Promoting social inclusion of women, aged over 50, low-qualified, unemployed, and developing educators’ profile through education by art

Description

The main focus of our project lay on responsible use of education by art to develop key competences in women, combating discrimination and gender inequality, valuing and reinforcing inclusion, diversity and equality, fostering socio-educational and professional development. Also, to enhance educators’ competences through an effective implementation of these artistic expressions in their daily professional routines. We applied the model of knowledge construction, real-world problem solving, self-regulation and skilled communication. Not only did we engage in interdisciplinary workshops to explore familiar things in new context, but also worked on innovation in familiar context. In parallel, we focused on trainer and learner autonomy, attention and effort, upgrade feedback and measurable outcomes. This project celebrate a creative collaboration between CFPIMM, a non-profit public body oriented for vocational training for youngsters and adults from Portugal, an association promoting a Senior Mentor Program team at schools from Hungary, an Education Adult Centre from Lithuania, Kuressaare Gymnasium´s education and training center Osilia, from Estonia, and International College, from Poland, responsible for running language courses and learning programs for mature adults (50+).During a two-year project period, we held two learning, teaching and training activities. 25-29 March 2019, 20 learners and 8 educators gathered for LTTA 1 in Lordelo, Portugal, to develop the following competences, in women: communication, commitment, interpersonal relationship, team work, creativity, decision-making, basic health and food care and in educators: communication, adaptability, versatility, flexibility to work with differentiated pedagogy and innovative methodologies. 10-14 February 2020, 20 learners and 8 educators gathered for LTTA 2 in Gdańsk, Poland, to develop, both in women and educators: autonomy, critical thinking, responsibility, assertiveness, problem solving, entrepreneurship, creative potential and sense of humor.For the project management purposes, we had two transnational project meetings. 24-25 October 2018, 10 educators met for the kick-off meeting in Panevezys, Lithuania, to discuss the project activities in close and sign the partnership agreement. 6-7 September 2019, 10 teachers met for the second transnational project meeting in Kuressaare, Estonia, to reflect on the activities already carry out; report on the results achieved and to plan the LTTA yet to come. Is was planned for July 2020, the third transnational project meeting to finalize the project, evaluate its general and specific outcomes, discuss further dissemination activities and prepare the final report, but unfortunately due to the pandemic crises was not possible to do it. The extension of the project was asked in June 2020 and we had the approval for more 3 months to finish the project, till 30th November. The final meeting was planned for October 2020, but, unfortunately, the pandemic situation got worse and it was not possible to finish the project as planned. The project website http://moveonproject.eu/ was constructed and developed as a dissemination tool and a repository for learner and educator outputs, but we also used as a platform for learning. The pages published so far feature ample evidence of project outcomes and outputs via transnational and local activities. Also, the photos, videos and posts on social media help to disseminate the impact this project had on the participants. The project most important results “Creative Book” can be accessed via the project website. More than 50 pages show a dynamic story telling written by multiple hands in different countries. This Book is the most important output of our partnership as summarizes the best of education by art.The learners of this partnership have learned to appreciate education by art as well as intercultural communication skills. Also, they have grown more flexible, adaptable, self-motivated and responsible. The educators have developed their professional skills, broadened their intercultural experience and enjoyed variation everyday classroom practice. The partners enjoy better educator-learner relationships, more ICT used in teaching and learning, as well as stronger pan-European perception in their curricula.Local authorities highly appreciate this project for helping woman aged over 50 become more active citizens. Regionally and nationally, the partner organizations inspire others to set up transnational partnerships that relish intensive intercultural interaction. Europe-wide, our partnership promotes democracy, human rights and respect.
