"CULTURE LAB - Innovative Training Programme of Cultural Educators is a project within the Erasmus+, Action 2 Strategic partnerships for adult education.The project was created in response to the diagnosed need and real problem identified by the partnership organizations - the lack of or insufficiently developed competences of educators in the field of cultural education and the use of modern technology. In order to solve this problem, an international team of experts was established who specialize in methodology, cultural events, media, production of audiovisual content, as well as representatives of cultural institutions and intercultural communication trainers. The experts have developed an innovative programme for educators working with adults in the field of cultural education. The project implemented an innovative method of ""Culture Lab"" combining the concept of work in the media lab system and intercultural coaching (using modern technologies and communication tools to identify and understand cultural differences).The main objective of the project was to implement and test the ""Culture Lab"" programme, which is aimed at raising competences of cultural educators working with adults. Other project objectives include developing international cooperation, promoting the idea of partnership, expanding knowledge in the field of cultural education and adult education, and exchanging experiences and good practices of partners through working in an international team.The project was implemented in a strategic partnership of organizations from 3 countries. The project leader was the association Lublin Regional Tourist Organization (LROT) based in Lublin, Poland. The main tasks of LROT include creating a positive image of the region, cultural education, raising qualifications and cultural competences in the tourist industry, strengthening the tourist and cultural information system in the Lublin Region and promoting the region in the country and abroad.The project partner from Germany was Burgerhaus Bennohaus Arbeitskreis Ostviertel e.V. (AKO) with headquarters in Münster. The main activities of the organization concern areas such as project management, quality management, media education, cultural education, audio-visual production, local community development and international cooperation.The project partner from Spain was the Asociacion Iniciativa Internacional Joven (AIIJ) operating in Malaga, whose mission is to work for social development, education and improving the quality of life of citizens. The activities of AIIJ are focused on understanding cultural differences, cultural education and developing international dialogue, tolerance and social integration.The results of the project include the e-book entitled ""CULTURE LAB - Innovative Training Program of Cultural Educators"" and a multimedia e-learning course available free of charge on the Moodle platform at www.culture-lab.pl in 4 language versions (English, German, Polish, Spanish). The e-book contains theoretical foundations of cultural education, an outline of adult education methodology, an overview of effective methods and examples of their application in practice, diagnosis of the impact of innovation and new technologies on education, culture and social communication, and ready-made proposals for educators: scenarios of workshops using modern technology, examples of exercises and activities improving cultural competences that can be used in work with adults, including people with low qualifications. The multimedia e-learning course is consistent with the subject of the e-book, being a development and visual illustration of the content of the book. The course includes multimedia workshop scenarios, educational films, instructional videos, podcasts, interactive exercises, quizzes, descriptions of good practices and a forum for users.As part of dissemination, 3 multiplier events (conferences) were organized in Lublin, Munster and Malaga for a total of 179 participants; the programme was made available on the project website www.culture-lab.pl, partner websites and free websites in the EU; information about the ""Culture Lab"" was sent to 312 institutions working with adults in 3 partner countries. The output of the project was promoted and disseminated during the activities organized by the partners (conferences, cultural events, fairs, trainings, and information meetings with educators and volunteers).The project developed the potential of partner organizations, contributed to the exchange of good practices, knowledge and experience related to work in the international environment, and the project results broadened the educational offer of the partners. Thanks to the implementation of the project, the quality and level of educational offer addressed to adults in the field of cultural competences and ICT has improved, and educators received a ready programme and tools to improve their own qualifications and to use at work with others."
