8 Project reference: 2008-GRU-LP-PA-171 Empowerment through arts for disabled people Each organisation in this LP is involved in working with people with disabilities. They are trained in artistic workshops by trainers in order to develop and improve their personal skills. The organisations take part in a European partnership to exchange experience and good practice. More aims of our project are: inter-vision for the learners and trainers, integration/inclusion of disabled people in the European community through art, positive image-building and empowerment (personal skills and self-awareness) for disabled people. In order to ensure these objectives, we ll organise meetings with trainers and learners. Each participant will share their experience and they will learn from each other by taking part in the art-workshops organised in every country. We are seeking inspiration from the partners and hoping to obtain fresh ideas for every organisation. We also want to take into account the differences, to observe them and get new practices in each other institution.

9 Project reference: 2008-GRU-LP-PA-162 European Mentoring and Befriending Group This hip will draw upon the extensive experience and knowledge of the to produce a European Charter of Mentoring and Befriending that will act as a framework for programmes across the EU and develop a consistent and accessible set of European materials and guidelines to support good practice throughout the EU. We recognise that mentoring and befriending involves a three-cornered learning relationship between the client, the volunteer and the co-ordinator and we will develop common principles and guidelines for setting up and improving programs of volunteer mentoring and befriending and shared opportunities for learning. (NB. The client is the person receiving the mentoring or befriending service)some of the organisations participating in this Learning hip have a broad experience in developing training materials and providing infrastructure support to new mentoring and befriending programmes as well as delivering local programs. This ensures that:- i. a definition of mentoring and befriending to provide a basis for exchange and networking across the EU will be agreed ii. the training and resources developed will focus on the issues in mentoring and befriending, iii. effective processes to engage all programmes and individuals working in the field will be developed, iv. local mentoring and befriending organisers will relate to and value the Charter and developed materials.

10 Project reference: 2008-GRU-LP-CO-165 See Who We Are Now (SWWAN) SWWAN wants to discuss, reflect on and visualise the concept culture in the broad sense of the word. Using new methodologies like ICT, film and documentary making, the end product will be a film in which a number of learners of different nationalities will express and visualise their ideas of culture and apply this to their own region, other European regions and their own world. A common (theoretical) framework to start from will be developed in the first phases of the project, while the actual filming will be done by learners of the participating organisations. As 2009 will be the European year of Creativity and Innovation we hope to contribute to the reawakening of creativity and the further development of innovative methods.

11 Project reference: 2008-GRU-LP-PA-174 Universités Populaires Européennes de Parents Les Universités Populaires de Parents constituent une nouvelle démarche expérimentée en France de 2005 à 2008, pour permettre à des parents des quartiers populaires, souvent stigmatisés,de s'exprimer et de faire entendre leurs propres perceptions de la parentalité dans l'espace public. Concrètement, ces Universités populaires de Parents sont des groupes de parents, qui mènent des recherches sur un thème en lien avec la parentalité (ex: l'échec scolaire) avec le soutien d'universités d'enseignement formel et d'animateurs chargés de la cohésion du groupe. Ces recherches font ensuite l'objet de débats au niveau local avec des acteurs comme les élus, les enseignants, pour rechercher ensemble comment améliorer la vie des enfants et de leurs parents. L'évaluation des Universités Populaires de Parents en France montre que cette démarche est très porteuse: en valorisant des parents qui ont peu ou pas fait d'études, en leur permettant,en qualifiant leurs savoirs d'expérience, de réfléchir, d'écrire, de débattre avec les institutions, cette démarche leur permet un épanouissement personnel et social.de plus, cela permet de créer de nouvelles formes de dialogue et de démocratie entre parents et institutions, et génère de nouvelles formes de partenariats entre citoyens et institutions(ex: des parents qui ont travaillé sur l'échec scolaire interviennent maintenant à l'institut de Formation des Maitres pour témoigner de leurs conditions de vie et de leurs propres représentations de l'échec scolaire).le projet Grundtvig consiste à implanter de nouvelles Universités Populaires de Parents en Belgique et en Allemagne, d'évaluer leur mise en oeuvre pour tester si cette démarche peut être essaimée dans d'autres pays d'europe, notamment en Europe de l'est, où un organisme Hongrois nous a fait part de son interet pour cette démarche. Il s'agit donc de donner une dimension européenne aux Universités Populaires de Parents.En terme d'activités, ce projet comprendra: - des séminaires d'universitaires et d'animateurs des Universités Populaires de Parents des trois pays pour évaluer la mise en oeuvre de la démarche, et sa transférabilité au niveau européen- des séminaires de parents pour mettre en commun, à un niveau européen,les recherches de chaque Université Populaire de parents. Ces séminaires ont aussi pour objectif de renforcer la motivation des parents en leur permettant de rencontrer des "pairs" et d'élaborer une réflexion au niveau européen sur la parentalit Name of the organisation: Vormingscentrum Opvoeding en Kinderopvang (VCOK) Name of the contact person: Katelijne De Brabandere Address: Brasschaat Raas van Gaverestraat 67a 9000 Gent katelijne.de.brabandere@vcok.be tel: website: - ACEPP FR - RAA Regionale Arbeitsstelle fur Bildung, Integration und Demokratie e.v DE - Paroles de Femmes FR - Steunpunt en Trainingscentrum Opvoeding BE - Internationale Akademie (INA) ggmbhan der Freien Universität Berlin, Institut fuer den Situationsansatz (ISTA) DE Coordinating country: France EPOS VZW - GRUNDTVIG VLAANDEREN - COMPENDIUM LEERPARTNERSCHAPPEN & MULTILATERALE PROJECTEN

12 Project reference: 2008-GRU-LP-PA-179 Power of Local Community Arts European society becomes more and more unity. This is because of the globalisation and the increase of exchanges of knowledge and learning-experiences between European countries. But on the contrary Europe is still a reflection of different cultures with its own identities. Most of the time people experience these differences as a threat and feel themselves unsafe (Naland, 2006). Unsafe towards other cultures. Intercultural dialogue seems to be a solution for this problem. Community Arts is a method of learning by art with its goal to make experience and value the local culture in comparison with the other cultures (to create an intercultural dialogue). The art is a bounding means in learning-processes to develop the intercultural dialogue which increases social cohesion and participation of inhabitants. This project POLCA develops different good practices of Community Art in Europe. Every European partner starts an innovative project of Community Art in a local learning-group and describes the process of intercultural dialogue of learning by art. After analysing and describing the different practices a publication for local institutions will be made which provides a new European method of Community Art and shows the entity of Europe and its cultures during learning-processes by using art.

13 Project reference: 2008-GRU-LP-PA-184 ReTHINK it! Plurality and Nation - Visions of Society We are living in globally connected societies, where Nation is losing relevance, but Nationalism is uprising in different ways. Because of international cooperation the national state has no longer the last authority, homogeneous nations do not exist due to migration and a multicultural population, and the social affiliation, guaranteed by the national welfare state, is threatened by consumer s individualization, precariousness and growing differences between rich and poor. Nationalism seems to give clear explanations to a complex world, an anchor to the past, a secure vision of the future and the feeling of being a part of a community. But the strong confession to a Nation often corresponds to intolerance and an anti-democratic attitude. - How is Nation thought in different regions of Europe during the last two centuries? Which visions of Nation are needed to think society as a cosmos of diversity AND to foster a common sense? How can we reinforce democracy and active participation in our local world? The participants (intercultural trainers, local target groups) will learn from each other about these items and develop their own standpoints by using methods of creativity. The results (parts of) teaching material will be presented on a common website (documentation).

14 Project reference: 2008-GRU-LP-PA-170 Little stories, great hopes_ Autobiography as an instrument for replanning in consequence of an imprisonment experience The aim of the project is predisposing an autobiographical activity inside penitentiaries for promoting and encouraging the reconsideration of one s own past and re-planning one s future beyond the bars. In imprisonment circumstances writing has ever been a way of understanding oneself, voicing hopes and desires, acquiring awareness of passing time, reflecting on one s own past and imagining a new different life. In penitentiaries writing therefore represents a creative activity which helps to survive and pursue a space for freedom. It becomes an instrument for discovering new worlds and new ways of self-expression. Starting from this premise, the project aims to collect the experiences of those detainees who, through narrations of their own life, work, suffering and imprisonment occurrences, try and want to find new perspectives and opportunities for their future. These above-mentioned worlds, these extracts of existence will be collected and illustrated by the means of narration, epistolary correspondence, poetry, music, photography and video, among others. The results of each autobiographical workshop, which are a synthesis of all the materials produced on both paper and multimedia supports (CD Rom, video and so on), will be divulged to all the penitentiaries involved in the project and published on the web.

15 Project reference: 2008-GRU-LP-PA-186 Exchanging and Developing Innovative Practices in Non-Formal Adult Education The partnership aims to develop, transfer and implement non-formal educational methods in adult education, especially in the training of trainers. Four adult education providers are involved in the project, all dealing with skills trainings, experiential adult learning, workshops and development of people and organisations. With the help of this project, we would like to facilitate the development of innovative practices and know-how in adult education, the transfer of training methodology from and to partner institutions, the exchange of professional experience in the training of trainers and a building of a strong international learning network. To achieve these objectives, we plan to organise multilateral and bilateral LEARN EXCHANGES, where we will conduct intercultural workshops and seminars to exchange best practices and know-how. The coordinating institution is Hungary, while Portugal, Ireland and Belgium are partner countries. To reach our aims, we have planned 4 multilateral and 6 bilateral Learn Exchanges for the 2 year period, a transnational meetings. Each partner institution will be represented by at least 2 staff members and accompanied possible; by one learner. As a result of the project, we have planned to create a joint website where methodologies and new project developments will be uploaded and shared.

16 Project reference: 2008-GRU-LP-PA-166 Creative Approaches to Intercultural Competence As groups of learners become increasingly heterogeneous, it is important that both learners and their teachers develop intercultural competence. By this, we mean the set of skills, understandings and attitudes needed to function effectively within a multicultural setting. The CAIC project (Creative Approaches to Intercultural Competence) seeks to identify and develop innovative practical methods for enhancing the intercultural competence of our adult learners, then to disseminate this good practice widely. The partners, from a range of institutions in eight widely-spread countries, will: Work with target groups of learners to develop their intercultural competence Share experience and develop innovative pedagogical approaches to enhancing intercultural competence Learn more about each other and our diverse cultures. Although our main emphasis is on process rather than product, there are three key deliverables: 1. A web-based archive of innovative approaches to help teachers develop intercultural competence in adult learners 2. An online collection of intercultural education material and communication tolls useful to adult learners 3. A set of eight, large, framed, photographs, depicting aspects of the culture of the eight member-states involved, for exhibition in each of the partner institutions as a permanent reminder of our European friendship.

17 Project reference: 2008/GRU-LP-PA-172 Integrating Diversity In Learning For Integration The project is a training attempt to approach diversity of learners as a positive social and pedagogic instrument for facilitating integration. Based on the hypothesis that diversity in its broader sense (culture, language, political and social status, gender, age, learning styles, etc) influences both the motives, the objectives and processes of learning, as well as the course design and trainers behaviors, the project aims at evaluating the existing practices and suggesting ways of improvement. Partner organisations will focus on their own target groups, locate the parameters which are related to learners cultural, social and educational background and research the extent to which these parameters influence the learning process. At a second stage, partners will share information, knowledge and ideas (peer training) for integrating diversity in the course through carefully designed tools and other pedagogic and social activities. Suggested tools and activities will be piloted in the course and evaluated on the basis of facilitating the learning process and supporting the learner s integration in the local community. The whole partnership process, selected new and positively evaluated tools, as well as general conclusions will be reported in digital form (DVD) for further dissemination.

18 Project reference: 2008-GRU-LP-PA-163 Innovative Adult Education for Sustainable Rural Development The project unites 6 partners (Belgium, Bulgaria, Italy, Lithuania, Romania, Slovenia) that share the belief that through civic activation and innovative adult education is possible to provide local people with tools for self-support and this way contribute to development of less advances rural areas and more competitive Europe. The project aims to promote active civic involvement into sustainable rural practices for maintaining environment quality and social inclusion. The main expected results: 1. Innovative method of involvement of older rural inhabitants in adult education created and used; 2. Rural learners are better assisted in development of social, civic, intercultural competencies and entrepreneurship skills in order to adapt to changing Europe and local labor markets; 3. Quality of cooperation and best practices transfer between partnering countries enhanced. The LP is based on active collaboration in implementation of common activities: visits to partner countries including selected sites of best practice examples, thematic seminars for partners and training courses for rural learners. will jointly prepare and widely use several outputs: innovative educational guidelines, project internet site with actively moderated discussion forum, quarterly newsletters, CD of best communities practices. Project will develop its monitoring and evaluation method to be applied to all project events and results.

20 Project reference: 2008-GRU-LP-PA-161 Cooperating with Parents in Early Intervention This Learning hip (LP), Cooperating with Parents in Early Intervention, intends to share knowledge and practices within the field of parent-professional partnerships in Early Intervention (EI). Parents and professionals will be the adult learners and the learning will occur through seven meetings in all participating countries.. In each meeting, there will be seminars, focusing on issues related to EI that underlay the importance of building partnerships with parents. In the different countries visits to Centers and Early Intervention Services and parent participation is expected to happen. The elaboration of the website will create opportunities for professionals and parents to exchange ideas, strategies and activities related to children. During the Project, each partner will disseminate information about each meeting on their own community, according to the available resources. The reports of the meetings will be published on the website of Eurlyaid,the European Association on the Early Childhood Intervention. A project magazine Cooperating with Parents in Early Intervention will be developed in order to document information about the project. This will have a printed and electronic version translated in the official languages of the intervening countries.
