PROJECT TITLE: Creative Pathways in Adult Education
Project description
The project is addressed to Adult Education, aiming at providing new learning opportunities for all adult learners. It
aims at creating good quality unconventional learning methodologies, capable of constantly renewing the basic
skills of E. U. citizens and enabling them to deal with the challenges and developing technologies of the changing
world. This partnership will bring together Learners, Educators and Adult Education Organisations from different
geographical areas of Europe in order to help them identify and try innovative learning methods and good practices.
They will exchange experience, methodology, and cultural aspects and learn from each other and cooperate in the
development of new teaching approaches in Adult Education. We will focus on the similarities and the differences
of the participating countries in order to agree on common ways of teaching Adults, and decide on an educational
tool for adult education, which will motivate adults to actively participate in life-long education in a European
dimension through workshops in Art.Using creative activity areas (dance, handicraft, and the art of communicative
behaviour – eg. communication, etiquette, oratory) the partnership will stimulate motivation to learn and gain new
competencies, will turn workshops into a wonderful means of self-expression, communication, making learning
useful and pleasant perspective hobby, which also satisfies one’s curiosity, creating innovative teaching methods
for adults , using Art as a means of Education. Tangible results - a travelling exhibition “Intercultural space: I watch,
learn and teach”, a cognitive-educational film with the same, a “Blog”, and an E-Portfolio. Intangible results - the
opportunity to acquire and develop 4 main competencies of adult learning: Personal (self-cognition, self-confidence,
self-esteem, self-expression); Educational (creative thinking, flexibility of thinking, life long learning); Social
(communication and collaboration, team work); Professional (knowledge of specific areas, competencies, skills,
