There are an estimated 320,000 problematic drug users in the UK and comparable numbers elsewhere in Europe; all with the capacity to engage in adult education. The changing EU policy focus for addiction treatment is moving towards recovery strategies which support social reintegration and cohesion. Adult education with its capacity for transformation could play a key part in this paradigm shift. There is little evidence, however, to inform practice in adult education in this area. The objective of this innovative project is to work with adults in addiction recovery to develop an asset-based ‘Access to Learning’ Course. The aim of which would be to encourage and maintain participation in adult learning to develop Recovery Capital and digital literacy and enhance opportunities for social reintegration. The Consortium involves adult education providers, drug recovery specialists and researchers, with a balanced spread over Europe making it well placed to deliver the project. Effective delivery of the project will be underpinned by a policy/practice review in relation to drug recovery programmes across Europe. Partners will carry out focus groups to identify enablers and barriers to participation in learning. Partners will develop an ‘Access to Learning’ Course and Evaluation Tools to enable facilitators to assess effectiveness. Each partner will pilot the course and Evaluation Tools with adult learners in addiction recovery. Feedback from the pilot will further develop a Course Pack and Evaluation Toolkit to be launched at a final Project Conference. An E-learning Platform will support use of blended learning materials including multi-language versions of the Course Pack and Evaluation Toolkit for use with adult learners in addiction recovery. The project will offer new opportunities to adults in addiction recovery by providing a user-informed Access to Learning Course, successful completion of which could open the way to further education and training.
