The target group also involves: the representatives of the partner countries, 8 chosen experts from all the partner countries involved in the project. Additionally the representatives of local communities of the participants among whom the results and developed methods and products will be disseminated.Overall: 300 peopleThe results:• further building and reinforcing mutual partnership of the organizations involved,• promoting the idea of partnership through active dissemination stage: project and product promotion• broadening the knowledge on how to work and support the youth• experience sharing• empowering the youth through adapting a expert/partner approach and involving them in the product production stage• activating the youth groups in the countries involved• enabling 29 people the chance to work and collaborate in the international team also in virtual environment• implementing and testing workshop based on “European Entrepreneurship Programme”• designing online and traditional tools to be used during the workshop and further work with the youth• creating an online platform and working environment• promoting and sending the developed workshop programme and tool to minimum 40 organizations working with the youth in the partner countries• sharing the developed programme and tools on the partner websites and other free of charge EU websites, min. 15 websites.Working on European Entrepreneurship Programme will have long term beneficial effects on the work of other youth organizations which could implement the developed method, programme and tools as well as will be vital in every day work of the organizations involved.

PROJECT DETAILS Partner organisations from Poland , Portugal and Czech Republic have been cooperating since 2017 and strategic partnership was established. In 2018 Partnership is upheld. The project was implemented in 2018-2021Partners found similar realities and problems: LACK OR INSUFFICIENT COMPETENCES OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHERS WORKING WITH ADULTS with use modern technology. To resolve that problem we established team of international experts, who worked out results of intellectual work . The products were worked on by an international interdisciplinary team of experts (2-4 people from each country, about 10 people in total), including, among others, an instructional techniques specialist, a teaching methodologist, an andragogy expert, a psychologist, experienced English teachers, an e-learning techniques and modern technologies specialist. The project assumed employing the Kolb effective learning cycle (experience, reflection, knowledge, use) as a universal method of designing effective teaching process modules. The key assumption was to use 4 learning styles (activator, contemplative, pragmatist, theorist) as a starting point for the individual approach to an adult learner. The project assumed the use of modern technologies. Within the framework of the project a series of pilot trainings was provided: An International School of Language Teachers. In the workshops the international group of English teachers (20 people in total) tested the prepared products, acquired how to use them practically and then use them in classes with adult students. The final effect was the feedback which allows the introduction of corrections and improvements before making the products popularized. Workshop gave some feedback about effectiveness and usefulness, what allowed experts to make necessary corrections RESULTS OF INTELLECTUAL WORK: 1) METHOD BOOK (e-book): teacher’s book including the description of methods and tools which help to determine the learning style represented by a given adult student. 2) SCENARIO FOR ENGLISH LESSON AND MULTIMEDIA FOR ADULT STUDENTS: (quizzes, interactive exercises, etc.) ready to be used. 3) MULTIMEDIA FOR TEACHERS: presentations, video tutorials, an Internet platform for teachers RESULTS OF THE PROJECT: -Building the partnership between the institutions participating in the project; -Promote the idea of partnership by providing information about the project and its results; - increased knowledge about cooperation with adults and for adults; - Exchange of experience and the use of practical achievements; - Allowing educators to work in international group; - implementing and testing of intelectual work outcomes; - development of tools to work with adults (surveys, workshops scenario); -building a on-line platform, -sending out links, results and program of workshops for institutions working with adults from the area of partner countries; - making developed results available on partners' websites and on the free pages in the EU; THE TARGET GROUP: 3 partnership organisations, 20educators, 10 experts, Minimum 90 users of „IC-ENGLISH” platform, Minimum 150 participants of dissemination conferences, Selected project activities • 4 Project staff meetings (2 meetings also involve experts) • 1 international training for educators (24 persons) • 3 dissemination conferences (1 in each country) PROJECT IMPACTBeneficiaries of disseminating activities were mostly institutions and its employeesfrom partnership countries and Europe, which operate mainly in the field of adult education, teaching english, ICT, training companies, educational institutions, educators, freelancers.

"The iAware project is implemented by the Partnership of three organizations from Poland, Portugal and Italy and is the answer to the jointly diagnosed problem of insufficient ICT competence among adults. This problem results from the lack of modern education programs that transcend content beyond learning the skills of standard device handling and the use of network resources. Thus, the project meets contemporary challenges related to the development of the Internet and responds to the need to raise ICT competences among adults in the current Internet reality.The objectives of the project are:•Creation of a modern adult ICT education program that takes into account contemporary challenges in the field of Internet security and the conscious use of global network resources.•Providing ICT trainers and adult educators with the right tools, knowledge base and skills to shape attitudes among adults in the conscious use of modern technologies.•Improving the ICT competences of adults in the EU and building an information society.Support will cover the following categories of participants:•Experts - from 2 to 4 people from each Partner country (8-10 people) with a minimum of 2 years of expert experience in their field. They will be specialists in such fields as, among others: teaching methodology, adult training, including ICT training, cyber-security, new media and digital culture, multimedia technologies, training techniques, creation of educational materials.•ICT trainers / educators for adults - 4 people from each partner country - a total of 12 people working with adults on an everyday basis, conducting trainings in the field of raising broadly defined ICT competences.

This will happen thanks to the creation of a modern adult ICT education program that takes into account the contemporary Internet challenges (both threats and opportunities). The results of intellectual work developed within the framework of the project are:•O1 - Modular Digital Competences Training Program ""iAware"" - a training program developed in a practical and functional way, with five thematic modules that take into account issues related to online threats, their identification and counteraction, active participation in the information society, conscious use of information and communication technologies.•O2 - Educational platform ""iAware"" - an Internet application where other project results will be made available in digital form. It will enable trainers to conduct trainings in an attractive way, using multimedia dedicated to individual modules. Also individuals who want to improve their competences in the field of conscious use of ICT will be able to use it, since it’s an open source tool.•O3 - Methodological guide with instructions for the trainer - Instructions for the use of tools for ICT trainers and educators working with adults published in the form of an e-book.

The results of intellectual work will be used in other projects and initiatives undertaken by the applicant and partner organizations.Partner organisations:•EURO-FORUM, POL•PRISM, ITA•COFAC, POR"
