R(AE)L INCLUSION project’s focus is on adults with learning and behavioural difficulties and disabilities and adult educators working in different adult education programmes. The project aims to educate adult educators to approach and respond to the needs of the adult learners, through different teaching methods and strategies, in order to support and provide them with a wider opportunity for learning, education, employment, and social interaction. Instead of developing and implementing new programs designed especially for people with disabilities, educators will be prepared to work with the target group in regular classes together with other adult learners. In this way, inclusion will be achieved, and the classroom will be a space for socialization and interaction between a diverse group of adults.
During the project life-cycle, the following results are expected:
In-Service Training Programme for Adult Educators comprising 30 hours of face-to-face learning and 20 hours of online learning.
Virtual Toolkit: set of tasks and an e-Diary for adult educators to complete and reflect on their work and performance after the completion of the training programme.
Online Platform for e-learning containing 50 hours of the online training programme
