GRUNDTVIG LEARNING PARTNERSHIP 2013-2015
ADULT EDUCATIONAL OFFERS ON EUROPEAN POLICIES AND CONTENTS:
A CATALOGUE OF BEST PRACTICE
The Grundtvig learning partnership "AEforEU" endeavors to investigate into European adult education offers with regards to European policies and to European contents. Seven partners from Austria (VHS Wien / VHS Landstraße, Roma Kulturzentrum Wien), Sweden (Norrköpings Stadsmuseum), Germany (Sprachendienst Konstanz, Hamburger VHS), France (ID Formation) and Belgium (EU WAREHOUSE) will assemble a catalogue of good examples and best practice. A strong motive to all partners is to create and provide innovative education and information offers on European topics and issues.
Over a period of 24 month the Grundtvig partnership committed to take the following steps together in their workplan:
Exchange of Information on a European level:
- compilation of a catalogue of best practice examples of adult educational offers on European issues (collecting best practice examples, evaluation of attendance/interest, media coverage);
Report: What do EU-citizens want?
- development of a questionnaire on expectations and wishes (lectures, workshops, courses, panel discussions, play readings etc.);
- get information on how the gap on "Europe" could be closed by AE-institutions;
- publish a joint report based on the analysis of the questionnaires of all partner institutions;
A fresh touch for our working programs:
The exchange of information will lead to a new start in our efforts to present new ways of information, to find new target groups, to detect new ways of organizing educational offers. We want to improve the image of the European Union. The attitude towards the European Union has declined in the Member Countries. A comparison of figures (Eurobarometer 2001 and 2012) shows that the image of the EU (42% positive and 18% negative in 2001) is almost balanced ten years later: 31% positive and 28% negative in the member countries. Trust in the European Union, its institutions and organs went down from 41% to 31% within a decade. At the same time, only 21% of EU citizens feel well informed about the EU!
