Adults Learning for Intergenerational Creative Experiences

National Awareness Sessions

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 PoliciesDeveloping 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

ALICE Project’s OutlineIL can be a twofold purpose

process, that improve dialogue among generations through civic participation in common social and institutional spaces,

while at the same time enacts processes of informal learning towards the achievement, both by adults and children, of key competences for lifelong learningAdults Learning for Intergenerational Creative


AimsTo help adults, senior citizen and volunteers to

reflect and acquire competences necessary to become effective educators, and the impact their actions can have on future learning of children.

To provide adults, senior citizen and volunteers with creative languages to generate “zones of proximal development” for intergenerational learning;

To train adult's trainers to adopt ALICE methodological approach, becoming aware of the role that adult's as educator can have on social cohesion, and hence, re-considering the value of adult's training institutions.Adults Learning for Intergenerational Creative


Objectives (1)To improve knowledge on cultural

diversity and values of European patrimony, as the base of creative languages, with impact on adult's acquisition of Key competence (KC) 8 “cultural awareness and expression” .

To favour sharing of creative experiences among generations, as spaces of reflection, awareness and learning on otherness towards commitment and solidarity, with impact on adult's acquisition of “social and citizenship KC6”



Objectives (2)To develop knowledge and skills for using art as

creative language to dialogue with children with impact on adult's the acquisition of KC 5 (learning to learn), KC7 (sense of initiative and entrepreneurship) e KC8

To develop knowledge and skills for using storytelling as creative language to dialogue with children with impact on adult's the acquisition of KC 5 (learning to learn), KC7 e KC8

To develop knowledge and skills for using games and social media as creative language to dialogue with children with impact on adult's the acquisition of KC 4 (digital competence) and KC5



Objectives (3)To empower alliances among local government,

school, elder people centers, cultural associations, private sector, University, as spaces of implementation of creative experiences for intergenerational learning

To improve the perspective of interdependence between adult as educator and adult as lifelong learner, improving the participation of adults to lifelong learning.

To contrast processes of exclusion and marginalization of adults-children at risk because of the low competences of the former in caring/educating the latter.



ALICE’s toolkitEuropean 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.



ALICE’s Phases of Development1. Train adults' trainers to understand and implement

ALICE’s approach. 2. Trainers will implement ALICE’s approach through an

informal education environment. Different adults could be engaged: partners, senior citizen, teachers, volunteers.

3. Testing phase where adults will use creative languages with children. The phase is accomplished with participatory evaluation (as adults and trainers reflection process) on impact on intergenerational dialogue.

The project will also implement a strategy of communication to raise awareness among international scientific community, as well as local policy makers and adults’ education providers on ALICE’s strategy and impact, for further adoption of the model



Creating the Space for Educational Innovation in Adults’ EducationAdults’ trainers must be able of understanding the

value of informal learning situations, developing skills to promote events with strategic impact on key competences.

It is not enough to promote cultural events: trainers, as scaffolders of generational dialogue are called to be aware of the educational impacts of their informal activities as a way to engage adults that are normally far from formal (University, Further training) and/or non-formal (training on the job) in lifelong learning trajectories Adults Learning for Intergenerational Creative
