Impact of the AEi Project: Adults, Employment and Inclusion / Impacto del Proyecto AEi: Adultos, Empleo e Inclusión
This book collects various experiences on Adult Education (EPA). They are a reflection of some tasks that are being carried out in several European countries in this field of education. All of them have been exposed and debated in the II International Congress of Adult Education (CyLaei 2022) https://www.unioviedo.es/cylaei/. This event was held face to face, and virtually, on June 30 and July 1, 2022. CyLAEI 2022 is part of the AEI Project https://www.unioviedo.es/aei/ Erasmus+ Project Ref. 2019-1-ES01- KA204-063815 “Teachers of adults implementing successful and innovative models of employment and social inclusion”.
The AEi (Adults, Employment and Inclusion) Project tries to introduce innovative and proven practical methodologies. These activities are aimed at solving the problem of unemployment and the consequent social exclusion. And this can be done from the perspective of educational institutions, entities or companies... with other complementary training actions. From 2019 to 2022, the members of this project traveled to learn about real examples in each of these contexts. They will then implement those models in their environments. The University of Oviedo (Spain) leads this project and has 4 partners: the Education of Castilla y León Administration (Spain), the Provincial Center for Adult Education of Padua (Italy), Ignacy Mościcki University of Applied Sciences in Ciechanów (Poland) and the educational center Borgå (Finland).
The contributions are as varied as adult education itself, and come from professionals, trainers, researchers and educational managers of Adult Education. The thematic lines try to regroup some areas of work: training for social inclusion, digital competence, educational methodologies, professional training, European dimension, future challenges and professional teaching qualification. On the other hand, we collect the written contributions derived from two round tables where these aspects have been debated, both from the Spanish perspective and from the perspective of other countries. Finally, six contributions are shown that follow the poster or infographic format, giving a more schematic and iconic view of the subject.
