“Boosting Individual Competences” (BIC), was a strategic partnership for adult education based on the cooperation for innovation and exchange of good practices between four partners. The partnership involved: Volkshochschule Olching e.V. , VHS Olching, Germany (coordinator); Federación de Colectivos de Educación de Personas Adultas de Valladolid, FeCEAV, Spain; Centro Provinciale per l'Istruzione degli Adulti - CPIA di Padova, Italy; GRETA du Velay- Lyéee Charles et Adrien Dupuy, Le Puy-en-Velay, France. Details of each partner: see http://www.bic-project.eu/partner/Duration: 27 months (from 01-10-16 to 31-12-18).The partners had all been working before on Grundtvig projects with the Adult Education Centre of Olching. One of their intentions was to broaden results reached in former projects - especially in LLL projects “Voices in Pictures” (VIP) and “Visualisation” - in which the thematic priority was teaching with the help of visual tools. One objective was to develop further methodological approaches such as Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) and Learning with all Senses. Partners aimed at improving and extending the offer of high quality learning opportunities for adults through the exchange of good practices, especially where literacy, numeracy, language and general knowledge courses were concerned. They supported integration efforts in Europe under consideration of the urgent needs of steps leading to inclusion in the longer term.A key objective was to exchange experiences with regard to relevant educational steps to be done in order to meet the needs of the newcomers in European countries. In international meetings and in home countries, teams reflected on that subject, discussed and tested different tools: the result was - as arranged in the project application - the PAPER with the title “Definition of Relevant Educational Steps to Facilitate Inclusion” (D.R.E.S.F.I.). D.R.E.S.F.I. was edited, printed, distributed, uploaded on the project website (www.bic-project.eu) and presented at the CULT session of the European Commission on November 8, 2018 in Brussels.To enhance basic skills and key competences in adult schooling, BIC project developed resources specifically meant for adults with low language or basic skills competences or illiterates who needed to improve their education. This further objective was realised: Didactical material, games and resources were created, tested and evaluated with the cooperation of learners. They are at free disposal for all with a creative commons licence on the project website. Collections of drawings related to jobs and skills were especially created to break through the obstacles due to language boundaries. Scarf of Solidarity: as mentioned in the application form the four players of the partnership created a scarf: squares of 20x20 cm were knitted and sewed in all countries with the help of many hands (learners, teachers, followers, friends, …). The objective was to campaign for solidarity in Europe as one of the most important values of the European Union. With a length of 18,6 m. and the messages sowed on it, the “Scarf of Solidarity” visualised this social cohesion. It was presented in a flash mob, on YouTube videos and finally handed over to the Members of the CULT committee of the European Commission in Brussels on November 8, 2018. To reach their objectives and for concerted planning of the project progress partners came together at five international meetings: one in each country and the last one in Brussels/Belgium as they were expected at the European Commission. Teams´ meetings and workshops took place regularly in each country. Resources were created, tested and evaluated in the course of the partnership with the involvement of learners. Administrative and financial issues were regularly controlled; the financial agreement between partners, the timetable, the repartition of tasks and all further arrangements were at no time altered. International meetings were evaluated with the help of an online tool.BIC was a very successful partnership with high-impact on the partners´ institutions, the teams and learners, local and European educational/public sector entities – especially because of the relevance of the treated topics but also due to the large dissemination of the results.
