Solidarity4Digitally Literate Societies

<< Background >>Our project was created to strengthen digital competence, one of the key competences included in 'Lifelong Learning' in the European Qualifications Framework (EQF). Our Digi4ALL project revealed innovative ICT solutions focused on digital solutions, applications, platforms, collaborative environments, and new technologies. The project enabled participants to deepen their digital knowledge and equipped them with the necessary competencies and skills to function. It aimed to meet the European targets, which stated that high-quality education and training were essential to foster smart, sustainable, and inclusive growth, including adult competences. It contributed to enriching resources with modern working styles and methods and raised the language skills of adults while acquiring all these skills.In adult education, an innovative teaching environment was created for adults by learning and using the intellectual output of the project. The digital platform consisted of web 2.0 tools such as Google Blogger, Art, Culture, Cardboard, Expeditions, Maps, Calendar, Forms, YouTube applications, and Google tools. It facilitated the strengthening of communication skills of adults, more efficient use of technology for their personal developm<< Objectives >>The goals of our project were to strengthen the future-oriented curriculum by integrating digital citizenship education for adults with fewer opportunities (elderlies, disabled individuals, refugees, stay-at-home mothers/women). We aimed to strengthen digital skills and support the resilience of the disadvantaged group. We gathered information about the innovative digital tools used across Europe and disseminated them among our relevant stakeholders. The Intellectual Output (IO) / e-platform (modules) developed Future Oriented Curricula.Competencies and digital skills of linguistic and communicative institutions were developed, and prejudices against cultural differences and diversity were addressed. With the rapid development of technology in the 21st century, adults were informed about digital ethical issues, personal data rights in the online environment, the future of technology, fake news, etc. In order to gain all this information, a web application platform was developed, and workshops were held on online security, e-health, cyberbullying, and digital democracy. Some non-formal education methods were used during the project implementation, such as games, ice breakers, interactive presentations, online research, group talks<< Implementation >>2TPMs (Kick-off staff/final meeting), 2LTTs, IO, Multiplier Events aimed to increase digital literacy were organized.Awareness raising campaigns were conducted.Brochures were handed out.Each country fed the e-learning platform with information on how to use digital tools in English and their respective languages.Websites, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube channels were created.Online courses and certificates from e-platforms and MOOCs, conferences, using Google Sites, developing surveys, creating blogs, implementationIt supported disadvantaged groups of adults by providing personal, socio-educational, and professional development opportunities, with the principle of inclusiveness. Individuals from different cultural, social, and economic backgrounds were given Erasmus+ opportunities. It created educational opportunities and facilitated the exchange of experiences among adults, thereby creating learning opportunities aimed at building and strengthening the European identity for adults with fewer opportunities.<< Results >>Our project enabled digitally literate societies by training qualified European citizens who realized lifelong learning while developing key competences in adults who supported the goals of Erasmus+ 2021-2027 and the Digital Education Action Plan. As a result of our project, we obtained the following outputs: IO; e-learning platform (e-modules), Europass/ MOOC PLT & certificates, logos, videos, questionnaires, tests, presentations, surveys, brochures, virtual web 2.0 tools, word walls, bubbl.us.With our project, individuals' thinking and communication skills, social skills such as participation, sharing, cooperation, and self-confidence developed. Professional skills of trainers were also promoted, and strengthening their institutions increased their prestige in the region. Institutions shared their good experiences, and strong cooperation between institutions in Europe fostered innovative teaching approaches to strengthen non-formal learning. Our project was an output-oriented project and created an innovative curriculum for adults and trainers. Competencies and digital skills of linguistic and communicative institutions were developed, and prejudices against cultural differences were addressed.
