Objectives
Due to the situation in the Middle East and migrant waves in Europe, there are learners who have migrated or who are in transition through partners' countries for employment or family reasons as well as refugees and/or asylum seekers. This is why tuition for immigrants has recently been included in the legal framework of each partner institution and they offer and implement literacy programmes and homeland language learning programmes.
The main objectives of the gathering of information relevant for the immigrants and refugees:
- improve the competences of adult educators by defining key competences for all teachers involved in adult education;
- develop critical thinking, reflexivity, and self-assessment; identify different learning styles and strategies of adult learners and apply appropriate methods and techniques for teaching adults;
- evaluate the process of learning and teaching, develop consultation skills with the aim of helping adult learners select a learning programme;
- improve communication and presentation skills of adult education teachers, enable them to recognise strong and weak points in their own work in order to devise a training programme for adult educators;
