<< Background >>The Covid 19 crisis has highlighted the major role which adult learning can play in achieving the European Education Area (EC,2020) goals.Education and training at all levels should equip people with the digital skills, but also other competences, such as entrepreneurship and learning to learn, which are needed to navigate in the labour market transformed by technological change which has been introduced as one of the six dimensions of European Education Area (EC,2020) which is introduced by the European Commission to establish a reinforced approach to ensure the achievement of Europe.Digital literacy is a must, the more so in a post-Covid-19 world. Practically all further learning and jobs in all sectors will require some form of digital skills, yet on average two in five Europeans aged 16-74 are lacking these skills.Education and training at all levels should equip people with the digital skills, but also other competences, such as entrepreneurship and learning to learn, which are needed to navigate in the labour market transformed by technological change which has been introduced as one of the six dimensions of European Education Area (EC,2020) which is introduced by the European Commission to establish a reinforced approach to ensure the achievement of Europe.Unlike the compulsory school system, adult learning is a voluntary commitment based on high levels of motivation and proactivity. This presents more of a challenge for education providers. Efforts must be made to continuously develop innovative methodologies and tools in order to engage adult learners in improving their skills and competences.The project aims to develop an innovative multilingual Digital Competences Development System fully compatible with the European framework DigComp 2.0 for adult educators by providing them O1:Self-assessment and recommendation tool for e-skills (SERT) O2:An open online course (OOC) about teaching e-skills<< Objectives >>In 24 months, in a collaborative and cross-sectoral way, the partners from Belgium,Turkey,Austria and Slovenia will pave the way for more tailored solutions for overcoming the barriers to:-Provide guidance and resources for adult educators across Europe on training low skilled adults on how to use ICT tools and digital methods to better deliver e government services -Provide skills to access public services online, which for elders means to keep up-to-date personal competences and transversal skills, leading to a significant step towards active ageing. -Define/develop a self-assessment tool for digitisation of low skilled adults in order to effectively use e government services -Train low-skilled adults and develop their competences in digital skills through a gamified web-platform hosting an interactive online step-by-step web tool to guide target group users in learn digital skills,connected to Open Badges System (OBS) to be tested/complete through two specific training sessions during the project life time<< Implementation >>The project will implement two project results, five Multiplier Events and three transnational projects to support 7 work packages.All these will result in the realization of the project aims.WP1 Project Management to ensure that the project meets its objectives within budget and scheduled timescales. WP2 to develop project result 1-Self Assessment Tool tailored to the needs of adult educators to provide them self assess competencies to train low skilled adults on digital skills.WP3 to develop project result 2: Open Online Course to teach e-skills including an innovative method (gamification) to support adults learning through increasing their motivation and engagement. WP4 Dissemination and exploitation to carry on the regular activities of the work package concerning communication and information through the participation to different meetings with the target group and the stakeholders and to write regular reports on E-Skills.WP 5 Quality control and monitoring to monitor the efficient progress of the activities towards the scheduled milestones and deliverables, and to monitor the quality of the results generated and disseminated in line with the application form.WP6 – Sustainability to assure the assessment of the elaborated sustainability plans.<< Results >>R1 SERT:Self-assessment and recommendation tool will be developed to provide educators with an overview of low skilled adults’ digital competences in line with the DigComp Framework.R2 OOC:A Multilingual e-learning platform , with innovative e-Learning courses and OOC on ICT-based teaching methods for educators working with adults will be developed. Online courses will aim at facilitating that trainers acquire the necessary skills and knowledge. The online materials developed will be able to be re-used and adapted.R3 5 Multiplier Events for 250 participants:To disseminate the project and support the development of the two project results, 5 Multiplier Events will be held for 250 participants in 4 partner countries. Intangible results (both during the project lifetime and after its end) are the following:-Raised digital competences for low skilled adults in becoming socially integrated.-Increased digital literacy of adults;-Better accomplishment and personal satisfaction into adults’ lives leading to a more active and healthier 3rd age;-Developed and tested training program and e-learning and e-assistance tools tailored to provide the specific skills and support needed to digitally access the public services-Effective methodology for high-quality work with adults in 5 European countries and beyond by applying confidence-building approach and using interactivity;-Knowledge and experience gained by partner organisations in the field of transnational cooperation, project management, innovative practices to inclusion of older people;
