Invitation for Day 2: more examples and more exchange
- We would welcome even more examples of adult learning initiatives where digital learning plays a role.
- Furthermore, it would be good to find crosslinks between projects and initiatives. For instance on intergenerational learning (for instanceSINDI and "My Mom is learning to use computer" both relate to intergenerational learning)

Results of Day 1 discussion
- SINDI – Social inclusion through digital literacy and intergenerational learning: The objective is to promote social inclusion and the motivation of older people through innovative integrated approaches, such as intergenerational learning at local, regional and international level, and increasing the level of digital competence of older people, promoting innovative digital skills teaching techniques, developing and disseminating learning materials and tools that are also applicable in other European countries.
- “My Mom Is Learnıng To Use Computer” Project: Parents who can not catch up with developing technology can't support their children's education very much. Within the scope of "My Mom is Learning to use Computer" project, all mothers are being aimed to use computer and internet effectively."My Mom is Learning to use Computer" project aims to give the mothers computer training in the KIEM computer lab at the Public Training Center in the hours that they have idle time. Through this, parents will have the knowledge to contribute more to their children's education.
- The AgriWorker digital project: The AGRIworker app is an e-tool designed directly for the migrant agricultural workers. Here they can learn about the most common questions that arise about working conditions in agriculture in the project countries such as payment rates, holiday entitlements and how to understand the payslip. The agricultural worker can also learn about their possibilities of lifelong learning and basic knowledge of the country of work.

The AgriWorker digital project
How to combine worker's rights and digital competences for migrant agricultural workers? 7 partners from 4 countries are making the attempt to develop a web-app, exploring new ways to create a digital learning platform for migrant workers about their worker's rights when working in agriculture in 4 specific countries
The background of the project
The future is digital, also in agriculture. The ERASMUS+ "sowing the seeds" is as the name is indicating sowing the seeds to develop digital competences of migrant workers in agriculture where very few digital learning solutions exist.
The target group is migrant workers from Eastern and Southern parts of Europe who travel to North and Western Europe to seek temporary and seasonal employment to supplement their income at home. These workers have often limited basic skills and few local language skills in the country of work. This group of workers are therefore exposed to exploitation, accepting joboffers with pay- and working conditions below the national standards.
The AGRIworker app is an e-tool designed directly for the migrant agricultural workers. Here they can learn about the most common questions that arise about working conditions in agriculture in the project countries such as payment rates, holiday entitlements and how to understand the payslip. The agricultural worker can also learn about their possibilities of lifelong learning and basic knowledge of the country of work.
The learning approach of the APP
Have the smartphone at the center of our source and learning platform, the app attempts to work with alternative and interactive learning strategies and methods engaging the migrant agricultural workers to develop their digital skills. Therefore, the project has put efforts into providing texts in an easy. The project also explore different ways of gamification to interact and to support the learning process of the target group.
The partners behind the project
The Agriworker project is based on a strong partners ship of trade unions, counseling employment associations an interest organizations, agricultural chambers and vocational learning center in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Poland.
Inspiration and further outreach
As the web-APP is and European digital tool, the APP is not only a tool for migrant workers in the country of the project holders. The web-APP can be a tool for all agricultural workers in the project countries and is therefore intended to e included in the general training programmes of shopstewards and other union and chamber representatives in the partner countries.
It is also the hope that the Agriworker APP can be of inspiration to other trades and branches on how to develop alternative digital learning activities for adult learneres with limited digital skills.

Very interesting project!
I´m working at the Agricultural University of Iceland, and we offer education for the horticultural and agricultural field in Iceland. Your project is very interesting for us in Iceland since we have more and more workers, especially in the horticultural field, that are from Eastern Europe. In Iceland the biggest group of immigrants are from Poland, and quite many of them are working in the horticultural field and lacking language skills. It will be very interested to follow your project and see the outcome. Good luck with it.
