The S.A.E. Smart Adult Education project ((hereinafter SAE) is a strategic innovation partnership project implemented in the field of adult education, lasting 24 Months (December 2018-November 2020). SAE supported and fostered the qualification process of operators and teachers working with fragile adults by providing new tools, techniques and working methods based on digital opportunities. The project has been an important opportunity for educators, operators and teachers to enhance their digital skills in order to evaluate, plan and manage new and effective interventions aimed at bridging the relational and social gap imposed by the regulations.The project has developed three main Intellectual Outputs:1. The SAE WEB App (https://www. smartadulteducation.eu/) is the result of an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of existing similar products developed by partners at the design stage. The partners have imagined a product that can be used on all digital devices, especially smartphones, a place for interaction between different types of users, containing innovative digital methodologies, a place for orientation towards lifelong learning choices. The Web App is characterized by the presence of 4 areas: The SAE Guide, the Digital Learning Toolkit, the Competence Assessment Toolkit, the Archive or Repository.2. The SAE WebApp User Guide is the operational reference for using the Platform. The Multimedia Guide that the partners have produced, collects: how to use the WebApp in detail; how to design and apply the evaluation tools (E-Assessment/Results). It helps teachers, professional educators and volunteers, working in the field of adult learning and education, to make the best use of the operational tools available on the Smart Adult Education Platform.3. The SAE E-Assessment Toolkit provides assessment and self-assessment tools that measure the skills possessed by fragile adults and any changes that may have occurred as a result of targeted learning pathways. The Toolkit offers four integrated working tools which are: SMARTY, a simulator for self-assessment of skills; the SAE Matrix, a matrix for interpreting the answers given by adults with Smarty; the Evaluator Register, a guide for accessing and processing Smarty data; the Reasoned Catalogue, a reasoned collection of experiences references and references.The teachers / educators / training operators directly involved in the project activities were about 500, while the adults with low skills and/or low qualifications about 230.SAE has involved 4 European countries (Italy, Spain, Romania, and Greece) and has promoted the digital approach within organizations engaged in adult education in these contexts, spreading the use of the digital tools produced. In total, around 250,000 people were reached directly or indirectly through social media, especially during the pandemic and the regulation of social distances, and through interpersonal meetings. Articles, blog posts, social media and attendance at Multiplier Events were crucial for the dissemination of the project’s results. This broad involvement has fostered the spread of a model and tools that can be easily replicated in different contexts from the social, economic, educational, etc. point of view.The active participation of the world of adult lifelong learning was encouraged during the project. Local Working Groups were set up in the 4 territories, where educators and teachers discussed the training needs in terms of digital tools and innovative learning methodologies. In addition, meetings and discussions were organised with experts from the academic world and training for the sharing and development of content.The SAE project has been innovative for all the subjects of the partnership and for the subjects involved, enhancing, developing and spreading a new way of conceiving digital as a daily work tool, making available new digital products, strengthening the methodological-professional skills of educators and teachers and, ultimately, bringing a contribution to the innovation of a mode of intervention - the digital one - more and more necessary to act effectively towards fragile adults.
