Project Summary

The overarching objective of ‘Learning Inclusion in a Digital Age. To Belong and Find a Voice in a Changing Europe’ is to develop country specific and pan-European cultures of learning inclusion and active citizenship in digitally joined-up educational eco-systems incorporating education policy and society (Level 1), the education sector and its institutions (Level 2) vulnerable adult minorities and educators, professionals and learners (Level 3).

A range of innovative cultures of learning inclusion utilising distant, online and blended resources are created for the growing number of vulnerable adult minorities in Europe, particularly migrants and refugees. This group face health, employment, gender, cultural and educational challenges on arrival and even as second or third generations grow up in Europe. This is compounded by lack of access to the skills and competencies required to become socially included. All European societies face the risk that vulnerable adult minorities will remain spectators in society without the lifelong capacity to be active citizens capable of clearly expressing their needs, identities and sense of belonging.

In LIDA, vulnerable adult minorities understood as refugees and migrants, and their teachers and associated professionals engage with these issues and learn how to create cultures of inclusion and a particular kind of voice expressing belonging and active citizenship supported by digital learning resources, such as digital narratives.
The LIDA project outputs and resources are: policy and scientific publications, social media, digital stories, a repository of distant, online and blended resources, digital handbooks and reports.

They are shared on an open assess, multilingual LIDA project website maintained after the project. Relationships built with associated partners, including European Association for the Education of Adults, UNESCO’s network of Learning Cities and Smart Cities Associations in European countries ensure the scalability, impact, sustainability and future dissemination of the project.
