Literacy Games. Non-formal learning framework to improve literacy teaching competences in adult education

Subject area: Basic skills Working language(s): EN Target Group + Translation: Teachers and staff working on literary issues in adult education Expected number of participants: 16 Main activities Programme + Programme translation: Literacy Games is a workshop that will promote the use of informal learning frameworks as a complimentary method to the formal learning processes. We intend to systematise games that can be used to improve literacy competences in adult education. These games are going to be brought by the participants and will be analysed and evaluated in a pedagogical and didactic dimension. The use of games within a non-formal framework has been used in all our workshops and has proved to be a powerful didactic tool. In Literacy Games the participants will learn from activities and practices used in other parts of Europe and are going to be encouraged to share their competences with others in order to improve their professional development. Literacy will not be understood as an isolated issue but as a social, cultural and personal condition that must be tackled from different angels. Having in mind that the levels of literacy in Europe differ from region to region depending on the socio-economical situation as well as the internal migration a number of solutions are required that can be applied to different cases. Therefore, the concept of literacy must be articulated by using flexible elements of analysis. The main pedagogical and didactical approach of this workshop is to learn from each other. This learning process will be moderated by the workshop organisers who will ensure that the discussion will not divert from the topic of literacy. Communication Technologies are going to be used according to the needs of the games the participants bring to the workshop. The workshop will be centred around Literacy as a European problem and is an attempt to provide a basis in the search for creative solutions at the European level through the exchange of information and teaching methods.

Subject area: Basic skills Working language(s): EN Target Group + Translation: berufserfahrene TrainerInnen in der Alphabetisierung mit Erwachsenen participants: 16 (+4 national) Expected number of

The workshop will include two presentations from experts regarding the following topics: intercultural communication and conflict resolution, gender mainstreaming and diversity. The participants will have the possibility to exchange working experiences, discuss working problems (e.g. intercultural conflicts, lack of motivation, frustration etc. of learners) and explore best practice models on a European level.

Motivating Literacy- how to creatively encourage people to write

Subject area: Basic skills Working language(s): EN Target Group + Translation: People in the age from 18 to 80 * in adult educational functions (teachers, social workers, trainers) or * students of pedagogy and didactics or * unemployed and social-economically disadvantaged people in former pedagogic functions with the aim of re-entering their profession who are interested in learning and teaching the following subjects: - how to inspire motivation to write - Alternative, entertaining exercises to start writing - Creativity techniques which increase fun and fantasy Encouraging people with difficulties of expression and fomenting their literacy Expected number of participants: 12 Main activities Programme + Programme translation: Combating illiteracy is a big deal even in democratic times with free basic education. But often the reason of writing and reading problems is not the lack of abilities or practice but the monotony of stereotyped education strategies which dont increase neither motivation nor creativity. This workshop revises the wide range of creative exercises and free writing methods which inspire fantasy and, moreover, the will and need to write. Creativity writing techniques impulse the flow of feelings in a spontaneous, often unique way, opening the mind and increasing the motivation for written communication.

Main activities Programme + Programme translation: Media literacy enables people to analyse, evaluate contents and create messages in media. It focusses on detecting e.g. propaganda, censorship or manipulative contents but doesnt include a technological practical education.

You will not only learn how to teach these matters but get deeper experiencing the basic digital skills and participating in discussions in which we will question critical aspects as well as the ethical and legal background of the internet mass media to foster the fundaments which are needed to answer the enquiries of the most curious alums. Lessons you will learn to impart : Using the www and discerning informations Participating in social networks: Redacting messages properly and answering them the correct online behaviour; Photography: Kinds of digital cameras, advanced camera features, photo shooting techniques, photo editing for the web, copyright laws; Web design: easy web design, web 2.0 applications; Digital media ethics: Respect and good practice on the net, between online users and when photographing; Digital media right: Laws you have to know to avoid sues, fines and any kind of problems (author rights and copy rights of texts, fonts, images, sounds, webs; personality and privacy rights, etc.) Propaganda and manipulation in internet Digital media activism and active citizenship Workshop Organiser: Medien fr Menschen PEOPLES MEDIA Verein fr Medieninitiativen Stenggstr. 23 8043 Graz AT-AUSTRIA 18

Subject area: Basic skills Working language(s): EN Target Group + Translation: adult learners; the emphasis will be placed on people, who are/will be employed as a teaching staff in the field of literacy. Expected number of participants: 24 Main activities Programme + Programme translation: Reading and Writing are very important values in our digitised World. They are basic for the social integration in a society.

New and innovative initiatives to care for the vulnerable group of illiterate people.

Subject area: Basic skills for adult learners Inclusive approaches Working language(s): EN Target Group + Translation: Topic of the Workshop: Werken met kwetsbare groepen binnen het volwassenenonderwijs, met specifieke aandacht voor laaggeletterden en laaggediplomeerden, bij wie lees- en schrijfproblemen vaak een eerste oorzaak zijn voor het niet positief kunnen bewandelen van een leertraject en voor het niet kunnen valoriseren van de intrinsieke competenties die ze bezitten. Target group(s): Leraren en directies uit minstens vier Europese landen die actief zijn in onderwijs aan volwassenen waarmee ze specifiek maatschappelijk kwetsbare menseen bereiken bij wie onvoldoende taal-, leesen schrijfvaardigheid mede oorzaak zijn van hun kwetsbaarheid en voor wie zij alfabetisering en taalcoaching actief organiseren.

Main activities Programme + Programme translation: De workshop is bestemd voor leraren en begeleiders uit Europese centra voor volwassenenonderwijs en staat borg voor een ruime uitwisseling van ervaringen met en tussen de Europese partners. Nieuwe initiatieven om de kwetsbare doelgroep van laaggeletterden aan te spreken en te definiren worden voorgesteld en in brainstormsessies vergeleken en uitgewisseld met de internationale partners. Tijdens het gezamenlijk zoeken en definiren van wie de volwassen laaggeletterden zijn, wordt extra gefocust op alfabetiseringsacties bij kwetsbare sociale groepen, met daarbij ook aandacht voor al oudere mensen (50+) die omdat ze het onderwijs vroeg verlaten hebben, minder geletterd zijn en vaak nood hebben aan specifieke taalcoaching. De ervaringen van alle deelnemers met de door hen gehanteerde methodes om alfabetisering en taalcoaching relevant te laten zijn in het dagelijkse leven van kwetsbare personen en voor hun toegang tot de arbeidsmarkt krijgen extra aandacht. Samen met de deelnemers wordt interactief gezocht naar een antwoord op de vraag welke effecten het aanbrengen van lees- en schrijfvaardigheid heeft op het bevattingsvermogen en begrip met betrekking tot verder leren in het kader van levenslang leren. Tijdens verscheidene interactieve sessies wil deze workshop de methodieken en technieken onder de aandacht brengen die inzake basisonderwijs en taalcoaching in de instellingen voor volwassenenonderwijs van de vertegenwoordigde landen worden gebruikt. De resultaten van een opmerkelijk proeftuinproject van het Consortium Limburg Zuid enerzijds en van het zgn. GMKmodel dat vanuit ruime taalcoachingservaring binnen het Vlaams Steunpunt lokale Netwerken (SLN) concreet is uitgewerkt, zullen dan worden gepresenteerd en samen met de deelnemers kritisch besproken en op hun bredere Europese bruikbaarheid bevraagd. Tenslotte worden concrete plannen uitgewerkt met de deelnemers om verdere samenwerking tussen de Europese centra uit te bouwen met de bedoeling de ervaren good practices en de succesvolle pedagogisch-didactische methodieken Europees bekend te maken. De voornaamste themas die in de workshopsessie met de deelnemers worden uitgewerkt: 1 Hoe worden kwetsbare en moeilijk inzetbare doelgroepen 24

aangesproken en opgevolgd, 2 Welke instrumenten worden gehanteerd om hen functionele leesvaardigheid bij te brengen? 3 Welke didactische methodes gebruiken we voor het stimuleren van spreek- en leesvaardigheid? 4 De opleiding in Ervaringsdeskundige in Armoede en Sociale uitsluiting en de specifieke aandacht daarin voor alfabetisering. 5 Methodieken om laaggeletterden en laaggediplomeerden toe te laten tot actieve deelname aan de maatschappij. 6 Ervaringsuitwisseling in het promoten van instroom en doorstroom in het volwassenenonderwijs.

Main activities Programme + Programme translation: Charlie Chaplin, Stan Laurel, you and I: We all know about facial play, gestures and body language. A great number of well-known personalities have developed non-verbal communication to the point of perfection and have demonstrated that talking with the expression of your face, your hands and feet can be great fun. Only fun? We are convinced that facial play, gestures and body language can be employed in literacy courses all over Europe to improve results of the course participants. Linking writing, speaking and body language makes it easier for the students to remember the words, and at the same time gives them a learning aid which will certainly help them to simplify learning: Letters and syllables are given a face through facial play; words receive a personal touch through gestures; sentences and conjugations gain in liveliness through someones posture. In a word: The students connect reading and writing with emotions and expressions of the body and thus deepen their learning experience. During the workshop we will bring together facial play, gestures and body language from different cultures and societies and utilize them for literacy courses. We will use the muscles in our faces to make different facial expressions, we will contort ourselves and take up very unusual postures; sore muscles are guaranteed. After all we will make a photo documentary in order to record the results of the workshop. This way we will get examples of use that we will be able to employ for the benefit of the students in our literacy courses at home later on. Charlie Chaplin, Stan Laurel, Du und Ich: wir alle kennen uns aus mit Mimik, Gestik und Krpersprache. Viele bekannte Persnlichkeiten haben die nonverbale Kommunikation zur Perfektion entwickelt und gezeigt, dass das Reden mit Gesicht, Hnden und Fssen groen Spa machen kann. Nur Spa? Wir glauben: Mimik, Gestik und Krpersprache kann europaweit auch in Alphabetisierungskursen eingesetzt werden und die Lernerfolge der Kursteilnehmenden verbessern. Durch die Verknpfung von Schrift, Sprache und Krperausdruck knnen sich die Lernenden Buchstaben, Silben und die Schreibweise von Wrtern besser merken und erhalten ein Hilfsmittel zur Vereinfachung des Lernens: Buchstaben und Silben bekommen durch Mimik ein Gesicht; Wrter erhalten durch Gesten eine persnliche Note; Stze und Konjugationen gewinnen durch Krperhaltungen Lebendigkeit. Kurz: Die Lernenden verbinden das Lesen und Schreiben mit Emotionen und Krperspiel und vertiefen dadurch ihre Lernerfahrung. Whrend des Workshops 35

werden wir Mimik, Gestik und Krpersprache aus unterschiedlichen Kulturkreisen zusammenfhren und fr Alphabetisierungskurse nutzbar machen. Wir lassen unsere Gesichtsmuskeln spielen, verrenken unsere Gliedmaen und nehmen sehr ungewohnte Krperhaltungen ein; Muskelkater ist garantiert. Um die Workshopergebnisse festzuhalten, erstellen wir eine fotografische Bilddokumentation. So erhalten wir Anwendungsbeispiele, die wir zuhause in unseren Alphabetisierungskursen zum Nutzen der Lernenden einsetzen knnen.

Subject area: Alphabetisierung Working language(s): DE / EN Target Group + Translation: Pdagogische Mitarbeiter und freie Referenten der Erwachsenenbildung Main activities Programme + Programme translation: Der Workshop wendet sich an pdagogische Mitarbeiter und freie Referenten der Erwachsenenbildung, die bisher nicht vorrangig auf dem Gebiet der Alphabetisierung ttig waren. Wir mchten Sie sensibilisieren, funktionale Analphabenten in Ihrem Arbeitsumfeld zu erkennen und untersttzen, gezielt auf die Lernbedarfe dieser Menschen einzugehen. Wir werden dafr die internationale Zusammensetzung des Workshops nutzen: Wir werden Sie selbst erleben lassen, wie man sich als funtionaler Analphabet fhlt. Wir werden Methoden erproben, die geeignet sind, Leseund Rechtschreibkompetenz einzelner Gruppenmitglieder zu verbessern und dadurch die gesamte Gruppe in ihrem Lernprozess voranzubringen. Im praktischen Umfeld und auf Exkursionen durch die Dichter- und Denkerstadt Weimar werden wir - Mglichkeiten verschiedener Lernorte erleben eine Vielzahl von Methoden ausprobieren (Laufdiktat, Rollenspiele, Arbeit mit eigenen Texten, vom Lesen zum Schreiben u.v.a.m.) - und dabei viel ber experimentelles und kooperatives Lernen erfahren. Auch Ihre Erfahrungen sind gefragt. Sie werden Mglichkeiten haben, Ihr eigenes Wissen einzubringen und vom Wissen der anderen Workshopteilnehmer zu profitieren. Unterschiedliches Sprachniveau in der Gruppe ist kein Problem sondern eine Chance. Wir praktizieren dadurch kooperatives Lernen und nutzen die Kompetenzunterschiede fr das Erlebnisfeld Alphabetisierung. The workshop targets to pedagogic staff and freelancers of adult education, who didnt worked priorytiely on the topic of functional illiteracy yet. We aim to sensitize them to realize functional illiteracy in their working environment and to support them to meet learning needs of those people. We are going to exploit the international composition of the workshop for that purpose: We are going to make you feeling as a functional illiterate. We are going to make you applying methods suited to support reading and writing competences of single learners and to push that way foward the learning process of the whole group. Thanks of the learning environment of the Workshop and excursions through the the Poet- and Thinker-City Weimar we are going to experience the possibilities of different learning places practice a variety of methods (running dictate, role plays, work with self made texts, from reading to writing etc.) learn that way a lot about experiemental and cooperative learning. Your experineces are welcome! We will encourage you to contribute your knowledge and to profit from the knowledge of the other workshop participants. We dont estimate different language levels as a problem but as a chance. That way we practice cooperative learning and use comepetence differences for the learning field of Literacy. 37

Subject area: Alphabetisierung Working language(s): DE Target Group + Translation: Personal von Erwachsenenbildungseinrichtungen und Mitgrantenselbsthilfeorganisationen, wie z.B. ehrenamtliche Mitarbeiter/innen aus Vereinen; Sozialarbeiter/innen, Berater/innen, Coachs, psychologische Mitarbeiter/innen

Main activities Programme + Programme translation: Die Beratung von Menschen mit Lese- und Rechtschreibschwche erfordert einen sensiblen und empathischen Zugang. Mit unserem Workshop wollen wir einen Beitrag dazu leisten, die Beratungskompetenzen bezogen auf diese spezifische Zielgruppe zu verbessern und zu professionalisieren mit dem Ziel, mehr Selbstsicherheit als Berater/in zu bekommen. Nach einer Einfhrung mit Hilfe von biographischen Beispielen wollen wir zu einer gemeinsamen Einschtzung/Bestimmung von Lese- und Schreibschwche gelangen, um deren Situation und Lernbedrfnisse besser zu verstehen. Whrend des Workshops lernen sie, einen Beobachtungsbogen zu entwickeln, mit dem Lese- und Rechtschreibschwierigkeiten besser erkannt werden knnen. Einen Schwerpunkt wollen wir auf den Erst-Kontakt legen und mit Hilfe von verschiedenen Kommunikationsbungen aufzeigen, wie Probleme angemessen und empathisch angesprochen werden knnen. Das aktive Zuhren und die Methode der wertschtzenden Kommunikation nach Marshall B. Rosenberg wollen wir mit bungen praktisch einfhren und auf die Beratungspraxis bertragen. Ein weiteres Modell, das sie kennnenlernen werden, ist das Modell des inneren Teams nach Schulz von Thun, das ihnen hilft, sicher in der Beratung zu sein. Es untersttzt sie dabei, authentische Entscheidungen zu treffen und danach zu handeln. Wir wollen uns theoretisch und praktisch mit den Fragen beschftigen, wie Gesprche professionell gefhrt werden knnen und welche Tabuthemen dabei eine Rolle spielen. Sie lernen unseren Verein mit seinen interessanten Projekten, wie zum Beispiel der Woche der Sprache und des Lesens kennen. Wir werden fr einen spannenden Austausch sorgen, und langfristig streben wir eine Vernetzung zu diesem wichtigen gesellschaftsrelevanten Thema an, um durch die Vorstellung von Best practice Beispielen, voneinander zu lernen. Wir werden andere Einrichtungen besuchen, die zu diesem Thema bereits arbeiten und Mglichkeiten der europischen Vernetzung aufzeigen. Workshop Organiser: Contact details: Aufbruch Neuklln e.V.

AAHHHRRRGGG: Mit Comics und Cartoons zum Lesen und Schreiben

Subject area: Alphabetisierung Working language(s): DE Target Group + Translation: Deutschsprachige, mit Alphabetisierungskursen betraute ReferentInnen, Ehrenamtliche und in Bildungseinrichtungen Ttige Main activities Programme + Programme translation: Unter der Bettdecke, heimlich auf der Toilette und immer in der Schulpause: Noch vor einigen Jahren mussten in ganz Europa die jungen Leser von Comics und Cartoons hohe Hrden berwinden, um sich genieerisch den AAAHHHHs und WOWs, den Sprechblasen und Zeichnungen, den verstmmelten Stzen und einsamen Wrtern widmen zu knnen. Denn Comics und Cartoons hatten einen schlechten Ruf. Als schdlich wurden sie bezeichnet, sie seien oberflchlich und frderten die Sprachverarmung. Was also haben Comics und Cartoons mit Grundtvig-Alphabetisierungs-Workshops zu tun? Eine ganze Menge. Denn sie knnen in Alphabetisierungskursen das Lesen und Schreiben von Buchstaben, Wrtern und Stzen frdern: ein AAARRRGGGHH mchte buchstabiert werden, das alleinstehende Wort in der Sprechblase sucht seine Freunde, der umgangssprachliche Satz sehnt sich nach einer korrekten Schreibweise. Darberhinaus macht das Betrachten und Lesen von Comics und Cartoons den Lernenden und Lehrenden Spa, frdert eine entspannte Kursatmosphre und motiviert die Teilnehmenden zum Wiederkommen. Und nicht zuletzt tragen sie zum Verstndnis fr andere Lnder und Kulturen bei. Sie sagen nmlich viel ber lnderspezifische Eigenheiten aus, verraten einiges ber Kulturen und Traditionen, thematisieren und widerlegen Vorurteile. Aber welche Comics und Cartoons aus welchen Lndern eignen sich fr Alphabetisierungskurse? Welche Methoden und welche bungen sind hilfreich? Was muss dabei unbedingt beachtet werden? Diese Fragen warten sehnlichst auf Antworten, und deswegen treffen wir uns im Mrz 2014. Unser Ziel ist, Ideen und Konzepte zu entwickeln, die in Alphabetisierungskursen in unseren Lndern angewendet werden knnen. Wir beschrnken uns dabei auf deutschsprachige Comics und Cartoons, um uns nicht mit zeitraubenden bersetzungen beschftigen zu mssen. Aber vielleicht finden wir whrend des Workshops so ganz nebenbei auch Mglichkeiten, fremdsprachige Comics in unseren Alphabetisierungskursen einzusetzen. Umso besser. Die langen Workshopabende nutzen wir dann, um ein Netzwerk aufzubauen, mit dessen Hilfe wir uns spter gegenseitig untersttzen, Erfahrungen weitergeben und Tipps austauschen. UUAAAHHHH!!!

Beteiligungsorientierung in der Alphabetisierung

Subject area: Alphabetisierung Working language(s): DE Target Group + Translation: Bildungsplaner/innen u. Kursleitende in der Alphabetisierung von Muttersprachler/innen Main activities Programme + Programme translation: Es soll bei den Teilnehmenden dieses Workshops ein Bewusstsein fr die Bedeutung von Beteiligungsorientierung in der Alphabetisierung Erwachsener entstehen oder vertieft werden und es sollen die sich daraus ergebenden Vorteile fr die Lernenden erkennbar gemacht werden. Gerade bei Lernenden, die in Lernsituationen wenig Wertschtzung erfahren haben, ist auch die eigene Wahrnehmung ber Potentiale und Wirkungsmglichkeiten sehr defensiv entwickelt. Gerade fr sie ist es also gut, wenn durch Beteiligung in der Alphabetisierungsarbeit ihre Selbstwirksamkeit gestrkt wird und sich auch sonst noch viele positive Lernerfahrungen ergeben. Eine strkere Beteiligung der Lernerinnen bei Planung und Durchfhrung von Lernprozessen ist aber auch ein Ausdruck von Wertschtzung und kann sich positiv auf ihre Selbstlernfhigkeiten auswirken. Es werden im Workshop durch Austausch und Experten-Begegnungen viele Anregungen gegeben und der Transfer in den eigenen beruflichen Alltag der Workshop-Teilnehmenden wird angebahnt. Den Teilnehmenden soll durch die Workshop-Aktivitten und durch die Begegnung mit den Lernenden deutlich werden, dass es einen Zusammenhang zwischen Beteiligung auf der Kursebene und gesellschaftlicher Teilhabe von funktionalen Analphabeten gibt und dass die Einbung von Beteiligung in der Unterrichtssituation den Lernenden gutes Werkzeug gibt, um sich auch in anderen gesellschaftlichen Feldern zu beteiligen (politisch, kulturell, in der Nachbarschaft).

The focus of the workshop lies on professional and personal exchange about practical work experiences, views and opinions among the participants. In our accompanying program of social activities you will have the opportunity to meet learners and teachers of our school and other educational staff, e.g. at dinner or during a tour of our beautiful baroque town. Participants gain sound knowledge of programs, concepts and methods concerning literacy in a European context. They will broaden their methodological/didactical skills and acquire a better understanding for the life reality of illiterate people. They will share their views and experiences with their own institutions and colleagues and stimulate changes and improvements there. Personal contact between institutions and participants form an initiative basis for further cooperation and for putting new projects into practice later. Fulda has about 65,000 inhabitants and lies in the heart of Germany near Frankfurt on Main and can easily be reached by train or by car. Your accommodation will be a single room with a shower in a small hotel in the old town center of Fulda near the famous baroque quarter.

No water, no life. Before our maps were structured through roads and highways, rivers provided important transportation routes within Europe. At sea-costs and river banks are many cities of Europe arisen. As a limited resource, water is also a subject of the future. In literacy work water allows to connect both, daily-life aspects and ecological dimensions; to put on the experiences and attitudes of learners and also to promote their skills as citizens who care for the preservation of their environment. Moreover, the water issue widens the horizon to new perspectives on Europe with its sunny countries in the South and the wetlands in the North, and accordingly to the cultural diversity of our continent. In the workshop, various interactive and playful methods methods of teaching literacy will be tested. It also provides an introduction to forms of theater of the oppressed, which is based on principles that Paulo Freire had developed for its literacy campaign in Brazil. Ohne Wasser kein Leben. Vor dem Zeitalter der Straen und Autobahnen war Wasser ein wichtiger Transportweg in Europa. Am Wasser, den Meeresksten und Flssen, sind viele der bedeutenden Stdte Europas entstanden. Zugleich ist Wasser als zunehmend knappe Ressource ein Thema der Zukunft. In der Alphabetisierungsarbeit knnen anhand des Mediums Wasser lebensweltliche und kologische Dimensionen zusammengefhrt werden: Wasser ermglicht es, an den Erfahrungen und Verhaltensweisen der Lernenden anzusetzen und zugleich ihre Kompetenzen als Brgerinnen und Brger anzusprechen, die fr die Erhaltung ihrer Umwelt Sorge tragen. Darber hinaus erffnet das Thema Wasser neue Perspektiven auf Europa mit seinen Sonnenlndern und Feuchtgebieten und deren unterschiedlichen kulturellen Ausprgungen. Im Workshop werden verschiedene interaktive und spielerische Methoden erprobt. Er bietet zugleich eine Einfhrung in Formen des Theaters der Unterdrckten, das auf Prinzipien basiert, die Paulo Freire fr seine Alphabetisierungskampagne in Brasilien entwickelt hatte.

Gesund und fit im Alphabet - Gesundheitsbildung mit funktionalen Analphabeten

Subject area: Alphabetisierung Working language(s): DE Target Group + Translation: Direkte Zielgruppen des Workshops sind Lehrende und DozentInnen in der Alphabetisierung, pdagogisch Planende in der Bildung von Analphabeten, Multiplikatoren, ehrenamtlich Ttige.

Main activities Programme + Programme translation: Das statistisch unterdurchschnittlich ausgebildete Gesundheitshandeln und der unzureichende Gesundheitszustand vieler funktionaler Analphabeten hat bislang im Rahmen von Alphabetisierungskursen nur randstndig Aufmerksamkeit erfahren praktische Umsetzungskonzepte liegen bestenfalls in rudimentrer Form vor. Sich dieser Fragestellung zuzuwenden - unter Einbeziehung neuerer Forschungsergebnisse - ist berfllig: Nicht nur, um diese besondere Ausprgung sozialer Ungerechtigkeit anzugehen, sondern auch mit Blick auf die jhrlich entstehenden volkswirtschaftlichen Kosten. Die in bestimmten Bevlkerungsgruppen mangelhaft ausgebildete "health literacy" ist kein national begrenztes Phnomen und hat europaweit hnliche Entstehungsgrnde. Signifikante Unterschiede innerhalb Europas zeigen sich jedoch in der Art der persnlichen Wahrnehmung und der interpersonellen Thematisierung des Krpers sowie des ffentlichen "Blicks" auf den Krper - unterliegen diese Aspekte doch einer kulturspezifischen Formung. Der Aufbau einer europischen Dimension durch die angestrebte transnationale Zusammenarbeit ist auch auf diesem Hintergrund geeignet, innovative Anstze zu generieren - auch in Bezug auf institutionelles Handeln. Geplant sind fachbezogene Impulsreferate zu den Themen - Neurobiologische Erkenntnisse zum Analphabetismus. - Gesundheitliche Situation funktionaler Analphabeten. - Gesundheitsbildung in Alphabetisierungskursen. - Vorstellung von speziellen Materialien zur Gesundheitsbildung von Analphabeten. Diese Impulsreferate dienen als Informationstransfer und Grundlage der weiteren Zusammenarbeit auf der Basis der Erfahrungshintergrnde der Teilnehmer/innen. Dazu werden die wesentlichen Vortragsinhalte und Diskussionsergebnisse mit dem Referenten stichwortartig erfasst und zu den unterschiedlich gesetzten Themenfeldern einflieen - in die Gruppenarbeit, die umsetzungsrelevanten Aspekte destillieren wird sowie in die Plenumsdiskussionen, die die konzeptionelle Verzahnung erarbeiten. - In der tglichen Bewegungsarbeit werden Wege der Krpererfahrung praktisch erprobt und auf bertragbarkeit diskutiert. - TeilnehmerInnen, die gerne einen Input in Form z.B. eines Referates, Prsentation etc. beitragen mchten, knnen dies gerne tun.

Alphabetisierung und Grundbildung fr mehr gesellschaftliche Partizipation - Neue Anstze zur verbesserten Teilhabe in Arbeit, Kultur und historisch-politischer Bildung

Subject area: Literacy Working language(s): EN Target Group + Translation: Adult education staff teaching basic skills, volunteers in basic skills and literacy PraktikerInnen in Bildungseinrichtungen der Grundbildung, Ehrenamtliche in Alphabetisierung und Grundbildung Main activities Programme + Programme translation: In the workshop, innovative approaches to literacy and basic education will be presented and practiced, learners should allow low literacy skills more participation in social life. Many learners and learners to connect to improve their reading and writing skills directly with the objectives of improved professional opportunities, participation in skills training, or - as the unemployed - with the re-integration into the labor market. The inclusion of workplace-based and professional content is thus an important element of sustainable literacy. This can only succeed, be searched if the educational institutions also contact and cooperation with companies and institutions of the world of work and included in the school life. In this way, a higher degree of relevant content and authentic remuneration of literacy learning process is achieved, which increases the motivation and the possibilities of successful transfer of learning on the part of learners. In addition, many participants are involved in literacy in enhanced participation in the cultural life of the cities and regions where they live, interested. Basic education programs in cooperation with cultural institutions such as museums, theaters, libraries, and so create the conditions for it, by example allow in project work to current events or the life and work locally renowned artists and writers and people approaches that were previously excluded due to low levels of reading and writing skills as well as a fear of cultural institutions which almost. The same applies to political and historical content topics. Again, it requires a special effort and innovative forms and methods of basic education to the participants in the courses of the educational institutions to develop new ways to inform themselves as citizens of a democratic society better and more to participate in the political and social events can. Depending on the different interests of the students, both current political and socio-cultural and historical themes are incorporated into the teaching process. In all these areas, is that learning venues outside education and included many collaborations with other social actors have to be sought on site. It also plays the inclusion of basic skills in computer and Internet use a large role. Laptop prices in different institutions in the districts and work with the successful Germany-wide learning platform, I-want-lernen.de are examples of motivating and gelingendes learning. In the workshop, such methods and experience are thus not only presented and in terms of their applicability discussed under different conditions in the countries of origin of the participants, but also mini-projects and explorations are planned in which these approaches can be even exemplary tested and experienced. 61

In the reflection on his own experience as well as the possible differences in the realization of one's own practice conditions and relevant aspects of the approaches are clear. In this way a successful transfer into the work is made possible in countries of origin. Im Workshop werden innovative Anstze der Alphabetisierung und Grundbildung prsentiert und praktiziert, die Lernenden mit geringen Schriftsprachkompetenzen mehr Partizipation am gesellschaftlichen Leben ermglichen sollen. Viele Lernerinnen und Lerner verbinden die Verbesserung ihrer Lese- und Schreibkenntnisse direkt mit den Zielen verbesserter beruflicher Chancen, der Teilnahme an Qualifizierungen oder als Erwerbslose mit der Re-Integration in den Arbeitsmarkt. Die Einbeziehung arbeitsplatz- und berufsorientierter Inhalte ist somit ein wichtiges Element nachhaltiger Grundbildung. Gelingen kann dies nur, wenn ber die Bildungseinrichtungen hinaus Kontakte und Kooperationen mit Betrieben und Institutionen der Arbeitswelt gesucht und in das Unterrichtsgeschehen einbezogen werden. Auf diese Weise wird ein hheres Ma relevanter Inhalte und authentischer Bezge des Lese- und Schreiblernprozesses erreicht, das die Motivation und die Mglichkeiten erfolgreicher Umsetzung des Gelernten auf Seiten der Lernenden erhht. Zudem sind viele Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer in der Alphabetisierung an einer verstrkten Teilhabe am kulturellen Leben der Orte und Regionen, wo sie leben, interessiert. Grundbildungsangebote in Zusammenarbeit mit kulturellen Institutionen wie Museen, Theater, Bibliotheken usw. schaffen Voraussetzungen dafr, indem sie z.B. in Projektarbeiten zu aktuellen Veranstaltungen oder zu Leben und Werk rtlich bedeutender KnstlerInnen und SchriftstellerInnen auch Menschen Zugnge ermglichen, die bisher aufgrund geringer Lese- und Schreibkenntnisse sowie einer Scheu vor kulturellen Einrichtungen davon nahezu ausgeschlossen waren. Gleiches gilt fr Themen politisch-historischen Inhalts. Auch hier bedarf es besonderer Anstrengungen und innovativer Formen und Methoden der Grundbildung, um den TeilnehmerInnen in den Kursen der Bildungseinrichtungen neue Wege zu erschlieen, sich als Brgerinnen und Brger einer demokratischen Gesellschaft besser zu informieren und mehr am politisch-gesellschaftlichen Geschehen teilnehmen zu knnen. Je nach unterschiedlichen Interessen der Lernenden knnen sowohl aktuelle politische als auch sozial- und kulturhistorische Themen Eingang in den Unterrichtsprozess finden. Fr alle diese Bereiche gilt, dass Lernorte auerhalb der Bildungseinrichtungen einbezogen und vielfltige Kooperationen mit anderen gesellschaftlichen Akteuren vor Ort gesucht werden mssen. Bei allen diesen Themen spielt die Vermittlung von Grundkompetenzen in Computer- und Internetbenutzung sowie die Einbeziehung von Lernplattformen eine groe Rolle. Laptop-Kurse in verschiedenen Einrichtungen in den Stadtteilen und die Arbeit mit der erfolgreichen deutschlandweiten Lernplattform ich-will-lernen.de des Deutschen Volkshochschul-Verbands sind Beispiele fr motivierendes und gelingendes Lernen.

Gehirn-gerechtes Lehren und Lernen in der Erwachsenenbildung

Subject area: Literacy / Alphabetisierung Working language(s): EN / DE Target Group + Translation: The workshop is aimed at teachers in adult learning who are concerned with how to improve reading and writing skills in adults and are looking for effective options for increasing learning skills in adult education or want to present their experiences of effective options for imparting knowledge in a cross-border context. Der Workshop richtet sich an Lehrende in der Erwachsenenbildung, die sich mit Fragen zur Verbesserung der Lese- und Schreibfhigkeit von Erwachsenen beschftigen und nach effektiven Mglichkeiten zur Erhhung der Lernkompetenzen in der Erwachsenenbildung suchen oder ihre Erfahrungen effektiver Mglichkeiten der Wissensvermittlung im lnderbergreifenden Kontext vorstellen mchten. Main activities Programme + Programme translation: The workshop invites participants to present the wide range of different methods of brain-friendly learning and teaching from the countries involved in the programme and thus to create a pool of inspiring suggestions for teaching the written language effectively in adult education in Europe. The workshop provider will present three methods of brain-friendly teaching and learning used in Germany. The participants will become familiar with methods of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and live kinetics, as well as practices developed by Vera F. Birkenbihl. These will then be applied and discussed in group and small group work on topics related to adult literacy. We give the participants space to present their own methods of brain-friendly teaching and learning and thus to enrich the workshop with their own ideas and opportunities. Teaching is not intended merely to impart knowledge, but also to motivate the learner, highlight his successes and improve his selfworth. The methods of brain-friendly learning are often associated with elements of play, which successfully reduce the fear of making mistakes and overcome inhibitions. The participants will have the chance to put the methods presented into practice and thus experience how the methods work and their benefits. The methods presented can be implemented in a wide range of different ways, and cultural and social aspects are also included in the practical implementation of the workshop. In discussion and presentation groups, the participants can exchange experience of teaching and learning behaviour in their home countries, discover differences and similarities, and bring together the experiences they have had, thoughts and new stimuli in a pool of inspiration. Der Workshop ldt dazu ein, die Vielfltigkeit der verschiedenen Methoden zum gehirn-gerechten Lernen und Lehren aus den beteiligten Prorammlndern zu prsentieren und dadurch einen Pool an inspirierenden Anregungen zum effektiven Vermitteln der Schriftsprache in der europischen Erwachsenenbildung zu schaffen. Durch den Workshopanbieter werden drei, in Deutschland angewandte Methoden zum gehirn-gerechten Lehren und Lernen vorgestellt. Die Teilnehmenden werden mit Methoden aus den Bereichen der Neurolinguistischen Programmierung (NLP) und der 63

Live Kinetik sowie von Vera F. Birkenbihl entwickelten Praktiken vertraut gemacht, welche im Anschluss in Gruppen- und Kleingruppenarbeiten zu Themen der Alphabetisierung von Erwachsenen angewandt und diskutiert werden. Wir bieten den Teilnehmenden Raum, ihre eigenen Methoden zum gehirn-gerechten Lehren und Lernen vorzustellen und somit den Workshop mit ihren Ideen und Mglichkeiten zu bereichern. Lehren soll nicht nur Wissen vermitteln, sondern den Lernenden motivieren, ihm seine Erfolge sichtbar machen und seinen Selbstwert strken. Die Methoden des gehirn-gerechten Lehrens und Lernens sind oft mit spielerischen Elementen verbunden und schaffen es dadurch Angst vor Misserfolgen abzubauen sowie Schamgrenzen zu berwinden. Die Teilnehmenden haben so die Mglichkeit, die vorgestellten Methoden in der Praxis auszuprobieren und dadurch die Wirkungsweise und den Nutzen der Methoden direkt zu erfahren. Die vorgestellten Methoden bieten eine groe Breite an Einsatzmglichkeiten, so werden in die praktische Umsetzung des Workshops kulturelle und gemeinschaftliche Aspekte einbezogen. In Diskussions- und Prsentationsrunden tauschen sich die Teilnehmenden ber das Lern- und Lehrverhalten in ihren Heimatlndern aus, entdecken Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten, und stellen gemachte Erfahrungen, Gedanken sowie neue Impulse in einem Pool der Inspirationen zusammen.

Politische und kulturelle Teilhabe strken - Medienkompetenz

Subject area: Literacy / Alphabetisierung Working language(s): EN / DE Target Group + Translation: With this workshop, we want to invite teachers and those undertaking voluntary work in adult education to place a focus on strengthening political and cultural involvement among their course participants when teaching the written language to adults. Mit diesem Workshop wollen wir Lehrende und ehrenamtlich Beschftigte aus der Erwachsenenbildung einladen, die in der Vermittlung der Schriftsprache bei Erwachsenen einen Schwerpunkt in der Strkung der politischen und kulturellen Teilhabe ihrer Kursteilnehmer sehen. Main activities Programme + Programme translation: What barriers does a functional illiterate face in life? How can he actively participate in the cultural and political life of his region? And what can we, as course leaders and volunteers in adult education, do to help to dismantle these hurdles for those affected? Gnther Beckstein, (*1943, German politician) said, Education policy is the economic and social policy of the 21st Century. With participants from other countries in the programme, we want to discuss the education policy in their home countries and look for approaches and ideas for improving the current situation together. We will visit the Kulturhistorisches Museum in Magdeburg together and use a prepared simulation to highlight the barriers for an illiterate in such a museum visit to the participants. As part of the course, we will visit the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt, talk to a representative of the speaker responsible for adult education for the parties in the state parliament and to functional illiterates about the hurdles facing functional illiterates when it comes to political participation. We want to ask ourselves which media are used to improve reading and writing skills in adults and how barriers to media competence can be overcome. Each participant is required to bring with them materials which are used in their home country to overcome political and cultural barriers for functional illiterates. Each will have the opportunity to present their experiences and ideas to the group and to collect new knowledge and suggestions through exchange with others. At the end of the workshop, the materials and the experiences and ideas gained from working together will be compiled. Welche Barrieren gibt es im Leben eines funktionalen Analphabeten? Wie kann er sich an den kulturellen und politischen Angeboten seiner Region aktiv beteiligen? Und was knnen wir als Kursleiter oder als ehrenamtlich Beschftigte in der Erwachsenenbildung dazu beitragen, die Hemmschwellen der Betroffenen abzubauen? Gnther Beckstein, (*1943, deutscher Politiker) sagte: Bildungspolitik ist die Wirtschafts- und Sozialpolitik des 21. Jahrhunderts. Wir wollen mit Teilnehmern der anderen Programmlnder ber die jeweilige Bildungspolitik in ihrem Heimatland diskutieren und gemeinsam nach Anstzen und Ideen zur Verbesserung der aktuellen Situationen suchen. Gemeinsam werden wir das Kulturhistorische Museum in Magdeburg besuchen und die Teilnehmenden in einer vorbereiteten Simulation fr die Barrieren eines Analphabeten bei einem solchen Museumsbesuch sensibilisieren. Im Rahmen der Veranstaltung werden wir den Landtag 65

Sachsen-Anhalt besuchen, uns mit einer Abordnung der erwachsenenpolitischen Sprecher der Fraktionen im Landtag sowie funktionalen Analphabeten ber die Hrden der politischen Teilhabe von funktionalen Analphabeten austauschen. Wir wollen uns der Frage stellen, welche Medien zur Verbesserung der Lese- und Schreibfhigkeit von Erwachsenen eingesetzt werden und wie Barrieren in der Medienkompetenz berwunden werden knnen. Jeder Teilnehmende ist angehalten Materialien, die in seinem Heimatland zur berwindung der politischen und kulturellen Barrieren fr funktionale Analphabeten genutzt werden, mitzubringen. Er hat die Mglichkeit seine Erfahrungen und Ideen in der Gruppe zu prsentieren und im gemeinsamen Austausch neue Erkenntnisse und Anregungen zu sammeln. Zum Ende des Workshops soll eine Zusammenstellung der Materialien und der, in der gemeinsamen Arbeit gemachten Erfahrungen und Ideen erarbeitet werden.

Storytelling als motivierende Methode beim Erlernen der Schriftsprache

Subject area: Literacy / Alphabetisierung Working language(s): EN / DE Target Group + Translation: The target group for this workshop are teachers and those undertaking voluntary work in adult education who use the method of storytelling in their work with functional illiterates or who want to learn about this method in order to add another facet to their work in this area. Die Zielgruppe fr diesen Workshop sind Lehrende und ehrenamtlich in der Erwachsenenbildung Beschftigte, die in ihrer Arbeit mit funktionalen Analphabeten die Methode des Storytellings nutzen oder diese Methode kennenlernen mchten, um ihre Arbeit in diesem Bereich damit zu bereichern. Main activities Programme + Programme translation: Helen Hayes (an American actress) once said, We dont stop playing because we get old; we get old because we stop playing. Life-long learning also means being prepared to try new things throughout ones lifetime. Stories and play are memorable and long-lasting ways to absorb new knowledge. Functional illiterates often have a history which involves various disruptions in their social and/or educational environment. Many of them suffer from a lack of a sense of self-worth and fear of failure. This is exactly where imparting knowledge often reaches its limits. Storytelling is an outstanding method of using jokes, games and craft activities to build bridges and create a sense of achievement. Every one of us can bring something to society with our skills, so everyone can learn from everyone else through storytelling. This method puts the learner in the position of the teacher and vice versa. Mutual understanding is created on both sides and respectful social intercourse is improved. In this workshop, we offer the opportunity to discover the storytelling method through various approaches and to contribute and present ones own experiences. Participants will have the space and time to discuss their experiences from their institutions/organisations, present them to the other participants and act them out together. We will invite four functional illiterates from Saxony-Anhalt to the workshop. They will try out the various approaches to storytelling with us and join us in our exchange of experience. Alongside personal enrichment of the participants, we want to create a small collection of games and suggestions based on storytelling, in order to teach the written language in a trans-national context. To help with this, participants are requested to share their ideas with us in advance and to bring them with them to the event. Helen Hayes (US-amerikanische Schauspielerin) sagte einmal: Wir hren nicht auf zu spielen weil wir alt werden, wir werden alt weil wir aufhren zu spielen. Lebenslanges Lernen bedeutet auch, ein Leben lang bereit zu sein, sich mit Neuem auseinanderzusetzen. Geschichten und Spiel sind einprgsame und nachhaltige Wege, um sich neues Wissen anzueignen. Funktionale Analphabeten haben oft eine Geschichte mit verschiedenen Brchen im sozialen und/oder schulischen Umfeld. Viele von ihnen leiden unter einem mangelnden Selbstwertgefhl und Versagensngsten. Gerade an diesem Punkt gert das Vermitteln von Wissen oft an seine Grenzen. Storytelling ist eine 67

hervorragende Methode, um mit Witz, Spiel sowie handwerklichen Aktivitten Brcken zu bauen und Erfolgserlebnisse zu schaffen. Jeder von uns kann die Gesellschaft mit seinen Fhigkeiten bereichern und so knnen im Storytelling alle voneinander lernen. Durch diese Methode kommt der Lernende auch in die Position der Lehrenden und umgekehrt. Hierbei wird auf beiden Seiten Verstndnis freinander geschaffen und ein wertschtzender Umgang miteinander gestrkt. Wir bieten in diesem Workshop die Mglichkeit, die Methode des Storytellings in verschiedenen Herangehensweisen zu entdecken sowie eigene Erfahrungen einzubringen und zu prsentieren. So werden die Teilnehmenden Raum und Zeit haben, die Erfahrungen aus ihren Einrichtungen/Organisationen zu diskutieren, den anderen Teilnehmern zu prsentieren und sie gemeinsam durchzuspielen. Zu diesem Workshop werden wir 4 funktionale Analphabeten aus Sachsen-Anhalt einladen, die mit uns die verschiedenen Ansatzmglichkeiten des Storytellings ausprobieren und mit uns in den Erfahrungsaustausch gehen. Neben der persnlichen Bereicherung der Teilnehmenden wollen wir eine kleine Sammlung von Spielen und Anregungen auf der Grundlage des Storytellings, zur Vermittlung der Schriftsprache im transnationalen Kontext, erstellen. Dazu werden die Teilnehmenden gebeten, uns ihre Ideen im Vorfeld mitzuteilen und diese zur Veranstaltung mitzubringen.

Von Netzen, Knoten und losen Fden - Kooperationen in der Alphabetisierung und Grundbildung

Subject area: Alphabetisierung / Literacy Working language(s): DE / EN Target Group + Translation: Mitarbeitende aus den Bereichen Alphabetisierung und Grundbildung, Netzwerk-Mitwirkende, Ehrenamtliche oder Mitarbeitende aus Bildungs- oder Beratungseinrichtungen

Main activities Programme + Programme translation: Auf der Grundlage einer Netzwerktheorie zur Anwendung auf Lebenslanges Lernen sollen die Teilnehmenden ein besseres Verstndnis von Funktionen und Bedeutungen verschiedener Netzwerktypen bekommen. Das Wissen ber Netzwerkanalysen, ber Mglichkeiten der Initiierung und des Managements bildet die Basis fr eine Weiterentwicklung der lehrenden, beratenden oder leitenden Ttigkeiten. Networking macht mobil und frdert damit zugleich die Fhigkeit zur Mitgestaltung. Der Workshop ist praxisnah ausgerichtet, es finden deshalb berwiegend solche Methoden Anwendung, die die Kommunikation zwischen den Teilnehmenden frdern. Sowohl durch Bezug auf das Projekt der Akademie Klausenhof "GINIWE" (Grundbildungsinitiative Niederrhein und Westmnsterland") als auch durch Prsentation von Good-Practice Beispielen lernen die Teilnehmenden hemmende und frderliche Faktoren fr erfolgreiche Netzwerkarbeit kennen. Durch Einbezug lnderspezifischer Rahmenbedingungen und aktueller Herausforderungen knnen Mglichkeiten des Transfers diskutiert werden. The workshop is suitable for all people who are somehow professionally involved in networking structures and/or in the field of basic or literacy education: employees in literacy and basic education, voluntary workers, trainers and managers. By getting to know a network-theory that refers to lifelong learning the participants get a better idea of the function and meaning of different kinds of networks. The knowledge about networkanalyzing or ways to initialize and manage a network helps to improve their competence in teaching, coaching or managing. Being involved in networking processes includes the mobility to get in contact with decision makers and further employees in the field of literacy and basic education. The workshop is therefore mainly based on methods that help the participants to share their experiences made within different contexts. Some subjects will refer to the project "GINIWE" which is supported by the BMBF and currently carried out by the Akademie Klausenhof. This initiative aims for raising the awareness of people with lower grades of literacy in this region. The workshop also includes a visit to the German Federal Literacy Association (Bundesverband Alphabetisierung und Grundbildung). The association is not only a lobby for functional illterates it also offers experience and competence in literacy and basic education. Workshop Organiser: Akademie Klausenhof gGmbH 73

Marionnette et illetrisme

Subject area: Literacy Working language(s): FR Target Group + Translation: Participants are teachers,instructors,educators (or volunteers) implied in the fight against illiteracy. They are dealing excluded publics (children / youth / adults) and / or having been excluded from the knowledge base. They aim to interrupt the path of school/social exclusion generated by illiteracy and to give these audiences access to their 'cultural rights'. They want to question their practice through artistic tools (shadow theater and puppets) that can used for their educational process. With these new tools (build / manipulate / interpret) and methodology (group dynamics / fun exercises / autonomy ...), they want to encourage new learning dynamics and reduce the 'cultural gap'.Participants wish to discover how puppetry, shadow theater and more generally artistic practices can become tools to facilitate integration / reintegration into a learning basic skills (reading writing, speaking). They are questionning the standards of 'excellency' and 'evaluation' in place, that can become ' exclusion factories.' In this workshop, they want to discover artistic tools that will help the trainee to become co-producer of educational processes. By developing their 'toolkit', they want to adapt their processes and have a better knowledge of the differences of the person to whom they are adressing.Finally, the workshop participants want to compare their knowledge to other professionals from all over Europe. They want to discuss about the (good / bad) practices. They want to share the experience they live in their working structures and consider European cooperation to reduce illiteracy, functional literacy and learning difficulties in acquiring basic (read / write) ... Main activities Programme + Programme translation: If reading, counting, writing is a right, it is not an obvious one nowadays. With this workshop, the association Les Mille et Une Vies wants to bring participants to develop the artistic techniques (puppet theater and shadow) as innovative tools that can participate in social, educational, cultural nclusion. The purpose of this workshop will not be to learn participants how to teach ( neither how to make them artists) but to transfer technical and artistic tools that they will be able to use in their pedagogical processes to fight against illiteracy. Refering to experiments conducted with people experiencing exclusion (social / school / disability / ...) the association will lead participants to understand how to fight against failures (related to a process of devaluation individual or bypass difficulties) with art tools. The use of puppetry and shadow puppetry aims to develop each person's reality and its ability to be part of a process of acquiring knowledge base, by giving back the desire to learn.Easily reproductible tools and techniques allow to put people at the center of learning in a collaborative process (and not in a rivalty or competition process with other individuals in the group).From imagination to the built object, from the object to oral improvisation, from improvisation to writing, from writing to restitution, this workshop aims to transfer participants tools and techniques which, in the service of educational processes, will become facilitators of basic skills learning (reading / writing / numeracy). The association will proceed in step by step in order to make participants discover how an artistic practice can intervene in their processes and bring 95

those who live illiteracy to make the step to 'the letter'.UNIT 1 / Reflection on an educational process adapted to the reality of a public - Codes and symbols, how to circumvent the difficulty of acquisition? Difficult times (or how to overcome them) - Time sharing findings about the participants and the practice of the Association. The association has selected many nationalities (7 to 10), a first intercultural exchange will allow each participant to express the place where he talks, about the reality of 'the illiteracy 'he encounters daily in his working structure. Then the association will present the experiments conducted with people experiencing cultural exclusion. Through testimonies from representatives of structures (Teachers (college), Educators (Handicap / Prison) and Master Trainer Referrer knowledge base) with whom the association has worked, the specific audiences and the impact of their practice on their situations will be presented. Unit 1 will conclude with an exchange about the general targets of the workshop: the fight against failure situations, exclusion or illiteracy, how to overcome difficulties through artistic practice.UNIT 2 / Developping tools that will strengthen the educational process - Discovering time (handling / construction / Interpretation / restitution) to put the practice (puppet / shadow theater) in the service of inclusion. If we want the participants ,once back in their environment, to have the ability to think and to use the tools in the context of their educational projects, we need to transfer a functional toolbox (construction / vocal exercises / exercises handling / objects of representation). These tools and techniques are tools of artistic value but can also trigger human speech and desire to learn. In this Unit 2, the association will provide an understanding of these specific tools for theses practices. Acquiring heating techniques(vocal exercises, diction, physical exercises ...) handling, construction and interpretation, participants will acquire functional tools that can be used to serve their project and / or their educational process. Undersatanding the specificities of an art form that moves the eye to the object, protecting the interpreter, they will understand how to capture it, to bring the word to those who took distance with it. Participants will learn about the 3 pillars of practice Warm up / prepare The body (balance / relaxation / pulse ...) The Voice (tone / silence / projections ...) Being and group (steps / games / trust ...) Build / Handle / Interpret Hand Puppet (speech and catharsis ...) Shadow Theatre (poetic narration ...) Showing results Puppet Sheath / Shadow Theatre Unit 3/ Exchanging at an European level/ Construct new rules / From the workshop to the 'virtual home', how to initiate a laboratory exchange that reflects new pedagogical approaches integrating the arts as a tool for knowledge. By appropriating art tools and techniques that pull the public at the heart of learning processes, participants will be in capacity to re-examine 'the factory of inequality.' By relativizing the concepts of 'excellence' ,'failure', 'they can transform the normative procedures and move towards integration / inclusion of public suffering from illiteracy. Based on the discovery and exchanges arose during this workshop, students are encouraged to consider the construction of a 'virtual home' that enables them to continue trading, reduce isolation, and disseminate their experience. In the following of the workshop, registration in a laboratory exchange allows participants to reflect new approaches to intercultural education. Workshop Organiser: Contact details: Ass.

Construire un module de formation pour lutter contre l''illtrisme

Subject area: Literacy Working language(s): EN Target Group + Translation: This workshop is open only to actors (professionals and volunteers) from adult education and fighting against illiteracy. It aims to strengthen the skills of the actors in the implementation of training modules related to the acquisition of basic knowledge among adult migrants. Furthermore, it aims to promote the exchange of ideas about professional practice and led all players on its national territory. This European dimension of reflection and action will expand, enrich and share the approaches confrontations conceptual, pedagogical and methodological to become familiar with the diversity of systems and practices put in place by the actors. Main activities Programme + Programme translation: The proposed workshop focuses on teaching engineering to discover new methods and techniques and acquire new skills in this area. To do this, the proposed activities combine situational learning and cultural meetings, individual and group work with restitution in a large group, educational workshops related to knowledge bases, the professional context of the action (conceptual fields and political), educational games, case studies, debates, exercises in reading and speaking, collective production, observations, analyzes and evaluations. In addition, our program is as follows: The first two days of the workshop will be devoted to preparing educational, linguistic and cultural participants to enable them to acquire the fundamentals regarding the French language (listening and speaking) and cultural codes of the country (the gestures, postures, behaviors). This preparation allows participants to quickly adapt to the cultural challenges they face. On the other hand, it has another impact that makes sense and all its relevance to our workshop. Indeed, by setting total immersion in the French language and cultural environment, it also allows them to live life by themselves, that a migrant may feel in this situation. So from that point of view, the proposed pedagogical situation allows them to live this unique experience to which they must support, and response within their practices professionnellles. This posture learner will enable them to better understand the emotions and feelings associated with the lack of control of an environment in which you want to change. This learning experience offers the opportunity to discover the different stages motivational, cognitive, social and emotional that come into play in the process of ownership and acquisition of knowledge for successful integration. Debriefing and analysis of the experiences enable each participant to share the group's feelings, his emotions, his locks, his triggers, his motivational process of how they learn, etc.. Exchanges will highlight what is common to all and what is unique to each individual in a learning situation. This allows participants to become aware of different learner profiles in a group and need to be taken into account in the construction of a training module.

Similarly, an analysis of the methods and tools selected will identify what pleases or not and how the method meets the learning objectives. This leads us to explain the link between methods, tools and pedagogy chosen itself connected to the educational values ??defended. The third day will be devoted to the frameworks of illiteracy present in each country, but also at European and international institutions. This framework is important because it defines the scope of actors and also highlights the political approach to the treatment of language rights as defined in the conventions of the Council of Europe. For example, France will present the distinction between illiteracy, illiteracy, French language and French language integration now. This framework cloisonne situations and by the same token funding to fight against illiteracy. We will share approaches and challenges reveals this framework and it has resulted in our business practices. Similarly, we address the issue of those basic skills and key competencies as defined in the European framework. On the 4th day, we discuss the profiles of the learners, in relation to the institutional framework, discussed yesterday. It will identify different motivations exist (eg I want to learn to read, write and count for my ID and my resident card because it is mandatory to have a certificate that proves my learning , to have autonomy in my daily life, to find work, etc.).. Motivations are essential to understand to build training modules that combine the individual to the group. Similarly, the content covered will be different because the objectives of departure. Meanwhile, we address the issue of resources and learners (time spent on language learning, material resources, etc.). That same day we discuss the social and cultural dimension of the relationship to knowledge and what it implies in terms of blocks or triggers in learning. This necessarily leads us to question the place of the trainer in this report and know the consequences this has for the learners. The gender dimension will also be addressed to better understand the reactions of learners. Indeed, being a man or a woman may lead to refusal or discomfort that causes a blockage in learning. Similarly, we will, in addition, the trainer's image vis--vis the public and the consequences it has in the process of transmission of knowledge and evaluation of learning. The social and cultural representations of each of the actors (learners and instructors) will be treated to objectify a maximum work and learn more about themselves and more about the audience of learners. On the 5th day, we will work on the fundamentals of instructional design. He will learn how to build A to Z training module from the learners' needs related to the objectives of the sponsor of the action (institution, association, etc.) and educational objectives related to cognitive processes 98

(knowledge, understand, apply, analyze, synthesize, evaluate). Arising from these contents, methods, tools, materials and course evaluation grids of learning achieved. We will work on aborescence content in their educational dimension: specific objectives, planned activities, the resulting tasks, the course of the sequence, the instructions given to learners evaluation. Finally, we discuss the issue of training evaluation by learners and what this means in terms of content (methods, tools, content, pace, material, space planning, posture trainer, etc.) and results if done hot (last day) or cold (several days or weeks after training). Days 6 and 7 will be devoted to the realization of practical workshops on learning basic skills: reading, writing and arithmetic. We present our methods and tools and explain our choices. Some activities we will get to see outside the city in its cultural and social dimension to a better understanding of the environment. It is also the ocassion to learn new words and expression (eg, a pedestrian, a roundabout, a tram, a bus stop, etc.) and practice of learning (eg, counting its currency, read a map, etc). A trip to the library will be held to promote culture and knowledge. A presentation of the premises and their use will be provided by the librarian. Participants will learn how to fill out a membership form, borrow a book etc.. Well, we'll take in a museum to see works by playing team from a questionnaire that we give to the entry. All these activities are practices that we conduct all our training sessions so that learning basic skills are related to the acquisition of social and cultural skills essential for effective integration and ownership of the citizenship. Through these practices, we want to give all participants, European interest and relevance to expand the learning space to the eyes of our public learners. This sharing of methods appears to us essential to our business practices also have an educational, social and cultural. Meanwhile, participants will be invited to present to the group activities they implement the methods and tools they use. Exchanges and discussions to share and to share all of these elements. Confrontations conceptual, methodological and pedagogical promote analysis and argumentation. The eighth day will be devoted to a scenario where small groups, participants will build an entire training sequence from a given framework. To stay in reality, we leave old tenders official institutions (ACSE, employment center, county council, etc.). They will have the full day to this. They will build, not the training design overall, but how the present design (objectives, contents, methods, evaluation) and build from a chosen target, a sequence 1h pedagogical (educational objectives targeted, methods, tools, etc.), specifying what would have been done before and what came along. They will explain the reasons for their choice of teaching all niveux the sequence shown (objective, method, content, course, rubric, etc.). The ninth day, each small group runs its sequence to the large group. A debriefing is then performed in order to have the return of students lived on the sequence (method, content covered, preferred methodology, course ...), what they liked and why. In a second step trainers are encouraged to share their feelings sequence: goal achieved or not, the difficulties, the ongoing adaptation of sessions, etc.. They will also say what they like and not like and why and. An analysis of the situations posed and will complete assessments made ??by the process of theoretical, methodological and practical to improve professional practice. The 10th and last day will be devoted to reviews and evaluations: assessment of teamwork for the construction and completion of the sequence. Individual assessment of learning achieved during the week. Evaluation of learning with trainers. Evaluation written individual training. Collective assessment of oral training. e method meets the learning objectives.

Quels sont les contextes, comment l'approche culturelle est-elle prise en compte dans les dispositifs (cadres institutionnels, politiques publiques) et dans les programmes de formation? Quels sont les acteurs en prsence et comment cooprent-ils? Quelles formes d'actions culturelles sont particulirement adaptes pour enrichir les programmes de formation et appuyer le parcours des apprenants? L'atelier aura pour objectif de prendre la mesure du rle et de la place de l'action culturelle dans le processus de formation des personnes illettres en confrontant les cadres de travail, les traditions culturelles et les pratiques mises en etoelig;uvre dans les diffrents pays d'Europe. A partir de ces lments et en tenant compte d'enjeux la fois diversifis et communs, il proposera d'approfondir 2 aspects: - les formes de coopration et de partenariat entre formateurs et acteurs culturels, - les formes d'actions culturelles (disciplines artistiques, types de pratique) qui permettent d'apporter une dimension supplmentaire aux programmes et pdagogies de formation en littratie. Le programme s'articulera autour de diffrents types d'activits : - Des apports thoriques visant prciser les enjeux de l'action culturelle dans la lutte contre l'illettrisme l'chelle europenne, - Des confrontations et changes d'expriences entre les participants afin d'enrichir les pdagogies de chacun et de favoriser des transferts de pratiques, - La construction d'une grille mthodologique pouvant servir de support la mise en place d'actions culturelles dans le cadre des formations, - L'exprimentation et l'analyse d'une pratique articulant diffrents langages artistiques, vcue collectivement. CULTURAL ACTION IN THE PROCESS OF FIGHT FOR LITERACY -Stakes, partnerships, practices How do cultural action and the fight for literacy conjugate in the various European countries ? What are the different contexts, how are cultural approaches taken into account in training programs, institutional frames and public policy ? Who are the actors and how do they cooperate? What forms of cultural actions are particularly adapted to enrich training programs and to support learners throughout their training ? The workshop's objective is to evaluate the role and the place of cultural action in the process of training of illiterate persons by confronting working environments, cultural traditions and practices implemented in the various countries of Europe. From these elements and by taking into account at the same time diverse and common stakes, it will suggest focusing on 2 aspects: - forms of cooperation and partnership between trainers and cultural actors, - forms of cultural actions (artistic disciplines, types of practice) which introduce an additional dimension to the programs and the pedagogies of literacy training. The program will be 106

organised around various categories of activities: - Theoretical dimension to define the stakes of cultural action in the fight for literacy on a European scale, - Confrontations and exchanges of experiences between participants to enrich each other's teaching techniques and enable transfers of practices, - elaboration of a methodological canvass which will be used in the implementation of cultural actions within the framework of the trainings, - The experiment and the analysis of a practice articulating various artistic languages, lived collectively.

Lutte contre l''e-lettrisme

Subject area: Literacy Working language(s): FR Target Group + Translation: Learners of the workshop will be adult educators working in the field of illiteracy through about non-formal education. These will be professionals who have an interest to fight illiteracy trough skills around ICT (Information and communication) and media skills. Main activities Programme + Programme translation: Medias are now very pregnant in the life of European citizens in terms to access of information. To have access to the media it is necessary to have basic skills in writing, reading (access to print, internet and television) as well as basic digital skills. The use of media can be a means and a support in the fight against illiteracy. It is in this workshop that professionnal can be trained in the use of the media (like animation of a blog) so they understand how this support allows the acquisition of technical writing and reading skills. These activities will train professionnals to the animation of a blog and media as alternative learning methods. The three types of activities will be times of practice (acquisition of ICT skills, animation of a blog, use of videos and photographic support to learn writing and reading), times to discus and times to cary out a support guide. Pratice activities around ICT requires key skills like creating and running a website, animation of collaborative writing supports, the use of a word processor. This means to control a specific mode of expression and work around writing digital work that professionnals should be brought to conceptualize. Participants will be encourage to experiment with the use of this tools in languages not mastered by themselves. The use of photographic and videos supports will also be offered as they can help with writing, using a roundabout way like the use of synopsis, storyboard, novel photo,... We will have time to discuss about educationnal and pedagogical meanings of this activities. Time debate of teaching practice will facilitate the transfer of skills: what I have done can adapt to the different contexts? This work on skills transfer require a presentation of national context. Time will be dedicate to the realization of a paper on the activities and their educational interest in the fight against illiteracy. This time will be an opportunity for participants to formalize their learnings. This guide will be designed as a memory for participants but also asa tool more widely distribuable.

Creative thinking in literacy teaching

Subject area: Literacy Working language(s): EN Target Group + Translation: Professionals working in the field of adult education Teachers and staff in adult education dealing with the teaching of literacy to adult learners Future teachers and staff entering a role in teaching literacy to adults Trainers of such staff Professionals in adult education dealing with curriculum design for adult literacy classes

Main activities Programme + Programme translation: In pursuit of literate learners it is important to blend the four cornerstones of literacy: Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening, within learning experiences that have relevance to learners within a range of contexts. Fundamental to a sense of ownership of literacy learning and development is an ability to formulate personal ideas, directions and responses. Professionals (such as teachers and educators of adult learners) have to take this into account when devising learning opportunities to develop literacy skills of adults. The Creative Thinking in Literacy Teaching workshop brings together a number of key learning strategies and ancillary skills to provide professionals (teachers, trainers, curriculum designers and managers) with a ready-to-use methodology to deploy in adult literacy learning situations, both formal and non-formal. At the heart of the method exists: Creative Thinking techniques and strategies Informal learning principles Use of ICT tools in Creative Thinking and Literacy The range of professionals attending the workshop will be introduced to the fundamental principles of Creative Thinking as a generative tool, followed throughout the week by engagement with a series of established techniques, aligned to literacy learning activities. The focus will be firmly on creative thinking in practice and will provide many opportunities for participants to test, discuss, evaluate and refine individual techniques in the conception and application of learning resources. Principles of informal learning will be explored to establish strategies for developing responsive learning activities in relation to structured events and/or visits, notwithstanding that an understanding and application of these principles will enable responsive learning to occur spontaneously. In this instance creative thinking techniques are used to generate ideas / scenarios for informal learning. It should be noted that conversation development and practice is considered essential to literacy learning and as such it forms a significant part of the advocated method, as well as the delivery of the workshop. It is recognised that in both the application of Creative Thinking and literacy learning, a range of ICT tools exist to support both educators and learners. Therefore, the workshop will introduce and utilise the most relevant ICT tools to the situation(s), as a natural adjunct to other aspects of learning, creating a seamless relationship between the two. More specifically the workshop will include particular components addressing the following approaches to teaching literacy: Creative Thinking principles & techniques Developing responsive literacy activities Creative approaches to narrative Creative use of media Sharing of good practice Resource generation 123

Involve me and Ill understand The fundamental concept of active learning is getting learners to actively participate in their own learning and maximise the opportunities for interaction between educators, learners and materials, as well as amongst learners themselves. Actively engaging students in the learning process results in a number of educational benefits: enhanced learning, improved student attitudes, higher motivation, and most importantly, higher retention of students in education programmes. This 5day interactive workshop explores the concept of active learning and introduces a broad range of techniques and methodologies. The main objective of the workshop is to introduce adult education staff to the research supporting these pedagogical approaches and facilitate the adoption of a working knowledge of each of these techniques. It then facilitates a discussion how these techniques could be integrated into teaching literacy skills to adults. Participants will be actively encouraged to capitalise on the European dimension of the workshop and share their insights and competencies with each other.

Subject area: Literacy Working language(s): EN Target Group + Translation: NFE methods for foreign learners Teachers, Social Worker or Volunteers actively involved in teaching foreign language to immigrants. 20 Main activities Programme + Programme translation: The aim of the workshop is to develop participants individual and social skills, relevant to their personal development and learning needs. During the workshop, the participants creativity, teamwork skills, self-confidence and readiness for collaboration with others will be enhanced. Non formal education could have a positive influence in people with very different cultural and social background, so it can be used as a tool in the education process, providing competence development for personal self-esteem (specially for migrants that do not speak any single word of Italian language). Main activities of the Workshop are planned following the prototype of the simulation method. The programme of the Workshop consists of four different parts, where participants have an active role: they have to find out a solution to different types of problems accouring during the classroom sessions about different topics: new culture, difficulties of comprehension, cultural behavior and linguistic bareers. The participants are expected to use their knowledge in order to rise their abilities of problem solving about all the possible difficulties that every teacher could face off during his/her daily work with immigrants. The main is to create an adaptive lessons according to the different capabilities of the students to interact or understand another language. The main activites of the project are based on the usage of the Non formal education as a supporting method for facilitating the process of apprehension of a language to the foreigners. The introduction of NFE Education NFE methods can help to promote Community Content-Based Instruction within the formal educational system, because it: Involves students actively in identifying needs and finding solutions. -Promotes learning that is practical, flexible, and based on real needs. -Focuses on improving the life of the individual and/or community. -Encourages students to assess, practice, and reflect on their learning.-how to use NFE as a facilitator process during the working session. The Grundtvig Workshop will be divided into three blocks: -Block n.1 will cover the most significant debates on the use of Non formal education, -Block n. 2: The second (2 sessions) will furnish the most relevant method in the frameworks of literacy for foreigners (thanks to the use of simulation and role playings we will create a typical situation of difficulties in which very often the migrants have to face off during the classroom session and how we can solve it using NFE); -Block n. 3: participants will work with cultural behavior, about which aspects in them might have a greater impact on their own learning both from a linguistic and a cultural perspective.

European Urban Tales for the improvement for literacies of adults

Subject area: Basic skills Working language(s): IT Target Group + Translation: Strategies for helping immigrants and adults in problematic situations make the transition from functional to cultural literacy Teachers, educators, cultural mediators and librarians involved in adult education or L2 teaching 22 (2 of whom from the hosting country) Main activities Programme + Programme translation: The workshop deals with linguistic education and reading as means of democracy and participation. Reading should be considered as an indispensable instrument for the full realization of active citizenship. Recent investigations reveal that one in five adults does not acquire a level of literacy adequate to her or his practical and emotional needs. The workshop will be held at the XXX Ridef (Rencontre Internationale des Educateurs Freinet) meeting, entitled "Sguardi che cambiano il mondo. Abitare insieme la citt delle bambine e dei bambini" (Living together in the city of children. Gazes that change the world). It will offer us the opportunity to focus on reading the world skills with the aim of going beyond a literal and limited use of language and reading. We are going to explore the city in the same way we explore a language we wish to learn, or a story whose linguistic exploration yields to us a meaningful experience as opposed to a sense of alienation. Different working situations are going to be proposed to the participants: a) Knowledge exchange on language teaching and adult literacy teaching systems in the participants countries; sharing of ideas and skills about urban and social spaces encouraging or hindering integration and learning. b) Routes through the city allowing participants to directly experience the feeling of linguistic alienation encountered by illiterate individuals or foreigners, who are not yet capable of decoding the language of their host country. c) Reading and (re)narration of the explored spaces through stimuli tied to visual and performance arts; taking part as spectators in a forum of Theatre of the Oppressed; elaboration through digital technologies and recycled materials. d) Encounters with typical realities of the urban environment; use of the urban ateliers and visits to the exhibitions of Centro Internazionale Loris Malaguzzi; contributions by experts. e) The workshop ends with a reexamination of the experiences had during the workshop and with a public presentation of the produced materials. The workshop is going to be held in several languages, with English and French translation. Translation in six languages is guaranteed for the collective moments of the workshop (see point d).

Experiential learning as a tool for adult literacy education

Subject area: Basic skills Working language(s): EN Target Group + Translation: Literacy teachers, workplace literacy programs trainers, human resources managers, volunteerteachers 23 Main activities Programme + Programme translation: The theme of the Workshop: Experiential learning as a tool for adult literacy education includes the innovative focus in the field of adult literacy. The participants- 23 adult learners from min 10 European countries will have a chance to come to Torino to present their working methods in the field, present their organisations, find partners from future projects on European level. The Workshop will introduce to the learners the methodological approach of non-formal education and experiential learning as main part of it. As the theories of adult learning shows, the adults learn best if linked to the real-world tasks and relevant challenges. This is why the Workshop will involve learners in activities out of training room , outdoors, in context of reality. Experiencing them themselves, debriefing in context of adult literacy tools and transferring the learning to the workplans of the teachers and literacy trainers- will be all together the core of the Workshop. The learners will therefore go through the lessons of Cyrillic writing and reading, city game, cooking together and simulation games that will all create a chance for experience and meta-level discussion on benefits of the method. Last but not least, the learners will use that experience to create their own experiential learning methods and test them in the frame of the workshop. At the end the methods will be collected to the manual, disseminated to wider public involved in the field. Finally, the picture of provision of adult literacy in Europe will be completed by presentation of Italian good practices in the field of adult literacy, input and discussion with Ministries of Education. The European aspect of the problem will be widely discussed so that the learners will develop their follow up projects in the spirit of common European approach.

Alphabets of tomorrow

Subject area: Basic skills Working language(s): EN Target Group + Translation: Application of theatrical and artistic techniques in linguistic literacy tutor and teachers of linguistic literacy, especially in a second language 20 Main activities Programme + Programme translation: The workshop aims to offer a learning experience of the application of theatrical and artistic techniques and their possible application to linguistic literacy for adults. The workshop will allow the participants to be in a process of learning by experience followed by an analysis of instruments and methodologies of learning. The inspiration of the work is the creation of personal alphabets in the learning language (L2) through the realization of artistic installations and theatrical performances. These new alphabets are not only made of letters, but also of signs and words that has a special meaning for the persons that create them. Building an alphabet its a possibility to look for authentic meanings of words and to find in the same time forms of communications with the others making effort to understand and to be understood. We will have practical sessions followed by moments of debriefing and reprocessing the experience. The work will have a theoretical approach related to the use of theatrical and artistic methodologies in literacy. We will give to learners the basic techniques and the fundamental rules to use these techniques. We will leave to the individuals the possibility to express their creativity and the ideas linked to the workshop. There will be also a moment of workshop open to the learners and teachers of local organization working in the field of literacy and a final exposition of the products realized to the local community.

Enhancing audio-visual digital literacy

Subject area: Basic skills Working language(s): EN Target Group + Translation: Audio-Visual Digital Literacy Teachers, educators, tutors, assistants and volunteers working for the literacy of disabled people, immigrants and special cases 24 Main activities Programme + Programme translation: Inspired by the results we are obtaining from our work with people with intellectual and sensorial disabilities(mute, deaf, visually impaired and blind), with non E.U. immigrants(Sub-Saharians and political refugees from the War in Libia in 2011) and with adults (unemployed and special cases of social re-integration), we rely on Audio-Visual Digital Literacy to enhance these "Fewer Opportunities" abilities to communicate, interact and be socially included. However, the Workshop "Enhancing Audio-Visual Digital Literacy" is directly designed for people working with them: teachers, educators, tutors, assistants and volunteers. The latters, on their turn, will be able to play a cascading, multiplying role. Audio-Visual Digital Literacy is based on the concept of communication (in-coming and out-going) through elementary sounds and images with photo/video cameras and computers (digital tools). Each one of us,as a child, learnet to associate sounds and images to feelings, thoughts, simple and complex meanings. In the case of people with disabilities, immigrants or adults with difficulties in communicative interaction where either speaking, listening or seeing are not available, the role played by teachers, educators, tutors, assistants and volunteers is essential to enhance the other communication faculties which are available. Therefore, training them, giving them further competences and creating new opportuniites to share their previous knowledge in the field of literacy during the workshop "Enhancing Audio-Visual Digital Literacy" are primary conditions to obtain tangible results with the groups of learners whom they follow on a daily basis. We strongly underline that the process of audio-visual digital literacy is complementary also for whom is engaged exclusively in language literacy (by language we mean any mothertongue, sign language per deaf and mute people and a foreign language for intercultural communication) and for whom is engaged exclusively in IT literacy (knowledge and usage of hardware and software). Our workshop begins with the role of literacy played by the Media, from their most general characteristics to their specific work with photos, videos and software; afterwards, through some practical practise and exercises will realise several audio-visual products which can be of some help when teaching, developing and enhancing the communication in the learners (direct and indirect ones). We will work also on the non formal learning methodologies ("Coaching", "Peer to Peer" and "Open Space") and on the techniques to obtain involvement, participation and creativity at work. The workshop programme is organised by days and themes. After setting a safe space where the participants can feel comfortable in a trusting and cooperative atmosphere, we will focus more specifically on the Audio-Visual Digital Media; there will be days dedicated to Photography, then some to Videos, some others to editing and post-production. We will focus on the potentialities and effects of the "Social Media" on groups of people particularly "sensitive", as the ones whom our participants work with, on a daily basis. The following days we will deal with working techniques to handle groups, feedback and sharing with creative sessions of literacy activity to use after the workshop. At the end of the workshop, we will prepare some 159

processes to evaluate the project and plan the follow-up activities altogether, which will complete the experience of the workshop "Enhancing Audio-Visual Digital Literacy".

Creative reading? Why not! Learning to read and write does not just happen people need to be motivated to learn. Similarly, high quality teaching does not just happen it requires high quality teachers and instructors. In addition, the context in which learning and teaching takes place also helps determine the effect on both learners and teachers as we can read in the Report of EU High Level Group of Experts on Literacy. Therefore, Initiative Fund Foundation invites adult education and literacy staff to participate in a unique Grundtvig workshop devoted to adult literacy with the focus on reading skill. The participants will have a chance not only to develop well-known and familiarize with new teaching methods, but also share experience with other participants coming from various European countries, and it all will take place in Lublin - a City of Inspirations. 185

After the workshop, its participants will be equipped with various didactic tools of carrying out lessons for adult students willing to develop their reading and dealing with information skills. They will learn more about psychological and pedagogical background of teaching adults and how to adapt teaching approaches to the needs of adult learners and readers. Finally, this workshop will seek to teach the participants creative exercises to increase motivation and concentration of their students, help them get out of their comfort zones, which will improve their performance and enable to learn more efficiently.

Literacy through theatre and drama in education

Subject area: Literacy Working language(s): EN Target Group + Translation: Teachers, trainers, moderators, facilitators working with illiterate adults

Main activities Programme + Programme translation: Creative dramatics depends of the integration of the language processes, most especially speaking, listening, and reading, and, to a somewhat lesser extent, writing. In theatre and drama, participants use their communication skills and gain additional practice with them to improve those skills. Exercises as oral story building, storytelling, role-playing, and the development of dialogue in drama give participants practice in developing speech in ways that are relevant to their oral language needs in everyday life. The many verbal and even nonverbal activities that are part of drama can be used to aid language acquisition and growth. Participants involved in drama are introduces to new words and can use their enriched and expanded vocabulary in simulated real-life situations so that the meaning of language can be more easily assimilated. The mornings will focus on a specific theme (using theatrical tools through individual and collective improvisation games, speech, role playing and dramatization, relation and teambuilding exercises). The topics are: Introduction & Warm-up of the group, Rediscovering talking & Public speaking, Senses & Body language, Circle of energy & Concentration games, Improvisation & Competition, Relation & Teamwork, Relaxation & Feed-back/Evaluation. Part of the evenings will be used to project and discuss representative movies with social educational message from the countries participating in the workshop and working on a short theatre moment that will be presented at the end of the workshop for the local audience. It will be called final presentation. The proposed schedule is: Day 1: Welcoming of the participants and first contact Learning Day 1: Introduction & Warm-up of the group In the first day, we introduce ourselves using ice-breaking games in order to create a first contact and communication with the group we are going to work with. Very important is to fix together some goals that are to be achieved from this 7 days and to understand the specific needs of participants. / Evening: Film projection and debate Learning Day 2: Rediscovering talking & Public speaking! Starting from the first day discussions and activities we learn how to express our personality through words and how to make ourselves listened and understood by the others. We invite the participants to focus on themselves and improve their way of speaking. Through individual and collective exercises, we try to make them aware of their own speaking problems and to offer solutions to solve them. / Evening: Working at the final presentation. Learning Day 3: Senses & Body language! The main goal of this day is to encourage the participants to be more conscious regarding their body and personal understanding of the others by using senses, this sensorial way being helpful not only in theatre, but also in everyday life. Through senses, also a non-verbal communication is created inside the group. Non-verbal communication is also an important tool for illiterate people, and for people with different disabilities representing a very important tool for any participants. Evening: Film projection and debate. Learning Day 4: Circle of Energy & Concentration games In a group the energy circulates natural but not always in a constructive or addressed way. Through dynamic games, the energy becomes an instrument for 208

playing and interaction with the colleagues. Our exercises are designed to build those skills that are straightforward, aligning the mind, the body and the status. Our exercises aim to facilitate to the participants their understanding of the importance of personal information which is exchanged at non-verbal level. Working with illiterate people is a continuous process of applying this type of communication with people Drama is not only fun. It implies also concentration, self-awareness and responsibility. Evening: Working at the final presentation. Learning Day 5: Improvisation & Competition! Improvisation will be used for : - enhancing the creativity and communication skills of the participants; - developing fundamental skills for us such as: trust, spontaneity, listening and awareness, storytelling, non-verbal communication. / Evening: Film projection and debate. Learning Day 6: Relation & Teamwork! Games and reflections on this topic: Even if one is unaware of it, human relationships are structured in a theatrical way. The use of space, body language, choice of words and voice modulation, the confrontation of ideas and passions, everything that we demonstrate on the stage, we live in our lives. We are theatre! (Augusto Boal) the participants learn and exchange experiences about team working and importance of it in their professional life./ Evening: Working at the final presentation. Learning Day 7: Be CREATIVE! Relaxation & Feed-back/Evaluation of the week Spontaneity is a central element of dramaeducation that has an ever-present goal in its use. Playing is about spontaneity. It is a deeply transforming activity in which the primary goal is involvement. When youngsters play, they experience each other in a new way. Spontaneity needs not to be showy or dramatic : it can be unassuming. It can be present in the way you think, look at nature, dance or sing in the shower.... The essential qualities of a spontaneous act are an openness of mind, a freshness of approach, a willingness to take innovative action and an integration of the external with the internal. (Adam Blatner); Final presentation, evaluation forms and Farewell session. Day 9: Departure of the guests. The learners will be able to use new skills and competences in their professional activities with illiterate adults, but also in their personal, artistic and social life. They will improve their self-image and learn how to be creative and more powerful in their day-by-day activities with illiterate people, with disadvantaged people or with their families. Having the possibility to exchange experiences, learn and work together in an intercultural context, this will help them, in the future, to apply the knowledge gained here into their own community. Besides the daily schedule and learning activities, we will involve participation in performances, exercises as learning by doing. The participants will have the opportunity to exchange experiences from their professional work with illiterate adults and to apply and simulate the exercises in an European context.

The Learning Games

Subject area: Literacy Working language(s): EN Target Group + Translation: - Adult literacy teachers, tutors and the trainers of such teachers; - Counsellors or careers advisors ; - Former / unemployed teachers re-entering the profession after a period away from t

Main activities Programme + Programme translation: Main activities / programme of the Workshop The Learning Games is a methodology & know how transfer workshop on the Alternate Virtual Reality (AVR) method adapted to adults with literacy problems. AVR is a new approach to teaching that makes use of game-thinking and game mechanics in a non-game context in order to engage users and solve problems. The entire programme of the workshop is built on an Alternative Reality environment, to facilitate immersion and a proper understanding of the method. A brief example should make the method easier to understand at first glance. Our favourite example is the Tetris game, and we give this example always as people are quite familiar with the game and its addictivity. Tetris is an old electronic game where the player arranges falling blocks of various shapes into lines. It has been enormously successful worldwide. The game is highly addictive, although no real reward or outcome can be gained of it. Experiments show that if you were to give a task of arranging blocks as a task in class, students would quickly get bored and lose interest. What makes the same activity a source of fun and addiction as a game and a source of boredom as a task? What are the psychological mechanisms behind it? What are the motivating factors it uses? These were a few of the questions that started us thinking whether we could use the same psychological factors and mechanisms in teaching adults with literacy problems. And this is how Alternate Virtual reality came to life. AVR studies the psychological mechanisms that computer games use and bring them to class in order to improve learner engagement, motivation, participation and efficiency of the learning process.

"Step Up" aims further than the typical approaches of basic professional development skills like building a resume or preparing for an interview, assisted vocational questionnaires of other typical tools, without denying their merits of course. "Step Up" focuses on tools for planning and following through with plans, balancing career and life-choices, mentoring/coaching adults with literacy issues, tools for motivating learners.

Give a Sign of Silence: International Sign Language

Subject area: Literacy Working language(s): EN Target Group + Translation: Teachers and staffs working on education of deaf adults

Main activities Programme + Programme translation: Communication in an international context is a big challenge for deaf people. They need double translation- first, translation into their national language and second, translation into the national sign language. International Sign Language facilitates communication between deaf individuals at the international-level meetings, social projects, games etc. It also provides an opportunity for literacy education of deaf adults at the international-level with training of teachers and staff working in this field. Therefore the main activity of the workshop will be International Sign Language training. The method is creative, non-verbal, interactive and enjoyable with supporting activities like dancing, mime, sports and games. The visual media means will be used at the training stage and in supporting activities. The programme will start with activities for participants to know each other and to give names in sign language to each other. At the second stage, Basic International Sign Language will be taught to all participants in an interactive manner. They will use and practice the signs in dancing, mime and other activities to perform the task given at the next stage. An evaluation will be made by all participants at the end of each stage. During the workshop we will also focus on European dimension with the cultural evenings at which the participants introduce their country in an interactive way.
