PARTNERSHIPS
Calmar International is the Irish partner on a Leonardo da Vinci programme entitled "E Learning for All". The other partners are from Czech Republic, Estonia, Romania and Portugal.
The F@do methodology was developed in Portugal to provide equal right of training in order to increase social and professional skills for employment and ensure access to the Information Society for people who are economically, socially and educationally disadvantaged.
The experts in the field of Vocational Education and Training (VET) have been working on narrowing the link between companies and training organisations to develop new soft skills and knowledge in this target group. Therefore we believe that E-Learning for All - F@do's methodology is a good and innovative solution to promote equal opportunities for disadvantage people by using empowering methodologies and tools for trainers.
Project Aim:
To transfer the F@do Methodology along with its products and e.learning tools to key training promoters in order to persuade regional and national policy makers to adopt this methodology.
Objective:
To transfer and adapt an innovative elearning methodology for disadvantage people, based on local partnerships and on more attractive empowering learning process to adults with lack of motivation for learning, helping in the equal access to qualifications and soft skills for employment.
To involve different stakeholders in a learning process, centred on trainees particularities and also on labour market needs (special requests from local companies).
To persuade regional and national policymakers for the advantages of the f@do's methodology involving them in the project's activities and debates.
To promote empowering learning environments where trainees (groups in risk) can have a voice? in the whole learning cycle.
