Project Summary

“Level Up!” is a project focused on analyzing good practices related to non-formal education of adults in 3 European countries: Poland, Latvia and Spain. The analysis is to concern the development of methods of systematic improvement of trainers (trainers) for adults (increasing the quality, extension of the offer) and adaptation of the training content to participants with low professional skills and with specific needs. The analysis of training systems targeted at adults in terms of non-formal education is to take place in particular to a group of people from the NEET group (not learning, not working, not involved in raising their competences and qualifications). The following will be analyzed: ways of reaching individual groups, diversification of training methods, preparation and support of trainers, evaluation in the educational process and long-term effects of training.
The project will start with the preparation of documentation and a thorough analysis of the subject of the study. An analysis process and results that researchers want to achieve through conducting it will be prepared. Next, the team will focus on preparing analysis among the community using previously selected institutions. The methods will be interviews, questionnaires, in-depth interviews with selected groups. The methods used will be identical in all countries. Then the material will be analyzed and diagnosed. The presented problems will be divided according to their respective categories. Then consultations will be conducted with the community of these places and focus groups with selected experts in the field corresponding to the study. The result of this phase should be recommendations of changes in given places with their impact.
The project lasts 24 months during which 7 international meetings will be held, including 3 on the exchange of good practices. Each meeting will gather 12 participants from partner countries. The result of the project will be the publication of good coaching practices based on the partners’ own experience. The long-term sustainability of the project will be ensured through a comprehensive database of key stakeholder contacts. This will enable the project to move to the next development phase, which will be a continuation of the practical use of collected good practices by trainers, teachers, social workers etc. The website and other internet networks will continue to allow communication of all future opportunities, work and research as well as participation in future events.
Our project in numbers:
– min. 12 experts involved in the work on the project in our 3 organisations.
– 12 learners involved in the project directly and around 30 indirectly interested thanks to best practice sharing
– 12 completed evaluation questionnaires at each stage of the project
– 5 other institutions willing to cooperate with project partners
– 10 new trainers willing to use the program and methods we will create in their future work (min. 2 at the level of a partner organization) – using new curricula for trainers.
