Our intention is to continue the EBSN podcast series and post a session regularly on relevant themes and updates that can be of interest to many in the field. We are also looking for your ideas for topics you find important! Feel free to comment below!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The current EPALE podcast was made by the European Basic Skills Network under EPALE's third thematic focus on basic skills provision. EBSN initiated a dialogue with experts from member organisations to address the general condition and role of basic skills policy and practice in building resilience of adults.

The COVID crisis has shed new light on the importance of basic skills.

Making citizens and societies more resilient to unexpected challenges and allowing them to become more prepared to adapt quickly to fast changing circumstances are of key importance. General experience and the thematic focus of the European Skills Agenda reflect the need for investing in skills and in important areas of people's lives such as their health, work, finances and social fairness.

Paving the way to essential skills houses.

# data[].attributes.subject
Paving the way to essential skills houses.

# data[].attributes.body
Project ‘ Paving The Way For Essential Skills Houses’ is a direct result of our Erasmus+ project 'Extending the literacy houses approach' and focuses on the further development and embedding of the Literacy Houses concept as implemented in the Dutch region West-Brabant.

A Literacy House is a place for everyone who wants to work on (the improvement of) his or her language skills. Daily practice shows that the structural embedding of the Literacy houses concept requires an extension of the concept to include not only language skills but all essential skills. Essential skills are the skills needed for life, learning and work. They provide the foundation for learning all other skills and enable people to evolve and adapt to change.

Main question and themes

Our main question in our new project is: “How can we extend our current Literacy Houses concept to include all essential skills and transform it into a centre of development?” We will focus on participation in its broadest sense. In doing so, we have selected two main themes which are relatively new to the Netherlands.

Creation

Besides the more classical methods for the transfer of  knowledge, we intend to research other - more creative - methods of acquiring language and  essential skills or methods that lead to a better embedding of lessons learned.

Employment

Over 50% of the people in the Netherlands with low essential skills is employed. Consequently, employers are a very important partner in the improvement of essential skills. In practice, however, they are hardly ever involved in our current Literacy Houses concept. Secondly, Literacy houses can play an important role in helping people with low essential skills find a job. Within this project, we intend to research which approaches, styles and methods are possible.

Project partners

The following partners will take part in the project: Cubiss, Nieuwe Veste / Public Library Breda Breda (on behalf of all libraries in West-Brabant), ROC West-Brabant / Kellebeek College, Stichting Lezen & Schrijven, Bergen Offentlige Bibliotek (Noorwegen), Learning and Work Institute (Wales) and Blenders (formerly: SPK vzw) (Belgie). All partners will bring their specific knowledge, expertise and experiences related to the abovementioned themes to the project. All partners have also submitted their own learning questions and desired outcome of the project in order to further develop their own approach.

We want to make sure that everyone can successfully participate in our society. In order to be able to do so, they need to be equipped with certain essential skills. The proposed activities are directly related to the main challenge of the consortium in West-Brabant to extend its current Literacy Houses concept so that it can become the centre of development that our society so desperately needs (a centre of life long learning).

Project activities

The new project started on 5 September with a transnational meeting in Breda; the day prior to the conference Brick by Brick. All Dutch project partners will make study trips to the project partners in Norway, Wales and Belgium. During these study trips, we want to learn from their specific knowledge, expertise and experience.

A report (in Dutch) of the working visit to Wales in June 2018 can be found here.

The results of our KA2 project will be presented to a wide audience during an international conference, which will take place June 25th 2019 in Breda.

Intellectual outputs

We will process our findings in a case study concerning creation, a case study concerning employment and a toolkit related to essential skills houses. The obtained  insights will be translated to fit the specific situation in West-Brabant; how can they successfully be incorporated in our current approach?

Of course, these intellectual outputs will be shared both nationally and internationally, e.g. through the existing networks and communication channels of all project partners as well as networks such as the Erasmus+ Project Results Platform and EPALE (online platform for adult education in Europe). We believe that all stakeholders that operate in the field of essential skills will be able to benefit from the insights we will acquire during this project.

One Step Up- skills for learning to learn

# data[].attributes.body
One Step Up – Learning to Learn – OSU-LL is an Erasmus+ project (Romanian Institute for Adult Education - coord) aiming to ensure better chances for young people in rural areas and urban periphery areas to become aware of the learning process and to develop the transversal learning to learn competence. The project “One Step Up” is implemented in a consortium of 5 partners which includes Romania, Greece, Italy, Poland and Portugal. “Learning to learn” is an approach that helps young people to maximize their learning outcomes and to update and improve their basic skills, so they can progress in the learning process. This transversal competence supports the development of other key competences and focuses on: Information and Communication Technology (ICT) skills; developing critical analysis skills and critical reflection; problem solving; working with others; planning skills; skills to improve and direct their own learning to help them become autonomous learners.

"A Chance – New Opportunities for Adults" 

# data[].attributes.body
During the first day of the conference Sylwia Walica presented  the key concepts of the national strategy of implementing Upskilling Pathways in Poland.

The project "A Chance – New Opportunities for Adults" responds to the Recommendation on Upskilling Pathways: New Opportunities for Adults adopted by the Council of the European Union on 19 December 2016. Its aim is to provide educational support for adults with low basic skills in literacy, numeracy and digital skills as well as social competences. It is implemented in a 3-stage process: skills assessment, individually adjusted learning offer and validation of learning outcomes.
