KeyCo System

Description

"Adult education in Europe has very different profiles from country to country. We considereted appropriate to undertake a process of integration and harmonization of adult education paths. This is functional to increase the employment opportunities, mobility and economic growth of adults, especially migrants, favoring a more inclusive and cohesive society. In order to undertake this path, we chose for this project countries (Italy, Germany, Spain, England, Greece) and educational institutions for adults that share similar challenges, such as the high presence of migrants and refugees within their audience expressing the need to receive specific training and educational tools to be flexible and applicable to different cultural contexts. These partners have built together a shared approach, methodology and content aimed at enhancing social inclusion and territorial development through the development of people. The direct targets of the project were therefore teachers and educators involved in EDA migrants and migrant adults and refugees included in educational pathways. The learning needs to which it is intended to respond for each of these targets are: - strengthening of the eight key competences in learners and their certification; - development, in teachers and educators, of formal and non-formal theoretical and methodological skills and knowledge related to intercultural andragogy. The KeyCo System project aimed to achieve the following objectives: - strengthen the educational and empowerment paths of adult learners (migrant population); - promote the updating, cooperation and development of innovative practices between teachers and educators of institutions and organizations working in the field of adult education. Through the following activities: - the drafting of a paper on the role of multilingualism in the field of adult migrant education; - creation of didactic tools for the development of the eight key competences indicated by the EU Commission and designed in blended-learning; - an e-learning platform where to upload open-source/content tools, provide distance learning, and build a place for exchanging practices on intercultural andragogy. The teachers and educators took part in three joint short term training events, centered on: - Intercultural Andragogy; - Theories, methodologies and best practices in education for migrants; - Heroic Imagination Project: a path to resilience education. The project responds to the following horizontal priorities of the program: - social inclusion; - open and innovative practices, contextualised in the digital age. To the following sector specific priorities (adult education): - improve and expand the provision of personalized quality learning opportunities based on the needs of individual low-skilled and less qualified adult learners; - extend and refine the skills of educators. The participants in the project were: - 16-year-olds migrants, unaccompanied foreign minors and refugees from different geographical and cultural backgrounds; - teachers of courses for adults, used to construct, by necessity and vocation, the appropriate material for carrying out the lessons according to the type of users in the classroom; - educators of non-profit organizations working in EDA. The application of the following methodologies was transversal to the whole project: - formal education - non-formal education - informal education - intercultural education - e-learning - peer to peer.The activities carried out during the project have had and will continue to have a positive impact, on various targets in terms of:- knowledge and skills related to adult education in a European key;- ""intercultural andragogy""- new ideas and methodological tools. The project has also given European dimension to the work of the single organizations and institutions involved, creating and strengthening cooperation between partners, exploiting the potentials and contacts of the international organizations and networks to which they adhere, making the most of their contribution to projects aimed at adults. The creation of video lessons allows the learners to access the teaching materials through the platform and continue the program in FAD mode and, to those who participated in the creation of the output, to increase their self-esteem and sense of belonging to a community.In a long-term perspective, the project will allow the growth of knowledge and skills in the field of intercultural andragogy, enriched by new methodological ideas and teaching tools, improving the quality of individual interventions aimed at adult learners."
