Project Summary

Recently (2016), the International Labor Organization (ILO) reported that the majority of new work opportunities in the last decade had been generated in the informal and digitally-based economy.
Accordingly, the ASL project supports the setting up of, and access to, upskilling pathways through an advanced educational initiative based on:
– An online collaborative environment designed to motivate adult people in learning tasks
– Structured learning activities following the Pattern-Based Learning approach
The ASL project will also extend the learning opportunities for individual low-skilled or low-qualified adults. We will develop innovative digital social education practices through the realization of an intelligent and proactive learning environment that analyze the learners’ activities.
The concrete aims of the project are:
1. To teach learners to acquire new skills and competences using learning innovative practices and digital technologies;
2. To develop a functioning collaborative learning environment to help them identify skills gaps and needs and to collaborate locally and independently for joint capacity-building.

The ASL project addresses the following primary needs:
• To provide new competences to adult learners using digital resources;
• To stimulate/motivate adults in acquiring competences that can improve their career and employability;
• To promote self-learning;
• To empower people growing their skills in using digital collaborative technologies;
• To integrate educational practices such as peer learning, online participatory learning, digital social learning, etc.
• To provide people with advice and guidance on how to learn using digital resources.

Adults who need to improve their competences to continue to work are the primary target group. This class, usually, corresponds to people 50-55 years old and includes people who are low-qualified and low-skilled.

The Consortium is formed of six partners from Turkey, Italy, Latvia, Poland, and Greece. They have great competences in adult learning, which are complementary, and are experts in European projects.
