Project Summary

Our project reached low skilled adult learners from disadvantaged groups and their trainers in Spain, Italy and Belgium have addressed topics from the European Charter of Human Rights and translated them in personal digital stories.
The main objective of the making of the digital stories has been the advocacy about human rights and the dimension of practical issues of these rights for the European citizen-storyteller. However we must conclude that our target was clear for the teacher/ trainer, it was less conclusive for the adult learners.
With this project we developed a method to create civic engagement and generate awareness about European citizenship for low-skilled adult learners as a pathway to increase core skills for employability, with a particular focus on digital skills and soft skills like computational thinking, mindset ability.
The methodology developed by this project also addresses adult education practitioners in helping them to start up similar processes in their learners groups enhancing global citizenship amongst low skilled and disadvantaged people.
At the end of the project, we have around 50 digital stories illustrating some articles of the human rights charter made by the adult learners .
All those stories can be used all over Europe for educational use in all kind of educational situations.
In the described methodology, we provide a photolanguage set made to incite the adult learners to think and tell about human rights and develop guidelines and background information for practitioners who want to integrate the methods in their daily practice.
