The Council of the European Union, on their recommendation from the 22 May 2018 on Key competences for lifelong learning, established a framework of eight key competences to be developed in all citizens of the EU. This recommendation defines Digital competence as the competence that “involves the confident, critical and responsible use of, and engagement with, digital technologies for learning, at work, and for participation in society. It includes information and data literacy, communication and collaboration, media literacy, digital content creation (including programming), safety (including digital well-being and competences related to cybersecurity), intellectual property related questions, problem solving and critical thinking.”According to the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) report from 2018; in 2017, 43% of the EU population had an insufficient level of digital skills, and 17% had not at all. There are proportionally more men than women with at least basic digital skills (respectively, 60 % and 55 %). In addition, only about 31 % of people with low education levels or no education have at least basic digital skills. This figure is also significantly lower among those living in rural areas (49 %), who tend to be relatively older, than for their city-dwelling counterparts (63 %). The EC paper Digital Education Plan states that 51% of European Citizens don’t feel informed about how to deal with cyberthreats. The lack of digital skills also puts adult people at risk of marginalization, 42% of citizens with no computer skills are inactive in the labour market (Source: The European Digital Competence Framework for Citizens).

<< Objectives >>ALiVE project aims at fostering the media and information literacy (MIL) of citizens and raise awareness of its key importance in today’s highly digitalize and globalize society, where we have easy access to incredible amounts of information, specially online, making it difficult to assess critically. In particular, targeting seniors (adults over 45), that have less learning opportunities to foster these skills, that are attractive, updated and directly tailor to their gaps.<< Implementation >>ALiVE will engage seniors in the development of a Methodological Framework of competencies in MIL, to later develop a curricula and interactive learning materials focus on the competencies they need. The content will be available in the Learning Stations in the metaverse, that will be piloted with seniors and accessible to any citizen. The Learning Stations will be hosted in a 3D virtual space, to provide an immersive learning experience, the start of a growing virtual community of learners.<< Results >>The project will improve media and information literacy, critical thinking, and digital citizen skills of 75 seniors participating in the pilot. And raise awareness of the importance of MIL among education providers, and decision and policy makers. The main result is the Learning Stations in the ALiVE virtual Environment, a space that can be scalable, and improve overtime; and more important, provide a quality learning experience in real-time thanks to the features of 3D virtual environments.

Covid pandemic many adults need to re-balance and reshape themselves in order to foster innovation, leadership and entrepreneurship. Low self esteem, unemployment, social disconnection, lack of motivation, the feeling of being left behind in a changing environment, are some of the problems that many adults are facing in this Covid nightmare. Accordingly, we have to set up a different methodology to engage them within the EU strategies for long life learning. For this group dance has a very attractive appeal. Dancing itself is for adults a traditional way of social inclusion. So, it will act as an attraction factor for the disconnected. In that point we follow Sidorkin’s (2007) methodological approach, when he remarks that educational tools must have the capacity to attract and retain participant’s interest. Therefore, combining dance with mindfulness+applied psychology, they will develop their skills in order to foster leadership and innovation in a dynamic, inclusive and attractive environment.Aims of the project: Output results:Project management procedures and project plans (Work plan, monitoring and reporting (M&R), communication and dissemination activities, quality plan) agreed and monitored by project coordinator. 4 transnational meetings realized. O1. Research document. Best practices in dance+mindfulness+positive psychology in adult education and development of skills through non-formal training activities. O2. Online course for teachers, trainers and dancing groups. O3. Video learning pills for adult training. Outcome results:Orbis will lead a national network of mindfulness accredited professionalsOrbis will define the steps to be the first Slovakian accredited association in mindfulness in the medium term. At least a dance group per partner country will be taught in this new methodology.Enhanced knowledge about mindfulness, positive psychology, dancing and skills development, including leadership and creativity. (At least 14 best practices identified in the topic).Enhanced practical skills to train adults in the dancefulness methodology in at least 200 people enrolled on the online course and 12 participants on the C1 training activity. Enhanced dancing skills and leadership and creativity skills from people from people impacted by youtube videos.
