In every society literacy is a necessary skill in itself and one of the foundation of other life skills. Literacy is also a catalyst for participation in social, cultural political an economic activities, and for learning throughout life. In the rapidly changing world of today's knowledge society, with the progressive use to newer and innovative technological means of communication, literacy requirements continue to expand regularly. In order to survive in today's globalized world, it has become necessary for all people to learn (new) literacies and develop the ability to locate, evaluate and effective use information in multiple manners. In Europe the development of literacy and basic education is very different; that applies to the professional development of trainers as well. Professionalism within literacy and basic skills is a difficult subject because teacher and trainer have to deal with adults who are marginalised or disadvantaged. In addition to their reading and writing difficulties the students do have learning problems. Therefore teacher and trainer have to improve their knowledge about psychological and social aspects. It is necessary to develop innovative methods of teaching and learning, including interactive technologies. Even if the importance of training literacy and basic education practitioners and professionals is not disputed there are enormous differences how to deal with it. In Belgium and the Netherlands you can find job descriptions for the staff, and universities provide trainings with final examinations and certificates; in Great Britain core curricula and standards have been developed for students and there are efforts by the government to improve teacher training in the field of literacy and basic education. In mostEuropean countries there is a lack of teacher training qualification. COORDINATOR: DEUTSCHES INSTITUT FÜR ERWACHSENENBILDUNG E.V.

This is often compounded by the use of fragments of spoken or signed languages to compensate for the lack of a mother tongue. Records of the partners demonstrate that between 10% and 60% of every group of deaf or severely hearing impaired adult students are refugees or asylum seekers, with an increasing number of multiply disabled refugees. Therefore this Project addresses a major educational and social issue for the whole of the European Union. Through the transnational partnership work of this Project, the outcomes will encourage and enable active citizenship by these immigrants by creating learning environments and materials relating to their individual learning needs and communication skills at the time of entry into their host countries so that they can more readily and effectively develop pro-active roles in their new societies. Local working partnerships with other agencies - statutory and non-governmental - will form a sustainable basis for implementation of the project outcomes.

''Alpha-to-Omega'' aims to increase the acquisition of knowledge, proficiencies and competence in later periods of life of adults. The methods include the development of often passive talents and proficiencies based on non-formally or in-formally acquired competences during the way of life of senior citizens. The target group especially consists of senior migrants, elderly belonging to social and ethnic minorities as well as senior citizens with a low level of official education. The methods embrace inter-generational task-based learning where members of the young generation and senior citizens have to work with social challenges they both have in common. Content of teaching includes future oriented work assignments in order to increase European identification of senior citizens within the European Union. During the project, senior citizens will learn that they have a huge potential of knowledge and competence they can rely upon and which they may transfer towards the younger generation. Senior citizens will undergo programmes of adult education based on their special needs and requirements, including medical and age-related aspects of learning and cognitive comprehension. ''Alpha-to-Omega'' intends to develop modules of adult education for senior citizens with special needs in order to create new ways of access to adult education in European Union member states for the elderly and to allow providers of adult education to answer the special needs and requirements of the elderly with the help of easy to use and reliable innovative methods. The project will develop teaching modules and materials, including a documentation of samples of best-practice and case studies of inter-generational workshops and learning assignments.

In order to increase their efficiency, it is necessary to enhance the political and communicative skills of senior volunteers engaged in interest representation. There is the lack of training programmes aiming at the voluntary political engagement of older people, focussed on educational programmes for their political and social skills. Main objectives: Development of training programme, combining political know-how with communicative/social skills Direct target groups: a) Adult educators b) Senior citizens interested in taking an active role in public life as volunteers in seniors' interest representations c) Senior organisations, active for interest representation of seniors Indirect target groups: a) Decision-makers in senior policy Main activities: Analysis of training and support requirements, reviewing existing models and experience Writing, testing, updating, disseminating and implementing an European educational programme Expected Outputs: European educational programme in two compendia: manual of educational programmes for adult educators; manual with strategies for political and social participation of senior citizens in public life; for senior organisations COORDINATOR: KIFAS GGMBH - KAB INSTITUT FÜR FORTBILDUNG & ANGEWANDTE SOZIALETHIK Hofgartenstrasse, 2 DE-93449 WALDMÜNCHEN Phone: +49 9972 941460 Fax: +49 9972 941465 Email: bernhard.eder@kifas.org Internet site address: www.kifas.org CONTACT: Bernhard EDER PARTNERS: • • • • • • BUNDESARBEITSGEMEINSCHAFT DER LANDESSENIORENVERTRETUNGEN EV, BERLIN, DE POLO EUROPEO DELLA CONOSCENZA, VERONA, IT UNIWERSYTET JAGIELLONSKI, KRAKÓW, PL SDRUZHENIE INTEGRA, PLOVDIV, BG INSTITUT FÜR SOZIALE INFRASTRUKTUR, FRANKFURT AM MAIN, DE LANCASTER UNIVERSITY, LANCASTER, UK GRANT AMOUNT: 210889 € APPROVED BUDGET: 305637 € CONTRACT DURATION: 24 (in months) 8 SOCRATES COMPENDIUM 2006 GRUNDTVIG - DEVELOPMENT OF GRUNDTVIG TRAINING COURSES 230002-CP-1-2006-1-DE-GRUNDTVIG-G1 Bila-Learn-Innovative methods for bilingual language acquisition for adults learners in europe DESCRIPTION: Bila-Learn intends to develop and test innovative and target-group oriented materials for synchronous language acquisition of two or more foreign languages for adult learners in Europe. The project especially focuses on European Union citizens who grew up with two or more language due a migrants' background or a place of residence in European Union border areas. Bila-Learn will directly involve learners into the project. Existing methods of language acquisition will be adapted towards the special needs of bilingual adult learners. Obstacles preventing interested learners from language acquisition will be reduced. BilaLearn will concentrate of processes of language acquisition of adults learners using innovative technological developments such as mobile communication devices (mobile phone, PDAs) as learning tools. Standard forms of class-room teaching situation will be reduced and replaced by innovative methods of synchronous acquisition of language competence. The methods will take into account the educational background of adult learners. Learners will both work in learning groups and individual process using innovative methods of bilingual language acquisition. Partners and the promoter of Bila-Learn identified a need for bilingual language acquisition during the European Year of Languages (EYL). According to studies undertaken during the EYL, 40 % of all European citizens have a bi- or multilingual background (source: Eurostat). This groups comprises individuals who grew up or live in border regions (i.e. DE-FR, AT-IT, GR-BRRO etc.), migrants speaking the language of their host country as well as the language of their country of origin, persons with bi-national parents and members of ethnic or cultural minorities using their minority languages as well as the ''lingua franca'' of the region of residence. So far, learning a foreign language in Europe meant to learn one language at a time.

Furthermore it focus on overcoming potential usage barriers by building up a counselling and further education network that is independent from time and location and which suits the needs of parents, including also those parents who are looking for answers to their educational questions but prefer to remain anonymous. In addition the project aims on improving the cooperation amongst European Organisations on the protection of children's rights and the support of parents. The target group consists, in principle, of all European parents who are seeking for qualified support and answers to their educational questions. Main activities: design, setting up and evaluation of tailored e-course system and discussion board infrastructure in four European countries (DE, FI, RO, TR), including technical environment, organisational and support structures; pilot and final testing; development of six scenario-based modules in four languages; training of online tutors for the e-course and for the moderation of the discussion fora. Outputs: Coherent and sustainable e-course; open source learning, communication and collaboration environment, six content modules; discussion board facilities in four European countries; training concept for online tutors; implementation guide dedicated to those intending to adopt the whole concept or parts of it.

This representation is quite often not correct, or a correct use of data is misunderstood by its recipients. This can lead to faulty conclusions, attitudes or emotional reactions. MaStER develops a course, which qualifies citizens of modern society (especially in their roles as patients of health care systems and as consumers) to correctly and critically understand such information and, vice versa, it qualifies journalists to present such information correctly. The course will be offered both in a blended version and as e-learning.

Ambitious goals and heavily loaded work plans need to be implemented in an efficient and effective manner. The project INTERtool aims at providing European project managers and teams in adult education with the basic specific intercultural competences necessary for successful transnational cooperation in the framework of European projects with a strong focus on the virtual dimension. To this end virtual and face-to-face learning and training tools will be developed, produced, tested and disseminated that contribute to: - reconciling different communication and working styles and values brought into European projects - facilitating an effective type of moderation to solve problems during the project process taking into regard the emotional aspects of intercultural communication - organizing intercultural communication in virtual environments - facilitating, mostly by virtual means, an efficient and effective intercultural team building process - securing equality in the partnership caused by differences especially in the field of language competences and cultural values Main activities and outputs will be the development of a guidance publication, the development, testing and dissemination of a virtual intercultural team tool (VITT) and the development of a face-to- face-course to enhance the competences of project actors.

The usual difficulties that are exacerbated by the disability prevent them from accessing educational provision which fosters self-development. The existing practice to promote the integration of foreigners fails to take account of disabled foreigners. Our overriding objective is to promote equal participation in the process of lifelong learning and personal development. The project’s principal outcome is a structured methodology for learning rehabilitation. In drawing up this methodology, the partner organisations are guided by the statistical surveys on the structure of the target group and by the best practice of and results achieved by relevant EU projects. The qualification requirements for teachers are being drawn up so that the methodology can be applied. A barrier-free (disabled-friendly) website is being set up for dissemination purposes; it will function as a contact point for the target group and as a milieu for discussion for the partner organisations. An international conference will be held to provide information for decision-makers and to exert an influence on their decisions. The direct target group consists of adult representatives of national minorities or foreign migrants whose access to participation in the process of lifelong learning and the active life of society is hindered due to a disability or special needs. The indirect users are teachers, training agencies and ultimately society, which first and foremost gains the benefit of members who have been made ‘fit’ for lifelong learning and active integration by learning rehabilitation, and are more capable of learning and motivated to learn.

EAGLE therefore plans to concentrate on the field of inter-generational as well as later life learning processes within the frameworks of formal and - of specific importance here - non-formal, informal and autonomous learning. In a systematic and synthetic approach EAGLE wants to generate an inventory allowing desk and filed research based in-depth insight into (a) the potential as well as the limitations of trans-, inter-generational and later life formal and informal learning; (b) the policies, concepts, analyses, frameworks, experiences in place and empirical evidence available and (c) the models of good practice developed; those good practice cases in order to generate policy and practice recommendations. This will lead to the following core activities of EAGLE: (d) to the formulation, selection and implementation of European action research based segmental pilot experimentations; (e) the pilot experimentations throughout Europe will undergo state-of-the-art verification and validation stages. Based on this desk, field and action research based analysis and piloting activities EAGLE aims finally (f) at setting up a professional segmental dialogue including researchers, developers, implementation practitioners, age group representatives, policy consultants and policy makers to support exchange of ideas and experiences across existing fragmentations and therefore to contribute and to encourage new, innovative and alternative learning pathways of (adult) education.

About 10% represent the ''old age beginners'', using computers less often and possessing fewer skills. This latter group is heavily at risk of being left behind in accessing ICT-based and digital services, and will thus constitute the target group of this project. In particular, older people from disadvantaged social groups are in danger of being totally excluded from the modern information society. In light of the above need, coupled with Europe's rapidly ageing population, it is envisaged that a web-based learning system especially adapted for senior citizens (50 years and above) will be of particular interest for society. The objectives of Senior Learning can be outlined as followings: - Approach senior citizens to ICTs, training them to readily use computers - Train senior citizens on the practical use of internet, bringing them into the Information Society. - Study and apply pedagogical and technical methodologies and approaches tailored to the needs of senior citizens in e-learning. - Study, apply and adapt e-learning courses to the particularities of each different country (different languages, web resources, levels of computer literacy, etc.).

The material gathered will allow university researchers on the one hand to study more deeply the themes of intergenerational communication and memory, and on the other hand create a European centre of intergenerational communication dedicated to testimonies, stories, memories of elderly people in Europe and the study of and research into communication in this specific environment. Specific aims 1. Involve groups of adults/elderly persons (from age 50 up) and groups of young people in order to have them become the protagonists of a complex creative training process while at the same time dealing with the theme of intergenerational communication by means of the collection of testimonies. 2. Create intergenerational workshops to develop and test a training process which will develop knowledge and skills in the use of instruments of communication and expression with the aim of achieving the formulation of creative messages to be shared and which will lead to the creation of animated shows with the puppets 3. Gather, analyse and select interviews and materials collected by various partner countries (memories, stories, poems, etc.) and organise them into an electronic archive to be accessed via Internet 4. Produce in-depth studies of themes dealing with intergenerational communication and memory at the European level 5. Produce a European centre of intergenerational communication 6. Produce a dedicated website 7.

Especially socially unprivileged persons are rarely represented. Studies show that these people often lack in basic competences like social and personal skills. Social and personal skills are key competences and important pre-conditions for the access and successful accomplishment of any kind of formal and informal education. Unfortunately they are rarely part of curricula and educational offers. The project on hand will fill this gap. A training concept will be developed to support social and personal skills in adults as a basic condition for self-regulated lifelong learning. The ultimate target group will be socially unprivileged people. In a first step, the project focuses on a selection of subgroups. The elaborated training concept will be disseminated by a train-the-trainer course on European level and by publishing the training concept in a brochure and in internet in nine languages. A European conference and a small brochure will be realised in order to sensitize politicians and decision makers. Thus the project will head for long-term effects by the implementation of social and personal skills into curricula.

Europe is nowadays experiencing an alarming spread of racism. Racist violence is already deeply rooted within marginalized sectors of society, which often resort to clash, scapegoat and violence in reaction to their precarious status. Sadly, young people are also very much involved in racist trends. Teenagers and adults living precarious situations are easy targets for right-wing extremists' propaganda and recruitment. Although European institutions show active commitment in raising awareness and combating discrimination, it is still extremely hard to reach societal sectors outside formal education. The experience of UNITED shows that despite the quantitative and qualitative work done by many organizations active in the field (national campaigns, activities held during the international week against racism, local projects), many other NGO's have little knowledge about democratic institutions and processes. The urgency felt within the antiracist movement for a more qualified training of NGOs activists is a request coming from the involved countries for many years now. As a matter of fact, UNITED has, through its network of more than 560 NGOs all over Europe, mapped out the European situation and considers it to be extremely serious. Nevertheless, there are effective ways to tackle discrimination at its local and regional level through innovative and informal learning strategies. The network experience shows that some NGOs across Europe have good practice of life-long learning within the antiracist field, and they are willing to share them. The present project has the aim of giving the best practices a European dimension.

In order to provide coaching for young dyslexic adults, those affected and those coaching them currently usually have to fall back on materials for children. Young dyslexic adults are so demotivated by having to do exercises using ‘childish’ material that they completely refuse to have coaching to help with their dyslexia and prefer to put up with their performance shortcomings in education and employment. However, young adults in particular can achieve sustained improvements if they have suitable training documents. Research results show that strengthening and stimulating sensory perceptions is a prerequisite for developing more complex key skills, and is of great importance for coping with employment and everyday life. A motivating and interactive learning environment for training the sensory perceptions of young dyslexic adults is developed within the framework of the project. The exercises are based on strong visualisation, i.e. little language is used. The training materials can be retrieved from the project portal at any time and in any location and are thus easily accessible. Coaches can improve the quality of the training they provide by putting the exercises to use in their individual training provision.

DESCRIPTION: The project Europe at Work aims at the improvement of European citizenship and awareness at European people. For this purpose the project focuses on a workplace based learning approach bringing the topic of European citizenship right into the companies to workers and management staff. For this objective the project develops a number of pre-releasing instruments for raising the basic awareness towards different cultures and Europe as such. This will be followed by a training programme for managers and multipliers in companies about European citizenship as well by an elearning programme for workers on learning stations in the companies. The developed instruments for workplace based learning in European citizenship will be tested with the target group in three companies (workers and managing staff) in three countries in AT, DK and ES. For reaching the project aims and objectives on pedagogical and content level the project counts on a comprehensive partnership of educational institutions, regional development institutions, trade union bodies, chambers of commerce and education associations. A comprehensive valorisation and dissemination strategy and plan supports the implementation and impact of the developed approaches in an effective way.

The role of local animator is highly complex and requires a variety of social skills. Due to the shortage of trainers, the learning opportunities in the new member states are very limited. Our project aims to develop a curriculum for trainers of local animators in five new European Union Members: Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary and Slovenia. Training materials will be based on development theories and the best practices of the participating countries. We plan to produce printed manuals (in English and in five national languages) and a didactic DVD. Two pilot courses for 25 participants each (5 from each country) will also be carried out to test contents and methodology. The involvement and close cooperation of the national rural development networks of the five participating countries (plus the Swedish network as external evaluator) ensures the viability of the project. Through the PREPARE network, results will be disseminated to the rest of the Central and Eastern European countries.

By systematising informal learning to be compatible with the formal learning frameworks of tertiary education, Lifeplace Learning (LPL) will provide enhanced opportunities for adult learners to recognise knowledge gained in a wide variety of professional, leisure and community contexts. LifeLearn will build on the established practices of Work Based Learning (WBL) where learners negotiate learning outcomes derived from their work role, complemented by directed learning and/or research, so that the outcomes are placed in a recognisably academic context. LifeLearn will extend these procedures to implement, assess and quality assure learning that occurs from a person's wider life role. Existing WBL/LPL practice will be reviewed to develop guidance material for practitioners and learners. Partners will develop LPL approaches (modules, programmes and courses) in their own institutions, enrol adult learners and work collaboratively to evaluate the impact on the adult learner experience, the tutor experience and the sustainability aspects of the concept. These will be documented and disseminated as case studies. The roles of ICT and other media based resources will also be evaluated as will the student support mechanisms such as mentoring, facilitation and coaching. LifeLearn's dissemination role will promote the status and recognition of LPL across Europe.

Existing support systems may need changing to reflect the needs of disadvantaged indigenous and immigrant parents. This project focuses on adult education for socially excluded and marginalized indigenous citizens, integrated with refugees, asylum seekers, migrant workers and Roma families. The project will explore ''Parenting in Modern Europe'', as a learning theme of common interest across cultures, identifying ways of involving disadvantaged less educationally oriented target groups, promoting social inclusion. Parents new to a city need information about support systems available to them. The project will give Parents' Groups an opportunity to survey existing policy and provision and prepare City and European Guides for parents and new immigrant families. Equality awareness, especially the fight against racism and xenophobia, are addressed by this project as the process will develop intercultural awareness and support integration. Parents' Groups from ten European cities will work transnationally to compare findings, identify themes of common interest and provide feedback about policy and system changes which will be both culturally sensitive and adapted to needs of immigrant and marginalised parents.

Arts groups such as the London Shakespeare Workout in London, the Prison Arts Foundation in Belfast, and the Galli-Group in Vienna and Berlin, alongside formal institutions like Mountjoy Prison in Dublin and City College Manchester, have for many years been actively involved in this process. From this background `The Will to Dream' emerged, focusing on the practical use of theatre and video in adult prison education, particularly in countries in eastern and central Europe with limited experience of these areas. The project concentrates on developing strategies, approaches and learning material to encourage and promote theatre and video in adult prison education, including the involvement of professional practitioners. It aims to: - create & pilot a multilingual, multimedia learning package; - organise transnational meetings & practical workshops; - develop strategies for centres with limited experience; - utilise the rich theatrical traditions of European theatre & film; - explore the use of theatre and video in personal and group reactions and relationships ; - combat racism, xenophobia and other negative attitudes towards fellow human beings.

In the light of this development tendencies of economical and cultural polarisation are envisaged in European societies. Among people there seem to be a move in focus from joint cooperation, solidarity and common values towards a more individualistic search for interest and advantages. Objectives The proposal contributes to a redefinition and a reinforcement of local and regional participative democracy which implies the aspects of being a citizen not only in the local, regional and national democracies, but also in the European society. Target groups This proposal aims at opposing these tendencies by developing a training course for practitioners engaged in activities of Participative Democracy. Main activities: 1. research study on potentials and barriers for active involvement of citizens in the participating countries 2. needs analyses for strengthening conditions of participative democracy and active citizenship 3. pilot model for citizens active involvement with a special focus on inclusion of citizens with a immigrant background 4. training course. Expected outputs The central output is the training course, comprising among other following topics: - Taking part in democratic processes - Facilitating activities and fundraising in relation to participative democracy - Discussions in how to improve a European identity - Organising creative processes to engage people in participative democracy.

DESCRIPTION: In the context of demographic developments in Europe comprehensive problems in family planning and family formation and a rising awareness of one's own body and fertility show a need to offer more specific information about fertility management and give perspectives to people in their fertile years. The Fertility Management Program focuses on the development of a training course for adult educators to enable them to process offers on couple relationship, gender issues, sexuality, fertility awareness, family planning and life concepts to specific target groups who face multiple barriers to their empowerment (migrants, male population and people living in rural areas). Further expected outputs are a workbook for adult educators and specific material for the target groups. The project intends to bring different national efforts together taking into account the experiences of all partners. The aims of the program are to increase the knowledge on and awareness of fertility among different target groups, to enable and encourage couples to manage their fertility autonomously, to sensitize for gender related aspects/problems of fertility management, to enhance mutual decision on family planning and size, to maintain or/and improve reproductive health, to promote lifelong learning, to develop a mutual multicultural/ethnic European approach to fertility management.

DESCRIPTION: Populations of immigrant origin are growing in Europe. However, immigrants are underrepresented in many fields of civic activities. Therefore, raising immigrants' civic participation is a crucial issue for democracy in the European Union. The enhancing of immigrants' participation is an important task for adult education. The project WinAct aims at encouraging and enabling adult educational professionals to conduct workshops with the aim of raising civic participation of immigrants in trade unions and political parties. The course targets adult educational professionals all over Europe who are interested in promoting immigrant participation. Many of them are expected to be of immigrant origin. Specifically, the transnational team from Germany, Ireland, Norway, Romania and Portugal - develops and tests five workshop modules (base, party-specific, trade-union specific, Ireland and Norway) - tests and offers Grundtvig Training courses to introduce the workshop modules to adult educators and to encourage and enable them to adjust and complement the workshop modules for their own countries - runs a website in order to disseminate the project results and to encourage exchange and participation beyond the participants and beyond the project duration. Building on ongoing European Union-funded research, WinAct is innovative in strengthening the links not only within adult education, but by making recent research findings accessible without loss of time.

Quality is defined in terms of variety of methods, competent trainers, variety of content and the subsequent success of the participants. The situation regarding health and maintenance aspects is very different. This relates, for example, to the design of the premises, the scheduling and sensible structuring of breaks, as well as the provision of healthy, balanced meals and snacks. In adult education institutions in particular, this is an area where participants are left to their own devices. It is therefore the objective of the project to draw up and test a course concept which will enable trainers, managers and teachers to provide advice and instruction for participants in this area and to initiate appropriate changes within educational institutions. Materials such as a course framework, health check, curriculum (training to become a health coach) and teaching materials will be created for the course concept within the scope of the project. The course concept will be applied in a test phase, then evaluated and subsequently offered to providers under Grundtvig 3. Through the further training of trainers, managers and other teachers from further education institutions, we expect a) to expand the competence of the educational institutions; b) to enhance the learning environment; c) to improve the level of training success achieved in further education institutions; d) to provide overall competitive advantages for further education institutions which incorporate health factors into their work; e) to raise participants’ awareness of health-conscious behaviour, which will also have a positive impact on their home environment; f) to provide greater opportunities for participants to find jobs in the labour market.

It can be observed all over Europe that the less qualified people are, the less training they undergo. This situation is often caused by bad memories of school, fear of examinations, and so on. It is therefore difficult to motivate low-qualified people to enter training. The NAMAL 1 project, implemented from April 2002 to November 2003 within the GRUNDTVIG 1 programme, attempted to respond to this problem. Forty monographs were produced within this project concerning experiences in six EU countries. An analysis of these experiences made it possible to identify 15 motivation factors and an initial methodology for implementing them. The NAMAL 2 project aims to use the experiences and analyses of the NAMAL 1 project and expand them in the form of a course on ''how to motivate low-qualified or unqualified groups to undergo lifelong learning''. This course will be aimed at trainers and opinionleaders and intermediaries working with low-qualified groups, and specific groups (career advisers for employment agencies, trade union delegates, etc.). The particular aim is to allow these professionals to establish their own method of motivation, using the various influences they can bring to bear in order to make experiences carried out elsewhere relevant to the groups with which they work, and to the local context.

As identified in the mentioned ''Strategy'', one of the three main areas most in need of action in education and training is making lifelong learning a concrete reality together with another major priority being the integration of ICT, audiovisuals and multimedia technologies in teaching and learning methods. Thus, the priority of this proposal is the creation and implementation of a multimedia and audiovisual educational systems programme in the area of adult education for a closer involvement of the learners. Multimedia, through its varied and diverse mediums is a valuable method of educating and training with an effectiveness that goes beyond the borders and the national contexts, it is easily accessible to all and it undoubtedly opens up the educational potential to the wider world. The educational programme being proposed will have a two-pronged approach namely the training of adult education teachers and staff in the professional use of audiovisual material in adult education and the utilisation of the theme of Europe as a transversal subject for the course. The integration of ICT can play a useful role in terms of developing innovative and effective pedagogies adapted to the individual needs of learners, particularly adult and disadvantaged learners. The main objectives of the project are: - training of staff to utilise the potential of multimedia to overcome the barriers commonly present in adult education and the education of disadvantaged adult learners. - training the trainers into developing audiovisual outputs which will have the potential of a multiplier effect and which are easily transferable to various themes, skills and educational levels - training how to develop audiovisual material for professional adult education COORDINATOR: UNIVERSITY OF MALTA Tal QROQQ MT-MSD06 MSIDA Phone: +356 23402204 Fax: +356 21323807 Email: jonathan.vassallo@um.edu.mt Internet site address: http://www.um.edu.mt CONTACT: Jonathan VASSALLO PARTNERS: • • • • • • LATINA PICTURES LTD., KALKARA, MT NATIONAL FILM AND TELEVISION SCHOOL, BEACONSFIELD, UK 'IL PERUGINO'' INSTITUTE, CITTA' DELLA PIEVE, IT GRUPO COMPOSTELA DE UNIVERSIDADES, SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, ES ERASMUS HOGESCHOOL BRUSSEL, BRUSSELS, BE MASARYKOVA UNIVERZITA V BRNE, BRNO, CZ GRANT AMOUNT: 210000 € APPROVED BUDGET: 280000 € CONTRACT DURATION: 24 (in months) 45 SOCRATES COMPENDIUM 2006 GRUNDTVIG - DEVELOPMENT OF GRUNDTVIG TRAINING COURSES 230295-CP-1-2006-1-AT-GRUNDTVIG-G11 ICT4T - ICT Training for trainers - Meeting Senior Learner Needs DESCRIPTION: The goal of the project is to contribute to improvements in the integration of ICT in society for the benefit of elderly persons, taking into account their specific needs so that they can enjoy the benefits of ICT.

Partners in the FL Falcon Grundtvig 4 project identified significant new development work across Europe, but an absence of infrastructure for sharing European good practice, exchanging expertise, resources or information. FL practitioners are unnecessarily duplicating development work because they are working in isolation. The project will: - Establish a European FL Network to create a mechanism for on-going exchange of expertise, good practice, news, research and developments in the field of Family Learning and facilitate discussion and shared understanding of concepts/terminology around Family Learning Policy and Practice. - Identify new priorities and raise the profile of Family Learning across Europe, by consolidating informal networks, contributing to the basic skills debate, influencing policy makers, disseminating and mainstreaming FL developments.

It will bring together a variety of stakeholders with their tools and experiences in the field of identifying, assessing and recognizing these skills. The main objective is to create a space for the exchange of approaches, needs and knowledge between these actors. The core of MOVE will be a three day conference in Brussels in May 2007 bringing together 60 experts and practitioners in the field and providing a space for the presentation of good practices, the identification of barriers that hinder collaboration of the different stakeholders and discussion on common standards. The participants will debate the possibility to develop a ''European Volunteer Pass'', a portfolio of skills and competences learned through volunteering that could contribute to the current work of the European institutions on the recognition on non-formal learning and the European Qualification Framework. The results and the experience of the seminar will lead to the creation of a European Thematic Network that will take further the debate and work on implementation of the results.
