LABYRINTHEME
Jan 2011 – Dec 2012
LABYRINTHEME aims to develop the potential and practice of museums and other institutions managing historical and/or cultural heritage as sites of learning and intercultural dialogue. This project intends to promote a more substantial involvement of the public and communities in which these museums and institutions managing historical/cultural heritage act by using alternative methods derived from various forms of participative arts, notably participative theatre, in their educational approaches towards the public. The partnership produces a training course to be available in the Comenius-Grundtvig Training Database and to be delivered to adult education trainers and teachers. Such a course is envisaged to have a support training area running on an Open Source Virtual Learning Environment. The course is supported by a handbook for trainers and a handbook for learners (available in book format by the end of the project), and by the project website, designed from the beginning as a virtual resource centre.
SHIVAA
Sep 2009 – Oct 2011
Successful Help for Inclusion by Valorized Actions for Adults in the field of environment. Professions in the field of the environment (water, waste, recycling, energy efficiency, alternative transportation, maintenance, management of natural areas) are vectors for integration and qualification for unemployed people, even with low qualifications. (Unemployed, 45 years and +, people with no or low qualifications, women, disabled people,…). Innovative activities which were carried out in Europe (guidance, training, ”sites for inclusion” ...)are often ignored and undervalued. The lack of diffusion and capitalization leads to an important loss of social, economic and environmental efficiency. Responsible of job agencies, actors for training and guidance have most a lack of knowledge concerning theses new carriers.

DIGITAS
Oct 2008 – Sep 2010
DIGITAS (short for Digital Asylum-Seekers – Media education crash course for parents and grandparents) is a project that arose from the need for a media education-related training action focused on trainers and teachers working with parents and older learners that is NOT confined within the ‘protectionist’ paradigm and aimed at the ‘demystification’ of media. DIGITAS assumes that (multi)media is here to stay, that the advance of digital technologies has contributed to the emergence of new cultural forms, that exclusively require multimodal literacies – and that some cultural practices of youth, ‘born’ into various multimodal literacies at work in an increasingly digital mediascape, offer consistent opportunities for inter-generational and family learning.
ACQUISITION OF BASIC COMPETENCES THROUGH SOCIAL AND DIGITAL INCLUSION
Aug 2008 – Jul 2010
Our project aims to raise people's awareness of a past shared, thus, forge a sense of unity among different people of Europe , increase mutual understanding and tolerance.
Target group consists of adult learners, adult education institutions, local and regional community. The main objective is to involve learners in an interactive learning environment and motivate them to learn about the history of partner countries and that of their own. Thus, they can see our common past shows how we can co-exist despite the diversities.
The project aims at the exchange and comparison of methodologies and practices used by the different partners in basic ICT and second language training for disadvantaged and unemployed people, ethnic minorities, senior citizens, unemployed, people from less developed rural areas in order to develop and share common instruments and approaches that can be used in training courses for these groups and disseminated on local, national and European level mainly through meetings, publications and a website. In particular, the project focuses on the relationship between ICT, second language learning, social inclusion, active citizenship and family learning, as on developing the trainees' skills of learning to learn, as well as the cultural awareness and expression of migrant and minority groups.
