DigitALAD – Digital Adult Educators: Preparing Adult Educators for a Digital World

In the future, 9 out of 10 jobs will require digital skills, as digital technologies are already used for work and employability in many sectors from education, training and healthcare to transport, farming and the information and communications technology industry. According to the Digital Skills and Jobs Policy, 16 Member States including Ireland, already recognised the importance of the development of digital skills of their citizens and are in the process or already adopted relevant strategies aimed at enhancing digital literacy and skills, while ome others not yet. The above hurdles are calling for collective transnational efforts to educate adults and prepare them for the digital world we live in.

DigitALAD is a KA2 project co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme and run by a consortium of 7 organizations in 6 European countries (Latvia, Cyprus, Belgium, Greece, Ireland and Spain). The main aim of the project is to build the capacity of adult educators to improve their digital literacy skills, through the use of innovative learning resources and promoting awareness of the importance of digital skills in adults.

Wires Crossed – Developing Community Media to Mitigate the Impact of Fake News

WIRES-CROSSED is a two-year KA2 Erasmus+ project that aims to build a community media framework that equips local communities with all the knowledge, skills and competences to develop, manage and maintain a comprehensive media service to local residents. Its main objective is to empower citizens and bring them together under a community media banner intent on promoting real news about their local community and area.

The project will pursue an asset-based community development approach to harness the assets within the local communities where partners are based and bring them together under a common community media banner intent or promoting real news about the local area to residents.

Over the course of the project, the implementing partners will develop a Community Audit Toolkit and Report documenting their local community’s media literacy that will then pave the way towards the production of a wide array of tools and resources to build their capacity in the field. These include:

  • Community Media Skills Development Resources
  • A Toolkit of Media Moderation Resources
  • An Induction Training for Adult & Community Educators
  • An online Interactive Learning Portal
