Key-Action KA121-ADU
The ‘Agrupamento de Escolas de Anadia’ applied for the 2021-2027 accreditation in the area of adult education. The application was approved allowing the execution of projects oriented towards the defined objectives and results. This is the second of these projects.
It will be held in two European countries over the period between June/2024 and August/2025.
The aim of the project is the mobility for learning purposes of teaching and non-teaching staff, including participation in structured courses aimed at adult education.
The project
Key Action Project 1 – No. 2024-1-PT01-KA121-ADU-000199587.
It is based on the assumption that training staff, with tools that allow them to adjust a training logic to the recognition of skills acquired by adults, will promote the improvement and expansion of learning opportunities adapted to the needs of adults with low qualifications. Also noteworthy is the increased need for answers to a public of migrants and refugees and the involvement of the population that does not have literacy skills.
Mobilities, fully financed, for the training of 4 teachers/non-teachers are approved.
Objectives and methodology
In line with the previous project (KA104), which received the mention of “Best Practices” by the National Agency, the plan presented seek to optimize the skills of the staff, provide them with more effective tools and improve the quality of education/training services provided today and those projected to provide in the future.
The activities proposed for the staff regard the potential of each action to generate sharing and learning moments, for the promotion of skills and training of all elements (teachers and non-teachers).
The key areas we’re investing are:
- – reduce the dropout of adults undergoing academic and/or vocational qualification;
- – increase opportunities for access to qualification and raise awareness of its importance for disadvantaged / at-risk populations;
- – promote opportunities for low-skilled adult learners to access innovative learning contexts.
Thus, participants will be offered the approach of motivational strategies, the exchange of practices that allow out of the box thinking, encouraging staff to the value of promoting divergent thinking, awareness of the importance of transforming cultural diversity into opportunities for growth, enabling inclusion and tolerance.
Preparatory working meetings are scheduled with participants addressing cultural, linguistic and formal aspects to be addressed during the training.
After each course it is mandatory to carry out and submit an individual activity report.
