This project is supported by the head of the GRETA network of the Pays de la Loire Region (group of local secondary schools involved in adult education and vocational training) named GIP FCIP EXPERIENCE, a public body of the Académie of Nantes - the local administrative entity specific to the French national public education service. The project aims to build a European network gathering both adult education organizations and partner companies, in order to organize future reciprocal exchanges of trainers or trainees, and to co-develop strategic partnerships on the topic of lifelong learning. As a first step, 12 lifelong training advisors from the GRETA network of the Académie of Nantes will visit European education organizations in order to launch and deploy a process of good practice sharing, based on periods of job shadowing, interviews and immersion in the training sessions organized by these partners. This will aim to: • Place the lifelong training action in a European context ; foster and increase the sense of belonging to the European Union, improve knowledge and develop euro-citizenship • Improve the skills of the lifelong training advisors in terms of pedagogical engineering (new methods, new organizations, new tools), and fight the digital divide (open and distance learning) The sectors which are addressed are the following: • Industry • Renewable marine energies • Digital pedagogy • Building and public works sector / Eco-construction • Health and social sectors ; disability sector • Hotel, catering and tourism sector • Services and International trade • Guidance • Key competences • Education in prison The following activities will be carried out: • Prepare the mobility periods (taking contacts, defining the program and expected results) • Visit the education organizations • Meet the training institutional stakeholders and prescribers • Meet local economic actors (companies, clusters, competitive clusters, associations, …) • Reflect on cooperation projects • Organize workshops with training managers and trainers • Take part in the workshops and classes, and exchange with trainees • Observe on-site learning sequences (tools and pedagogical methods) • Study the organization of distance learning (digital tools and pedagogical support) • Undertake a comparative study of existing regulations (training, employment, certification) • Undertake a comparative study of Quality standards Contacts have already been established with German, English, Belgian, Dutch and Swedish adult education organizations and the programs of the visits are now being finalized. Regarding the management of this project, several steps have been identified, such as a kick-off seminar, mobility periods and a closing seminar. Besides, the dissemination of the results will be extended to the institutional and private partners of the GRETA network. The results will be based on the job shadowing periods organized in European bodies. The short and mid-term objective is to launch joint projects with other European adult education organizations. Moreover, this project offers the opportunity to strengthen the presence of the GRETA network worldwide, and to allow every actor of the process (training managers, trainers and trainees) to become aware of their belonging to the European Union.
