The project will focus on thedesign, planning and testing of the practical implementation of transnational interactionbetween the centres in the participating countries by promoting mobility amongmanagers, teachers and adult learners and by integrating transnational communicationin the different kinds of adult learning activities.The project will integrate a language training dimension in all kinds of adult learningactivities in the centres, based on the CLIL principles launched by the EuropeanCommission; it will introduce communicative ICT training in all kinds of adult learningactivities in the centres to enable teachers and adult learners to practice Europeancommunication; it will establish pre-entering counselling and guidance for adult learnersto improve their ability to identify their professional and personal learning needs and toidentify professional and personal talents, that could be integrated as resources in thecourse activities.
