By creating appropriate training (adaptive curriculum and educational materials), the representatives of the target groups will increase their knowledge, skills and motivation to actively participate in social life. On the other hand, the training materials aim to support the experts working with them - trainers, social workers, psychologists, by providing appropriate developmental trainings. In the long term, the project aims to support the lifelong development and strengthening of key competences necessary for personal development and fulfilment, employability, active citizenship and social inclusion. As a result of the project, the partner organisations will acquire the know-how to implement training activities tailored to the specific needs of the learners, as well as tools to help them achieve economic independence and remove the barriers they face in education and social contacts. Educational materials will be used in the work of organizations with at-risk groups in the community to support and motivate them to be active members of the society.
