My Voice
This project considers the development of learner focused community education that is based on the personal needs
and circumstances through the active listening of potential learners so that they can actively design learning
programmes that meet their needs. This will be initially achieved through the research and examination of different
European approaches and methodology in engaging the participation of hard to reach learners and citizens within rural
and urban districts. Adult and Community Education (Life Long Learning) has a variety of aims and objectives that
differ from country to country. This project concentrates on the learning providers being non-formal community and
voluntary sector based organisations that have the mutual aim of encouraging active community participation. A key
objective in all countries is the active participation of the most disadvantaged members of the community and the
active encouragement to become active citizens. The project aims to examine the learning and empowerment journeys
of European citizens that want to learn in order to improve their circumstances but lack the confidence and resilience
to make steps into formal education or take part in community initiatives.
