Project Summary

In the EU, while almost three quarters of the population has at least an upper secondary qualification, basic literacy and numeracy skills cannot be taken for granted. Challenges persist for large parts of the adult population in most of the European countries. In 2017, around 61 million adults aged 25 to 64 had stopped their formal education before completing upper secondary education. Also, 43% of the EU population has an insufficient level of digital skills and 17% has none at all. The digital skills of the Romanian population are among the lowest in the EU, especially among the elderly. In 2017, only 29% of the Romanian population and 13% of 55-64 year-old had at least basic digital skills (compared to the EU average of 57% for total population and 41% for 55-64 year-old people).
The OECD Survey of Adult Skills (PIAAC) also shows us that around 20% of the adult population in the participating countries struggles with basic skills like literacy and numeracy. Participation of adults to education and training in EU has slightly increased in the last years reaching 11.2% for 25-64 year-old population in 2019. Romania registers a huge gap in this indicator (1.2% in 2019), with the lowest value in the EU. While Austria is among countries with participation level above European average, all the other countries participating to this project display levels much lower than European average.
Moreover, in 2017 more than one third (35.4%) of 25-54 year-old migrants born outside the EU had completed at most lower secondary education and upskilling their language and other skills will be necessary to ensure their smooth integration and to tap their potential.
The project AIMS to support the acquiring of key competences, including basic skills for all through the development and transfer of innovative learning methods for low-skilled adults, including but not limited to vulnerable groups.
The main OBJECTIVES of the project are: strengthening key skills, including life skills, through introducing innovative methods useful for teachers and trainers; supporting the development and uptake of innovative approaches in learning methodologies and digital technologies for teaching and learning; improving the access to training for low skilled adults, with focus on vulnerable groups by increasing quality, supply and accessibility of learning opportunities tailored to their learning needs; providing opportunities for professional development of teachers/trainers through the development of effective digital, open and innovative methods supporting the work with low skilled adults.
The Team2Share project’s TARGET GROUP consists of: trainers, teachers, mentors who work with low-skill adults and low-skilled adults with a focus on youth, women, low-skilled seniors.
Team2Share project will include 120 low skilled adults, 50 teachers/trainers/mentors, 15 experts
The project will develop during 2 years of implementation 3 INTELLECTUAL OUTPUTS:
– Training programme for trainers/teachers/mentors working with low skilled adults, consisting of a training curriculum and content that will be inserted in an ICT state of the art tool “Android application – App1” which will be based on an innovative methodology “team-oriented learning in interactive working groups” that was developed based on the principle “reproduction of the learning material in its own words deepens the acquired knowledge”. App1tool will answer to the need of teacher/trainers/mentors to have and use various other tools, methods, methodologies suitable for low skilled adults that have (maybe quite serious) problems to learn or train in the classic/formal system.
– Training programme for low skilled adults aiming their Team2Share, consisting of a training curriculum and content developed and included in second app, namely “Android application – Team2Share App2”. It will answer to need of low skilled adults for more suitable learning/training methods that help them to learn and fix their knowledge more easily and thoroughly, things that are difficult for them to achieve in the classical/conventional learning and training systems. The application will include speaking/story telling Avatars presentations of learning/course contents as well as practical hints for those users; that is an innovative method appropriate not only for little children but also for adults and especially for low skilled adults.
– Guidelines for Formative Monitoring and Assessment of learning outcomes, consisting in a collection of methods for formative performance monitoring, including numerous methods of performance assessment in various formats, aiming to increase performance motivation through targeted and helpful feedback.
Team2Share products will be disseminated by 8 MULTIPLAYER EVENTS.
The direct IMPACT will consist in professional development of teachers/trainers for more efficient work with low skilled adults; learning/training and fixing knowledge more easy and thoroughly by low skilled adults
