Municipalities Supporting Adult Education 2020-1-LV01-KA204-077426, is an Erasmus+ project aiming at significantly increasing adults’ participation in formal, non-formal and informal learning, both to acquire working skills and to implement active citizenship, investing in the growth of human capital at all levels in order to increase the efficiency of enterprises. Focusing on the educational needs of different target groups – both socially vulnerable and socially and economically active people – MSAE aims at capacity building for SMEs, analysing the digital literacy needs expressed by enterprises, public authorities and, more generally, by the local labour market.

First short-term joint staff training event of MSAE project was organized in September, 22-24, 2021 as a 3-day virtual activity due to unstable situation with covid.

It was focused on methodological and promotional materials tailored for Local Administration and municipalities. The LTTA was organized as transnational training course in order to prepare the staff members to work with the new methodologies and intellectual outputs, as well as to prepare mentors and trainers who will be able to ensure sustainability of the project results in all partner countries. We had discussions how to involve and motivate Municipalities, local administrations or the Central administration for Adult education in boosting their own activities for adult and/or low-skilled workers or unemployed ones. Learners of the partner organizations exchanged/shared materials, best practices and different aspects on how to enhance local municipalities role in supporting adult education.

All partner contributed to the content of the training course.
