Project Summary

Project DO YOUR BEST – JUST INVEST! (DYBJI) was a Strategic Partnership in Adult Education between Spain, Romania, Slovakia, Italy and Poland involved a two-year collaboration and involved work on two levels. On the one hand we expanded the field of work with a selected group of adults. The aim of that work was to increase their opportunities to participate in society and improve their family situation. This part of our project was mainly based on workshops in soft social skills is to adapt our group to the requirements of the labor market, to increase their life satisfaction and improve their language skills associated with operating the computer and on the opportunities for active leisure. Each partner organization created such a local group, consisting of between 10 and 15 people and it worked under the idea of our project.
On the other hand, our project involved work on an international level concerning the development of the competences of professionals involved in the project working group . Each partner organization created the 6-8 person group and it organized local activities.
Under the management of the project we are going to organize two international projects meetings: at the beginning of the project in Poland and in Spain at the end of the project.
Our aim was not only the above described work, but also the preparation of the Handbook Do your best – just invest! containing all methods and ideas used during the project ( by all partner organizations ). This Handbook has been promoted during the five conferences summarizing the project. Each organization was responsible for organizing such a conference in its country, and inviting to the conference representatives of local authorities, representatives of organizations / institutions / establishments engaged in activities for adults (particularly those with fewer opportunities ) .
