GENERAL EUROPEAN CO-OPERATION REFERENCE: 225293-CP-1-2005-1-BE-GRUNDTVIG-G1 TITLE: SEALLL - SELF EVALUATION IN ADULT LIFE LONG LEARNING DESCRIPTION: The SEALLL project aims to improve the quality of content, delivery, management and organisation of adult learning through the introduction and promotion of self-evaluation in formal, non-formal and informal adult education. The field of adult education is extremely varied. Organisations are serving different audiences and target groups, are funded from a variety of sources and work in a complex field of societal forces. Within the sector of adult education we see a variety in the extent to which outputs are standardised and to which other criteria are fixed. So quality care, self-evaluation, self-regulated learning and setting up your institution as a learning organisation is very much needed in an LLL context. SEALLL will focus on self-evaluation as an attempt to enrich/enlarge your own perspective of yourself and your organisation in the broad sense of the word by looking at yourself in a systematic way from the various perspectives other relevant players may look at you. The tool we envisage for the project will start from a modular framework where ''selfevaluation as a dialogue in a multiplayer situation'' will be the key-concept. A dialogue between staff, teachers and learners within the institution and a dialogue between the institution and relevant external actors will be the starting point for SE. This modular approach will make the results applicable in the varied fields and forms of adult education. Through the SEALLL project we want to create and disseminate useful material (selfevaluation tools, guidelines, dissemination and awareness raising material….) and set up local, national and international training.

The Study targets European and international institutions; relevant national and international Non Governmental Organisations; national policy and decision makers; national and local adult education practitioners and learners. The Study combines empirical collection of data, and events which ensure the participation of relevant stakeholders (meeting with practitioners, policy dialogue meeting, national consultations). It is collaborative and transnational. It links research, policy and practice. Data will be collected in Austria, Denmark, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Spain, Slovenia, Romania, UK. The Study is organised around four complementary workblocks : - documentary review, October 2005 - October 2006 - policy analysis, October 2005 - October 2006 - practices analysis, October 2005 - March 2007 - final synthesis, March - September 2007. The outcomes of the project will be both product (a) and process (b) oriented. (a) Documentary review: country by country state of the art reports on documents and studies; analysis, synthesis and conclusions - Policy analysis: national reports; report on European policies; analysis, synthesis and conclusions - Practices analysis: case studies compendium; analysis, synthesis and conclusions - Final synthesis: guidelines for policies and practices; conclusions and recommendations - Project website (b) Cooperation between research, practice and policy; participation and contribution of practitioners and learners; generation of stakeholders dialogue on adult learning for democratic citizenship.

This course module will be developed on the basis of field research as well as in close cooperation with trainers in continuing education colleges and according to the needs of the participants. The central elements of the course module will firstly be a set of action oriented situations and activities for the identification of interests and desires. These situations and activities will be developed in each partner country and put together to a common set of activities. Furthermore they will be tested in practice. Secondly, an interactive ICT-tool for the identification of former learning context, competences and possible meaningful future activities will be developed. This will be tested and improved according to the evaluation in practice in two steps. Thirdly, an interactive guide for trainers in adult education courses will be produced which gives advice, practical examples and material for carrying through the course module.

So, the main objective of the ALICE project is to develop a methodological approach motivating people from specific groups to (re-)enter learning processes and to organise their participation in them on their own. Target groups are adolescents in detention centres, senior citizens, people in long-term unemployment and those with disabilities. Often these people are excluded from full participation in social and political life and do not have the chance to live up to their potentials. The ALICE approach is systematically tried out, documented and evaluated, so that the project experience can be analysed, generalised, edited and disseminated as a result that is re-usable in other adult education contexts. It is a second objective of the project to make available the approach to potential direct users: - Universities, schools, NGOs and other qualification institutions of adult education - Academic and political areas of decision making concerning adult education - Professionals (e.g. teachers, trainers, social workers) working in adult education The outputs, issued as paper material, a website and a CD-ROM will be: - Modules for adult education schemes - Material compiling requirements of trainers / Trainer profile - Recommendations / guidelines for decision makers in adult education and social policies Dissemination is promoted with the help of a Final Conference towards the end of the project. Central activities are practical training courses centred around development and (re)design of toys and games. The proposed project provides learning methods based on - empowerment - motivation - inclusion of people belonging to the target user groups - aiming at encouraging lifelong learning.

For young adults, however, not being able to read or write means social exclusion and fewer opportunities in the employment market. In general neither the public nor people in the immediate surroundings are aware of the situation. It is crucial to reach people close to the illiterates and inform them about reasons and effects of the reading and writing deficiency as well as to suggest solutions. Alpha16+ will identify key persons in the environment of the illiterates, especially young adults aged 16 to 25. The identified key persons will be made aware of the problem and be trained so that they will be able to recognize illiterates and guide them to help and training. The methodology to be used will raise awareness and spread information about illiteracy and establish regional guides to consulting and education. Key persons will be trained and appropriate material will be developed. The results of the project will be presented on a web site which will include a collection of examples of good practice. A handbook illustrating the training concept for key persons will be published together with a flyer including information on illiteracy and training opportunities to identify and sensitise key persons.

Particularly in the field of further education of visually impaired and blind people it is important to make information and communication techniques the basic medium of various learning processes since subsequent further training is developed on it. However the computer-assisted educational courses for visually impaired people do not keep pace with technical development. Equality between handicapped and non handicapped users can take place in the unrestricted use of eLearning only if there is transparency of the offer to each individual user. SEE-VIP therefore will offer a laboratory platform for visually impaired and blind people for the improvement of their translator and interpreter competences. This is an excellent preparation for the translator examination in their home country. Linguistic and cultural competences and their accreditation are improved by the establishment of a Europeanwide interpreter network. With it the chances to obtain employment increase. The project will analyse the qualification needs of visually impaired/blind people, ensure equal opportunities for barrier-free eLearning offers for blind and visually impaired people and improve information competence. It will prepare students to take the interpreter examination in their home country and increase their chances in the job market. Blended learning will be used in developing a curriculum for WBT course information management and assessment in English. The material will be available in Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, German, Lithuanian and Slovak. A translator network will be established and on-line facilities will be available. In addition, a market study for the Baltic states which are interested in WBT offers for visually impaired/blind people will be made. COORDINATOR: BILDUNGSWERK DER SÄCHSISCHEN WIRTSCHAFT E.V.

ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP FOR PEOPLE WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES DESCRIPTION: Our objective is to teach persons with learning disabilities (mentally handicapped adults) how they can be involved in the decision-making process at the micro-, meso- and macro-level. We start with: how do you make decisions for yourself; then: how do you make decisions in groups, and finally: how are decisions made in your organisation, city, and country? Are you involved in these decisions, CAN you be involved? Students will be presented with realistic problems that they can easily identify with, as well as with the tools and the materials they may need to solve these problems. As part of the course, students will learn how they can use the internet as a resource and a tool for active citizenship. To this end, we will develop a curriculum and learning materials for people with mild to more severe learning disabilities, living at home, in institutions, or independently. The curriculum and the materials will be adapted by each partner to reflect the situation of learning disabled people in their country. Our main activity will be the development and testing of the curriculum and the learning materials, in close co-operation with the target group, in an iterative development process. A second activity will be the development of support materials: tools, 'how-to' guides and a brochure that the target group may use to inform mainstream society that people with learning disabilities CAN and MUST be involved in decisions that affect them. Finally, a teachers' manual will be produced and a training course organised for teachers, parents and professionals to show the participants that, and how, they can help learning disabled adults become (more) active participants in their lives, more active citizens in their community. All materials will be localised to reflect the situation in the participating countries and will published in the national languages of the partners, as well as in English. All partners will actively disseminate the results of the project. COORDINATOR: ULMER VOLKSHOCHSCHULE E.V.

During school time and later on during vocational training, university studies or further education learning proceeds through reading and writing. At the same time communication by means of pictograms increased a lot in everyday life as well as in business life. Many work processes in connection with PC work with icons. All software programmes e.g. of Microsoft or Apple guide the user through their programmes by the support of icons. Vending machines are equipped with touch screens as well as computer information sources in museums. They all include pictograms, pictures and icons in order to make information more accessible to the user. In all these examples the understanding of pictures and signs is required. Common learning theories do not give an appropriate answer to the question how learning happens through visual processes. The question about the influence of pictures in learning process as well as the reception is left to disciplines related to arts, e.g. design, advertising, etc. and has not yet been posed by adult educators in particular. From our experiences in basic skills we know that especially people with low literacy skills depend on processing information by means of pictures. This is regarded as a compensation strategy for managing daily life. In the same time it is a special strength or competence that has not been acknowledged or recognised enough yet for reasons that this is an informally acquired competence. With this project we want to build up on current findings from both basic skills and acquisition of informal competences in order to find out how the so called ''visual learning'' easies the process of learning. In order to find some evidence for our assumptions, we want to interview learners with reading and writing difficulties and so called ''third age learners''. We want to focus on their learning biography and the role pictures play during a lifespan. For trainers we will develop, provide and evaluate a workshop which qualifies them for ''visual learning''. The workshop will on the one hand sensitise the trainer about the role of pictures in learning processes and on the other hand qualify them in drawing pictures and apply them in teaching. This competence is known as visual facilitating. COORDINATOR: DEUTSCHES INSTITUT FÜR ERWACHSENENBILDUNG E. V.

However, it is useful to include them in the lifelong learning philosophy and approach in order to enable them to participate more actively in society and at the same time to preserve their knowledge and experience, and enable it to be used by other generations. ELLA will involve the very old and persons suffering from dementia in educational work. The project will redefine the idea of education on the basis of the encounter between old persons and voluntary workers as educational mediators. The project will use a geragogical approach to maintaining skills and independence. A new concept of education is to be developed for the very old and persons suffering from dementia. Voluntary workers will be asked give courses for this group of persons on the basis of the new educational approach.

One of the sectors of agriculture which is constantly developing and gives advancement opportunities to the farmers is Agricultural Tourism and Bio-cultivation. Nevertheless, farmers rarely show interest in training and educational matters. This is due not only to the lack of information on these matters, but to the lack of adequate educational material for adult farmers. Moreover, Agricultural Tourism and Bio-cultivation tend to attract not that much the farmers who need to take advantage of it, but mainly others who had nothing to do with agriculture until now. The main reason for that is that the programs of information and training, because of their form and content, are usually more accessible to them than to the farmers. In reverse, what is needed is a product whose main addressee will be the farmers, being oriented to their needs. The aim of our proposal is the development of an Electronic European Agricultural Network. That means we will develop a Network for cooperation between Centers that offer education and training to the farmers, in order to develop, exchange and translate standard educational programs and material for the training of adult farmers. In the same Network can also take part Farmers Association, or even groups of farmers, in order to choose the Educational Center or the educational material they need, as well as to communicate information related to that material, proposals for the development of new material, successful implementation of previous training, etc. The Network will begin with the partners of the project and the Farmers' Associations that will test its result. The basic activities will be the following: - Initial Research: Educational Centers that already exist (Educational Material they offer; Comparative Analysis and Evaluation). - Development of a Standard for Educational Material. - Development of original Educational Units based on the Standard. This material will be incorporated in a Multimedia CD, and in a Web page. The Web page will be constantly renewed by the partners with up-to-date information (news, etc), subjects related to Agro-tourism and Bio-cultivation, references to successful cases, farmers' experiences, as well as publications by the EU and information about other EU actions relative to the subject. What we want to create is an Educational Community, in which will take part not only the partners, but gradually all the Centers involved in subjects concerning Agricultural Tourism and Bio-cultivation. One of the main actions of the Centers taking part in the Network will be the translation of the educational programs that have been ''placed'' in the Network by others. Gradually, the Network's material will be enriched, giving the opportunity to the farmers to have ''real'' access to the educational material that can contribute to their economic progress and prosperity.

Le projet DECLIC entend contribuer à cette appropriation par la formation à l'action juridique et judiciaire des personnes, en l'espèce en situation de précarité économique et sociale (habitants de quartier, collectifs de femmes, de migrants, de paysans en difficultés). Il vise à mutualiser les compétences et savoir faire d'organisations d'éducation populaire (en France, Belgique, Italie et Espagne) pour élaborer et diffuser des modules de formation et supports pédagogiques, à partir de l'identification et l'analyse de pratiques populaires de droit européennes (mouvements collectifs de revendication de droit, participation citoyenne à la production de droit...), à l'origine de dynamiques sociales importantes. L'élaboration se fera en partenariat étroit avec les acteurs de ces pratiques qui seront amenés à intervenir lors des futures formations.

Permettre à des personnes placées sous main de justice de pouvoir être accompagnées dans leur démarche de Validation des Acquis de l'Expérience, en vue de faciliter leur (ré)insertion sociale et/ou professionnelle ultérieure, demande une prise en compte globale de la problématique à traiter sous des aspects aussi différenciés que la revalorisation de l'identité individuelle et familiale, la préparation des enseignants intervenant en prison, l'implication des personnels pénitentiaires autant que celle des magistrats, la structuration des organisations... Dans ce contexte environnemental spécifique, il s'agit d'inventorier des expériences nationales d'ores et déjà conduites dans différents pays européens en vue de parvenir à une dissémination de pratiques concertées et complémentaires. Il s'agira aussi et surtout de développer, au niveau européen, des réflexions, des modes d'accompagnement, des outils et des supports pédagogiques spécifiquement adaptés aux contraintes du milieu pénitentiaire et à expérimenter, dans la seconde moitié du projet, les résultats des travaux produits par les partenaires.

Ce projet est orienté vers les utilisateurs finaux, autour de 3 groupes cibles: - les handicapés moteurs et sensoriels (mais usagers potentiels des TIC); - les personnes ''victimes'' de la fracture numérique et de certaines formes de fracture sociales (n'ayant pas d'accès à l'ordinateur par exemple); - les personnes victimes de la distance. L'objectif est d'acquérir un niveau d'usage personnel et de compétences professionnelles dans l'utilisation des TIC. Quatre axes structurent les activités du projet: - l'implication des utilisateurs finaux; - un contenu validation correspondant à l'acquisition de l'autonomie (usage autonome) des TIC (ordinateurs, Internet, usages sociaux et professionnels); - le déploiement du réseau (outils...), avec des interfaces dédiées au niveau européen, basé sur le concept du ''Design for all''; - la formation des utilisateurs (outils, méthodologie...), formateurs, intermédiaires. Des groupes ''tests'' sont présents à toutes les étapes, afin d'assurer la validation du dispositif. L'accent sera mis sur l'accompagnement local dans la phase d'acquisition de l'autonomie. Le principal résultat escompté est le déploiement d'un réseau européen de noeuds d'accès à la connaissance.

To achieve this, the following objectives are set out: - To conduct secondary research to identify the contribution and potential contribution to social transformation and increased participation within marginalised communities through sports development programmes; - To conduct secondary research into critical factors for success of such programmes for the advancement of full inclusion of disadvantaged and underrepresented groups in society; - To identify the skills, knowledge, competencies required of adult activists to develop, facilitate, support and evaluate such programmes in the context of community education and development; - To design an education/training programme in modular form, which will develop the identified knowledge, skills and competencies of adults who act either as sports leaders/coaches/educators or community based activists/leaders/educators; - To seek formal accreditation of this programme within recognised frameworks of both coach education/development and which articulates with ECTS; - To pilot the programme with a representative range of participants across the partner states; - To integrate the programme into mainstream provision and so sustain it beyond the lifetime of the project; - To produce and disseminate guidelines for the design and conduct of sports development programmes aimed at promoting social transformation; - Modular education/training programme to develop the above knowledge, skills and competencies of adults at Further and Higher Education levels, along with the learning resources to support the program; - Submission for the formal recognition of this programme within a qualifications framework articulating with ECTS; - Provision for web-based delivery and support for those in marginalised communities who need and have the capacity to participate in this form of delivery; - A project website which allows access to all the project products and which will be maintained as a resource for community groups after the completion of the project, a set of guidelines for the conduct of sports development programmes to promote social transformation and inclusion in a community setting; - An international conference to disseminate and discuss project outcomes. It is contended that this innovative integration of the fields of community and sport education and development will provide a unique and sustainable contribution to the integration of disadvantaged groups into society. Furthermore the transnational nature of sport and of the interest in it through all levels of society will allow CODES to develop outcomes which will have pan-European impact. OBJECTIVES: Through this innovative interlinking of the fields of community and sports education/development, a unique and sustainable provision will be established for the integration of disadvantaged groups into society. Furthermore, the transnational nature of sport and interest in it, through all levels of society, will allow CODES to develop outcomes which will have pan-European impact and so contribute to the integration of the new member states. 26 SOCRATES COMPENDIUM 2005 PROJECTS GRUNDTVIG - GENERAL EUROPEAN CO-OPERATION TARGET GROUPS: The immediate target groups will consist of: - Adults active, or potentially active, within disadvantaged/marginalised communities as community activists/educators/leaders - in both paid and voluntary roles. - Adults active, or potentially active, within disadvantaged/marginalised communities as sports coaches/educators/leaders - in both paid or voluntary roles. - Adults engaged in formal programmes of community education/development courses. - Sports coaches in clubs and societies. The ultimate beneficiaries will be members of the disadvantaged/marginalised communities, who, through involvement in sports development programmes, will be encouraged and given confidence and capacity to participate more fully within their own communities. MAIN ACTIVITIES AND PRODUCTS: The planned products of the CODES project are as follows: - Research report identifying the actual and potential contribution of sports development programmes to social transformation and enhancing participation within disadvantaged communities; - Research report identifying the critical success factors of such programmes; - Profile, in terms of knowledge skills and competencies, of community based adult activists, leaders and educators to develop, deliver, support and assess programmes of sports development within disadvantaged communities.

Not all immigrants have a low level of formal education. However, although many of them have remarkable key skills, medium or high education and training levels, as well as a professional profile which would imply a good job, they are generally offered jobs in Europe requiring a low-skilled or even unskilled profile. E-DRIM intends to favour the process of integration of immigrants, especially, but not exclusively, of those who have higher levels of competences, qualifications and professionalism, by supporting their more active role in the society (by improving their employability by acquiring, updating, formal recognition of basic, language and professional skills), providing them with learning and lifelong learning initiatives supporting entrepreneurship as a new and alternative path to personal development. The necessity to remove occupational barriers faced by ethnic minorities and immigrants is in fact recognised as a fundamental element for social cohesion and integration in Europe. This policy attention aimed at making Europe an inclusive society contribute to the perception, by potential immigrants, of Europe as a place rich in opportunities, where to develop a personal and professional ''life project'': European society thereof becomes the place for the ''European dream'' to come true.

The L3 Map does not aim to invent new instruments like portfolio systems or assessment methods but is a tool on a ''higher'' strategic level, setting out where the learner wants to go and managing the trip. The L3 Map will make the learner conscious of the learning and (personal) development process - they become aware of how they can set a goal, the relationship between the goal and their path, the different stages of their path and how to keep motivated along the way. This enables the learner to take responsibility for the process and ultimately to autonomously use the tool autonomously. Target groups are adult learners: immigrant learners, youngsters at risk, workers needing an upgrading. Main activities & outputs: Identify existing methods and instruments used to record and manage the learning process. Develop and test the L3 Map in the 8 participating countries and by the target groups involved. The final L3 Map will be set out as a CD-ROM. The project will provide a manual, that will also be presented in trainings and in a Grundtvig 3 course.

In people with learning or multiple disabilities this important personal ability is often lacking; or, due to their motor, cognitive, sensory, and emotional difficulties it is much more difficult to develop. More heteronomy than self-determination is especially experienced by institutionalised disabled individuals; they have to live and work with a high level of dependence. The Basic Skills Training Model within the framework of the presented project should take the principle of equal opportunities into account and lead institutionalised and hospitalised disabled people to an appropriate degree of selfdetermination and prepare them for active participation in society. In a transnational cooperation a Basic Skills Training Model is to be developed, which shall on the one hand support the target group of people with learning or multiple disabilities by stimulating a process of development so that they are able to live a selfdetermined life, and on the other hand serve and accompany institutions in the disability sector (sheltered workshops and assisted living) who care for the target group. The interaction between the Basic Skills Training and the accompanied Coaching of social institutions is a central aim of the project. The Basic Skills Trainings Model includes a Curriculum for a Basic Skills Training for people with learning or multiple disabilities in small groups, methodical/didactic material developed to support communication, the learning and group processes, two Curricula for a further education addressing professionals in psychosocial counselling (Train the Trainer and European Counsellor), test and evaluation reports received by the means of pilot groups. The model will be available for dissemination on a web-site and on CD-ROM including a handbook in the national languages of the participating countries and in English.

Recommendations to the European Commission include ''introduction of special measures of motivation to encourage the participation of marginalised groups in education programmes''. Our project will introduce sport activities into basic skills and communication training for disadvantaged adults, and its reception in the public will benefit tremendously from the timely coincidence of the project dissemination activities with the European Football Championship EURO 2008 (qualification matches in 2007, finals in 2008). Our dissemination and demonstration events will create an excellent opportunity to direct public awareness from mere sport issues to educational aspects using sport as underlying pedagogical method. The project will develop a Curriculum for basic skills and social skills training in combination with sporting activities (football, but also other sports depending on the local condition and the target groups), and a Tool Box containing materials and methods. It will help to attract participation and increase motivation among a ''hard-toreach'' target group and to raise public awareness of the project's aims by specifically designed Golden Goal Demonstration Events in each partner's country. The project contents and results will also be spread to all EU member states through a variety of dissemination activities, including a European Multiplier Seminar for countries not participating in the project. The multi-actor partnership consists of 22 partners from 18 countries. All products will be available for free download at least until autumn 2010.

It will provide training and educational support to organisations and individuals that wish to develop local initiatives that combine the goals of providing adult education and training through social employment and in providing organic waste management and horticultural services. This will be achieved by creating a toolkit of resources that can support these projects in a number of ways. The project partners and similar organisations will be able to use the toolkit to develop training programmes and seminars, while remote learners and trainees at previous events will be able to access the toolkit through the project's website. The project will also set up a network of demonstration sites around Europe. These sites will show best practice and innovation in the way local projects can marry the combined aims of composting and adult education, and they will be actual practical projects. The sites will be used as working classrooms for training events based on the toolkit and they will enable remote learners to arrange their own visits and see the sites first-hand.

This project aims to address this by developing the role of the intercultural mediator/community learning advocate, developing professional training for members of local migrant/minority communities who may already act as volunteer community advisers and advocates. The training would support these individuals in their work as trusted intermediaries between their community and the services, but also develop their role to become Learning Advocates in the community, to give these groups access to appropriate education & training. Professional training would benefit the individual providing career progression, and perhaps employment. Project partners: North London Colleges European Network (UK), Associazione Formazione 80 (IT), IRFA Interregion Est (FR) and Dia Sport (BG) will work with local networks on all aspects of the project: - initial research in/across the 4 countries - design of a flexible unitised training module - piloting of the module with members of minority/migrant communities in 4 countries - ongoing dissemination. The research report will be published and the training module produced on CD Rom in 4 languages EN, IT, FR and BG. Note: The acronym IRIS stands for ''International Respect for Intercultural Skills''. This is the underlying ethos and aim of the whole project.

Each partner, mainly East European, is part of a regional training network of public and private sector providers of adult education. Eastward will develop opportunities for lifelong learning based in community and workplace learning centres, and will concentrate upon the accreditation of adults' nonformal learning from life and work experience as a means of opening up new progression routes into adult, further and higher education. Initially in the participating countries and subsequently EU-wide, through its establishment of a virtual European centre for Accrediting Community and Workplace Learning. The partners will draw upon their own experience and best practice in this field to produce a European template for a training programme in key, transferable skills, which can be adapted to the national and regional needs of all EU countries The outputs of the project will include web based support materials and course modules which combine to make up a European Certificate in Personal Skills. Paper and electronic versions of teaching materials appropriate to the needs of the target group will be produced.

The target groups cover a range of adult learners, including young people ''at risk'' of offending; prisoners; ex-offenders and learning professionals. Key overall objectives include developing innovative offending prevention strategies, improving prison education methods and tools and contributing to resettlement support services, thus helping to reduce levels of re-offending. In these ways, the project directly addresses key GRUNDTVIG programme priorities on continuing training of adult education staff and education for marginalised citizens. The project covers a spectrum of research, development and implementation activities to promote innovation and the improved availability, accessibility and quality of educational provision. It integrates research activities (providing inputs to develop a common European pedagogic framework and standards for prison education) with technical and content development. In turn, the project provides for the implementation and evaluation of the models and services in seven European sites. Finally, it deploys the learning gained from the results of the evaluation activities to promote active knowledge sharing and dissemination. A key innovation is to develop and evaluate an interactive ''blended e-Learning'' environment to help prisoners, young adults ''at risk'' of offending, and ex-offenders explore the implications of ''life decisions'' and the consequences of a ''life of crime''.

The objectives are: - to pilot an innovative European tool for Lingua 2 learning which integrates the various learner centred models of teaching and learning discovered as a result of the SELL project and which integrates Citizenship; - build on the role of the language assistant developed in SELL (Grundtvig 2 project and the base of BRIDGES) and extend it to a new profession, that of Language and Culture Guide (LCG). As well as supporting learning, they will build bridges between learners and teachers, learners and the new language, society and culture and act as role models for the learners; - develop training modules for the LCGs and Lingua 2 teachers (teachers who teach the national language of the partner countries to non-native speakers, immigrants/minorities) in order to deliver the BRIDGES methodology; - provide employment opportunities for language learners. Becoming an LCG will provide transferable skills for further progression into a full teaching or other professional role; It is anticipated that these objectives will enable beneficiary second language learners to integrate more effectively into the society of their country of residence by improving their motivation and achievement in language learning, building on their existing skills and achievements and offering actual employment possibilities as LCGs.

We argue that bridging the gap between life in prison and life after prison by preparing prisoners for a networked world will limit recidivism. People today need to be multiliterate in today's society, i.e. they need to be able to navigate in and locate digitally linked resources for professional as well as private tasks. Target groups: The primary target group is prisoners, both women and men. Also, prison teachers will benefit by engaging in activities and practices conducive to developing professional expertise for the knowledge society. In a more indirect way, the prison as an organization will benefit by preparing inmates for e-citizenship. Main Activities: Developing sociotechnical system, developing educational activities, engaging prisons and prisoners in future-oriented learning and teaching, producing dissemination material. Expected outputs: A sociotechnical system including Virtual Private Networks (VPN), Learning Management System (LMS), firewalls and dedicated servers adapted to organizational and pedagogical needs and security demands. Pedagogical use as seen in examples of good practice, teleteaching material, manuals, project website, dissemination material.

The product will be used flexibly locally, so not only the content but the method of the project will attract the target groups: a learning facility offered in different environments and attractive/interesting deliveries (methods, themes, periods, lecturer, materials) within nonformal education. Target groups are people who want to enforce their political participation at various levels while broadening their European perspective, e.g. voluntary workers and employees of local and national NGOs, migrant organisations, adult education providers, local and regional politicians, people working for local and alternative media, etc. We will develop 16 modules/themes each with different emphasis: the user can attend only modules they are particularly interested or all modules. Each module will be self-contained and nevertheless integrated in the whole concept. The contents is based on the diffusion of (simple) concepts connected with civic participation in democratic life to raise awareness of the concept of ''European membership'' and to promote and disseminate the values and objectives of the European Union. POWAR will increase and stimulate active participation in local political life and involve citizens closely in reflection and discussion on the EU enlargement and multicultural society. With a with info campaign and presence (TV broadcasting, Internet TV, Internet portal, international meetings) involving social partners and an exhibition of relevant materials, we want to disseminate and ensure the sustainability of the project activities.

Therefore the lifelong learning process takes place not only in schools and in vocational contexts, but more and more in the private area. As a consequence, the methods of learning and teaching have changed rapidly along with the development of e-learning. The integration of e-learning often is the best option for arranging effective relationships between teachers and learners. Classical learning in classrooms changed into elearning about ten years ago but its success was limited because learners never came to the same environment with the instructors. Nowadays any approach becomes more wide spread, which is called blended learning. In this approach students follow the courses through ODL but from time to time they come to classrooms and discuss the subject with the tutors all together. By a mixture of face to face learning plus the usage of different electronic media (synchronous and asynchronous learning tools), the integration of e-learning in classic learning situations is an optimal possibility for the arrangement of effective learning processes. E-learning in the sense of blended learning represents a meaningful and beneficial module in further education as well as in private education. Through the integration of elearning, all participating partners want to develop abilities and motivation especially for the target groups which have not been interested so far in further training for different reasons. The main focus is on reviving interest on learning as a prerequisite for further education.

This training programme is not designed as a form of interfaith dialogue, nor will it propose itself as an expert in the variety of religious traditions. It is designed in the spirit of anti-prejudice diversity education: to recognize and respect multicultural diversity, to confront prejudice and discrimination, and to develop intercultural skills. It brings a topic that has normally belonged only to the realm of religious leaders to the realm of adult educators who may or may not have religious expertise or affiliation. By working with adult educators active in community associations, providing concrete pedagogical tools, it is possible to transform religious differences from an obstacle to an opportunity.

Cette dimension européenne de la culture doit contribuer à la construction d'une identité qui dépasse le niveau régional et national et ainsi conforter la cohésion de la nouvelle composition de l'Union Européenne. Par ailleurs, ces formations doivent amplifier ''l'éducation tout au long de la vie'', l'articulation centrale d'une participation plus responsable des citoyens au développement économique et social durable et au progrès de l'égalité des chances. Les publics cibles: Le cours élaboré, illustré, mis à l'épreuve et validé, ''le livre du maître'' concerne tout d'abord toute personne impliquée dans la formation des adultes et, au second degré, l'ensemble des apprenants adultes (bénéficiaires finaux). Pour atteindre ces objectifs, les partenaires du projet s'attacheront à construire ce cours en dialogue après avoir analysé les besoins, identifié les formations en cours et le niveau des publics-cibles dans les différentes zones de l'Europe.

Central and Eastern European (CEE) Universities need to become more open, dynamic institutions reflecting the market needs and actively participating in optimising their economic and social environments. Universities ought to reach out to their communities and offer their broad expertise. This can only be achieved via wide and varied partnership network including businesses, service organisations and public institutions. The predisposition for that is cultural change, firstly at Higher Education universities but also within all institutions involved. The project's aim is to promote the culture change within CEE Higher Education institutions, private and public bodies, and to involve them in carrying out/receiving outreach activities. It is being achieved by establishing a systematic triangle cooperation among the Higher Education institutions, private and public organisations and by addressing Higher Education management to incorporate the new concept. Additionally, it is supported by providing academic staff with needed skills to outreach. The project presents training courses promoting outreach philosophy. The training is addressed to: - Higher Education staff and management; - middle/senior management of private organisations; - public organisations staff and management. Developed training courses are: Outreach Training Course modules (Outreach Activities, Corporate Social Responsibility, Needs Analysis Skills).

The AGENDA21 has been signed by 180 countries in 1992 in Rio de Janeiro. At the Global, and also especially at regional levels, governments, communes, associations and all citizens together ought to stand up for a sustainable development of a future-oriented society. To improve the recently stagnant implementation at the local level, it is necessary to improve the qualification of the main actors. As modern teachers of adult education, they have to be familiar with communication, practice mediation and develop denouements of conflicts, know about legally prevailing circumstances and have to be experienced in public relations. In order to achieve this competence, existing experiences and materials should be lifted up to the present state of knowledge and methods, adapted to the general conditions of partner countries (AT, DE, GR, LT, LV, HU), and extended to the European dimension. This will lead to the training courses and the needed teaching materials. Since 2001, AGENDA21 participants from Thuringia and Hungary have met annually, and since 2003 also from Lithuania. Therefore, existing know how is on-hand. COORDINATOR: LÄNDLICHE ERWACHSENENBILDUNG THÜRINGEN E.V.

Their role is important for the effectiveness and quality of management activities of the organization and thus the efficiency of educational systems within a knowledge-based Europe. And this has an impact on elevating the participation in lifelong learning, especially as administrators are often the first contact that adult learners have. The project develops tests and carries out a Grundtvig 3 - training course to lift up professionalism concerning the work between learners and the education system, as well as to facilitate cooperation at the European level. The three courses to be held during the project will contain study-circle/role-playing/self-evaluation modules, one poster-session, presentations and an excursion to an establishment in the host country. Additionally the project will gather and disseminate information about the target group in relation with the project's evaluation and sustainability strategy. Three Reports will deal with the pre-requisites (What do we know about the persons? What are the tasks? What are their needs?), the European dimension of the group's contribution to adult and continuing education and the potential of Grundtvig 3 courses for the target group.

On the one hand, trainers and teachers in the field of adult education are more and more demanded to act in regional and transnational networks. On the other hand, in the future they will also be asked to impart key-competences to learners in the various contexts regarding the working in cooperative and networked structures. Competence in networking on the one hand means expert-knowledge regarding cooperation and networks (typology, legal form, structures etc.), and on the other hand is a key-qualification, which enables to work in cooperative and networked structures. TARGET GROUPS The training course will be developed for key persons in adult education and qualification. It is also addressed to project managers of EU programmes. Key persons in the mentioned fields of education could be trainers, teachers, instructors, consultants and staff-managers. MAIN ACTIVITIES - Compilation of existing modules; - adaptation of already working modules, including methods, tools and training material; - development of quality criteria for good training modules; - test and evaluation of trainings; - dissemination of the idea of network and cooperation in the field of adult education. EXPECTED OUTPUTS - Training modules, inputs, didactical approaches, methods/tools, learning material; - compilation of existing concepts, approaches, trainings tools and methods from the partner countries; - criteria for good trainings courses; - methods and instruments for making network and cooperation competences more visible; - instruments to indicate the ability of institutions to network and cooperate.

The project partnership will develop a 64 hours face-to-face (''presence'') course plus 50-60 eLearning hours per learner. The course is supposed to enable stakeholders of adult education to develop and realise combined training faster and more extensive and to some degree at a higher, comparable quality level. The project will be divided in 4 work packages: 1. Analysis of proven practice in blended learning arrangements: products will be partner profiles, inventories, analytical instruments and guidelines. 2. Development of a course for blended learning developers/trainers: in a European collaborative approach, each partner will develop course modules for blended learning educationalists that will be combined in developing workshops. 3. Realisation and testing of courses: the courses will be tested in 2 phases on the national (month 12-18) and transnational level (month 18-23) using a blended learning approach via an A-B-C-D Learning Management System. 4. Dissemination and valorisation of the developed products and services: the services and products will be valorised and disseminated mainly through the transnational project clusters.

These rural areas all suffer from an exodus of young people, an unfavourable age structure, fewer education, communication and information resources, declining employment opportunities and high unemployment rates, and deterioration in the rural/local infrastructure. Development and trials of an integrative course on “Design and operation of education, communication, information and family centres in rural areas of the EU” will enhance the capacity of players in adult education to develop education and information structures and/or courses in order to make a contribution to improving the general social and economic conditions in rural areas in the EU. A wide variety of pedagogical and didactical approaches will be used. There will be an exchange of experience in existing institutions with suitable activity profiles. The needs of target groups in the project partner countries will be identified for the development of the training course and the teaching material. The project will develop a training course which will be offered twice within Grundtvig 3. It will have a guide for trainers and there will be a toolbox with, inter alia, examples of subjects and information covered. There will be examples of good practice, education information for business start-ups, people with disabilities and for the use of information technologies. In addition there will be a training programme for career guidance and a transnational network between the adult education institutions will be created.

Quality assurance and evaluation methods and practices have been established to some extend in education of all levels and in vocational training. Especially in schools and universities, there exist common acceptable European quality criteria, indicators and evaluation methodologies. In adult education, however, due to the diversity of the institutes that deliver training, quality assurance and evaluation techniques are missing or they do not guarantee the expected result. The present project aims to develop, test and deliver a training course, addressed to managers, administrative staff and trainers of adult training institutes in the subject of Quality Assurance and Evaluation in Adult Education in institute level and in project level. The main activities of the project are: - the development of the training course (curriculum and materials); - training of trainers; - pilot tests of the course and delivery of the courses in two occasions. The expected outcome of the project is a pan-European training course on quality assurance and evaluation in adult education.

New EU Member State nationals taking part in educational measures need to be helped to acquire and consolidate their own European awareness and identity. It is also necessary to promote knowledge and understanding of the new EU Member States’ cultural identities in the long-established Member States. These requirements arise mainly for institutions which carry out educational work with disadvantaged groups, such as unskilled and unemployed young people and workers, migrants, etc. FREIRE will develop a training course to promote European awareness for educationally challenged persons using and adapting the pedagogical approach of Paulo Freire. The project will develop a training course that will give adult education experts a further training opportunity to integrate the European dimension in educational measures on a permanent and cross-disciplinary basis thereby making a lasting contribution to building up and promoting European awareness and identity. The approach is based on the pedagogical principles of the Brazilian educationalist Paulo Freire. The basic assumption is that education is a process of emancipation in which the life situation of the learner is the point of departure. This ensures, inter alia, that the learner’s needs are integrated right from the start. The curriculum will refer to the current situation on the basis of the language of the group and key themes from the participants’ backgrounds. There are three main phases in the learning process: self-perception, self-examination and self-confident action. In this process, learners become teachers and vice versa (dialogical learning). The project will design a five-day training course entitled “Promoting European awareness in the education of disadvantaged persons — participant-orientated learning in the context of the Freire teaching method”. The piloted and fully evaluated course will be delivered at least twice at European level as a Grundtvig 3 measure.

This enlargement needs to bring with it a proactive involvement of European citizens to efficiently understand and employ the concepts involved in Sustainable Development (SD). Since the World Summits in Rio de Janeiro (1992) and Johannesburg (2002), sustainable development (SD) has become an internationally recognised principle and goal. As a matter of fact, this is one of the Annual Priorities set out in the SOCRATES call for 2004/5. This is also reflected in the Lisbon European Council strategic goal. European citizens therefore need to be urgently trained in less theoretical and more practical ways if they are to be realistically motivated in being core drivers for achieving SD by 2010. This situation indicates the urgent need of providing adequate training to European adults (e.g. females upbringing their children) that for some reason are not aware, or have not had the opportunity of learning on the concept SD. To achieve this goal, there is a need first to train adult trainers about the concept of SD this is necessary because SD is a complex subject: there are many aspects, levels, problems and questions that, if inadequately understood, concrete steps towards achieving it could be blocked. The aim of this project is precisely to create a Grundtvig 1 course on Sustainable Development for adult trainers.

The aim of the course is to provide teachers/trainers in adult education with the skills and tools necessary when working in an increasingly multicultural environment throughout Europe. The project will set up a team of tutors who will pool together expertise from the different partners and their networks and devise the contents, teaching approach and evaluation methodology to be used within the course. The package thus created will be tested in two of the participating organisations and improved according to the feedback received. Starting from the latter part of the second year, the course will be included in the Comenius/Grundtvig Catalogue and offered to a wide European audience. Participants in the Grundtvig 3 Courses will thus acquire first-hand knowledge about the skills and tools needed when teaching/training in a multicultural environment. The course will not be a traditional intercultural training session, but will focus on ways in which teachers/trainers should be themselves aware and, at the same time, raise awareness about cultural diversity within the frames of their everyday work in the classroom. By using a common view on these skills and competencies - partly drawn from work on previous European and regional (Baltic) cooperation projects - and by stressing similarities rather than differences, the course will also strengthen the idea of European identity and the sense of belonging to a shared European community.

The expected impact of the Project will be an increase in citizens who can ''read'' the various grammars of form, interpret the structure and meaning of images, decode and deconstruct them and thus become less susceptible to their (often surreptitious) influence. In the course of the training session participants will move from an emotional response to an analytical exploration of image content. Furthermore, it should help them realise how our way of seeing and looking is structured by the visual conventions of our own time as well as by variables such as gender, age or socio-cultural background and education. The expected outputs comprise a Handbook or user-guide to ''The Learning Eye'', the widely-acclaimed product of a previous Grundtvig project, Web-based teaching packs and background materials as well as guidelines about cultural differences in learning and teaching approaches and styles. All our activities such as course development, organisation and delivery as well as the production, testing and (Web)publication of training materials will take into account the cultural diversity of the users.

Past pilot projects have dealt with these issues and have produced added value which often stays either within the persons and institutions involved in the project or within particular sectors or regions. There is a need to draw together the results of these projects working in the fields of museums, libraries and cultural centres, in order to develop more effective links and synergies between projects and networks. The main goal is to transfer and disseminate this knowledge and know-how to those professionally concerned, who may act as multipliers. By adding to their intrinsic value, sustainability of partnerships and results will be supported. The project will focus on the following particular aspects: - Access and widening participation strategies. - Innovative methodologies and strategies for the dissemination of outcomes. - Results and elements to be included in the continuing professional development CPD of the staff, of the involved to the project institutions. Final outcomes from Socrates phase 1 and 2 (1995-2005) of adult education projects working in partnership with cultural & educational organizations such as: Museums, Galleries, Libraries etc. (from Adult Education/phase 1, Grundtvig 1, 4/phase 2) will be examined. A pool of knowledge will be created through the collection of final outcomes of successful end products from the two generations of programs, according to criteria negotiated among partners. Outcomes: - a manual (''tool-kit'') of best practice on project-results and on general criteria for generally disseminating outputs of project-types will be elaborated. This ''tool-kit'' will be available in DVD or CD-ROM formats in English, with summaries in German, Greek, Swedish, Hungarian and French. It will available through internet (links will be made to the ISOC data bank of SOCRATES projects, www.isoc.siu.no), and the results will be presented for culture-experts in Italy and for education-experts at one of the two annual conferences of EAEA, in order to promote the dissemination to other countries outside the partnership of the project; - an ''art-gallery''; - an exhibition with visual results from the examined projects.

The project will: - develop a Learning Needs Analysis Audit to research the needs for Learning City/Region awareness learning in all parts of Local and Regional Authorities to assist their development as Lifelong Learning Cities, Towns and Regions; - research existing learning materials available to satisfy those needs from previous Socrates and other projects; - modify these for delivery in dissemination seminar/workshops in the partners' local and regional authorities based on the results of the Needs Audits; - develop and deliver new learning materials where satisfactory ones do not exist; - disseminate and market all these tools and materials to known city and regional networks through: 1) the publicity and programme for two dissemination conferences; 2) a website specially designed for the purpose; and 3) papers and articles in network magazines, journals and other publicity media. Each partner will work closely with local and regional authorities to develop a different aspect of the subject, so that the community, the politics, the city and region as a learning organisation, the stakeholders, social inclusion and general learning city characteristics are covered by the whole project. The outputs to be disseminated are therefore the Learning Needs Analysis Audit, the website, the seminars and workshops, and the new and modified learning materials. These will be the main output of the project and will also be disseminated via European conferences. Target audiences are managers, professionals and other employees in local and regional authorities and stakeholder organisations that offer formal and informal learning provision.

Based on its results and experiences in the first period from 2002 to 2005, the Network Intercultural Learning in Europe (NILE), bringing together partners from AT, BE, BG, CY, DE, ES, FI, FR, GR, HU, IT, LT, LV, NL, PL, RO, SK, SI, TR and the UK, seeks to support the different efforts and disseminate experiences of good practice in adult education across Europe designed for preparing citizens with diverse backgrounds in religion, language, culture and ethnic roots in learning to live together in respect for their otherness. Based on the needs of the target groups the new work programme of NILE addresses 4 key areas. This will enable the partnership to explore and analyse the possibilities of advancing the mainstreaming process of intercultural learning in adult education on a larger scale and on the structural level in all EU member countries. The focus and the main objective of NILE is: - to contribute to knowledge sharing, dissemination and transfer of good practice in intercultural learning generated on national and local level in a European dimension; - to include views of migrant, ethnic and religious minority communities in all issues of intercultural learning; - to identify present, emergent and future needs where European cooperation on the issue of intercultural learning can be beneficial to learners in non-formal adult education. NILE 2 will follow a principle of thematic clustering focussing on the 4 identified key areas: - assessing ways of adapting and transferring best practice in intercultural learning from one context to another; - exploring teaching and learning methods, which relate to intercultural learning when working with diverse minority/migrant groups; - promoting ways for educational institutions to achieve intercultural competence; - strengthening the cooperation between adult education and the media in order to promote intercultural learning. The main target groups of the Network are: - migrant, ethnic minorities, immigrant (self) organizations and teachers, trainers, students, volunteers and professionals working with these groups; - key persons to advance the mainstreaming of intercultural learning such as policy makers of adult education laws (public authorities on national and local level) and executive managers of adult education and academic institutions; - media professionals and non-formal media institutions (free radios, television, ethnic media). To achieve its main objective, activities will take place on a local, national and transnational level. NILE 2 will organize 5 meetings of thematic groups open to other Grundtvig actors; 2 European Conferences; a multilingual interactive website; 5 newsletters (in English); 1000 copies of a DVD on good practice in all languages of the partnership; and 500 copies each of a newspaper (all languages of the partnership) with recommendations for working with the media to promote intercultural learning.

By this, a European platform is to be set up aiming at establishing and improving the information stream between different actors of AE/LLL throughout Europe. This platform may give rise to a sort of European AE/LLL-community beyond single networks or organisations. Information on all relevant aspects of AE/LLL in Europe shall be exchanged within and by InfoNet: from simple information on conferences to scientific findings, from policy developments to best-practise examples etc. In particular, InfoNet wants to be a partner for disseminating results of other European networks and projects. In conferences and workshops, editors of AE/LLL-journals get in contact with their colleagues from other countries and are trained to become aware of the European dimensions of AE/LLL. In the 1st year, five working groups develop criteria for handling the information flow and technical aspects like translation. From the 2nd year on, a regular information service is implemented which works similarly to a news agency. The network is administrated by a coordination office which is helped by an information bureau in Brussels.

Constitué aujourd'hui, dans une visée partagée de changement social, autour de 22 partenaires de 10 pays européens, il contribue à l'amélioration de la qualité des interventions par l'élaboration d'une méthodologie qui prend en compte l'expertise des publics fragilisés dans l'élaboration de l'offre de formation. Il valorise les contenus de formation et d'éducation qui instaurent une relation de confiance et de coopération, une écoute empathique, un soutien des potentialités des personnes accueillies, un accompagnement vers l'autonomie sociale et l'exercice de la citoyenneté. Ce projet de prolongement du réseau concerne d'ores et déjà 30 partenaires, officiels et associés, de 15 pays, qui se reconnaissent dans les mêmes valeurs, et s'engagent à échanger leurs expertises, confronter les expérimentations des outils créés pour développer le socle méthodologique précédemment élaboré. L'extension du réseau doit permettre aux organisations d'action sociale et éducative de former un pôle-ressources, référence en matière de pratiques de formation novatrices, et renforçant la coopération européenne entre l'ensemble des acteurs. La double structuration en réseaux locaux, déclinaisons nationales du réseau européen, et en groupes thématiques doit faciliter l'interaction entre les acteurs par les regards croisés sur les clefs de réussite, les pratiques novatrices des différents pays, pour aboutir à leur capitalisation, qui a pour but d'organiser les connaissances acquises par la pratique pour les rendre transmissibles.

The project will create and sustain the EMMA Portal, which will be the project's main means of dissemination and a tool for clustering and knowledge dissemination open to all European experts and educators involved in this field. The project will aim at gathering information and establishing contact with all relevant European projects, and will organize two annual Clustering Conferences, as well as a series of Study Visits for the partnership, which will double as Grundtvig 3 courses open to all interested experts and practitioners. The main expected impact will be in terms of benchmarking of national strategies and approaches, especially in terms of awareness raising. The primary target group consists of trainers and advisors who meet adults with numeracy problems. The secondary target group are the adults themselves. Special focus areas: trainers at the work-place, trainers in immigrant education, counsellor services and policy makers.

Il est fondamental de permettre à tous ceux qui le souhaitent d'accéder, près de chez eux, à une alphabétisation de qualité, qui tienne compte de leurs besoins et qui se base sur leur participation active. Par alphabétisation nous entendons l'acquisition des savoirs de base nécessaires pour développer une participation citoyenne active, et ce par des adultes n'ayant jamais été scolarisés ou par des adultes qui, bien qu'ayant été scolarisés parfois de longues années, ne savent ni lire, ni écrire, en le comprenant, un texte simple lié à leur vie quotidienne, et ce dans aucune langue. Ce projet porte sur une étude des pratiques et politiques d'alphabétisation et d'acquisition des savoirs de base et sur l'organisation d'un séminaire thématique qui permettra: - D'identifier, de diffuser et de valoriser les résultats, méthodologies et ''bonnes pratiques'' des projets d'alphabétisation soutenus par l'Europe et plus particulièrement par les programmes Socrates et Grundtvig. - D'entamer un travail de recherche et d'analyse portant sur la comparaison des pratiques et politiques d'alphabétisation des différents états membres. - De diffuser des pratiques et politiques d'alphabétisation les plus susceptibles de favoriser une participation citoyenne active. Il créera les conditions nécessaires pour fonder un réseau européen réunissant l'ensemble des acteurs travaillant dans le champ de l'alphabétisation, afin de développer l'analyse et la mutualisation des leurs pratiques, d'informer les autorités politiques européennes, nationales, régionales et locales et d'aider à leur prise de décision en matière d'alphabétisation et d'acquisition des savoirs de base.

More than on a transnational level, learners in border regions are confronted with problems such as different conditions for access to the respective education systems, different administrative structures or graduation certificates which cannot easily be compared. But also different languages and different cultural settings as well as historical developments play an important role. Providers of adult education who want to cooperate across borders have to deal with different legal regulations or programmes which are not sufficiently reconciled with each other. Furthermore, there is no European education programme that focuses on the promotion of cross-border education cooperations. That is the more surprising as especially border regions are the touchstone for the success of the European integration and often have the role of pioneers. Nevertheless, different models of cross-border education cooperations have been developed and implemented in European border regions, differing widely in quality and quantity. The sample of models reaches from common language courses of neighbouring adult education classes to professional education centres where different neighbouring states cooperates. The ''Cross Over'' consortium offers for the first time a European Thematic Seminar dealing with cross-border cooperation in adult education. 15 partner institutions from 9 European countries, representing 10 European border areas, shall organize a common seminar on cross-border cooperation and share their experiences with other interested target groups in different fields of education and in different European border regions. The seminar will take place in June 2006 in the Austrian-Hungarian-Slovakian border area.
