Project Summary

Educational innovation is the best way to enface 2 of the big European problems: unemployment and social exclusion.
Our partners have excellent COMPLEMENTARY CONTEXTS. The Spanish Univ. of Oviedo (coordinator) is located in areas with the highest levels of unemployment. Similarly happens in Italy where the CPIA partner (Provincial Center Adult Education) works. Conversely, the Finland partner has 7% unemployed people and Poland partner 3%. So they could be 2 educational references. In addition, an important ADMINISTRATION participates: the Consejería de Castilla y León (2.5 million inhabitants).
FEATURES OF THE 5 PARTNERS
-Successful state institutions, without seeking economic profit;
-Focused on adult education, public access and transparent to society;
-Wide experience in training for employment and management of cultural heritage;
-With high possibilities of impact and social dissemination, wide networks and links with institutions;
-Complementary European experience (Solid or new experience).
OBJECTIVES
The project tries to solve EUROPEAN NEEDS and PRIORITIES: to improve disadvantaged people, to achieve employment, collecting and implementing innovative educational actions. Moreover, the participants must know the European educational and cultural heritage (democratic system, law, history…) as a way for social integration.
GOALS
-To SHOW/KNOW best role models in educational planning and teaching vulnerable adults
-To implement these INNOVATIONS SYSTEMATICALLY in our centres and other institutions
Indirectly we will also get:
-To provide training for transversal competences to find a job
-To alleviate school failure
-To strengthen a European space that may fuel living together.
The PARTICIPANTS will be members of the educational staff and adult’s teachers with current or upcoming training activity. All of them have actions on the FINAL TARGET: the population at risk of poverty or social exclusion in each environment.
200 TEACHERS and educational management STAFF directly involved, and another 200 involved indirectly without mobility. In addition, these participants are people with experience or interest in outreach work with the media, and people who can implement the innovations that they will eventually know in each activity.
Also we have our STUDENTS that will later on annually receive direct training from the participants in the project: The UOv. has 500 adults students enrolled in the PUMUO programme, and 2,500 students of the Teaching Training College (future teachers in different levels). The CPIA-Padua has more than 2,500 adult students. CyL has 83,000 students and 25,000 CEPAs students respectively. The Polish partner has 1,800 professional students, and the Finnish partner has 2,600 students.
ACTIVITIES and results:
-To select innovative and effective role models about educational design and adult learning
-To create guidelines for the institutionalization of innovations and to systematize models of reference: sustainability at GOVERNMENTAL LEVEL
-5 Short-term joint training and 5 transnational meetings
-An INTERNATIONAL EVENT (International Conference)
-Knowing innovative models to promote the European educational heritage
-To disseminate:
>PUBLICATIONS (academic & informative)
>A PROFESSIONAL TV PROGRAMME
>Educational material
>A WEBSITE, social networks to disseminate innovative models
METHODOLOGY
I+D+I STRUCTURE: TO RESEARCH EDUCATIONAL MODELS + TO ANALYZE THEIR ESSENTIAL INNOVATIONS + TO SHOW-COLLECT TRANSFERABLE FEATURES + TO DISSEMINATE THESE STRENGTHS + TO IMPLEMENT EDUCATIONAL ACTIONS AND POLICIES IN EACH CONTEXT.
The project is focused on the formative action on teachers, focusing on the view of real successful experiences and debating with its protagonists. It will also be recorded on TV.
We will visit each space in order to know successful teaching models, REAL SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS, and to see: places and educational materials, methodologies, meetings with protagonists. The attendees will reproduce these innovations into their teaching practices. The visits allow to disseminate these experiences to society, and to incorporate these role models into educational policies, course design, etc. It allows describing the experiences to the scientific community too.
IMPACT AND BENEFITS
Our viewpoint for the impact to last long SEVERAL INNOVATIVE references must be implemented by the adults’ teachers. Annually this impact will be repeated on all their students (+100,000).
The educative actions are effective in the LONG RUN: The FINAL targets will be quantified according to the LEVEL OF EMPLOYMENT and SOCIAL INCLUSION achieved for the vulnerable people. Our interest is to collect, implement and maintain successful educational solutions, not only on the partner organisations, but also at the systemic level, generating multiplier effects at territorial and sector-specific level, attracting networks, obtaining support from public authorities, enhancing visibility of activities and outputs.
