in.education: Neue Modelle zur Erhöhung der Bildungsbeteiligung bildungsbenachteiligter Menschen mit Basisbildungsproblemen
Start date: Oct 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Existing data as well as practical experiences show that educational programs - including those that specifically address educationally disadvantaged people - are not utilised enough by "all potential" target groups and sufficient diversification of participants groups is achieved only rarely. The reasons for this phenomenon are many and varied. They arise as a result of mixed organisational patterns, educational behaviour of individuals and are caused by structural, procedural and individual initial conditions, which have a common relevance to adult education. The often-mentioned structural change facing Europe in general and specifically each Member State, which particularly refers to its migration and diverse society, can only be dealt with by providing equal and suitable conditions for accessing educational opportunities to people, who because of their personal situation have difficulties in accessing education due of for example lack of educational qualifications. The responsibility of the provision of these fair and adequate conditions for the participation in education should also be borne by adult education providers. They must be empowered to develop solutions to reduce barriers and offer educational programs that address diversity to especially those people who may not yet have found a satisfactory entry route into education or for those who have “finished” with education; so that they can reopen the education window for them. In.education will focus on the development of strategies to increase the enrolment of educationally disadvantaged people especially those with basic education needs into relevant educational programs. It will therefore develop strategies to reduce possible barriers by focussing on system, individual and institutional related levels. Systemic level: Following the hypothesis that people are deeply influenced by their socio-economic environment, methods and strategies will be developed that will proactively raise awareness and motivate enrolment in education. This will result in the activation and expansion of multipliers. Besides the identification of relevant target groups, application-oriented settings (pilot workshops) targeted towards stakeholder groups will be developed. From this experience, in.education will develop an application oriented curriculum (output: Outreach concept). Individual level: The hypothesis that that the enrolment rate in education increases when informally acquired educational qualifications are collected, described and recognised, leading to the admission of those concerned into the education system, emerges from a cycle of transnational cooperation in the collection and validation of informally gained educational competences of educationally disadvantaged people with basic education deficits. This will be implemented by the provision of formal compulsory education measures in each partner country in order to validate whether shorter possibilities of accomplishment of compulsory education for adults can be yielded from this cooperation (Output: validation concept for application of educationally disadvantaged people). Organisational level: Starting from the presumption that adult education institutions have not yet adjusted sufficiently to the challenges generated from a diverse society and based on the implementation experience of in.education specifically derived from the learning outcomes and the competence-based training events in the systemic and individual levels, implementation competences that organisations dealing with educationally disadvantaged individuals must have in order to increase enrolment and guarantee the quality of results for this groups of persons will be extracted. From these defined implementation competences, training will be designed in which educational managers and trainers can participate (Output: training curriculum for employees in adult education based on the conditions for successful participation in education of educationally disadvantaged people). As a consequence, three curricula will be developed and tested with the participants. The products will be user-oriented, prepared to be self-explanatory and include information on the process, content, methods used and allow a glance into the used materials.
