Consorzio Lavoro e Ambiente
The purpose of the partnership is to build a consortium of experts that will share their knowledge and expertise about informal adult learning in various EU countries. The experts will provide background information about their countries' policies and resources on informal learning. The emphasis will be on opportunities for informal learning in various subjects that are provided to the public (adults) through informal learning contexts such as long-distance courses, internet courses, environmental parks, natural history museums, science centers, galleries, nature trails and others. Teachers, museum staff, explainers, curators, parents, and researchers in different EU countries have different knowledge and experiences, so in order to achieve an impact on knowledge and understandings of informal learning and to bridge the gap between formal and informal learning opportunities for adults, a European rather than a national or local approach is needed. The target groups of the project are adults of any background with interest in informal learning, such as museum staff, science communicators, curators, teachers, artists, and the general public.
The aim of the project is to promote the higher level of the participation of the older people in the working process and to help them keep in employment. The project will establish a trans-national network to encourage participation of the older people in education with the special focus on their special needs, with the following specific objectives: to transfer knowledge, methods and good practices for senior citizen education; to transfer experiences about the learning needs of senior citizens and strategies on how these needs can be met; to exchange experiences in developing strategies and methods for teachers, trainers and other adult education staff who work with senior citizens; to identify effective models on how to make use of the potential of senior citizens by contributing to the learning of others; to raise awareness on the senior citizens in the workplace as a concept focusing on increasing the employment and position of this disadvantaged group in the labour market; to promote in companies and society positive context of diversity meaning workplace that respects and includes a work environment that maximizes the potential of all employees; to share knowledge and experiences at a regional level and promote the development of new approaches in the field of training of older people.
Promoting and supporting entrepreneurship and SMEs is a political priority in all European member states. However, the training and support European entrepreneurs usually get is mainly focused on initial aid during their first steps into entrepreneurship. Despite the initial support founders of new businesses get at the beginning, many of them do not survive their third year of business operations. This is due to the fact that no structured and holistic support is provided to still young but already established SMEs whose businesses develop successfully and would have the potential of growth, but whose owners are not sufficiently capable of managing this sudden growth and the problems and challenges it brings about. This is especially the case for enterprises in the crafts as well as in the services sector.
The project will develop a quality assurance system for lifelong learning providers and establish the results as a set of applicable choices for providers seeking to improve the quality of their provision and promote themselves as an accredited provider. The project will collect quality directed initiatives in VET in Europe and use the results to disseminate a commonly recognised quality mark for lifelong learning providers. Furthermore it aims to develop a commercially sustainable procedure for managing and awarding the quality mark and develop a cross sectoral network of service providers.
