The "One Step Up" project set out to improve access to lifelong learning for marginalized adults with low skill levels or qualifications, addressing the educational barriers faced by groups such as the long-term unemployed, migrants, and refugees. Key objectives included providing accessible, high-quality learning opportunities to re-engage these groups in education, thereby fostering their social inclusion and economic integration. The project also focused on enhancing the digital and andragogical skills of adult educators, equipping them with the necessary tools to offer more flexible, engaging, and inclusive learning pathways tailored to low-skilled adults. By developing innovative resources like micro-learning modules and hosting community learning festivals, "One Step Up" aimed to create bite-sized, accessible learning formats that effectively lower traditional barriers to education. This approach supports greater social cohesion, empowers disadvantaged adults, and enhances employability across the EU, contributing to more inclusive and resilient communities.
