#AduEdu

Adult education as a promoter of democratization and sustainable development of European societies

Austria

With the mobilities in adult education foreseen in this project, the association is reacting to the need to further train its own staff and initiatives in order to meet the new challenges that have been experienced, especially after the pandemic.

In order to achieve this, it is strongly believed that it is very useful for the people involved in the organisation to participate in European exchanges in the framework of cooperation and joint activities/projects in collaboration with other European educational institutions.

Guided by the framework of the European development plan, the association wishes to address the following topics to a greater extent in collaboration with international partners:

Key democratic competences
Environmental protection and climate change for adult education
Integration and intercultural dialogue

This can have a positive impact on participants, organisations and the local community as it is promoted:

fostering the capacity for dialogue with people of different religions and world views,
concrete commitment to an attitude of tolerance and understanding,
better mutual understanding at both national and international level and, in particular, international exchanges,
better political, economic-ethical and ecological understanding, as well as concrete initiatives and commitments in this field, in particular scientific debates on these issues.

Target group: adults, volunteers and staff.

Beneficiaries: Local Community, organizations, policy makers.

TIGERS

New tools to give voice and empower young woman

Germany | Austria | Slovenia | Italy | Bosnia

Tigers is a project about women empowerment. Through the training and capacity building of youth workers, the aim is to use the experience of the different partners in Europe to create their own methodology: "tigers", to be implemented locally and to be replicated in any context. This methodology, which is mainly based on self-narration as a tool for empowerment, has been studied by experts and professionals in the fields of social work, psychology and youth work.

For this, the use of art and creativity is a transversal instrument. Thus, workshops on body mapping, collage, photography, podcasting and deconstruction of stereotypes have been tested so far in the trainings of the project.

Target group: Youth workers who are working or want to start working on the topic of youth empowerment, especially with teenagers and women.

Beneficiaries: Women, especially adolescent girls between 18 and 25 years old.

Results: Training guide for Youth Workers, Toolkit for implementing the Tigers methodology, E-learning Platform, Interactive contents for the e-learning platform.
