"The main theme of the project is set out from the title of the project: family literacy. The choice of theme was made as a result of reality observed: the decisive influence that literacy skills have on children academic success and their social integration. Two factors contribute greatly to overcoming the threats of social exclusion and poverty: the role and attitude of the family in creating a literary environment conducive to learning, and early education. The aim of the project was to sustain families in literacy skills by supporting reading in order to increase the access of children from disadvantaged backgrounds, to quality education.The five partners organizations of the project were selected for their experiences and expertise in literacy and educational programs with children and adults and participation together in other European projects. Learn&Vision Association was the coordinator of the project.The proposed objectives ensured consistency and quality in achievement. Thus, based on a comparative analysis, good literacy practices have been identified in the partner countries (O1). Professional competencies have been defined for a new occupational profile, ""Facilitator of family literacy"" (O2). The training course for facilitators (curriculum, methodology, learning materials) (O3) has been developed. The facilitators have designed literacy programs piloted in families. The analysis of the piloting efficiency of the family literacy training program, by various methods, has supplemented the research component removed from the project application. All the objectives were accompanied by methodologies that contributed to a unity of vision, integrating cultural differences. The debates in the project meetings played an important role in achieving the objectives, in compliance with the quality standards. An important role in designing the literacy facilitator course in the family was LTT Activity, with a high scientific level, Portugal, February 2018.The achievement of the objectives was completed by the translation of the project results in the participating countries' languages and ensuring free access.The projects’ results were possible because all partners had experience in European projects and expertise on the issue of family literacy, teamwork skills, cooperation and experiences from different cultural contexts.The objectives were finalized by the results of the project:1. The Comparative analysis of good literacy practices in the family in Bulgaria, Macedonia, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia(IO1) is a report based on a Research Methodology that proposes the collection of data for comparative analysis using a questionnaire on the literacy programs of the participating countries and identifying six good literacy practices in the family, one for each country, two for Romania.2. Occupational profile of Family Literacy Facilitator(IO2). This intellectual product was based on a comparative analysis of good practice as a prerequisite for design the ocupational profile. A condition assumed by the project, also achieved, was the harmonization of the profile with the Eurpean Qualifications Framework to increase the chances of validation on the labor market.3. Family Literacy Facilitators Training Program(IO3)The curriculum is based on the FLF occupational profile (IO2). The following 6 key Competence Areas include the competencies of FLF: Professional Competences, Pedagogy and Andragogy Competences, Facilitation Competencies, Interpersonal and Social Relations Competences, Organizational Competences, Personal Growth Competencies.111 people from the 5 countries participated in the training course for family literacy facilitators(vs 55 planned). They delivered pilot programs to 608 children and adults, many of whom were from disadvantage families. Through the activities carried out on the project, face-to-face or on-line 3102 people were involved. Project visibility was achieved through multiplayer events (8 vs. 6 planned), attended by 377 stakeholders vs 240 anticipated: educators, trainers, librarians, social assistances, local authorities.Another impact has been achieved through media and social media appearances (e.g. 6 press releases, 10 articles) more than we anticipated.The impact of our project at the level of each partner organizations means an increased capacity to offer family literacy programmes, cooperation with other organizations in promoting family literacy and ensures national visibility on the issue of family literacy; The facilitators trained in the program won better family literacy facilitation skills, improved awareness of literacy-supportive home learning environments and interactive methods of learning.The novelty of the project is that it brings together the results in an effective package in different national contexts, which define the professional profile of the family literacy facilitator, skills and competencies achieved through curriculum."
