"The COVID-19 pandemic is shaking the society. Each major sector of society must contribute, whether through caring for and supporting those infected, stopping the spread of the virus or ensuring the supply of essential goods and services to cloistered families. Much is demanded also of the education sector. Adult learning and education is needed in preparation and as a response to any crisis. COVID-19 is just another point in history that stresses the importance of non-formal adult learning and education (ALE) to equip people with the necessary knowledge, skills, attitudes and values to cope with crisis as responsible citizens. The future of ALE is digitalisation, its support to older learners, but also fostering all the community learning. Today, non-formal ALE is more needed than ever because it serves the people whose barriers to learning were exacerbated by the crisis.The project ""I. We. Society"" will focus on creating interesting and useful digital course programs that could be used by different age and profile adults. The aim is to provide people of all ages with equal and open access to high-quality learning opportunities and a variety of learning experiences, special attention being paid to the vulnerable part of the society facing changes or disadvantages in their lives, some of them created by Covid-19 pandemic. The target group of the whole project is quite wide, but each program will focus on one special type of them. With this in mind, effective material based on the needs of different target groups will be created. The aim of the project “I. We. Society."" is to :* research the methods of promoting adult education after Covid-19 in the project partner countries* provide help to different groups of society, including the so called vulnerable groups * create 6 digital on-line training courses. The program titles can be changed or edited following the analysis of the training needs and interests during the implementation period.The project will be implemented by 6 centers dealing with adult education - Grobiņa Adult Education center ( Latvia), Ecocenter Alapítvány ( Hungary), Asociacion De Innovacion Formaciony Empleo Para El Desarrollo Sostenible ( Spain), Ljudska Univerza, Zavod Za Izobrazevanje In Kulturo, Rogaska Slatina ( Slovenia), G.G. Eurosuccess Consulting Limited ( Cyprus), Igor, obrt za cjeloživotno učenje, vl. Igor Štavlić, Marindvor ( Croatia). Each target group of the project has their own needs where the created course can help them deal with the current situation:* young parents may need advice how to deal with different problems in the society when a child is born* re-immigrating people have to adjust to the new situation in the native country* recently retired people have to be helped feel still active and needed in the society * people with different disabilities will find online course easily assessible * temporary unemployed people affected by Covid-19 pandemics will benefit from the course as it will include practical advice for finding a new job* small business owners will get practical help how to decrease the existing problems.All the 6 created digital programs will consist of 7 chapters that will be created in English and then translated in 6 project partner languages. All the created materials will be stored on a special project platform. The following participants will be involved in the implementation of the project:* 6 staff members from each partner organization who will create the program materials* 10 participants from each partner organization who will pilot the created materials* associated partners who will help in carrying out the planned project activities.There will be 6 transnational project meetings, each of them consisting of the analysis of the created digital programs. During each meeting the project partners will analyze 7 created chapters of the course. All the partners will work on all the chapters but one partner will be responsible for finalizing the chapters of one program. After the planned courses are created, they will be piloted in all the partner organizations. If needed, the courses will be improved before publishing them. The project will finish with multiplier events in each partner country. Dissemination activities will be carried out through the whole project implementation time.The impact and sustainability of the project is as follows:* 600 participants will have got motivation to improve their life and improved their IT skills* 60 participants will have reflected on the created digital distance learning courses:* 40 staff members will have improved their own foreign language and IT skills, as well as increased their expertise on adult teaching* the adult education centers will have got 6 new digital programs that can be offered to vulnerable social groups."

"The context of the project is essential to modernize the study process in all education stages by making it more convenient and accessible to individuals. Distance education, especially distance learning is a mode of delivering education to students, often using personalized approach. Distance learning provides students to complete the chosen study program irrespective of their disabilities, illness or any other personal reasons that prevent them from attending traditional on-the-ground courses. Another advantage of online learning is that it can be practiced virtually anywhere and anytime provided the learners have a PC and internet access. The current project addresses various segments of the target group, including elderly generation and those who need assistance in formulating their education and training needs. The main aim of the project “Developing EU through online innovation” was to develop seven thematic digital courses in 8 languages English, Italian, Spanish, Latvian, Greek, Hungarian, Bulgarian and Turkish - and disseminate the prepared courses in local communities. Each course consists of 15 units. All courses can be grouped according to the following themes in adult education: (i) career and business life, (ii) personal improvement, (iii) connecting work and private life. Each partner organization was in charge of developing one digital course. •Grobiņa Adult education centre developed program 1 - digital course ""Live online""•G.G. Eurosuccess consulting, LTD worked on creating program 2- digital course “Learn English online” •Superficie 8, LTD developed program 3 - digital course “Career skills advice “•Turgutlu Kaymakamligi was responsible for developing program 4 - digital course “Entrepreneurial skills “•Iniciativas de proyectos de formacion produced program 5 - digital course “IT skills “.•Iniciativi za grajdansko obshtestvo developed program 6 - digital course “Communication and self-improvement “• Eco Center Alapítvány worked on developing program 7 - digital course “Sustainable life “.Apart from the created 7 programs consisting of 15 chapters each, the project partners also organized seminars for adult educators. In each project meeting, there was one seminar, each touching a certain theme of adult education. There were 7 project meetings. The 1st project meeting was devoted to the analysis of the job market in each country. During the next project meetings partners analyzed 3 created chapters of each program. The working language was English and the chapters were created in English. If the chapters were accepted by the partners, they were translated in 7 native languages and placed on the project website www.adultcourses.eu During project meeting 6 alongside analyzing chapters 13 -15, project partners discussed how the created materials will be piloted. A group of adults piloted all the created programs and provided suggestions on how to improve the course materials. After the piloting stage the project partners improved their programs and in May multiplier events were organized in each project partner organization to disseminate the created 7 digital programs to the interested organizations and people. The last project meeting was devoted to summarizing the work done during the project and analysis of the multiplier events. It is expected that the created courses will be included in the list of courses adult centers offer to the public, thus more than a thousand participants will have an opportunity to raise their self-awareness and motivation to acquire new skills through digital learning and to improve their IT skills. That will lead to the sustainability of the produced project intellectual outputs. The created digital distance learning courses will be available to be introduced to any national or international adult education center. Another advantageous aspect of the planned intellectual outputs is that course materials will be prepared in 7 national languages of project partners and will be available to the public at the project website for 5 years. Potential long-term benefits are that the project will increase the educational offer in adult education by providing a new program for social integration process of disadvantaged groups from local to international level. It is also expected that the course participants will develop competencies of the 21st century in the virtual world. Developed intellectual outputs – course materials - will serve as a teaching resource after completion of the project. Another long-term benefit will be collaboration among students, a better relationship between students, teachers, and staff. Thus, also the social climate in the adult centers will have improved."
