Learning Light speaks at the Enable Conference, in Kraków, Poland
The Leonardo da Vinci seminar 'Enabling labour market entry and
mobility to disadvantaged groups engaging across Europe in learning
through innovation' will be held on 6th September 2011 in Krakow,
Poland.
The Enable project, an EU funded Leonardo Transfer of Innovation
project, has announced that its conference is to be held in Krakov,
Poland, on 6th September 2011. For further details visit the Enable
site (http://enable-lifelonglearning.ning.com/).
Efficio Poland is organising the conference along with Learning
Light. Additional speakers will come from Romania's IFES, as well as
Asset-tec, based in Athens, Greece; Fondazione Luigi CLerici of
Italy; The Workshop, based in Sheffield, UK, and the MRS Consultancy
also based in the UK.
The project has developed a unique methodology that uses both a
'digital engagement tool' -Page Designer - and an innovative
learner-led engagement methodology to engage hard-to-reach learners
across the five countries involved in the project.
In the UK, the project focused on the Somali community which has
proved to be very rewarding. Piloting of the methodology and
engagement tool has produced some very encouraging results.
It is the project's aspiration to make Page Designer available under
a Creative Commons License to be used for all those interested in
the tool and the methodology to engage with hard to reach learners.
Learning Light is already well known for its pioneering work with
hard-to-reach learners in the UK, having developed innovative
e-learning programmes for use by hard-to-reach groups, such as
offenders and the long term unemployed. We believe that the Enable
methodology and engagement tool are significant developments in this
field.
The aim of the seminar is to exchange experiences about learning and
the methods used in different countries in order to stimulate
disadvantaged groups. The seminar will promote the opportunities
that 'Leonardo da Vinci' gives opinion leaders and institutions of
vocational education in the development of lifelong learning.
The seminar is therefore primarily for representatives of the
vocational training institutions, Universities of the Third Age and
people wishing to develop co-operation in the framework of the
Leonardo da Vinci or Grundvig Program.
The seminar takes place on 6th September 2011, from 09.30 to 14.00
at the Hotel Holiday Inn, ul. Wielopole 4, Krakow.
The seminar will be conducted in English. Places are limited - and
will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. To attend the
