Pilnveidosim NVO izglītotāju kompetences sociālai iekļaušanai - NGO Competence
01/03/2022 - 31/08/2023

Project No. 2021-2-LV01-KA210-ADU-000049299

PROJECT SUMMARY

NGO Competence will be implemented over a 18-month period by five non-governmental organisations from European countries. The approved funding of the Erasmus+ program is 60000 EUR.

Objectives

1) to strengthen the partners' capacity as the NGO networks by providing a network with educators who have gained access to international non-formal adult education programs;

2) to promote the partners' NGO network member organizations' educators' inclusion in local and international training activities, thus actively strengthening the European dimension.

Planned results

1) increased quality of the partners' (NGO network's) work and methods by attracting trained educators, incl. those with limited opportunities;

2) developed capacity of the partners' (NGO network's) inexperienced member organizations for operating at the international level and in the field related to the objectives of these organizations;

3) increased the knowledge of the partners' (NGO network's) inexperienced member organizations' educators (incl. those with limited opportunities to 60%) about social inclusion, gender equality, innovations, the digital environment and advocacy, based on the common needs;

4) promoted changes in the understanding and experience of the partners' own (NGO network's) less experienced member organizations' educators (incl. those with limited opportunities), by ensuring their participation in local and international training and educational events.

Target group

NGO educators from the partner organizations' networks: staff, experts, volunteers (lecturers, consultants, moderators, etc.)

NGO educators are of different ages, different nationalities, both genders, immigrants, people with disabilities, low-income workers, seniors, with low education level, from contry-side, parents of the large family, etc.
