ÉIRE
"PLACE" People Learning for Active Citizenship in Europe
The main objective of the project is to promote active citizenship through adult learning in a community based personal
development project. “PLACE” will use a series of modules to focus on personal development of the participants,
building self-esteem and self-confidence, exploring leadership and facilitating participation in the community as active
citizens. “PLACE” will engage reluctant adult learners in relevant and inclusive accessible capacity building
programmes and will endeavour to provoke change in their lives. Partners will access and identify learner’s competences
and develop those competences. Appropriate strategies will be devised to engage, improve, promote, generate and share
experiences. Learners will meet in year 2 of the project. “PLACE” will use both qualitative and quantitative analysis.
“PLACE” will conclude with a dissemination seminar where a publication relating personal experiences of learners and
the seminar report “INPLACE” will be launched. The project will facilitate the development of greater levels of
engagement in society by learners not alone at a local level but will broaden horizons at a European level. The project
will endeavour to develop meaningful opportunities for people to become active citizens and thereby possess greater
levels of competence to become integrated in society in a European and local dimension.
