Project Summary

The objective of the MOBILITY+ project is to build tools that enable adults’ education workers to raise awareness and support their beneficiaries in taking part in mobility projects. It is also to adapt the tools to be used by adult education structures not only throughout the partners’ countries but also throughout Europe. This project aims to design innovative and adaptable training programmes and resources for adults’ education workers and their beneficiaries. Thus, they will have the possibilty to enrich their participant’s professional path by helping them acquiring an experience abroad and developing competences that will be complementary to their educational process.

The MOBILITY+ project partners are located in territories on which unemployment has an impact and where opportunities such as European mobility programs are less present. People who are far from employment must be remobilized and accompanied in basic knowledge and interpersonal competences. These prerequisites need the pursuit of actions adapted to individual situations.

The target groups will mainly be workers of the adults’ education field, future participants to mobility projects and also their sending organisations. Even if some of the beneficiaries of such non-formal adults’ education projects are more autonomous than others, it seems very important to accompany them all deeply before, during and after their return from abroad to ensure that they all get the most out of their mobility experience. The MOBILITY+ project will directly involve 40 workers of the adults’ education sector and 50 participants to mobility projects, including at least 20 with fewer opportunities.

The partners of the project will therefore undertake the realization of 4 intellectual productions: an “Information and Orientation Training” to improve the adults’ education workers’ knowledge of programs and projects of mobility. It will be the opportunity to promote a more adapted and personalized support and guidance of future mobility participants; a “Competences Manual” for professionals in the adult education field that can help them understand and explain the key competences to their beneficiaries. The output will be fully adapted to the adults ‘education sector; a “Path Definition” developed in the form of a portfolio and a pedagogical video to help adult education workers establish a link between needs and expectations of their beneficiaries with the aim of obtaining a reinforcement of competences and finally a “Valorisation Workshop” and its guide to monitor the follow up of participants upon return of mobility projects and reinforce the benefits of international mobility for workers in adults’ education field.
All four outputs will be user-friendly, consultable, downloadable and available in 4 languages (English, French, German and Estonian).

The impact of our project will be on the number of adult education workers involved, trained and empowered to support future mobility participants. It will also be on the future mobility participants that will receive a personalised support in order to be well oriented and prepared to benefit from this mobility experience in terms of competences, professional and personal experience. Also, by maximizing the follow up of participants by adult education workers and the capacities of the people with fewer opportunities while undertaking a mobility experience, the desired long-term impact is for them to have more opportunities to access employment and to be socially integrated after their return. Finally, the impact will be on the degree of added-value that the development of strong active partnerships between sending organisations and their network of adult education workers will bring to the partner organisations. This will strengthen their cooperation and help in the good orientation and support of the beneficiaries of the adult education sector. education.
