Project Summary

The cultural and creative activities in our organizations play a key role in enhancing our adult students and participants innovation, creativity as well as enhancing the well-being and self-esteem of these adult students. This is especially true in the case of adult students with a disability or with limited skills from disadvantaged groups in society like migrants. The Covid 19 pandemic affected these activities drastically and, in some cases, brought them to a halt. Even our local networks partners belonging to the creative and cultural sector have suffered from the pandemic at a similar rate. The project will establish a partnership for creativity between our organisations that aim to:
• Stimulate European awareness among our adult students
• Enhance skills development and competencies that reinforce creativity and boost quality, innovation
• Enhance the students’ digital skills and competence in using online teaching tools and social networks
• Enhance the students’ communicative skills at the European and international levels

2.Writing competitions where students write 1 A4 page about a fairy-tale from their own culture. Language Teachers in each partner choose 5 different students texts based on their quality to be read in public if the prevailing Covid 19 allows it or in an online event at each partner school, Three fairy tales will be voted to be published in the project blog and translated to English and PJM and the other partner’s languages.
