Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Language training institutions, Foundation Ad Meritum from Poland and Active Language School from Slovakia want to adapt the methodology for informal laguage learning for immigrants, developed by the Greek institution Action Synergy during the European multilateral project called: "METIKOS-Informal Language Learning for Immigrants" in the years 2011-2013. The methodology of the project Metikos concerns how immigrants can learn informal language of the host country through participation in activities such as: language cafe, the tandem and cyber cafe. In this project we will transfer this methodology to enlarged target groups and to another language range using the same methods: language cafe, the tandem and cyber cafe. Target groups: -immigrants who already exist in the community, often operate on the labour market, often stay in the host country for their families, their children attend the schools in the host country, they are already familiar with the realities of the culture and language of the host country in the way that enables easy communication, often hold a work permit and a residence permit. While they lack sufficient knowledge of the language associated with the labour market; -people from host communities, which have low qualifications on the labour market, low awareness of the labour market and they are therefore threatened by unemployment, or even remain unemployed persons; the particular attention we will devote to persons over the age of 50 years old. These groups are well known to the partner organizations as partners on a daily basis carry out actions on them. Their needs have been identified by the partners and described above. Informal learning tools: cyber cafe, language cafe and the tandem method are the tools that allow them to learn without incurring the high costs of participation in the courses, these tools facilitate informal learning, which does not require high financial expenditures from the participants. Language range, which will be the subject of the methodology: the host country language: Polish, Slovak and Greek related to the labour market, to facilitate communication in search of work and acquire awareness of the functioning of the labour market in the countries of the partners. Knowledge of such language will allow the target groups for a better understanding of the labour market, its rules and mechanisms and - as a consequence, this will allow them to better functioning of the labour market. The new methodology will be developed jointly by the three partners involved in this project, and the project partners plan to run the language and cyber cafe and the tandem method. This methodology, in the form of an e-book, will be published on the project wesite and available free of charge. The project contributes to the promotion of equality and social cohesion, improving the quality of education, equal opportunities for groups with fewer opportunities and requiring special support dissemination and exploitation of project results and to open access to educational materials. In particular, the project contributes to the raising of the key competences and skills of adults needed to be the active members of the society and in the labour market.
