Dear friends,
Only
We are looking for mutual partnerships .
KA220 adult
CONCEPT NOTE
HORIZONTAL
As part of the project, we address this horizontal area holistically, fostering digital skills for all, considering the first and second strategic priority of the Digital education Action Plan and through two complementary approaches:
a) First strategic priority of the Action Plan – the project focuses on adult people with fewer opportunities experiencing lack of digital capacity. The project employs digital technologies at different project activities and levels. E.g. increased digital skills within participating organization, where organizations will explore all digital and technological possibilities by project implementation activities as well as management and dissemination. The second level is inclusion of digitalization in teaching and learning activities of organizations and seniors. Participating organizations will prepare their individual digital transformation plan – not only at the organizational level, but also evaluation of staff digital skills as a consequence of the project implementation.
b) Second strategic priority of the Action Plan – thefocuses on improving digital skills and competence development, also including those seniors with fewer opportunities. It is focusing on basic digital skills, emphasizing digital literacy for adults, which has become essential for functioning everyday life and to participate in civil society and inclusion.
This project also contributes to the European Digital Education Hub, which is envisaged to reinforce cooperation on digital education at the EU level and to contribute to exchange of good practices, co-creation and experimentation. The outputs will contribute to it from a lifelong learning perspective as we will also evaluate the increase of digital capacity by all the participants and organizations involved in the project, from the practical perspective. We aim to contribute to this horizontal priority for reaching out a large group of adults who are hard to reach for education, organizations, where involved parties will increase the use of digital tools in information sharing, good practices, communication, virtual learning and physical mobility. The organizations involved in the project will also use the SELFIE tool before and after the project to measure improvements in terms of digitization in organizations.,
SPECIFIC
The project increases the availability of high quality, flexible learning opportunities for target group. Digitalization and fully open project access provides support in opening unlimited and free opportunities for all interested parties to acquire new digital competencies or improve existing ones. It also includes the development of digital pedagogy, based in micro-training and storytelling, flexible learning opportunities and innovative use of digital educational content. We will give a particular attention to promoting gender equality, and underrepresented groups. However, we will also validate all the acquired skills via informal and non-formal learning.
MAIN OBJECTIVE:
- to empower adult people with fewer opportunities, namely those lives in rural areas, migrants and NEETs with new competencies and capacities to recognize their values, talents, increase personal goals clarity, self-confidence, discover potentials and foster positive self-image.
SPECIFIC:
• focus groups in partner countries to identify existing real-world challenges in post-covid time, linking to digitalization capabilities within lifelong learning to make personal progress (20 adult people per country >100 adults (migrants, NEET, rural areas etc)
KPIs: 5 focus groups, 1 list of common challenges – linked to the competences required to overcome them, and competences gaps, based on actual needs of these seniors, results validation
• develop an e-course, using micro-training and storytelling approaches to ensure that seniors to acquire knowledge, skills and competences
KPIs: 1 e-course in a form of app (see WPs), >12 partners' staff with certificates, > 30 participants involved
•create training material for self-learning and using a coaching approach, covering a) visualization for empowerment b) techniques to decrease stress c) power to change, and additional topics identified in WPs.
•develop 1 e-lessons learnt (guidance, e-book), supporting the training material developed for efficient and effective self- learning and personal growth.
•perform e-training for learners testing and validation1 e-lessons learnt (guidance, e-book), supporting the training material developed for efficient and effective self-learning and personal growth.
KPI: 1 e-textbook with guidance, lessons learnt (=30 pages; 150 downloads)
•perform multiplication events, dissemination
KPI:> 100 (overall 1000)
• >6 organisational and stakeholders networking
KPI: at least 3 memorandums of understanding (MoU) with organization outside consortia for usage of project outcomes
Work package
Title
- Project Management
- Dissemination and communication
- Current examination of the projects’ competencies, needs and challenges for personal empowerment
- Architecture of the learning app – the project web-app to support micro trainings, based on storytelling approach
- the project micro-training and storytelling e-course and e-textbook
- Stakeholders engagement
- Testing and validation, including recommendations
