LIMA - Life Management Skills
In each partner’s country there are at risk groups who are threatened by a social exclusion. Most of these people have
very low level of education and consistently an instable position in the labour market, i.e. they switch frequently from
employment to unemployment. This happens not only because of their educational deficits but also because of lack or
insufficient use of life management skills (knowledge about their rights, possibilities of counselling and health
services, learning opportunities — improvement of basic skills and language, etc.). Despite of training and counselling
provision offered by the partner’s institutions they are mostly short-term employed and get back to their “passive” role
again.
The project aims at enhancing the training of the trainers who work with people with low education level and enable
them to counsel and train their course participants in a more effective way.
Apart from this primary project target group (teachers, trainers and counsellors from all partners’ organizations being
involved in training and counselling of people with low education level), the training participants from each partner’s
organization are the beneficiaries of the project.
A holistic approach is an answer for designing a more successful and individual-centred training and counselling
provision for people with low education level. The acquired life management skills should enable the participants to
feel responsible for their lives and participate actively in our society taking advantage of life long learning
possibilities. Sharing the ideas and best practices between project partners will enable the trainers to improve and
modify their training concepts and curricula.
