OK KEEP LEARNING

WAYS OF ATTRACTING ADULTS TO KEEP LEARNING is a project through which we want to encourage adults to come to our institutions to learn through "learning by doing", that means, they would have to use ICT and computers, learn English and use the Internet to acquire, select, assess, store, produce, present and exchange all kinds of information. They have to communicate and participate in collaborative networks, keeping in touch and exchanging information with other adult learners and promote a real inter-cultural dialogue by visiting each other's country.

Our aim is to attract more adult learners and we believe that the proposed activities will offer them:

• High motivation because they are going to work with subjects that have a close connection to their lives, like "journalists" making a report on their own town.
• Active learning, i.e. when trying to find out the origin and the history of the street names, they will have to do research into historic events.
• Significant learning, when doing research about well-known local people, jotting down anecdotes, stories and recipes, taking and scanning digital pictures and processing all the information with computer software.
• Interdisciplinary work through the different links on the "NON-OFFICIAL GUIDE OF THE TOWN" home page (street names, nature trails, recipes, festivals, traditions...).

These activities will also relate to the contents of the different subjects in the curriculum and will always concentrate on the Key Competences: Communication in the mother language, Communication in foreign languages (English), basic skills in science and technology, Digital competence, Learning to learn and Interpersonal skills, Inter-cultural, social and civic competences along with cultural expression.
