Project idea for a Grundtvig Learning Partnership

Grundtvig synthesis proposal

The Valdarno school-net includes a group of schools with different levels of education concerning also education  for adults, brick-and–mortar institutions, evening schools for  degree attainment, on the-job-training, professional courses, English courses, Information Technology courses for adults, adult literacy courses, pupils’ parents classes, immigrants literacy classes and teacher training.

As some issues emerged from the analysis of our territory’ needs, such as unemployment, underprivileged people, immigrants, women and young people facing jobs difficulties and people with special needs, it is significant to manage training courses aimed to the reinstatement and the retraining in workplaces, social inclusion, social competence, the promotion of active citizenship, personal achievement towards long life learning and active ageing process and cross-cultural communication improving the knowledge about the European  cultural and social diversity.

The project is aimed to the pooling and sharing  experience among all the European partners in order to achieve concrete and innovative results with indisputable European value,  identifying the right practice and efficacy methodology to avoid the natural wastage and adapting the long life learning process to the adult learners’ real needs as for as jobs,  personal development, competitiveness and employability.

We state that giving more resources to adults orientation  would be a strategic element for their social inclusion. This project also seek to  provide a professional profile (trainer) for teachers and adult students providing them with ways to improve their knowledge and skills, competence, teaching tools and indications to be shared with other European countries. In addition, we foresee  to make an online tools kit containing all the materials gathered during the project  time and to use it again in  future in order to improve the quality level for Adults Education and to help make lifelong learning opportunities more widely known and available to citizens.
