Project Summary

“SEAM: Social Education of Adults through Mobility” is a 2-year strategic partnership at international level funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Commision, that aims to join together organisations from Italy, Bulgaria, Latvia, Portugal, Slovenia, Czech Republic and Spain in order to work together and exchange good practices related to social inclusion of adults and the acquisition of new cultural and/or language skills through formal and non formal education methodologies. During the project implementation, partner organisations from the mentioned countries will run together different activities such as:

– Coordination meetings on the project partner countries in order to get to know the best practices and local projects related with adults intercultural and/or social education

– Design, creation, test and publication of different manuals for organisations managing local projects for adults and toolkits for sending and hosting adults from other countries through cooperation or volunteering projects

– International learning activities such as trainings for adult educators

– Transnational activities for adult learners to promote their mobility as a learning tool

– Local activities for learners and trainers working on the adult field focused on testing new learning materials and developing innovative ones

– Visibility events on each partner country to disseminate the project results

Thanks to these activities and a regular cooperation between adults educators and users over 50 years old during all these activities, the project intends to promote the cooperation between European organisations on the field of non formal and formal adult education, that could make possible the creation of a network of partners for the development of mobility projects for adults, that could also help to promote the entrepreneurship and initiative of adults and involve them on peer education projects. All of this will not only benefit these adults, but also all the staff in connection with them that will have the opportunity of improving their professionals skills and provide higher quality support services to the regular users of their organisations.
