Let`s do it better - improving quality of education for adults among various social groups

07.10.2011

It's a pleasure for us to let you know that LLP (Lifelong learning Programme) National Agency has approved our project: "Let's do it better" - improving quality of education for adults among various social groups - GRUNDTVIG PROGRAMME.

The project aims to improve the quality of teaching in order to strengthen integration processes in society and the labour market among learners. These tasks, although different in every organization, contribute to eliminate the problem of social exclusion. Through a multilateral exchange of experience, we plan to improve the quality of our services for students as representative part of various social groups. 

The project aims to propose and promote popular not-formal education as a tool for target group's empowerment in order to eliminate social exclusion. Our goal is to learn from each other and share best practices, working in partners' own country and during international meetings. Meetings in various participating countries will allow us to confront on a European level on informal learning and to learn mutually which could be the best practices related to adult training in vulnerable social groups and coming from the margins of society.

We want to build a guide to "good advice" about methods and techniques based on people's education and empowerment to train vulnerable social groups in marginal social contexts. We will also be able to watch similar organizations in action and learn how they deal with activities very similar to ours, both meeting with project's partners and other organizations not involved in the project in partner countries. That is definitely an added value to this project. We will share knowledge improving our activities and fostering growth of new services for socially excluded people.

The project will last two years (from the 1st of august 2011 to the 31st of July 2013) and will involve an integrated partnership between:

  • from Italy:

- La Comunità Soc Coop - Genova (coordinator)
- Ass. Onda Urbana Onlus - Torino

  • from France:

- Maison des Jeunes et de la Culture AGORA - Nice

  • from Spain:

- Centro de Educacion Infantil Y Primaria Lope de Vega - Ceuta

  • from Greece:

- VERDAKEIOS VOCATIONAL SCHOOL OF INDIGENT CHILDREN, Greek State Scholarship's Foundation I.K.Y. - Hemoupolis

  • from Turkey:

The project foresees three international seminars, where European Partners and local authorities will have the opportunity to gather up and share good practices in the context of informal education. The first meeting will be held in Genova (Italy) in October and will be organized by the project coordinator LA COMUNITA' Social cooperative.
