Having considered the four main strategic objectives for the ET 2020 framework and in particular its strategic objectives of improving the quality and efficiency of education and training and that all citizens need to be able to acquire key competencies and all levels of education and training need to be made more attractive and efficient, we believe that educational establishments have a great role in advancing the level of education of many learners and adapting to the socio-demographic and economical changes occurring in Europe, which can prove difficult if pedagogical structures remain unchanged. The real challenge to educators beyond the rhetoric is to formulate learning experiences that appeal to target learners, attracting and retaining participants up to and beyond the point where positive benefits are evident. Therefore, this project primarily aimed to provide educators with learning and teaching methodologies and pedagogical approaches to deliver key competencies and basic skills such as literacy and languages.The main focus of the project was therefore to increase the competencies of teachers in providing learners in adult education with the key essential skills they need for fulfillment in society. The project focused especially on the development of methodologies around three existing bodies of knowledge and techniques, namely Creative Thinking, Informal Learning and ICT in the development of literacy and language skills, which are considered catalysts in today's European society and activation.The consortium brings together the collective experience, knowledge and skills of 4 organisations from 4 different countries in Europe. The consortium included public and private organisations representing the adult education and the higher education sector, all having good networks with contacts at local, regional, national and European levels, providing a good geographical representation in Europe: UK- Language Education And Partnerships LTD (LEAP Ltd); DE- Volkshochschule im Landkreis Cham e.V. (VHS Cham); HR- SVEUCILISTE U ZAGREBU, UCITELIJSKI FACULTY (UoZ - Faculty of Teacher Education); IT- Centro per l'Istruzione degli Adulti (CPIA).A structured approach to the project development was employed on the basis of shared collaborative principles through which partners engaged in a number of planned activities in order to achieve the following results:•a set of guidelines around the key principles of creative thinking;•a training package which includes a set of modules around the key thematic areas of creative thinking•a compilation of good practice examples around the key thematic areas•a project portal which will include interactive training materials and a repository•multiplier events (1 in each country) as a tools for mainstreaming the project results and materials•DVD for raising awareness of the project tools/outputs and training materials•a professional development course plan for delivering of the project outputs even after the project officially ends.The main target groups for the activities of this project were:*Teachers and educators of literacy and languages*Teacher trainers of such staff*Advisors with a role to support and improve teaching and learning within the adult education sector*Curriculum designers and managers *Learners themselves through the staff implementing the new creative teaching methods in literacy and languages teaching and learningAround 179 activities took place at dissemination level to ensure the above audiences were reached. Amongst the tools used to support the partnership reach its target audience:2 Newsletters, emails, website, social media presence through Facebook and Twitter, 3 flyers, partners links on own websitepresentation at conferences/workshops/seminars/ training events, 4 multiplier events and etc. The project has and will continue to impact in the short and long term on the ability of adult education providers, teachers, educators, trainers and learners as it aims to support changes directly into the wider educational community. We would hope that the project will continue to impact on the educational community as it provides replicable and freely accessible materials which can be embedded in practice. Therefore, we believe that the project results as they will remain embedded in the partners' practice and will continue to remain available and promoted to the wider community, there are long term benefits which include:* Direct access to creative thinking methods and tools within a European focus* Improve literacy and language learners to be better and more active in society and improve engagement levels, especially of those at risk of exclusion e.g. migrant learners dropouts etc. by raising the educators’ skills and competences in providing effective learning situation for adults.
