SK.IN is a project aimed to share and develop educators' competences and learning methods for skills development and inclusion, addressed especially to low-skills learners or to those with obstacles in education and inclusion in society and job market (inmates, NEETS, unemployed, early school leavers, minorities,...).The project arises from the daily needs of the organisations involved, shared in the planning phase of the project, underlining the need of lifelong learning opportunities for these learners, especially on key-competences and soft skills, and the need for adult educators to develop a wider range of tools to motivate their learning process and get effective achievement of results.Project OBJECTIVES are:1. For adult educators: to share good practices and tools to better support and improve competence development of their low-skills adult learners, aiming to inclusion in society and to the holistic personal development.. 2. For disadvantaged adult learners: to practice and develop basic skills (literacy, numeracy, ICT,..) and transversal skills (as for example: social skills, critical thinking, communication skills, leadership, negotiation, conflict management, ..) improving learners self-esteem.3. To test and apply innovative tools to motivate adult learners from different ages/backgrounds (prisoners, NEETS, unemployed,..) to develop basic competencies and transversal skills and validate and recognise their achievements with Open digital badges. 4. To obtain a deep impact in dissemination and quality in Adult Education by creating a Facebook Page and a PDF Booklet about the methods and tools developed5. Strengthen the cooperation between different types of organizations involved in this project (Companies, Youth organisations, Public Bodies,..) developing their capacities through a multisectorial cooperation.The direct participants in the project activities will be 10 Adult Educators and 5 coordinators from the 5 Participating organisations and 40 adult learners with fewer opportunities/low skills.The project foresees the following milestones:1. Preparation phase (December 2016 - February 2017)2. 1st Transnational Meeting - (Portugal - February 2017)3. Training Course for adult educators from the 5 organisations (Italy - May 2017)4. Local workshops with adult learners in 2 countries (6 workshops with a group of 20 learners each- September- November 2017)5. 2nd Transnational Meeting - (Greece - December 2017)6. Products creation (2 phases: May- August 2017 and January-march 2018)7- 3rd Transnational Meeting - (Romania - April 2018)8- Dissemination of results (April-May 2018)9. Final Evaluation (May 2018)We apply a methodology based on cooperation and on complementarity of expertise of each participating organisation, able to fulfill the learning objectives and to produce and disseminate proper and useful products for other educators and learners, also beyond Adult Education (Education and Youth field).We will apply methodologies from Non-formal Education in order to guarantee development of soft skills and key competences for lifelong learning. Especially through “Life skills Education” methods - based on group exercises and games promoting social skills, cooperation, creativity, communication skills and leadership, conflict management. After each exercise is foreseen a debriefing time, in order to guarantee participants’ awareness and “learning to learn” development.Open digital badges will be the the main tool for recognition of the learning outcomes of the Educators in the Training activity and for adult learners in local workshops.We plan to use Open Badges for making visible the learning achievements (skills, behaviors, and attitudes) that first Adult Educators and then adult learners will gain enhancing their awareness and their attitude for learning.We expect the following main results:-Empowerment of the 10 Adult Educators competences in skills development (especially after the TC) thanks to the shared non-formal tools and methods, to apply with their low-skills adult learners.- Empowerment of the 100 Adult Learners on basic and soft skills (in 6 Local workshops)- Enhance the non formal skills recognition through the Open Badges- Empower the capabilities of the participating organisationsOrganisations, Adult educators and adult learners will be the potential longer term beneficiaries .
