Project’s Background
Learning and Educating in times of crisis (LLP presentation 2012)
Complex social tissue, where cohesion depends on the interdependences and differences (EU2020)
Intergenerational learning (IL) bring to the fore the question of “differences” that enrich (ET2020)
In the context of European Policies
Developing the adult learning sector – currently the weakest link in the LLL chain
Renewed focus on increasing participation, especially of those furthest from learning
Reinforcing the role of adults’ learning institutions
Qualifying Trainers of Adults
Intergenerational and family learning, a source ofnew skills for new jobs (EU2020)
For education is not the strict matter of the School anymore, but it is the result of life transitions along several experiences, which generate a personal llifelong earning space.
ALICE leit motiv: Adults as Educators for the Lifelong Learning Society
The problem: today’s adults were raised in the industrial society, by teachers trained to teach in old systems.
Adults, particularly those with low educational attainments, do not recognize the own creative role as educators.
They rely on the schooling system, which in many cases (i.e. immigrant parents, but also highly educated parents) have deeply different values with regard to the family identity and culture.
They do not spend enough quality time with children; either they do not search for quality advise with regard to their educational relationship with chidren.
Adults do not recognize their role as educators
Our thesis: adults as reflective educators, through joint creative experiences, will generate rich learning environments that are the base for XXI Century Skills: creativity, adaptability, expression of the self and collaboration with others.
The adult as reflective educator is able of learning from the own creative experience with the children.
Creative experiences generate the space for intergenerational dialogue.
◦ They decrease the stress of encountering diversity. A generation is a cultural field, and different generations face otherness
◦ They promote a collaborative, joint venture; the joy of creating together is the opportunity to open the heart, the mind, the soul to the otherness, as well as to self-critizise.
◦ They stimulate self-expression and agency.
What should be done? Reflecting on the own role as educators
ALICE: Creative Languages supporting Intergenerational Dialogue and Learning
European and non-European cultural heritage: ◦ art (music/paintings/theatre); ◦ elder people stories; ◦ children's literature;
Social media to promote sharing of learning results -digitalization of contents created above-
Games, according to children ages, to stimulate problem solving, creativity, entrepreneurship.
