In order to achieve the set priority, the association had to develop and pay greater attention to provision of life-long education to its participants and supporters, the organization itself had to become an educational institution in line with its strategy goals. Since 2001 the organization had developed and implemented projects as a partner and the leading organization in culture politics, society integration, realization of culture assets and in education of young journalists. Seminars, courses and trainings were organized by the representatives of the association. They lacked, however, international experience. This project had envisaged educating – in the framework of adult mobility – education specialists, which upon their return form mobility would develop their training programmes and provide training to those interested and implement it in the work of the association. The strategic development of the association “Media Creative Studio” for the period 2014-2020 was directed towards life-long learning of the participants and supporters providing it with the help of local educators. For the education specialists the focus was on gaining new experience and knowledge in the media sector. As a result 5 interlinked training programmes were designed: 1) visual identity of a writing media and its concept for the target group – the design of the cover and content; 2) development of culture content, division and design of slots and the content layout (photos, visual art, music, etc.); 3) balance between the electronic media and the printed press, trends in Europe; 4) photography, pattern and design of the writing media and connection with the readers’ mentality, ethnicity and different perceptions; 5) specific aspects of culture media content, differences from the other media. The project participants were evaluated by the partner, certificates were provided. The implementing party of the project prepared a Europass Mobility document to each participant. The results were disseminated on the local, regional and international level. They were available to all writing media for gaining new knowledge and skills important for this sector in order to improve adult education processes. Following the mobility 32 media representatives were trained, in addition, the newly designed programmes were offered to other regional media of Latvia, where there were numerous city and area newspapers and independent writing media, who were interested in the training to boost their attractiveness in the eyes of the readers.
