CENTROS VIRTUALES DE APRENDIZAJE DE PERSONAS ADULTAS E2.0C: UNA OPORTUNIDAD PARA POTENCIAR LA INCLUSIÓN A TRAVÉS DE LA ACCIÓN EDUCATIVA Y LA PARTICIPACIÓN SOCIAL.

<< Background >>According to the latest data published by Eurostat in 2020, the population of low-skilled adults in the EU (more than 49 million people) amounted to 23%, and the studies reflected in Eurostat 2017 and EPALE showed that the level of unemployment in this group amounted to 45.7% (over 22 million). We could draw a direct relationship between low training and unemployment, since unemployment levels are much higher among this population.In this context, this project was requested to answer to a problem in adult education: traditional education is not always adapted to the needs of adults (over 18 years old) in a situation of multiple exclusion. These people require a more practical model of adult education that is more exciting and interesting to them, which would allow them to achieve short-term success and train them to obtain basic qualifications, favoring their social and labor inclusion.<< Objectives >>FOR THE PROMOTING ENTITIESOG1.
