EDUCADULTS
SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT
EducADULTs is a strategic partnership with 3 partner countries: Slovenia (LUV) and Spain (CEPA Paulo Freire) centers for adults; together with the Czech Republic (GLAFKA) education advisory company. It was born from the analysis of needs of the 2 educational centers where the lack of motivation of students with learning difficulties and low qualifications is detected. Our students show a high risk of exclusion in society due to previous academic failure. Our students need strategies to improve their process of skills acquisition and an effective evaluation/assessment system.
The EducADULTs methodology is defined as "pilot project" of a group of 24 students and 4 Slovenian-Spanish teachers that tries to implement a series of improvement strategies to optimize adult education. The educational center members – Spanish and Slovenians- will participate in teaching-learning activities while our Czech R. member will be the observer and assessor who will guide us to improve our skills. Besides, the 4 teachers will attend a 3 day-course in the Czech R. and will visit some other Adult Education Center for Good Practices.
This "Slovenian-Spanish Pilot Team" (12 students and 2 teachers per member) together with a Czech educational advisor (who is our third partner) will experience a series of activities before - during and after the mobilities.
The activities (workshops, meetings, visits, debates) are aimed at improving the basic competencies of students, promoting the reach of adult education through motivation and designing new evaluation paths that allow us to obtain more positive results. The students and professors themselves will evaluate and evaluate the results of their experiences, report the feasibility, suitability and effectiveness of approaches, learning and methodologies in both institutions.
The selection of 2 faculty participants takes place through the Erasmus Project Team 2019.
In our selection process, 12 students that show proactivity towards the tasks and have availability to travel will be selected. Their linguistic and cultural preparation will be taken into consideration, as well as their interest in attending the proposed meetings and their dedication to an audiovisual project that will be requested as a final test.
There will be 3 mobilities:
1.- Spain: 2 teachers and 12 Slovenian students will learn about our methodologies based on the acquisition of digital and linguistic competence in the foreign language of the CEPA Paulo Freire. They will also know our blog system.
2.- Slovenia: 2 teachers and 12 Spanish students will perform observation in the classroom, learn about new educational approaches (Flipped Classroom) and hold workshops on culture and improvement for the acquisition of basic skills.
3.- Czech Republic: 4 teachers advised by the Czech partner. With the reports of the 2 mobilities an exhaustive study will be made on the results obtained. This will be helped by the company GLAFKA, Luka Novotny as educational advisor and participant observer in the mobilities. Once the result has been refined, we will try to put into practice, in the short term, those positive strategies and methodologies that we will conclude and implement the measures and strategies in our own context. The results that we hope for are very positive, since they will help us deduce strategies to facilitate the acquisition of basic skills for students; we will also implement the evaluation system used to document results and improve them. All this will help us to have a more effective outreach and give adult education the good reputation it deserves.
We will measure the impact, qualifying if we have achieved the objectives and, in turn, these have affected the different levels with lasting effect.
- Better results in the final grades of the students.
- Greater variety of teaching and assessment strategies to offer a more personalized teaching.
- Students and teachers will be more motivated, with a stronger feeling of Europe belonging.
We will ensure that these results will be used by other centers, disseminating our experiences periodically as we will use them constantly in our daily practice. The results will be published as the bimonthly and quarterly reports are made, as well as the final report.
- Photos of the work carried out, before-during and after the mobilities will be published, with the consequent explanation of the objective pursued and the milestones achieved.
- Dissemination in our social networks: Website, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, EPALE and eTwinning, with videos and audiovisual material explaining the results and the impact obtained with each activity.
- Participation in the local educational fair: Aula Fuenlabrada where we will inform potential students about our teaching strategies.
- Dissemination in the written press and local radio of Fuenlabrada, to get the results of the Project to the population of Fuenlabrada.
- Good practices in CRIF or CTIF, where we will discuss the design, development and results of our activities.

ACTIVITIES
PRE-ACTIVITIES
To carry out this project we consider the following previous activities:
Through this equipment (via telephone, video-conference, whatsapp, email) they will be taking measures and making the previously agreed arrangements between the 3 partners.
- Internally of each center:
1.- Follow-up of the project in each faculty staff. In this way, we will keep teachers who participate indirectly informed of all the efforts, activities and progress of the Project.
2.- Preselection - Selection and Election of students and teachers who will participate in the Project directly: As for the students participating in the planned mobility, we will select those who show proactivity towards the tasks and activities carried out in mobility virtual and have availability to travel. We can use your language and cultural preparation as a scale, in addition to your interest in attending the proposed meetings and your dedication to an audiovisual project that will be requested as a final test.
3.- Pre-activities-Preparation of workshops to be held in the host country: cultural, gastronomic and tolerance-based workshops, inclusion, cooperation between countries .. Workshop for document preparation: European health card, certificate digital, request for renewal of DNI or passport by telematic means, etc.
Very important:
a.- Workshops to learn how to use the Europass and start filling it out
b.- eTwinning Workshops from October to January: Students will be made to exchange emails withthe partners of the partner institution, with the aim of getting to know each other and developing ties to maintain a solid academic relationship during the Project and after this one. For this, eTwinning will be used as a platform for communication and exchange of ideas and experiences. In this way, the workshops held in each institution will be shared in a virtual way and will serve as preparation for the topics that will be addressed during mobility.
** eTwinning will be used to:
- have a first contact between students of educational institutions, so that lasting and sustainable relationships are established.
- carry out the pre-mobility activities with our students, using the English language as a communication tool and practicing reading-writing competence through simple and attractive exercises that prepare us for the mobility workshops.
