Demands on informal educational opportunities have been growing consistently: they are supposed to be innovative and content should aim at social challenges and problems as well as promote civic engagement. To motivate learners with negative school experiences offers are supposed to be designed interactive and by use of multimedia and at the same time appeal to a culturally diverse audience. In any case, they need to achieve the greatest possible effect with the least financial and human resources.To meet these demands a specialized staff qualification and a reliable cooperation with other institutions of informal adult education is required.It is therefore the objective of the project "Something better" to improve the quality of the informational and educational offer at Animal Equality Germany (AEG) through the qualification of staff especially in the areas of 1. information offer and campaigns, 2. volunteer work and 3. management. Furthermore, networking activities should also lead to new partnerships and collaborations with institutions in other European countries.The project offers the opportunity to the educational, administrative and volunteer staff of AEG to make a total of 25 mobility experiences - 15 course attendance and 10 job shadowing at our partner institutions in Spain, Belgium, Italy and the UK. The courses contain qualification in the fields of development of information services, volunteer work, funding and management, while in job shadowing staff gathers experiences mainly in the field of development of information offers, but also IT, voluntary work and European accounting and Finance. The participants do not only broaden their professional skills, but also learn about the European dimension in their area of work, are motivated to an increased international cooperation and meet their daily challenges more confidently and with more foresight.As an institution, we expect the project to allow us to offer improved information and educational opportunities through European information services, which are multimedia and better tailored to national, but heterogeneous audience. We also want to stabilize our previous contacts with partner institutions and gain new contacts.A two-person coordination team at AEG prepares participants for the mobility, evaluates their knowledge and arranges the travel bookings before. The dissemination and evaluation measures as well as the communication with the partner institutions will be borne by the coordination team. The partner institutions look after the participants during the course or the job shadowing. With the partners agreements are concluded, including amongst others learning objectives, certification measures, conditions and in-place service intensity.
