Circle of Competences for Community Work with adults project is focused on development of basic skills and key competences in adult learners , through a system of actions which start from assessing learning needs of partner organisations staff and learners, then improving Educators competences and trough them reach adult learners with fewer opportunities in the 4 countries of the partnership (Coordinator: Arci Catania, Italy; Hors Pistes  France;   UPI Zalek, Slovenia; APECV. Portugal).

 

Activities

2018: Taining of Trainers
20 Educators active in Adult Education with different professional profiles attended an international training course collecting and sharing good practices and tools to facilitate and recognise their learners achievements (E- portfolio) and to engage learners with fewer opportunities (Popular Education techniques). They  test and experience themselves those tools as well as share with colleagues from different countries.

The aftermovie of the CCCWA-project training is presented above and will give you the opportunity to get an impression of all the things the participants learned, experienced, laughed about and had difficulties with. This video also provides an image of the teambuilding activities, the energizers, the atmosphere and the place that the training took place in.

2019: Workshops 
As a second step, the same Educators  test and apply the gained methods in their own countries with a group of local learners with different difficulties in education and inclusion in society and job market ( adults with migrant background, asylum seekers, unemployed adults with unstable/poor educational paths ) trough workshops run at local level whose content and methods will be defined in details during the project. The workshops  engaged  adult learners at local level, motivate them to participate to further learning experiences and  make easier the recognition of their experience acquired trough non formal and informal learning.
