OPEN WINDOWS – A way to improve learning methods and cultural awareness of adult
learners
The project “OPEN WINDOWS” unites institutions from EESTI, Norway, and Greece involved in both formal and
non-formal education. The main aim is to improve the methods of dealing with socially disadvantaged people, disabled,
immigrants, school system drop-outs, and become more effective offering higher quality services through intercultural
exchange and experience. The project objectives are to be achieved through the following activities: working in local
teams in cooperation with local communities and authorities, partner meetings, exchanges of staff, creation of a
Website, making a questionnaire, publishing methodological materials, and a final conference. The Website of the
project (www.nvtc.ee/openwindows) includes information about the institutions, events, good practices, results and
findings of the project. The methodological materials will include findings of the project, recommendations on working
with the target groups, examples of best practices, etc. Cooperation with local communities and authorities ensures a
sound basis for our ideas and activities and provides an increased awareness of European cultures not only in the
participating institutions but also in the areas they are situated in and local and national organisations dealing with the
target groups. Working together in one international team we support each other in solving problems connected with the
training of target groups, share and develop methods, and open for our learners a window towards other cultures.
