Project Summary

Europe has become a global continent, a continent of different ethnicities, worldviews, religions, cultures and languages. Education is the central factor that needs to be disseminated in the coming years in order to make the chances of social participation and perspective accessible to all people. Our project aims at one aspect of basic education, literacy of adults with the first languages ​​Turkish and Arabic. In 2016, the German government proclaimed the “National Decade for Literacy” and provided additional funds for projects. In Germany in 2016, there were 7.5 million functional illiterates. This number has increased with the newly arrived refugees. The aim of this project is the transnational exchange in the European context in order to bundle experiences, methods and ideas for contrastive literacy, a process that is still in its infancy.
For the successful operationalization of the project in the course of the requested 24 months, all project countries are included in the annual work steps.
