NEVER TOO LATE
FOR EUROPEAN SYNERGY
ABOUT THE N2L84ES GRUNDTVIG PROJECT
About our project / Summary:
Most adults are not aware of Life Long Learning (LLL). Our target audience is the large number of adults who have left school early or who have never had the opportunity to receive formal education (as in the case of many migrants, refugees, Travellers, marginalised people, and people with disabilities) and are "seniors or ageing population". Opportunities for Life Long Learning and especially for European Synergy should be facilitated. The core idea of the project is for adults to acquire the capacity for critical analysis thus improving their quality of life and their life styles. All resources available to the project partners will be considered throughout the project in order to facilitate learning for the target group (TG). This step will be in conjunction with teaching spoken English so that adults can improve their self confidence. Cultural sensitivity of the TG will ensure a greater connection to the national citizenship platform through a European (E) multi dimensional platform. Finalizing the project it is expected to exhibit all the project outcomes [such as N2L84ES Questionnaires, Online Poetic Presentation, Documentary Film (DF) (combining 4 different Short Audio-Video (SAV)s) created by the adults ) and a final show in Malta, in order to include the disadvantaged adults in LLL, or in another appropriate venue, such a a local community center, etc. This way the project's final outcome will portray an increase in European consciousness achieved through a unique E Synergy. As a result the number of the adults who will present our catch phrase "N2L84ES!" will be detected as one of the performance criteria of our project.
The aims of the project
In addition to the following specific objectives of the Grundtvig programme (to respond to the educational challenge of an ageing population in Europe and to help provide adults with pathways to improve their knowledge and competence)are the following concrete objectives (emphasizing the subjects/problem we intend to address):1)To develop a creative approach to learning that enhances quality of life for adult target group (TG)s, 2)To discover & develop the target groups' inherent natural abilities and interests through art, ICT & English language and to use these skills for enterprise and commerce, 3) to develop creative project products (such as (E-LWP),(MUG),(E-LWPQ)s,(OVAC),(IMPIGAT),(DF)(consisting of 11 different (SAV)s), 4) To build confidence & self-esteem in the TG, 5)To encourage the use of ICT for communication among all project participants in line with our goal of (ES) 6) To enable the TG to respond to challenges in society in an innovative & non-formal way,6)To combine the use of art, English &ICT to enable learning by doing & actively participating, 7)To enhance personal relationships by breaking the stereotypical barriers that differentiate TG from others, 8) To make the TG prove themselves that it is N2L8 for LLL&especially 4 ES by creating innovative project outcomes, 9) To teach adults analysing & synthesizing their life styles in order to enhance the standards of their life quality, 10) To learn how to learn, 11) To use all various types of facilities available inside the curriculum of the partners through out the project for the aim of increasing creativity, 12) To use the advantage of cooperation with volunteers (if possible).The objective of our project is to use a creative, pedagogical and didactic approach to learning which will incorporate the use of ICT with art, drama, music and language. Each partner is skilled in these areas to enable easy access and learning for the target group. Strengthening participants self-confidence and promoting their personal fulfilment will be gained by helping them to develop social, civic and cultural competencies. The development of social media tools will enable participating countries to effectively communicate with each other by uploading blogs, photos, work logs etc. This will enhance the learning experience as well as further fulfilling our goal of ES.This is further developed by each TG actively participating in all aspects of the project from brainstorming to presenting the final products.
