CONTEST In an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world, traditional disciplinary approaches to the framing and resolution of social and economic problems deliver ever diminishing returns (as demonstrated by the emergency related to COVID-19)
Inclusive adult education is the key to sustainability and prosperity of society in future and entrepreneurial, social and civic competences becoming more relevant in order to ensure resilience and ability to adapt to change

.
OBJECTIVES The aim of the project team is to explore how we can respond to social and educational problems with a “living community-led co-design” and an “asset-oriented ethos”, supporting positive social change and the development of local, national, international adult educational policy discourse.
Our project, moreover, is inspired by the encyclical “Laudato Si”, to put the "Care of the Common Home" into practice.
It corresponds to key principles of adult education stated in Manifesto for Adult Learning in the 21st Century; to the OECD Education 2030 framework; is intended to respond to the objectives of the EU Council that in 2018 states: Non-formal and informal learning play an important role in supporting the development of essential interpersonal, communicative and cognitive skills.
The project partnership is determined to consolidate an inclusive and multi-agent strategy for adult education, based on a multiplicity of disciplines and learning languages, tackling adult educational poverty and educational exclusion through an innovative methodology and inclusive community learning environments, contributing to: extend and develop educator’s competences; increase the explicit educational power of the participatory and active citizenship processes; Integrate teaching / learning methods through different transformative languages and experiences.
PARTNERSHIP The main assets are: Social entrepreneurship, community health and generative welfare. (Sintagmi coordinator Italy); Education for active citizenship (Casa seis Portugal); Development and validation of competences and inclusive learning languages (Seme - Italy); exchange, between cultures, of artistic languages for educational purposes (Quilombo Lab Greece); international strategic consultancy and organizational health (Ivan Haus Co.
