Adults Learning
This course offers its adult users the opportunity to acquire, update, complete, or expand their knowledge and skills for their personal and professional development through formal and non-formal education. We want to offer you the possibility of developing basic training, expanding and renewing your knowledge, skills, and abilities permanently.
Thus, the purpose of the course “TRAINING BASIC SKILLS” is to improve your professional qualification and develop your personal skills and participation in social, cultural, political, and economic life. We want to offer in particular a basic learning compatible with the learning of EPAS and other official adult training centers in Europe, which will facilitate you, once completed, to obtain official adult education certifications.
But this course will also help you develop tools for the critical analysis of your environment, and encourage you to directly participate in volunteering as a mechanism to build a more inclusive, diverse, and fair society.
This course proposes an innovative learning, not focused on memory or individual facts (like outdated education) but on the development of key competences through a virtual and personalized learning that you can conduct from home or even your smartphone. According to the European Parliament (the highest body of the European Union), through Recommendation 2006/962/EC, these competences are a combination of knowledge, skills, abilities, and attitudes appropriate to the context. This means that we do not only intend you to learn new things, but also learn how to do those things (skills) and how you face them (attitudes).
