Due to migration movements , the influence of globalization and diversification tendencies in society, there is a need to strengthen inclusion in Europe to avoid social disharmony. It is important to encourage intercultural awareness and to create social cohesion within our diverse societies helped via digital and thinking tools. Language learning through digital tools and critical thinking fosters social inclusion and integration of citizens with different cutural, religious and educational backgrounds. Also, it helps people to exchange and to converge as well as to broaden their way of thinking and to increase employability. This project helps to achieve digital literacy based on the information we get from technical devices, which are shaping how adults and youth interact with each other in school, at home, and at large. How youth use multiple forms of media and technology, in concert with their commitments to community dialogue and social justice, as they learn to be participants in civic and democratic practices. Students can become aware of how to process the immense load of information we are facing nowadays and how to deal it efficiently. Three Adult Education Institutions from Spain, Austria and Italy took part in the project and all 3 have a very diverse learner groups and many immigrants: 1.- EOI Ronda, an Official Language School , which offered the efectiveness of blending learning and generational gaps teaching approach. 2.- Institut für Interdisziplinäre Bildung: Offered THINK Innovativ,THINK Interdisciplinary, THINK outside the Box. They support schools in the development and implementation of an eEducation school concept for the school location. 3.- Euroform RFS: Offered its experience and contribution in innovative learning methods towards visually impaired people using IT aids, and specific devices meant to cope early leavers and also with adult learners with the aim of filling the gap between traditional training methods and the ones related to visually impaired people. They are specialized in training and career guidance a wide range of courses, as IT and languages, in several sectors. Each partner organized a schedule of LANCET meetings to work in three spheres: digital tools, critical thinking and blended learning. partners from Italy presented he digital tool KIALO, a Visit to “World International School of Torino”, International private school, promoter of critical thinking development, and the Management meeting @ Euroform RFS office was explained. Also, they presented the tool Animaker (https://www.animaker.com/). A platform for beginners, non-designers & professionals to create Animation and Live-Action videos (linked to visual thinking concept). It helps to team up our students into multiple workgroups, share projects and get instant feedback, and it instantly tracks our students’ progress with creative assignments. Austria presented a virtual lesson on BEEBOT'S, A SIMPLE TOOL TO LEARN NOT ONLY CODING where we got an insight into elementary robotics and programming with the help of codes. Learnig Coding encourages the analytical & foresighted thinking. Partners from Spain predented G-Suite & Moodle:• Google tools and services tailored for schools and homeschools; Manfred Spitzer´s reseach which shows that society changes due to the use of TV, Video, Computers and Mobiles, digital gadgetsin general, for instance, the more TV children watch the less (and lower) education they get, plus less attention by theirparents; blended learning, Technology approach: benefits and drawbacks. We increase our competence in the above areas, through learning from each other, from organizing and participating in workshops and from participating in the language classes of our partner institutions. We want to focus on learners as well as teachers and want to increase the intercultural and digital competences of adult educators and their qualifications in the area of social inclusion. Blended learning offers a new field to improve digital skills for adults with little time to attend formal learning. Comparative analysis given by each partner´s experience teaching in these fileds has enhanced the European dimension of our transnationality. And with critical thinking skills we can be trusted to make decisions independently, and will not need constant handholding. The participation in project implemention results in self-confidence, self-esteem , opportunities to gain enjoyment and satisfaction from joint work for the favour of the Educational Institutions. The project builds the use of digital media, thinking tools and blended learning to develope different types of intelligence as well as the individual identity and pride of success. By implementing the porject´s goals we acquire various skills necessary for the current job market and in interpersonal contacts and ongoing projects.
