\"\" Functional illiteracy is a topic that is always more important in nowadays societies. But how can we help low-skilled adults who are at risk of a social exclusion?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is what partners of Decent<\/strong> have discussed on the 3rd<\/sup> and 4th<\/sup> of July during their third transnational meeting in Sofia, Bulgaria. A meeting which has been held at the Know and Can Ltd. Office, in the heart of the city, in an enthusiastic atmosphere of participation and collaboration.<\/p>\n

During the meeting the representatives of the CSC have talked and shared their feedbacks and suggestions with the partners from Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Spain and Cyprus.<\/p>\n

What has been already done? Which products and results have to be developed in the next months to combat functional illiteracy and how?<\/p>\n

These are some of the many topics that have been discussed. A special focus has been given to the expected outcomes<\/strong> which will be soon developed.<\/p>\n

In the past months two national surveys<\/em><\/strong> have been conducted in each partner country. Thanks to the support of the CPIA center of Palermo<\/a> (the center for adult education), a questionnaire which investigates the personal, communication, professional and IT competencies has been administered to low-qualified adults trying to understand which are in general the main weaknesses and points of strengths of the target group.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the results of the national surveys<\/em><\/strong>, it will be soon possible to compare the findings collected in each country understanding which are the main aspects and areas which may need specific attention.<\/p>\n

These results will also serve as basis for the development of the six modules course \u201cDecent Life without Illiteracy<\/em><\/strong>\u201d and for the implementation of the eTool<\/em>,<\/strong> a collaborative e-learning platform and digital resource to contribute to combating functional illiteracy.<\/p>\n

In the upcoming months, each partner will be in charge of the production of a module for the course \u201cDecent life without illiteracy<\/em>\u201d, which structure, time-line and contents division has been in this occasion defined.<\/p>\n

Partners will meet again in November in Cyprus, to analyse together the achieved results and the next steps to follow.<\/p>\n
