Description

Skill IT is a transnational European adult education innovative strategic partnership which aims to develop, design and implement inclusiveness strategies for enhancing basic skills.
Skill IT objectives:
a) address the issues of low levels of digital literacy and competency amongst adults who are disadvantaged and at risk of exclusion;
b) address stagnating participation in adult learning in EU countries through inclusive strategies;
c) strengthen the partnership between local and regional organisations in partner countries working with the target groups of adult learners;
d) increase digital competence and literacy amongst the hardest to reach groups in 7 partner countries using an innovative transnational approach involving local and regional adult education organisations, teachers, trainers and the adult learners themselves;
e) improve and extend access to learning opportunities in accordance with Europe 2020, ET 2020 and Erasmus+ goals.
Skill IT's transnationality allows adult learners from different target groups and staff from partner countries to cooperate innovatively in order to design and develop an innovative ICT Education Model which will be tested within the 7 partner countries: Northern Ireland; Turkey; Czech Republic; Italy; Greece; Spain; Croatia.
They target adults with low level or no qualifications, those in low skilled occupations, the unemployed, migrants and economically inactive, older people.

Context: The Skill It project enhanced the digital skills of adults who do not traditionally engage in ICT Training through lack of skills, fear or ability and are at risk of exclusion. Skill IT created new inclusive opportunities for increased participation in lifelong learning activities. Skill IT reconnected groups at the risk of exclusion to learning, to the labour market, to public services encouraging them to become more active citizens within their countries.
