    """LIDS - Learning important digital skills"" is a project, which intends to disseminate good practices at European level through the training of trainers, who can provide digital skills, particularly in the use of social networks applied to the world of work to disadvantaged adults. The main point is to find out, which ""digital learning content"" is important to learn for persons, who are underskilled. This list of digital skills will form the LIDS Curriculum.As part of this project, all partners involved gain insights into how our European neighbours are working with online and face to face educational formats and how to use the many tools in their own lessons. By participating, all participants will be part of a European know-how transfer in the field of digital teaching and learning approaches between the participating adult education centres and various educational institutions.The professional development of those working in the adult education sector is a determining factor in the quality of learning.The initial training procedures for staff working in the adult education sector are important and decisive for the future success of the educational action.Through international mobility, the partnership and participants will be able to know different training, working methods and cultural conditions. They will transmit the new knowledge to a significant number of other stakeholders.Comparison of different work or different education systems, combined with the specialist skills of training providers and European strategies, is the most suitable way to provide clarification answers.TARGET GROUPS OF THE PROJECT LIDS are Educators in Adult Education Centres teaching disadvantaged adults, organizations for adult education and stakeholders for adult education, e.g. local authorities, companies, employment centres, policy makers, professionals and researchers.RESULTS, EVENTS AND OUTCOME OF THE PROJECT ""LIDS - Learning important digital skills"" are1. LIDS Manual as a digital book in WORD- and PDF-Format containing comparative studies in Europe on methods of approach and on necessary content of learning digital skills in the use of ICT for disadvantaged adults. LIDS will show in this manual a possible Curriculum for these necessary skills.2. LIDS Training Course in PowerPoint-Format for organizations staff on how to relate and approach disadvantaged adults and help them to use digital tools applied to the way of work. Each partner develops one specific topic on the digital skills that should be learned.3. LIDS Training Events aimed at adult educators and/or disadvantaged adults. Each partner performs this exercise in their own organization and documents the process through reports, photos, films, and surveys.4. LIDS Transnational Project Meetings: The TPMs are significant parts of the project. That's why each country is visited twice to get to know the peculiarities better."

    DiM Project, designed by CPIA AVELLINO to support the teaching and learning of the Italian language, consists of an online multilingual dictionary for students and teachers of schools and organizations engaged in language teaching for foreign students.Its main objectives include the creation of an online multilingual dictionary based on the most widely spoken languages among students of partner institutions at A1 level (set by the CEFR), hosted on a free platform. Designed to enhance the sociolinguistic heritage of foreign students and to promote active participation of schools and pupils, it emphasizes linguistic and social inclusion as a means of integration.DiM was created in collaboration with 6 partners: CPIA Benevento, which until 2016 was part of CPIA Avellino; CPIA Ravenna, a keen supporter of DiM since the project was first presented at a CPIAs’ interregional seminar; Active Citizens Partnership, an NGO based in Greece experienced in working with migrants and refugees; Future Focus Ltd, an adult training centre in Malta which offers lifelong learning opportunities; IMS Research & Development Center, a private school located in Cyprus that places emphasis on issues of gender equality and social inclusion, attracting students of different nationalities; 36.6 Competence Centre, located in Scotland, with experience in training programs for adults facing problems in acquiring the language of the host country. Each partner collected linguistic data for 2 languages: their own and another language chosen from among the most widely spoken by their students. In addition, profiles were created for each of the languages and countries represented. CPIA Avellino coordinated the various phases and activities of the project; established the format for the collection of linguistic data; processed the data by creating the database of the online dictionary and designed the DiM Project website.The project resulted in: 1. the creation of an online multilingual dictionary (dictionary.dimproject.net), mounted on a digital platform and made available free of charge. Eleven languages are included: Bambara, Bengali, Farsi, Russian, Tagalog, Tigrinya, Wolof, Italian, Greek, English and Maltese. The interface is very simple, can be accessed from any device and is designed to be used by all, including those with low literacy levels. It allows embedding, so the dictionary can be included in any other website. Each headword (500 entries per language) includes audio; a schematic drawing (where possible); transliteration in the Latin alphabet; a definition of the word and its grammatical description. Drawings were made by students for some languages; also included are semantic lists, linguistic profiles containing descriptions of the main characteristics of each language and examples of activities. 2. The building of the project website (dimproject.net).The DiM project afforded great opportunities for human and professional enrichment resulting from the exchange of experiences between the different partners, as well as between students and teachers from several countries.During the data revision phase, language experts from the “Università degli Studi di Napoli L'Orientale” were consulted. The project, deemed a valid tool by this group of academics, aroused their interest and led them to offer us advice and guidance. In addition, they also introduced us to several other experts from different universities. The DiM Multiplier Event, held on 7 November 2020, provided an opportunity to share the project’s findings, to demonstrate the dictionary’s uses and to reflect and exchange views on current practices relating to the welcoming and inclusion of migrants. The participants included representatives from government institutions, civil society and the Secondary and Higher Education sectors, teachers, students, cultural mediators and people working with migrants. The result was a webinar in which topics such as the complex relationships between oral and written languages in developing countries, as well as the importance of documenting and preserving minority and often endangered languages were touched upon. Some schools, cultural associations and organizations have already requested the dictionary for use within their own institutions.Emanating from the multiplier event was Prof Ilaria Micheli’s proposal to discuss and reflect on the same themes but from an academic perspective, aiming to collect a number of extended and more in-depth versions of the webinar presentations to be brought together as a book published by the EUT (Edizioni Università di Trieste) in the series ATrA - African Transition. The project also resulted in a fruitful collaboration between school teachers and academics, in particular in the domain of adult education. Key players involved in the project were enriched by the exchange, resulting in the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the University of Naples L’ Orientale and CPIA Avellino.

    Sexuality is a source of energy of life, necessary for the growth and development of each one of us. When we talk about people with intellectual diversity, in many cases it is seen as a threat. There is a widespread belief that they will not be able to channel all this energy, which can even be dangerous for themselves or their environment, and too often we have seen how this source has been prevented by preventing its development. By preventing sexuality from flowing naturally, preventing access to the necessary supports to understand and channel positively their sexual development, what is achieved is to put one's own growth in crisis, all that unchanneled energy ends up exploding like a Geyser and inadequate sexual behavior begins to occur.Sexual education is the transmission of information and knowledge adapted to the capacity of understanding of each one; relevant answers to all questions always in terms of truth, using the occasions that arise spontaneously in everyday life (both at school and at home); integration in the program and in the global educational process. Sex education provides the individual with the necessary tools and training on how to channel their sexual energy, and allow this source to flow responsibly and satisfactorily.The SEXINLIFE project will allow the exchange of good practices among related entities on the sexual education of people with intellectual disability. This will allow professionals to offer a quality sexual education in their Centers of attention to people with intellectual disability. They will allow families to have reference elements contributed by other peers, other relatives who have lived through the same space of insecurity and fear. And they will know in first voice the results of providing life opportunities to their daughters and sons in the voice of the daughters and children of other relatives. It will allow people with diversity who have long been beneficiaries of sex education to have a shuttle from which to turn their life experiences and on the other hand to people who have not yet had access to this education will give them the possibility that in their centers can be launched and know the resources needed to develop sex education programs, complete, from a sexological perspective.The general objective of SENINLIFE is to exchange good practices among the professionals of the Centers that work with people with intellectual diversity, to share knowledge, resources and tools on Sexual education for people with intellectual and / or functional diversity, which allows to increase the quality of life of this group and their families, thus guaranteeing their active inclusion in society.The specific objectives of the project are:- Give voice to the sexual rights of people with intellectual diversity.- Open the concept of sexuality from a sexological approach; in the plane of sexual identity, sexual affectivity and sexual behavior.- Exchange knowledge and methodological resources for sexual education adapted to the needs of understanding the different levels of cognitive impairment.- Support families to see sexuality as an opportunity for life and growth and not as a problem.- Create a network of resources for people with intellectual diversity, families and professionals.- Transfer successful experiences to Centers that want to develop sex education.The Project Association is composed by 5 organizations from five EU Member States: 3 from Southern Europe (Spain, Portugal and Cyprus), one from Central Europe (Poland) and one from Eastern Europe (Bulgaria). This broad coverage of the EU territory will help to collect, compare and share experiences between different countries that share a need: to develop Sexual education for people with intellectual diversity, in territories with little or no development of this topic of fundamental importance. At the same time, it will help reach a large number of stakeholders, and establish joint working networks at European level.The partners of the project are:- San Xerome Emiliani Association (Spain)- Bulgarian Association for Persons with Intellectual Disabilities (Bulgaria)- Associacao de cerebral paralysis of Viseu (Portugal)- Stowarzyszenie na Rzecz Spoldzielni Socjalnych (Poland)- IMS Research & Development Center (Cyprus)
