AIM
The purpose of the project is to enhance access to lifelong learning for adults and increase their participation. It is closely aligned with the mission of the Slovenian Institute for Adult Education: to foster a culture of lifelong learning and contribute to fair, accessible, and quality education for all adults in Slovenia.
The project primarily targets educators engaged in developmental and professional work with adults. The project outcomes will indirectly benefit education policymakers, social partners, and other stakeholders. Materials, programmes, approaches, and tools developed through the project will improve the work of professionals and educators, especially with vulnerable groups. Certain outcomes will also directly support these groups. All results will be publicly available and free of charge.
OBJECTIVES
The project aims to:
- Promote literacy and basic skills to achieve greater social equity,
- Advance quality lifelong learning through new programmes and approaches,
- Strengthen the competencies and qualifications of adult educators,
- Enhance counselling services by developing new tools and materials,
- Support the green transition.
Planned activities are divided into four areas:
- Development of Literacy and Basic Skills for Adults – Towards Greater Social Equity,
- Assessment and Enhancement of Quality with a Focus on Digitalisation,
- Strengthening Guidance in Adult Education,
- Development of Green Competencies and Adaptation to the Green Transition.
