Reinforcing the role of adults’ learning institutions

ALICE Project’s OutlineIL can be a twofold purpose

process, that improve dialogue among generations through civic participation in common social and institutional spaces,

while at the same time enacts processes of informal learning towards the achievement, both by adults and children, of key competences for lifelong learningAdults Learning for Intergenerational Creative


AimsTo help adults, senior citizen and volunteers to

reflect and acquire competences necessary to become effective educators, and the impact their actions can have on future learning of children.

To provide adults, senior citizen and volunteers with creative languages to generate “zones of proximal development” for intergenerational learning;

To train adult's trainers to adopt ALICE methodological approach, becoming aware of the role that adult's as educator can have on social cohesion, and hence, re-considering the value of adult's training institutions.Adults Learning for Intergenerational Creative


Objectives (1)To improve knowledge on cultural

diversity and values of European patrimony, as the base of creative languages, with impact on adult's acquisition of Key competence (KC) 8 “cultural awareness and expression” .

To favour sharing of creative experiences among generations, as spaces of reflection, awareness and learning on otherness towards commitment and solidarity, with impact on adult's acquisition of “social and citizenship KC6”



Objectives (2)To develop knowledge and skills for using art as

creative language to dialogue with children with impact on adult's the acquisition of KC 5 (learning to learn), KC7 (sense of initiative and entrepreneurship) e KC8

To develop knowledge and skills for using storytelling as creative language to dialogue with children with impact on adult's the acquisition of KC 5 (learning to learn), KC7 e KC8

To develop knowledge and skills for using games and social media as creative language to dialogue with children with impact on adult's the acquisition of KC 4 (digital competence) and KC5



Objectives (3)To empower alliances among local government,

school, elder people centers, cultural associations, private sector, University, as spaces of implementation of creative experiences for intergenerational learning

To improve the perspective of interdependence between adult as educator and adult as lifelong learner, improving the participation of adults to lifelong learning.

To contrast processes of exclusion and marginalization of adults-children at risk because of the low competences of the former in caring/educating the latter.



ALICE’s toolkitEuropean and non-European cultural heritage:

art (music/paintings/theatre); elder people stories; children's literature;

Social media to promote sharing of learning results -digitalization of contents created above-

Games, according to children ages, to stimulate problem solving, creativity, entrepreneurship.



ALICE’s Phases of Development1. Train adults' trainers to understand and implement

ALICE’s approach. 2. Trainers will implement ALICE’s approach through an

informal education environment. Different adults could be engaged: partners, senior citizen, teachers, volunteers.

3. Testing phase where adults will use creative languages with children. The phase is accomplished with participatory evaluation (as adults and trainers reflection process) on impact on intergenerational dialogue.

The project will also implement a strategy of communication to raise awareness among international scientific community, as well as local policy makers and adults’ education providers on ALICE’s strategy and impact, for further adoption of the model

WORKPACKAGE 1: Project ManagementLeader: CIRDFAParties must ensure smooth communication and participation to all

collaborative decision taking processes within the project, regarding the transnational coordination.

Parties will implement the necessary local coordination to undertake the envisaged activities.

To this regard, the partner will be asked to intervene/monitor communications on the Web based collaborative environment, at least once a week.

A representative of each partner is supposed to take part in three Scientific Committee meetings Venice for Start up; Ticino for 2nd SC Meeting and venue of training of

researchers/coordinators; Crete as venue for 3rd SC and training of adult's trainers) Bucharest as venue for the closing event Adults Learning for Intergenerational Creative

WORKPACKAGE 3: Training of Adults’ Trainers Leader: CIRDFA Partners will be asked to collaborate with the elaboration of a written module (and optionally,

multimedia materials) for training of trainers' purposes. The module should have at most 30 pages, with illustrations. Graphic design and impagination

will be agreed with CIRDFA’s supervision. The partner will be also responsible for online tutoring of trainees (being prepared to become

adults’ trainers), regarding the own specific module: Introduction to the Adult's Education Programme. CIRDFA Art and Adults' creative interactions with Children. MA&S Childrens’ Literature: Metaphors to enact intergenerational dialogue. FNCC Digital Storytelling: intergenerational narratives. SEED Games and social media to promote intergenerational learning. TUC Implementing Results at the Community Level. CIRDFA or SREP

This activity will take a month, with an approximately workload of 2 weekly interventions within platform.

Since tutoring online implies specific strategies of communication with students, giving feed-back, implementing assessment and elaborating results for certification/accreditation purposes, CIRDFA will implement a session for coordinators of training to be held in presence at Ticino, Switzerland.

CIRDFA will also give support to the implementation of TRAINING during the whole programme Every partner is supposed to select two trainers (paid by the project) and two-five trainers that

would like to participate voluntarily –motivated by training and certification-.

WORKPACKAGE 4: Adults Learning Pilot Programmes Leader: The Mosaic Art&Sound

Every partner is supposed to implement a local pilot selected activities for adult learning.

Six “open” informal adult’s training activities of two/four hours are expected in every country (except Italy where resources are divided between CIRDFA and FNCC) (*)

The parties will work with trained trainers, as well as with facilitators, to animate adult's informal learning through creative/artistic activities developed by the above mentioned trainers.

To this regard, the concept of adult education here is a “creative”/participatory activity, where the adult reflects later about the informal and non-formal learning emerged in it.

Parties will also have resources to produce video-documentation and DVD production; Use of social media, considering the topics covered will be desiderable. In order to implement training activities, it’s necessary to associate at least two other

cultural/adult associations, which the party will decide and communicate to the coordinator not later than April 2012.

Furthermore, every partner could host one trainer from another Party’s nationality, as observer and active participant in one of the Seminars.

The developments and outcomes of the process will be shared in Greece, for the Residential Seminar on “Adult’s Trainers Pilot presentations”.

(*) The last activity should be devoted to reflection and participatory evaluation of activities
