in the fields will be privileged.

European Inclusion Network Local organisations have a great importance in the development of citizenship, quality of life, evolution of democracy in Europe and the inclusion of people at risk of exclusion. In fact, local associations answer to the needs and necessities of population in sports, culture, traditions, social and educational spheres, health care services for specific groups, etc. They offer to the community services, social support and animation, which has great influence in social cohesion and development. For this reason they are encouraged (and often financed) by local and regional public administrations. The project intends to develop strategies, methodologies of intervention, common objectives and activities to develop with the partners, exchanging good practises, experiences, learning material and results. Starting from this point, we would like to create a co-operation network among all the organisations engaged or interested into this field, in order to create a synergy between individual support and community development. We are planning to create a database for innovative and successful practices, good strategies and methodologies for inclusion and social development, in order to reinforce the active citizenship of the learners.

Lifelong Info on Studies and Training for Educational Needs The project aims to trace the motivations which drive adult learners coming from different experiences and situations to start school again, and so to develop and increase the motivation to learning of disadvantaged adults (young people socially marginalised, unemployed, people in prison etc.) and to improve the professional skills and competence of the teachers through the exchange of good practice. In the first year the teachers will meet twice and will create a portfolio with the information of their experiences. The experiences of the teachers, dealing with innovative approach, solution of particular problems, particularly motivating methodologies etc. will be presented during a seminar and will be collected in a CD-Rom or in another suitable form, in English. This will encourage the teachers to use their abilities in the use of the technical equipment and of the English language, both essential in school today. During the second year the methodology of biography will be used to motivate and encourage adult learners in their learning path. They will be invited to write their personal stories as adult learners. Every partner will choose 3-4 stories that will be translated in English and collected in a CD-Rom. The students will compare their experiences in a workshop during a meeting. In every meeting the hosting partner will organise the educational visits and will invite experts to talk on social aspects in adult education.

The project intends to reach these goals through a wide choice of activities such as the “Theatre of the Oppressed by August Boal” or the traditional theatre, arts and photography, courses and meetings, workshops, fieldworks and more. Through this partnership we would like to learn different ways of approaching the young adults and adults so that they take part in the public/political life. At the end of the project we want that all the people involved in it – teachers and learners – choose a specific and practical action of public relevance, do it as a test of people democracy. In addition, we expect the young adults find a space of participation to the community life through which to speak to the local Institutions.

Developments in new technologies, especially computing and Telecommunications will transform the opportunities available for adult learners. They will make some forms of learning more accessible to some people, but may risk excluding those who do not have access to computers or who lack confidence to use them. The project would suggest that learning how to use a computer may help to compensate for some of the problems and conditions which commonly accompany older age. Ageism can lead to the social exclusion of older people, particularly if we understand “social exclusion” to mean more than a simple lack of economic resources. Age is a major discriminating factor in computer use in many countries: demographic researches today show that there are more elderly people in society than ever before, but the number of older old people using computers is nevertheless small compared with other age groups. The project aims to identify/study the needs of older in order for them to take part in the evolving Digital or Information society and investigated appropriate ways of meeting those needs.

It works bottom up through a biographical approach to identify success and failure experiences. How do gender and migrant background interact with the access to the VET-System as well as to informal learning processes in the receiving society? The suppositions of the project partners – drawn from their professional context – will be questioned by experiential knowledge of people concerned.

The personal supply of action is shaped by factors like migration experience, gender, cultural background, family as well as political and economical boundary conditions in the receiving society. In the spirit of Gender Mainstreaming we aspire to find out which ways do specifically support female and male migrants. In view of all influencing factors every person has to be considered as a unique human being with a unique and unrepeatable life experience. Support has to consider the unique situation of each person.

L'appropriation des TIC nécessite la mise en place de politiques volontaristes dans le secteur de l'éducation/formation/insertion afin d'éviter qu'un fossé ne se creuse entre " ceux qui savent " et " les autres ". Au delà de ce constat évident, il s'agit aussi, dans un monde où les TIC sont devenues des outils de travail et de communication incontournables d'éviter que les méthodes d'enseignement, les modes de communication et les activités de consommation en ligne posent des obstacles supplémentaires à l'intégration des personnes défavorisées ou en situation de recherche d'emploi. Donc, les technologies recèlent un potentiel énorme peu exploité en matière d'insertion socioprofessionnelle, qu'il vaut la peine de stimuler et de valoriser par une " alphabétisation technologique ". Les partenaires de ce projet échangeront et expérimenteront au travers de visites d'étude et de séminaires sur des méthodes pédagogiques d'enseignement des TIC pour favoriser les parcours d'insertion socioprofessionnelle et pour développer et assurer des méthodologies et moyens d'apprentissage tout au long de la vie. Des échanges thématiques (citoyenneté, mixité, éducation) entre stagiaires et personnel pédagogique permettront à ceuxci d'expérimenter ces TIC, tandis que les formateurs pourront ainsi affiner les outils et méthodes développées.

Life Long learning for immigrant offers a better chance of freedom and citizenship feeling beyond the demand and obligation of the labour market. It opens chances for a self-determined life in a weak sector of the society, in the sense of further personal growth and social integration.

Studying the concept of diversity we have developed tolerance, multicultural education, promoted peace and friendship among European countries. However, identity can be a dangerous concept because, frequently in the past, it has been the origin of contrasts and wars, but also the origin of Home, legality, and welfare. Our Home is now Europe, therefore we have to study European identity in all its aspects otherwise we would only have a technical union, thus losing the best part of our own culture. Some months ago we signed the European Constitution in Rome, now we have to build the European people; otherwise this Fundamental Law could become a chart and not the Chart. We think that European identity will grow around 2 angular stones: knowledge and work so our project intends: 1) To develop the employability and adaptability of our students/workers 2) To improve the formative offer of our schools 3) To improve the net knowledge in didactic environment. 4) To test the process of cooperative learning, using ICT among different people 5) To contribute in giving to the workers an effective/real right to work in any country of the EU.

The Project will promote a boarder awareness of other European cultures and tradition, and an opportunity to learn and share trans-European experience at first hand for groups of older people who may have faced significant social and economic barriers to continuing education. By working primarily through a visual medium, the Project will minimise the difficulties arising from the lack of a common language, recognising that the majority of participant have faced significant socio-economic barriers to the acquisition of foreign language skills. The Project will enhance the confidence and self-esteem of teachers and learners by recognising the importance of their skills, & providing opportunities for these skills to be shared across a number of countries and cultures.

In some old EU countries, e.g. Ireland, there are good solutions of the problem found, but in new EU member states the problems of deaf people considering good social communication and lifelong learning are very actual. The integration of deaf people into community as well as into labour market is still complicated. The problem is even more acute in rural areas, regions and countryside. Deaf and hard of hearing people are a very special and reserved part of community, which need to be accepted and motivated in and by the community? The main target audience is the leaders and workers of NGO-s and other organisations working with deaf and hard of hearing people. During the implementation of the project the target group will be acquainted with the conditions and background of the work of the Irish Health Service Executive, his social partners and other organisations in partner countries. The long-term objectives are improving the position of deaf and hard of hearing people in the community, helping them to break out of social isolation and developing social skills by improving their basic competences for better participation in society, and to help deaf and hard of hearing people enable their dialogue with the hearing world. During the project some partners will research the situation of young adult deaf people, to clarify the main problems and to work out the proposals of solution for new EU member states on the basis of experience of old EU member states. Our aim is to help citizens with special needs to take full advantage of the benefits that new information technology can offer them as a factor of social integration and improvement of their quality of life.

The main objective is to do a comparative analysis for identifying the impact of non-formal and informal education and training on the development of active citizenship amongst young adults. The learning partnership will focus, in relation to active citizenship, on the following issues: concepts in different countries (links between informal/non-formal learning and different concepts in respect to skills that build active citizenship); lifelong learning objectives (links between learning for active citizenship, prevention of failure and school drop-out, social cohesion, and employability); demand (motivation and benefits of learning skills for active citizenship, ways of advocating for active citizenship skills); etc. The knowledge, skills and understanding residing from this learning partnership identifies aspects of citizenship in which the young adults can make progress: how to become informed citizens; how to develop skills of inquiry and communication; how to develop skills of participation and responsible action.

We need relevant and precise information discussing possibilities and making decisions. A professional advice can often help to clarify a situation. Future of counseling and orientation can be called ‘brokerage”. An “orientation broker”, having in mind a client’s interests and applying broad knowledge, can decide which direction it is better to act. All these reasons define the need of counseling and orientation services to become more “holistic” and able to satisfy wide needs and requirements of a diverse society. Not only counselors that orientate the long - termed unemployed, ex-convicts, young adults with low basic skills and without clear vision of their professional career, and disabled persons, must have especially deep knowledge and good skills, but every member of the modern society has to be able to plan its professional career. A great importance of this project is that project participants and learners would get acquainted with influence of cultural differences on the process of counseling and orientation that is, what priorities have citizens of different countries and what life values are most important for them. All this could help to orientate for the common European labors market and better integrate into national labors markets. Counselors use methods that often differ in various European countries. The aim of the project is to get knowledge on most progressive vocational counseling and orientation methods in the countries project partners and compile a Career Management Portfolio that could be used not only by counselors, but by all persons going to plan their career. Communication of the project partners and learners in English, Polish and German during workshops and study visits will develop their language skills (many of the project participants know these languages) and allow learning some basics of Spanish, Italian and Lithuanian languages. Career counselors will not only learn new methods, but convey novelties and share their new experience with their colleagues in their native countries. The Career Management Portfolio will be put on the Websites of the partners and printed in paper.

We would like to raise adult learners’ motivation in understanding different cultures. Participation of the students will not only result in a better intercultural awareness and combat stereotypes but also improve their knowledge in the foreign language and computer skills. Specific: We will set up an open learning platform where information and experiences will be exchanged in order to facilitate the study of the chosen language. The adult learners would also be able to access teaching materials that would enable them to master the foreign language offered by the organization (Dutch, French, English, Spanish, Catalan, Lithuanian, Russian, etc.). It is of course welcome that adult learners and teachers will be encouraged to submit materials in this platform. The offered open learning platform would feature social, cultural and economical aspects and traditions of the different countries. We will give special attention to social disadvantages and minorities to join the project.

However, former prisoners often have inadequate education, underdeveloped work skills and other difficulties, which create significant obstacles when seeking employment. That is why it is very important to improve learning and skills opportunities for offenders, both in prisons and in the community, so that they are less likely to re-offend and have a better chance of moving into jobs and playing a positive role in society. The project "Disseminating European experience on development of entrepreneurship skills of ex-prisoners" will develop specific methodological tools to provide ex-prisoners with skills necessary for creation a successful business (how to know your customer, test and protect your product, test distribution, create a business plan, find the best legal structure, business model, organization plan, marketing plan, financial plan, put together a start up team, etc.) or for finding adequate employment (handling paperwork, finding employment support programs, locating jobs, preparing for interviews, filling out applications and answering questions about having been incarcerated, etc). The project will be developed by various types of institutions (training / consulting centres, NGOs, universities, prisons) having experience in different European countries.

The students are also introduced to the other participating countries’ folk and prison cultures. The target group includes learners studying literacy from basic to intermediate levels, and they produce writings on the topics of folk and prison cultures. The writings are compiled into reading books that suit the specific age and cultural needs of adult learners in a prison environment. This inspired the title of the project: ”By Learners, for Learners”. Materials to the reading books are contributed by all participating institutions and are translated to all languages involved. Texts for the reading books are also selected by the learners. Materials that could not be included in the compilations are posted on a project Website, where we hope that relatives will be able to access it, and the participating institutions can organize them into smaller reading books suitable for local use. The Hungarian partner serves as coordinator, the British partner takes care of the editing and printing of the reading books, the Belgian partner runs the Website, and the Portuguese partner prepares documentation for the renewal process and other reports.

According to the present necessities of the rural zones, the project will be based on the not regulated vocational training that affects the impulsion of new occupations related to the conservation and involution of the environment as a resource for the sustainable development of these zones. In order to achieve these goals in 2005, during the starting year of the project, members of the learning partnership managed to exchange their experiences about the training strategies and they created a survey about the good practices. As a result of the learning partnership the strong and weak points of the pedagogical methods used in the not regulated vocational training of each region or country had been analysed. Taking into account the results of the analysis the partnership elaborated methods suggested for use, which will be tested and followed by the experts’ and trainers’ exchange of experiences within the frame of the renewed project. As a particular result of the project a CD-Rom of pedagogical methods will be created to collect the good practices detected in the analysis. This will allow consecutive training for teachers and the cooperation between the new and old European member states. The result of the project will have an effect on the training guidelines and the good practices are expected to fit into the regional or national system of education.

Parenting is the most important and challenging role that is undertaken by most adults. However the skill of parenthood is not one that is acquired automatically once a couple becomes a mother and a father. Parents need all the assistance available from society at large particularly from adult education institutions.. This project is informed by liberatory philosophy education. It is envisaged that through this partnership parents acquire a deeper understanding of their situation, as parents of adolescents and feel empowered that through their capabilities they are able to take action. The partnership will study the processes including reciprocal socialisation, and the family as a system, the developmental construction of the relationships, maturation of the adolescent and the maturation of the parents, socio-cultural, historical changes and the family life cycle. They will also analyse parenting techniques and parent-adolescent conflict, autonomy and attachment in adolescence. The partnership will aim to develop a model that could contribute to create and strengthen the cooperative relationships between adults and adolescents that will be used as a model for democratic living and training ground for democratic leadership. There are 9 partners from 8 countries: Malta, Slovenia, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Italy (2), and Germany.

Looking both ways The project involves five partners from EU countries, some experienced and some novices in European co-operation. The main goal of the project is to develop and share expertise among the learning partners about the tool of forum theatre as a means to increase people’s awareness of their own roots and to deepen their understanding of different cultural backgrounds. C’you – C’me aims to raise people’s (people disadvantaged for socio-economic reasons, persons living in rural or disadvantaged areas, women) conscious awareness of the cultural traits and specifics they are born into, by exposing them to a different language and culture. Through desk and field research they explore and learn to understand a foreign culture, which is then displayed in a forum theatre role-play, played by the researchers and trained actors. The results of research in form of the interactive role-play are put on stage in the host countries with an active role of the audience. All researcher and actors are part of the audience in case of a role-play, done by another partner and experience themselves and their culture through the eyes of the observers – like a mirror role-play. The stage role-play and interactive audience responses are kept on video and are displayed to a larger audience throughout a culture festival.

This learning partnership aims to mobilise resources and improve competence among the partners for training, education of the adults working in the medical field with an interest in epilepsy (PAMs) such as pharmacologists, EEG technicians, neuropsychologists, sociologists, nurses, social workers, social educators, and physiotherapists, as well as the persons with epilepsy themselves. There are very fast scientific developments in the various interdisciplinary medical interventions required in this condition and several PAMs would never have had the opportunity to learn, in an organised manner, the concepts skills required for these new tools. This project would help to establish co-operation in Europe in this area of adult training. This project would thus provide European professionals allied to medicine (PAMs) with tools and methods to improve knowledge and expertise to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment in epileptology and thus help to improve the quality of care to patients with epilepsy. The partners all belong to the European Epilepsy Academy (EUREPA), the agency of the International League against Epilepsy, responsible for European Education, in collaboration with the International Bureau of Epilepsy (IBE). Some preliminary work has already been undertaken in the assessment of the needs of more structured epileptological education for PAMs and establishing a curriculum and an educational network of co-operating centres.

Each participating institution will choose its target group (such as prisoners, immigrants, unemployed women etc.) These groups may vary but these participants all have to be unemployed. Through the administration of a questionnaire the problems that the target group (ages 16 to 40) mainly encounter will be identified. After which a programme of studies (using art as a medium but also introducing the group to a cyber world) will be devised. This programme will be administered to 15 unemployed persons from each participating country. The aim of the project is to help participants, who have previously found difficulties in securing a job, by teaching them new skills (e.g. computer literacy), and empowering them to go to seek a job (e.g. motivation). A Website will be created were staff can exchange ideas and introduce discussion forums. The project material will be available on the site. At the end of the project all resources will be available on a CD-Rom. This and a final conference further facilitate distribution.

The project focuses on two actors in this sector: organisations for rural development and providers of adult education. Both have in common that they want to support social development, life quality and local entrepreneurship in their areas and agree that education is a key factor to realise this. Organisations for rural development realise many activities that have to do with education. Educational providers offer good programmes, which however in many cases, do not have a clear relation with the situation in the rural sector. The main project aim is to link these two worlds that work rather separaTely: educational providers and organisations for rural development (local Leader-groups and others). The project partners, and their regional second circles, will exchange innovative strategies to make life more attractive in the rural areas/villages, discuss how to organise lifelong learning as a continuous project in the rural area, and analyse the possibilities of meaningful cooperation between the two sectors. Some keywords: local economy projects, multifunctional community centres, rural tourism, etc. The main activities of the project: international seminars with exchange of good practices, field visits and regional second circle activities.

Citizenship is a two-way process, involving rights and responsibilities and nowadays most governments realise that it is essential to involve citizens in planning and decision-making. However, the most disadvantaged groups often remain difficult to reach or to motivate. Project partners will exchange good practices on active citizenship and will, with their own target groups, endeavour to raise awareness of the pathways to engagement. This project will concentrate on a number of areas, including finding new ways to accredit skills and knowledge based on learners’ (previous) experiences and will explore new methods to reach, understand and empower hidden communities. The project group is keen to explore the dynamics of bottom-up / top-down methods of active citizenship, and will develop a toolkit out of its findings, in the form of a “compendium of shared learning”.

The integration of European professionals in the real world of immigrants has been taboo. The aim of this project is to develop a wide network of European countries dealing with integration policies and integration of minorities. The involvement of professionals in this learning partnership project will be an eye-opener to realize that while making an integration policy program for immigrants one should first focus on the needs and expectations of the people who will work with the target group. For a well prepared integration means not only dismantling of the barriers which prevent many immigrants from participating in local cultural life, but also enabling policy makers and educators to understand easily what are the needs and wishes of the target group. The main objectives are: - To raise awareness of the importance of this issue as a tool for implementing the intercultural competence; - To increase the motivations of educators and policy makers involved in this integration field through their involvement in this project; - To establish a network for European discussion on the intercultural competence. The target groups are policy makers, educational researchers, educational institutions that are involved in integration programs. Expected output a conference, video, handbook, documentation, a network and further project proposal. The last forum in The Netherlands will focus on the presentation of the video and on issues of good practice. All interested parties will attend.

Therefore learners and teachers are brought in contact in order to exchange experiences and examples of good practice. Together the actors in this project will investigate what existing materials and methods (for learning a new language and knowledge of society) used in their country are successful; teachers will exchange expertise and learners will become more aware of their role as European citizen, because they get a realistic view on their new country, its inhabitants and values. Learners will learn from each other by talking together frequently, using MSN (computer chatting). They can share their experiences and help new migrants to learn about their new country. They will also visit each other’s countries, in order to complete the picture. Teachers will visit each other’s classes, learn from their methods, and learn to understand each other’s values, way of life.

In most countries those who have the knowledge of traditional skills are "older" and therefore in many cases there is an urgency to capture as many of these talents before this generation dies. Our aim is to capture and record at least one “skill” from each country, creating possible groups of skilled people who could provide mentoring and assist with training future generations. Furthermore we aim at compiling all the various methods and possibilities that are used in the participating countries to pass and teach these crafts and skills. Learners will be part of the project process by feeding back how they would like to learn (time of day, venue, and length of session) and they will be invited to show their new talents and participate actively in the final exhibition or product. The project will invite a number of rural organisations, which have access to learners from different socio- economic groups (ex offenders, travellers …) Finally there is a joint product such as a DVD or a pictorial display with can be shown in each country or a Website.

The project will take specific measures to promote intercultural education. It will involve learners in the investigating of historical influences that have occurred. The methodologies used will incorporate information technology and the teaching of presentation skills. Learners in the host country will give a presentation on their area and the historical influences that have shaped it. The learning will be further enhanced through learner exchanges (the main thrust of the project). Learners will visit partner countries and will identify the historical similarities that have shaped the development of Europe.

Safety concerns everyday life. Safety awareness of the citizen is not achieved by law. Prescriptions have only favourable effects, if their sense is understood. SGE aims at motivation of the active knowledge citizen concerning safety competence. Life long learning is necessary for achieving those knowledge and skills allowing knowledge- based self protection and enabling to take knowledge-based decisions. The target group of the SGE are adults having to be encouraged to life long learning. Adults are often sensitised by their children in sense of family education, the reason why besides the informal education the formal one is important. Special risk competence must be provided for disabled persons. SGE also improves the teaching methods in formal and non- formal education. Tutorial has to provide also methodical- didactical competence for improving the learner’s motivation. The partnership will exchange their different priorities to develop a “good practice” on a European platform with educational publications. Educational curricula as well as teaching and learning material available for every learner and teacher, integrating the different fields of safety are developed. Women are encouraged to become active also as trainers.

This interaction will take place in workshops where intercultural differences can be explored, discussed and solutions for conflicts and misunderstandings can be developed. The main resources in our project for gathering information about the different cultures in the historic archetypal knowledge we find in fairytales, myths, legends and sagas of the respective countries. To access this knowledge learner will be shown how to use drama methods such as the Galli Method and the psychodrama to discover cultural specifics in a creative way. The knowledge gained through the process will then be shared in public performances, workshops and conferences with a culturally mixed audience of learners such as teachers, social workers, distance students, seniors, the unemployed, and the broad local community. In the process, a communication of friendship between citizens of the participating countries will be developed. Within the dissemination activities there will be published articles, designed new syllabi for intercultural communication and a new methodology for teaching intercultural sensitivity will be elaborated and applied. As a project result a DVD will be produced that shows cultural specifics based on mythological aspects in an artistic way.

But we know that peace as the absence of war is often rather the threatening or arming for wars. Peace must be more- something quite different. Therefore this project aims to visualize and illustrate peace as something new, we don’t yet know. And how could we live it if we don’t know it? We have encouraged young people in European institutions to develop ideas accordingly in images, music, dance, theatre, photos etc. On April 19th we are organising a peace conference in remembrance of Bertha von Suttner and her innovative peace activities. It will be a conference with unusual approaches, combining an exhibition of the workshop results with a panel discussion of young people with international peace activists. We will invite delegates of all groups to Vienna, where they introduce their working results and discuss it with international peace activists. An accompanying documentation and scientific study will be published. We want to continue our learning partnership and to work on questions which are arising through the outcomes. We want to analyze the working results and to reflect on possible consequences: + What can be done to overcome the mechanism of reproducing familiar and harmonious images of peace? + What would be an encouragement to break open towards new representations for the idea of peace? + We want to experiment with a broad approach towards a definition of peace as individual and social energy. + And which would then be the consequences for peace- pedagogical approaches?

The special requirements of the 50+ about foreign languages and cultures shall be explored by use of evaluation forms and experience reports from participating institutions. Also, bilateral meetings of teachers accompanied by seniors’ pupils will contribute to the exchange of knowledge gained through experience. Apart from attending a language course, the above-mentioned measures to enhance the language skills of the 50+ can include the change to get to know people in other countries and/or find out more about one another via internet and letters. In addition to that, there is an optional exchange of teachers and/or senior pupils. Ideally, practising sports and/or dance with inhabitants of the guest- nation becomes a test of both sportive and lingual abilities. Besides, it gives rise finding things one has in common with each other and the feeling of community, friendship and/or sportive comradeship. Pen pal friendships, internet and the like enable participants of language courses to develop a serious interest in positive feelings toward foreign European people, languages and cultures.

The Grundtvig 2 learning partnership wants to discover and investigate frame conditions for successful Telelearning and Teleworking approaches. Within the learning partnership we want to focus on a certain special target group which should be one of the main profiting out of Telelearning and Teleworking- women in rural/ post industrial (possibly re- entering the labour market after maternal leave, divorce, need of a second earner in a family, etc.) In a co-operational approach through the analysis of good and bad practice examples and principles in the different participating countries and regions we want to investigate the necessary frame conditions for successful Telelearning and Teleworking approaches for this target group. Within the partnership we will establish evaluation factors for the evaluation of good and bad practice examples in the single partner organisations, in the second phase the concept of peer evaluation will be applied, where partner organisations will mutually evaluate their experiences and approaches on a bilateral basis including mobility staff and learners. The result of the peer evaluation phase will be integrated into a European report during the last phase of the learing partnership.

Der Dialog zwischen Sozialarbeit und Bildung in Bezug auf „Integration“ soll über folgende FragesTellungen erfolgen: Wie wäre Integration als gegenseitiger Prozess beschreibbar, der auch die „Mehrheit“ einbezieht, in die Verantwortung nimmt und unterstützt? Welche gemeinsamen, bzw. ergänzenden Aufgaben ergeben sich daraus? Bildung, welche Kooperationsformen sind denkbar? Ziel der Lernpartnerschaft wäre, sich mit diesen Fragen auseinander zu setzen. Da es bei diesem Thema immer auch um eine Auseinandersetzung mit erlebter Macht bzw. Ohnmacht geht, scheint uns ein integrierter Diskurs von Theorie und Praxis unerlässlich.

There are indications to believe that the awareness of global crisis is based on cultural constructions. The ideas of “world”, “end of the world”, “salvation of the world” are influenced by old narratives, than the tackling of global crisis could be seen as an intercultural task. The learners will observe the perception of the global crisis phenomena (for example: change of climate) in their country and the international efforts to tackle the crisis (for example: through world- conferences, concepts of sustainable development, millennium – targets). The observed discussions are going to be compared according to a defined concept. Especially interesting could be the comparison between societies with protestantic, catholic, orthodox or Muslim background. The knowledge gained will finally be transferred in a game: The spaceship earth is caught in a problem. The multicultural crew (portrayed in likeness of the European society) tries to analyse the problem, understand the situation and to deal with it together. As a result, a collection of materials, better a text for a play or a musical shall be created.

The main goal of the project is to develop and share expertise among the learning partners about the tool of forum theatre as a means to increase people’s awareness of their own roots and to deepen their understanding of different cultural backgrounds. C´you – C´me aims to raise people’s conscious awareness of the cultural traits and specifics they are born into, by exposing them to a different language and culture. Through desk and field research they explore and learn to understand a foreign culture, which is then displayed in a forum theatre role- play, played by the researchers and trained actors. The results of research in form of the interactive role-play are put on stage in the host countries with an active role of the audience. All researchers and actors are part of the audience in case of a role- play, done by another partner and experience themselves and their culture through the eyes of the observers- like a mirror role- play. The stage role- play and interactive audience responses are kept on video and are displayed to a larger audience throughout a culture festival.

The partners have the possibility to carry out common research and to exchange each other on a self- defined subject with changing emphasis on different field of attention. The main subjects are peace and global learning and within this context the partners work together on the fields of intercultural communication, improvement of relations to ethnical or gender minorities in their own surroundings, new forms of learning for lesser qualified members of society, information competence and its relevance for democracy and try to express their results in different forms of publications and art forms. The theoretical part of the study circle is guided with a practical travel to the roots of adult education where knowledge and practical skills are generated, i.e. places like libraries, museums, fabrics, universities, artistic studios, etc. and reflected in group based work in its local context.

At present the majority of these workers, are now retired facing their old age in the country of immigration. Social exclusion, social isolation increases with the passing of time without the linguistic and educational and social skills, required to overcome this situation. Therefore, one of the main goals must be to encourage various forms of self aid organisation among the elderly migrants. Another is the adjustment of the educational system to meet elderly migrant’s needs. FRISM 50+ will look at ways how to find, reach and involve senior migrants (50+) in learning opportunities. In FRISM 50+ every partner of the learning partnership has its own topic to try out. Exchange of information and expertise will take place through visits and joint activities involving learners and network organisations. From this, the partnership will work towards producing a final product published on the partner Web sites. Throughout the duration of the project learners and people in the 50+ age group will play an active role in activities, visits and the production of the final product.

Sie alle verbindet das generelle Ziel, Individuen zu bestärken, zur nachhaltigen Entwicklung unserer Gesellschaft beizutragen und aktive Bürger/innen in ihrer Gemeinde zu werden. Die Zugänge und pädagogischen Methoden zur Erreichung dieses Ziels sind von Organisation zu Organisation verschieden. Nachdem die Partnerorganisationen bereits Erfahrungen auf ihrem jeweiligen regionalen und nationalen Niveau gesammelt haben, haben sie sich mit diesem Projekt zum Ziel gesetzt, von den Erfahrungen der anderen zu lernen, um auf diese Weise ihre eigenen pädagogischen Methoden in der Praxis zu bereichern und zu verbessern. Alle Organisationen haben unterschiedliche Herangehensweisen, wenn es um das Erreichen verschiedener Zielgruppen in unterschiedlichen sozialen Zusammenhängen, wie etwa in der Großstadt, in entlegenen ländlichen Gebieten, in Dörfern, in Industriegebieten, etc., geht. Mit dem Austausch sollen Methoden, wie äußerst unterschiedliche Zielgruppen erreicht werden können, erkundet werden, und es soll die Möglichkeit entstehen, von den verschiedenen Erfahrungen der Partnerorganisationen zu profitieren. Zum Abschluss des Projekts wird eine internationale Konferenz stattfinden, auf der die Ergebnisse anderen interessierten Organisationen und Initiativen in Europa präsentiert und mit diesen diskutiert werden.

Um die gleichberechtigte Teilnahme von Frauen an politischen Entscheidungsprozessen zu fördern ist es nötig, Programme zu entwickeln und durchzuführen, welche die vielseitigen Potentiale junger Frauen als Ansatzpunkt für ihre spätere aktive Partizipation und Mitbestimmung nehmen. Young Woman: Fit for Politics! ist eine einmalige Initiative, die interessierte und engagierte junge Frauen in die Position versetzt, aktiv für eine Sache einzutreten und einen Beitrag für die Gesellschaft zu leisten. Sie soll die Horizonte der teilnehmenden Frauen mit Rücksicht auf ihre direkte Umwelt erweitern und grenzenüberschreitende Projekte sowie langfristige Kontakt initiieren. Das Hauptziel des Projekts besteht darin, in jungen Frauen zwischen 16 und 25 Interesse für Politik zu wecken und Möglichkeiten und Chancen aktiver politischer Partizipation zu trainieren und anzubieten, sowie die Vermittlung konkreter „Führungsqualifikationen“ (wie Rhetorik, Präsentationstechniken, Durchsetzungsfähigkeit, Selbstsicherheit, konsensorientiertes Diskutieren, Teamarbeit, etc.). Diese Ziele werden durch die Entwicklung eines interaktiven Curriculums erreicht, welches praktische Übungen ebenso wie theoretischen Hintergrund für das als Workshop durchgeführte Training von Führungsqualifikationen enthält. Schließlich wird einmal pro Jahr in jedem Land ein Modell-Workshop organisiert, bei dem 10-20 Frauen trainiert werden. Der Workshop enthält Exkursionen zu politischen und zivilgesellschaftlichen Organisationen und wird den jungen Frauen weibliche Rollenmodelle als Expertinnen vorsTellen.

Die Regionen, in denen das Projekt stattfinden soll, zeichnen sich durch besonders schützenswerten Naturraum aus. Dies ist jedoch von der Bevölkerung oft nicht nachvollziehbar bzw. birgt Konfliktpotential in sich, weil es kaum ausreichend Information dazu gab. Durch das Wissen um die Wichtigkeit und die Schönheit „ihres“ Naturraumes sollen eine neue Wertigkeit und Stolz auf die Region entstehen. Weiters sollen die Lernenden angeregt werden, sich selbst mit ihrer Region zu beschäftigen. Da eine Auseinandersetzung mit Natur auch immer mit der sozialen, kulturellen und historischen Dimension der dort lebenden Personen zu tun hat, erfolgt eine umfassende Sicht auf die eigene „Heimat“. Die Ergebnisse („Gelerntes“ und selbst recherchierte Inhalte) sollen in einer öffentlichen AussTellung in der jeweiligen Region präsentiert werden und anschließend zusammengefasst als WanderaussTellung wiederum in jedem PartnerInnenland gezeigt werden. Als zusätzlicher Schritt soll die Einbeziehung von Land Art KünstlerInnen (Land Art ist eine Kunstrichtung, bei der KünstlerInnen vor Ort in der Natur, oft mit dort vorgefundenen Naturmaterialien arbeiten und Besonderheiten durch künstlerische AusdrucksmitTel verstärken) eine neue Sichtweise jenseits der herkömmlichen naturwissenschaftlichen Annäherung ermöglichen.

The project shall bring together adult trainers from organizations with expertise in non-formal education, which will exchange and enrich practices, knowledge and methods in culture management and cultural entrepreneurship training and its social aspects in terms of disadvantaged areas. Adult trainers from 5 countries will raise their key competences through preparation and participation in 3 thematically defined seminars summarizing the theoretical and applied knowledge of the respective country. The participants of the learning partnership will transfer European models at national and local levels by organizing trainings with selected target groups of learners (15 in each country) who are local developers.

Participants – organisations from Czech Republic, Greece, Poland, Slovakia and the United Kingdom (Northern Ireland) will design a training programme for parents and teachers on the transition-facilitating use of the Project Approach. In the first year each organisation will collect information about the practices adopted in its country and will present them at a seminar in Poland during which the training programme objectives will be agreed. The organisations will then develop training scenarios to be discussed at the next seminar in Ireland. The outcomes of the first year will be training scenarios and educational materials. In the second year a pilot scheme will be implemented in different communities (including disadvantaged ones) and an information guideline will be prepared. Parents and pre-school/primary-school teachers will use the newly acquired knowledge and skills to devise and launch transition-to-school programmes. This will help produce a guideline brochure (with examples of best practices) publicising the project’s effects. The project will involve 3-5 staff members (including at least 2 trainers), and about 40 learners in every country.

We are focusing on different aspects of teaching/learning process and also how to improve the functioning of elderly citizen in the Information Society. IT skills have become “basic skills”. Without them it is very difficult to function in the modern world. Although in all European countries the population of seniors is growing, their IT skills remain very low. There are very few initiatives in Europe trying to solve this problem. Our project has the aim of trying to fill this gap. We are planning a 3-years project which will reach 7 partners from 7 different countries in the last year. The work will be centered about 7 seminars: one in each partner-country. Each partner is responsible for planning and running one seminar devoted to one subtopic. Furthermore each partner organizes a few Internet activities for all partners. Both teachers and senior students are involved in this activity. We design and run a special webpage where we can collect and share information and experiences from all partners. We are developing and testing an universal curriculum of the basic computer course for seniors.

The project program is aimed at people living in various weakly urbanized environments: countryside and small towns. The accomplishment of the project will be a multistep program that starts at local government office (employment agency). The objectives are: To identify professional activity areas desirable in a given environment; To encourage unemployed to start their own business; To identify and apply IT to various professional activities (e.g. commerce, services); To apply IT job searching and as means of job offering. The teaching process will mostly be based on an e-learning platform and will be aimed to show the methods of job search with help of IT (data based, offer search). The project will also teach the ways of giving job offers (www pages creation, data bases creation, becoming an agent on a job market). Resulting products will be trial courses and programs of courses e.g. computer skills courses, courses on data bases, www pages, e-commerce, languages in farm tourism, marketing.

The main and final project’s recipients are parents, especially those coming from marginalized and disadvantaged social environment. This group of parents – often experiencing serious difficulties to solve their own problems and “struggling just to survive” – is not always conscious of the necessity to seek professional assistance. In order to reach them, convince to recognize their children’s problems and provide an effective help, there is a vital need to prepare a team of trained specialists. Although just today the above mentioned group of parents has an access to professional assistance offer, in order to improve the quality and results of provided services, the new/up-to-date knowledge and exchanging of experience with other practitioners working with parents on both national and international level, remains a key issue. Therefore our project aims at create an effective parents support system, what we can do through complex and comprehensive training of specialists. The project is expected to last for two years. During its first year specialists from different partner organizations, using their own experiences and practices applied in their countries, will develop a specific training program addressed to specialists. The work on the program will be initiated and its framework will be defined during the first workshop to be organized in the Coordinator’s country, and then it will be continued in other project’s countries. The results of work will be presented and discussed during following workshops, each time organized by other partner organization. Such system of work will be implemented till the final development of the training program. The second year of the project will concentrate on implementation of previously prepared training program, its evaluation and publishing (in order to share its achievements with other organizations).

This project brings people from different European countries together to create songs based on the learners experiences of ‘home’ and what it means to them. All participants will have a different concept and experience of this, e.g. some learners will be from groups comprising refugee communities who have very different experiences than learners from other countries. This project takes the learners through a process of creative writing and then turning their words into compositions with music. Songs will be also created for sharing, singing and performing with the other international participants. They will then record the songs and then all the songs will be performed at the end of the Project. This project has been created for learners to gain skills in song writing, music making and performance, while reflecting upon their ideas about home and ‘differences’. Also to experience, first hand cultural exchange. It also gives leaders the opportunity to share skills and exchange techniques and experiences.

Traditional methods of teaching foreign languages to the blind are time consuming, laborious and moreover – of little effectiveness. These methods usually are focused merely on provision of an ability to communicate in a given language; however, the students very often have problems with writing or reading skills. To eliminate this, it is necessary to implement new and fresh solutions – more effective and less time-consuming. Benefiting from other countries’ experiences, we would like to increase the efficiency of teaching foreign languages to the blind on diversified levels of education thanks to discovering new solutions in methodology. Taking into consideration the fact that nowadays almost in every job knowledge of a foreign language (and often even two) is necessary, high professional qualifications of foreign language teachers are essential. It is especially vital to provide the blind with high-profile and effective teaching so that their educational chances are equilized. To that end, during the first year of the project, we would like to create “The Best Practice Guide” (containing descriptions of educational aids and examples of lesson plans) which will be helpful for foreign language teachers from various European countries whose students are blind or have a disfunction of sight. The guide is going to be made available on a web side created for the project. In the second year of the project, we are planning to carry out pilot and verification activities concerning the program, so that the program after being thoroughly checked and tested can be used by teachers in their didactical work.

Using experience of different countries in HIV/AIDS problem partner institutions have enhanced chance to create a universal syllabus which is possible to implement widely in many (if not all) European countries. The syllabus is to prevent discrimination against ill children, youth and adults. Taking into account social consequences of women’s infection (malfunction of the family) it is necessary to pay more attention to their education. The syllabus is designed for adults’ instructors. This group includes teachers, tutors, parents, health service workers, social workers and everybody whose profession or function gives possibility to transfer knowledge and skills about HIV/AIDS subject to others.

The objectives of the course are: To stimulate the dialogue and to reinforce adequate communication between the teachers of the schools concerned and the parents. To improve the knowledge and abilities of teachers and parents on how to they can cooperate to help the adolescent child overcome his/her negative attitudes and develop a well-structured personality. The case-method will be used for this new tool. This innovative method will help both parents and teachers discuss very actively on common problems described in the cases, and thus help them express and understand their mutual points of view. The outcome will be that teachers and parents will cooperate and educate in a mutually reinforcing way to help the adolescent children overcome those most difficult years. The first year teachers and parents of the participating countries will deepen and exchange their knowledge of the specific needs of adolescents in workshops and seminars. They will take part in an international workshop, during which they will exchange the results of their study. A fully new 10-cases course for parents and teachers will be prepared in cooperation with each of the countries. The second year moderators for the newly designed courses will be trained. A pilot course will be organised in each country.

Its members should be fully aware of their rights and very active in the community, which is accomplished by associating themselves, cooperating with selfgovernment, and other participants of civil and local life. Building the civil society seems to be a constant process, which means, along with society’s activities, establishment and development of organizations and institutions in the civil profile which have stimulating influence on the local societies. This is the reason why both sides should be involved in the project and, in addition, have influence (in area of developing self-governments) on developing closer relationships all the members of the local society. Participation of international partners in the project is a cognitive component, which provide all project’s learners the opportunity of exchanging information and experiences, as well as developing some common ideas in the local societies.

A l’heure actuelle, l’éducation formelle (l’école) et l’éducation non formelle (le milieu extrascolaire) sont confrontées avec la n écessit é d’utiliser les nouvelles technologies et les nouveaux medias. En même temps, pour ne par créer de nouvelles formes d’analphabétisme inTellectuel, il est nécessaire de toujours relier les apprentissages à une utilisation de la langue et aux relations directes entre les personnes. Beaucoup de formateurs sont enfermés dans une double contrainte: il y a ceux qui savent utiliser les media et les NTC mais qui n’ont pas développé une réflexion pédagogique pertinente et cohérente avec les principes, pour nous, de l’Education Active, et il y a des formateurs qui se refusent d’utiliser les opportunités éducatives offertes par les medias et les NTC. Notre projet veut agir sur les différentes niveaux de la formation des adultes pour favoriser la rencontre entre éducateurs – formateurs de l’école et de l’extrascolaire, pour permettre une mutualisation des pratiques, pour valoriser le rôle des médias dans l’éducation et pour aider les formateur à réfléchir sur la place pédagogique des media. Ce projet veut aussi participer à la construction de nouvelles formes de communication entre différents pays de l’Europe, avec la participation de deux pays de la nouvelle Europe (Pologne, République Tchéque) et de deux pays de l’Europe occidentale (France). Nous avons réalisé les trois premieres phases du projet: 1) récolte des états des lieux et des besoins de formation, 2) définition et réalisation d’expérimentations dans chaque pays autour de la formation des adultes, 3) analyse desrésultats. Pour la quatrieme phase: „diffusion des résultats et élaboration des modules de formations transnationales etnationales, le projet est elargi à une cooperation avec l’Espagne et l’Allemagne pour: - renforcer le reseau de formateurs europoeen - elargir la possibilite d’echanges et de diffusion de pratiques - partager a un niveau europeen la diffusion des bonnes pratiques.

It will work on a local, national and international basis and encourage the promotion of lifelong learning through local projects and exchanges. The project will rely on the experiences of nine different institutions from six countries. It will use adult learning approaches to build individual and community confidence and promote greater understanding of different cultures and histories. The project assumes that work with memories and abilities, to reflect one’s own life and to discuss experiences within a group, plays an important role for the individual and the group. Through this experience participants will recognise the similarities and differences in past present lives across European countries. This also has benefits within a European framework, where people compare their personal experiences with official history recordings. From this work in understanding their roots it is anticipated that senior participants will look outward with confidence in their own abilities and so to appreciate other European lives and cultures. The project also aims at helping participants to look at their own past from a fresh angle, coming to terms with it and thereby gaining strength to lead a good and satisfying life. The long term objective is an internalised mental model to be used as a tool in everyday life.

For many defferent reasons they can not get integrated in a society unable to deal with people having difficulties and problems of different nature. Therefore, they are less prepared to enter vocational education and trainning and they have fewer possibilities on the labour market. The partners in this projects wish all students who belong to this target group do not accept the negative image they have and want to encourage them to fight for good work placements during their studies and for equal chances on the labour market. The project partners will help these youngsters to prepare themselves for labour market through the simulation of activities of real professional situations, and exchange best practices concerning the actual participation of youngsters in education, labour market and social life during transnational meetings.

Most of these people have very low level of education and consistently an instable position in the labour market, i.e. they switch frequently from employment to unemployment. This happens not only because of their educational deficits but also because of lack or insufficient use of life management skills (knowledge about their rights, possibilities of counselling and health services, learning opportunities — improvement of basic skills and language, etc.). Despite of training and counselling provision offered by the partner’s institutions they are mostly short-term employed and get back to their “passive” role again. The project aims at enhancing the training of the trainers who work with people with low education level and enable them to counsel and train their course participants in a more effective way. Apart from this primary project target group (teachers, trainers and counsellors from all partners’ organizations being involved in training and counselling of people with low education level), the training participants from each partner’s organization are the beneficiaries of the project. A holistic approach is an answer for designing a more successful and individual-centred training and counselling provision for people with low education level. The acquired life management skills should enable the participants to feel responsible for their lives and participate actively in our society taking advantage of life long learning possibilities. Sharing the ideas and best practices between project partners will enable the trainers to improve and modify their training concepts and curricula.

Farmers should find answers to following questions: How to maintain farming as a family business? How to get sufficient income on reasonable amount of work? How to enhance sustainable development on one's own farm? How to reconcile environment respect and agricultural activity? How to manage changing regulations coming from EU and from local authorities? In this challenging situation farmers need alternative strategies for developing their enterprises and keeping the countryside alive. Young farmers play an important role in finding new possibilities for the countryside. The idea of this project is that young farmers together with agricultural adult education, organisations acquire knowledge and experiences from other countries and change ideas with farmers from other countries. Young farmers will apply these experiences in promoting the vitality of their own region and on developing their own farms.

This innovative project is employing creative approaches to the practice of photography and IT, and led by experienced facilitators in local centres, adult learners create images and texts about how they see themselves and their circumstances. Such collaborative ‘learning through doing’ not only enables learners to re-view themselves in a positive and celebratory way but also encourages self-confidence and stimulates ambition. A Website, created as a virtual gallery of learners’ products, provides a means of learner interaction across all centres. The Re-Vision project is monitored through meetings for managers, facilitators and learners held in different centres within the partnership, alongside public exhibitions of learners’ texts and images.

The target groups are: 1. Minorities ethnic minorities, handicapped and socially marginalized groups, including women in rural areas and 2. Majorities members of our organisations, local community members and staff. Staff and learners will meet twice a year in different European countries, taking part in study visits, learning from each others experiences and learning the Process Work method as practised by the partners in UK and Slovakia. Process work is an innovative and cross-disciplinary approach to facilitate individual and collective change. It provides a practical framework through which each individual and group can interact, bringing out all points of view in order to achieve “deep democracy”, the stage where all part of the group or society is valued and accepted as they are. Thorough facilitation of the gathering of groups and individuals who are often in conflict or isolation, leads to greater awareness on each side and allows interacting with more understanding. The tools of Process Work are particularly useful for coping with prejudices, barriers and for empowering the individuals and groups from within, by seeking for the inner resources of power, often hidden under conflicts or painful experiences of marginalisation. The project will evaluate if and how the Process Work method is of practical use to the partners’ activities.

Education does not only mean school. Life long learning is given high priority all over Europe and it consists of formal, informal and also unformal components as a continuing process of life irrespective of age and place. Adults also travel a lot and most European countries have many immigrants coming both from European and non European countries. The school systems vary a lot and former education and knowledge is not easy to identify and accredit in new countries. Many refugees might not even have any diploma to show. This again makes it difficult to enrol the adult school system and also to find a job in the labour market. However, each country needs all the human capital and qualifications each member has got. Identification, assessment and accreditation of competence in respect of upper secondary education have high priority in many countries and will be the focus in this project.

We will use FW to reach out to disadvantaged groups through multipliers, like teachers, youth and social workers, and trainers. The FW is an innovative and well-structured process, which has been used for many years to find solutions, and for community-based planning. The FW was originally developed for citizen groups with limited resources, who wanted a say in the decision-making process. It is a technique meant to shed light on common challenges, to generate visions about the future, and to discuss how these visions can be realized. In this case, we will use the FW to work with educators and other multipliers from rural and local areas in order to train them in the methodology. We plan to train self-sufficient teams of trainers who can support each other in implementing the process in their home communities. These teams will use the FW process with their communities to create adult education programs for the purposes of teaching about Europe and European values, and promoting active citizenship.

This project follows to analyze the impact of media in learning process. The partners will exchange knowledge and experience regarding the new challenges that learners have to face (more and various information, new technologies to deal with, concept of elearning). Adult education has to respond to these demands in a professional way, correlating pedagogical, methodological and technical strategies. Socrates programmes, (Grundtvig in this case) improves adult education in the broader sense, foster improvement of the education possibilities available to a various categories of people without basic school qualifications, and encourages innovation in alternative educational pathways. Information becomes a vital fact for humanity. The most efficient way to propagate information in our society is represented by media and the new technologies involved. Today’s reality demands different needs and meanings of education. One of the main roles of the education providers is to improve various modalities of making education happened in one adapted and efficient way. Methods from educational area are needed to be changed and fit them to the new labour market specificities. As a final product, a “guide of good practice” will be developed. This guide will describe new challenges of today’s knowledge society and modality’s to deal with it, so that learning becomes a life long process. Because of the various profile of participant institutions it is assured a wide field of experience, assuring not only knowledge and experience change between participant countries, but a high intercultural communication; a sustainable development in field of in field of new pedagogical and methodological approaches (providing knowledge, skills and competences acquired outside formal education); a stimulating and attractive learning process.

It is manifest the osmotic relation that comes to create in a situation of integration and social inclusion begins by the “other’s” knowledge with reference to personal experienced and to historic roots of different ethnologies. The roots’ knowledge gets married with the research about the culture and popular traditions of different countries. “The rediscovery of narrating as method of investigation about historic springs, the memory’s recovery, the awareness that every story is particular story” (B. Croce) serve to understand the position of a particular people compared with own experienced in a fixed historic moment. To be European citizens can mean to look at the right, at the micro history, at the local history, with the availability to the focus of fundamental problems with a net of relations for significant developments, in view of recovery and exchange. Researching, narrating, building together, but also, rebuilding, revaluing, recovering the heritage of popular and local culture: this is the aim of our proposal. The challenge is in the present that looks at the past and the future in a “pro-positive” way. We hope in promoting in the adult the reinforcement of identity’s process, so as to widen own narrows in a dimension not only at local level but of European ranging-work.

These will be practitioners trying to develop their own creative business idea, or projects with socially or economically disadvantaged groups. The overall goal is to improve the quality and sustainability of such projects and raise the awareness of the role of creative industries for local development and combating social and economic exclusion through improving skills, confidence and creating employment. This will be an asymmetric learner exchange - some of the partner organisations are more experienced in developing and supporting creative people, ideas and projects, while others have had less interaction with the creative industries agenda. In this project they will get the chance to meet, learn from each other and exchange ideas of how grassroots work can influence policy developments and discuss successful strategies and practices in developing creative industries projects. Using the expertise of the different organisations in the partnership, the project will develop 3 main training courses: Creative Industries and Economic Development, Creative Industries and Social Inclusion and Creative Industries and New Technologies. In the period of 3 years these courses will take place in all 3 participating countries. A core group of three learners and/or staff per participating country will take part in all training courses to enable them to develop an in-depth understanding of the issues, which will allow them to act as mentors to the other learners in the groups. Each year they will attend Creative Clusters conference to get an understanding about the international agenda in creative industries development, present the policy contexts in their countries and meet other practitioners engaged in similar projects worldwide. The results from the project will be disseminated to other organisations locally, nationally and internationally, raising the profile of successful work done in each partners' country in isolation.

In 2005 we have TV, radio, phone, Fax, Internet! They make communication a lot faster, but not necessary more manageable! On the contrary, the truth is that the speed overwhelms many of us! YnterACT aims to give communication and education a more personal touch! And in the process to promote the use of new pedagogical methods! What for? Because there is a big gap between the desired social skills and the existing ones. The usual forms of education are not enough anymore for the proper development of the soft skills. New forms should be experienced in order to build a bridge over this gap. How? We do not need to reinvent the wheel. There are already so many tools on the market. The best, cheapest and most effective solution is to identify those that we need and to adapt them to our needs as individuals and as members of a institution. Educational tools like formal debate, role simulation, lateral thinking, and creativity games are the right instruments. They are effective because they are fun and one can learn in the same time. YnterACT aims to create a network of Creative Communication Clubs where young adults would have the chance to meet and practice the abovementioned educational tools.

The targeted people will include: young people from 18 to 35 who wants to live in rural areas, women who wants to combine their own house with touristy rural houses, people over 45, that want to develop activities related to tourism in an alternative way to traditional tourism activities and increase their level of quality of life. In the first part of this project professionals (teachers, trainers etc.) from different countries will prepare researches about rural tourism activities in their own countries. Each partner country will prepare a short survey on ‘how to promote rural tourism’ and make proposals for the teaching methodology. Together they will develop an innovative strategy, new materials and new methodologies to promote foreign languages and vocational training in disadvantaged areas, that will be translated in each language. Each country will choose 2 languages and will test the materials and the innovative methodology prepared in the previous phase through the implementation of a Pilot experience. As a last phase of the project we will disseminate the results of the research, the new materials and the evaluation of the Pilot experiences through publications. This project intends to promote vocational skill of unemployed adults giving them expertise in a particular sector to help them in developing future employment in that same sector. The objectives of the Pilot Language project are to promote new skills in rural sectors, giving the participants an input to start their own activities or to work in the rural sector. The outcome of the project will be to publish and disseminate the innovative methodology and the training materials, to support adults to develop and organize activities related to the rural tourism, improving their quality of life.

Though there are many organizations and establishments fighting against drugs, both the number of the young people that use drugs increases and also the beginning age decreases. This situation affects both the youth and the families. Even though there are many ways developed to fight this issue, the problem persists to exist. The parents don’t have enough information about drugs, but they begin to search for a solution only after their children get into drugs. But to save a youngster from drugs is a very difficult task after they get used to it. This situation is a wearing process both for the sibling and the family. Our main aims in this Project are, to help teachers and parents to provide help for the youngsters before they start using drugs, to get information on effective ways and methods of fighting against drugs, Determining the most effective ones and spreading these methods among teachers and parents at risk, creating a web site to enhance accessibility about effective ways of fighting against drugs, and finally, providing seminars for the parents and the teachers on the issue. The final aim of the Project is to provide information for the teachers, and parents on the issue (book, web site and brochures), and pave the way for co-operation among all related organizations and institutions against the problem.

Every nation is both different and similar as economical and cultural characteristics, and this is very important to be known. People living in suburb areas very often are disadvantaged in social and economic aspects. This project will help them bringing together humanistic values as well as those living in city and have possibilities to reach social and cultural potentiality. The project will determine demographic mobility, by producing detailed knowledge about these areas using surveys and interviews discussing the results.Cooperation with industry concerns, municipality, governor, others social and cultural associations, helping them in starting professional courses will determine open ways for their integration. Those disadvantage people can often reach socio-cultural activities such as cinema, theatre, exhibitions. The project activities will serve up these opportunities by involving the local authorities and other interested factors. We will develop "European feeling" on this basic, like saving national values, and enriching the European culture.

There are various disease and illnesses that have been associated with obesity: in the European Observatory on Health Care Systems in Malta (WHO, 1999), along with inadequate physical activity, it was selected as a main target areas for risk factors causing the high prevalence rate of certain diseases such as coronary heart disease and stroke, lung cancer and diabetes. There are also psychological and social consequences such as stigmatisation (Lobstein et al, 2004). The project is an education-based type, where adults will be gathered in small groups of no more than 15 at a time; however, each member of the group will set their own individual targets and responsibilities for their own health. Parents of pupils (through schools) and unemployed people (through local councils) will be offered to join the programme. Interested adults will initially be introduced to the project and briefed about the different phases of the project, which will range from theory lessons to practical healthy cooking and also physical activities. Most of these lectures will be delivered by H&S Unit staff, but these might sometimes require the assistance of experts with certain activities (eg. Chefs during healthy cooking sessions). Participating adults will also, at their own discretion, be invited at the beginning of the project to have their BMI (Body Mass Index) confidentially measured. This will again be measured during and at the end of the project.

From then on, research activities are organised within every institution in order to find out pieces of information on the selected topic in any specificity (cultural, economic, ethic). Some interdisciplinarity among trainers is recommended within every institution to help learners to get some specific type of information. The field of investigation is our network of seven countries. The required sources of information are the Internet, a chat forum –already built up – and E-mails (for questions and answers among learners from the learning partnership) and exchange visits of learners and trainers for information checking. We envisage to put our research results (containing text and photo production) in a forum but also in a CD ROM and later on, we expect to design an interactive Website useful to disseminate the information (renewal of the project). This exercise aims at raising the learner’s motivation for English and other languages and keeping them motivated. We assume this can be possible if we manage to involve learners in a practical project where they are actors: the research evolution relies on them.

The situation and the needs of the parents are diverse in Europe from basic health care in socially disadvantaged groups e.g. in TÜRKIYE up to specific information and network needs e.g. hearing aid implant in other countries of EU. Most parents of students with hearing impairments in TÜRKIYE are illiterate or low educated .Their socio-economical situation does not allow them to treat the deaf ( about 500.000 students are affected in whole EU at present, including candidate countries) in a correct way both pedagogicaIly and psychologically.Not having adequate access to hearing related information, parents face difficulty overcoming the daily problems occurring so frequently in various forms. Especially in TR there is a lack of knowledge for hearing related healthcare or individual care, parents feel desperate and therefore need urgent specialized help to be able to communicate with their disabled children and support to improve their quality of life. In general, parents feel isolated from the society for having a child with hearing impairments as they feel excluded from the verbally communicating society. It is aimed to empower the parents of hearing impairments to better asses their needs and support each other via the creation of Communities of Practices (COPs) and self organise adequate help. We will achieve our objectives through education and learning processes activated with expert trainers by means of seminars, workshops and use of ICT. This project is innovative with its ICT based content and outcomes to be reached.
