Project description
A learning method for inclusive, cohesive and synergetic learning
The European Commission believes that everyone should have the lifelong right to access high-quality, inclusive training and re-qualification opportunities. This notion becomes crucial in the context of the 21st century's highly diversified learner population and educational systems in (post-)pandemic times. Reducing performance discrepancies and educational inequalities have become a central responsibility. The EU-funded KIDS4ALLL project will test a new learning method and environment designed for inclusive, cohesive and synergetic learning. Knowledge acquisition, skills training and co-creation of learning content through collaborative learning techniques will be at the centre of the project activities, that involve different educational contexts, online and offline instruments. The pilot action will involve nine countries and about 1 000 individuals.
Objective
KIDS4ALLL aims to implement a pilot action that will experiment a learning method and learning environment in formal, non-formal and informal educational contexts to address the integration challenges of migrant children.
The KIDS4ALLL learning method draws on (1) knowledge acquisition (2) skills training and (3) attitude transfer to convey lifelong learning competences as a whole within a collaborative and co-creative learning process. As a response to the educational needs of children, in particular of migrant children, and of educators as pathfinders for continuous lifelong and lifewide learning, the project is grounded on three Key Inclusive Development Strategies (KIDS) towards LifeLongLearning (LLL), which represent the specific objectives of the project:
1) Fostering acquisition, maintenance and cultivation of competences related to the 8 LLL key areas;
2) Enhancing the methodological competences of educators towards inclusive and participatory teaching, training and intercultural dialogue;
3) Testing the concept of peer-to-peer learning in the form of buddyship collaboration (guided pairing of learners) with the lifelong and lifewide dimensions of learning.
The learning method will be corroborated by the online and offline instruments that represent the KIDS4ALLL learning environment.
The KIDS4ALLL project team envisages implementation of the pilot action in formal, non-formal and informal institutions in 9 countries (3 of which non-EU), all chosen because of their specific and variegated migration and educational contexts, and reaching approximately 1000 members of the principal target groups defined by the project.
The impact of KIDS4ALLL will be brought about through the combined expertise of the consortium members, including academic institutions, civil society organizations and policymakers from 8 EU countries and 3 non-EU countries, and an International Advisory Board that covers six additional countries in Europe and beyond.
