Third transnational teaching, training, learning event in Austria – Age Management Masterclass project

Between 3-6 February 2020, a new learning & training meeting was organised in Austria, for Age Management project.

In beautiful Stoob we learnt about Weiberwirtschaft (www.weiberwirtschaft.org) in a context of a social entreprise aimed at helping women having difficulties in joining the working labour market and the age management concept of FBST – Frauenberatungsstelle.

Together with hosts, we discovered age management on the site – the elder trainees at Weiberwirtschaft helped us to learn how to make typical Austrian cookies.

It was a wonderful time and wonderful learning experience!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Start for DICE (Digital competences in Adult Education) project in Rome!

In December 2019, ASIE started a new cooperation in a brand new and innovative project: DICE – Digital competences in Adult Education

Digitalisation – this is the most prominent current term when it comes to describing social change. We encounter the “digital turn” in all fields in our world: in the economy, in trade, in industrial production, in the security industry, in public administration, in medicine, in agriculture, in transport, in the culture and music industry, and – not least – in education.

Project objectives

The overall objective is to create mechanisms that enable the development, the monitoring and the acknowledgment of teachers’ digital intelligence. We will achieve this goal by sharing experiences and knowledge of digital teaching and a virtual library based on knowledge about digital competences in adult education in 6 European countries.

Further aims

a) to assist adult education providers to gain insight into state-of-the-art ICT course description

b) train the teaching skills and digital competences of coaches

c) to increase the motivation and commitment of learners to lifelong learning, esp. new technologies

The extended goal includes the following topics

– Improving the employability of older workers

– Improving self-confidence through adult digital skills development ]

– New teaching approaches to support teachers and trainers

– Provide tools for all adult education providers

First meeting in Rome was a good opportunity for all partners to present their expertise and knowledge on the topic and set the main mainframe for the future mutual activities.
