Erasmus+ - ROMAE – Role Models in Adult Education

General Aim
The project aims at building a network of positive reference figures for adult education. Such figures will contribute to adult education activities aiming at social inclusion and active citizenship according to the fundamental values of the European Union. They will act as narrators of their own stories of social redemptions and bearers of common values in all institutions where adult education takes place, such as schools, associations, etc.

Implementation
The projects aims at supporting improving and enriching skills and knowledge of educators working with disadvantaged, socially excluded, marginalized and/or deprived adults. Staff of partner institutions will meet in workshops aiming at research and study of figures that can be elected as symbols of resilience. Through exchange and discussion participants will outline criteria, themes and features of the rference figures. They will single out persons and educational methodologies to make them closer to adults learners. It is not exclude, if possbile, the participation of the reference figures themselves to take part in mobilities or educational activities carried out in partner organisations.
Workshops will make use of active methodologies: cooperative learning, debates, flipped classroom.
