Optimising Mobility for Adult Learners as Active Citizens (Optim-AL 2)
Main Info
TCA Description
This is primarily a contact seminar which aims at bringing together organisations, from across Europe, that are active in the field of adult education and interested in applying for a future KA1 mobility project. TCA participants should already be actively engaged with adults that are engaged (or looking to get engaged) in active citizenship activities, including volunteering and community or civic engagement activities.
The event will provide an opportunity to meet with adult learning practitioners from the host country whilst promoting future projects that can increase the participation of adult learners in Erasmus+ mobility (including among adults with fewer opportunities), especially those mobility projects that encourage social and civic engagement among adult learners and which promote the recognition of learning and experience acquired during a mobility period.
Participants will work together to explore innovative and alternative forms of democratic participation and be inspired to create new mobility partnerships and networks in which they will play a role as either a sending or receiving institution in a future KA121 or KA122 project.
Key words: mobility, adult learners, networking, newcomers, active citizenship, social and civic engagement, democratic participation, volunteering
Piority : Increase the quality of programme implementation
