Restarting adult learning skills through new teaching methods. The topic of the project is trending today and will be of great importance tomorrow as we are all living in the world where IT plays important role in every level study process/activity; the same is with teacher interaction with students and methods used for teaching. Educators should know latest trends in ICT usage and know how to use/adopt them effectively daily, taking into account that technologies and teaching methods are developing rapidly. Students as target group who has to use ICT tools for study purposes have to understand and be able to learn through new approach, they have to adapt. Both students and teachers have to get explanation and proper training before they start to use new tools and methods. The learning process and subject delivery at schools are of a high standard, from the very first days of school onward, unleashes the abilities and skills, and prepares the young generation to be competitive in the labour market in the future. The big European issue that unites all the project partners is the question about the provision of education and training, especially for adults with no secondary education, different social backgrounds, young parents, people working full time, living abroad, etc., but most of them have no previous experience in self-education or have had negative prior experience in education, system, methods, etc. The problem with distance learning in schools is that not only students but also teachers need to be encouraged to learn new technologies and new learning habits. Trends show that the learning process is increasingly transformed into a virtual environment, but this does not mean that the on-the-spot effects at school will disappear. We are convinced by hearing that students want to combine face-to-face study and counselling where they can ask about the unknown and work in a virtual environment.The key issue of the project was not only to promote learning by improving the quality and efficiency of education services, but also to make education methods more attractive. Thus project has developed methodological material through the project partners joint research, experience and learning activities. The elaborated Material is available for free usage to everybody who is interested in the topic and find it valuable in 4 languages - English, Latvian, Estonian and Italian.Target group who already use methods are adult learners at project partner organisations and educators/teachers, leading to more than thousand learners.The goal of the project was to build a strong European network of three educational institutions with ICT expertise, enabling adults to learn at school, to study, develop and exchange methodological materials for distance learning, to structure the work of teachers using the various privileges offered by information technologies in order to promote work system with adult learners and learn new methods for individualized approach to each learner. The goal has been reached and there are further plans to be announced within the same project partners as key organisations and inviting extra participants, who are able to contribute with their experience and share the knowledge in ICT for joint achievements.The idea of partnership was to find joint solutions that add value to all project partners and lead to joint positive results, as the project participants are teachers, who attended structured course about integrating ICT in teaching and education. The project was serving as a good start to offer qualitative, better and varied education to its residents. Project has clearly defined roles of each and every partner in terms of cooperation, project management, dissemination, impact and sustainability.There are several benefits of the project to the educators, adult learners, schools - a close friendship and exchange of experience in adult education among three European countries - Latvia, Estonia and Italy - have been established; methodological material for better use of distance learning environment using various IT tools has been developed during the project; physical Moodle environment for distance learning has been improved; educators have been trained to work with the new distance learning Moodle environment and its capabilities; new cooperation contacts have been established to develop and improve adult learning methods; the issue of promoting the opportunities offered by the school in the e-environment has been raised.

<< Objectives >>Objectives of the project are to develop and test innovative teaching materials according to learners perceptions (audio, visual materials and kinesthetics), perceptual features and learning styles, guiding students to self-study, as well as to promote teachers professional development and experience exchange, thus strengthening the teaching profession in latest IT tools and reducing the risk of learners early school leaving.<< Implementation >>It is planned to implement following activities:-1 online event webinar/Kick-off meeting-to get to know each other and to start the work in the project.-4 short-term joint staff training events (C1-C4) to share experiences, acquire new knowledge and skills and strengthen the teaching profession, also IT skills, develop new teaching materials based on acquired knowledge on perception types-1 joint dissemination event - project closing activity (final conference) to present the achieved results<< Results >>Most important expected results: -exchange of experience and transfer of good practice in distance learning, acquisition of new knowledge on learning techniques, including latest IT tools and on development of teaching materials for distance learning.-developed new teaching materials, based on acquired knowledge about perceptions and learning styles.-improved opportunities for learners to self-directed learning, reducing the number of learners who terminate the learning process.

SummaryWe’ve come to the end of our project that we have carried out successfully for 2 years.We found out that in most schools,the academic programme is generally designed to expose students to wide range of knowledge and ideas.Teachers are expert in their disciplines and teaching is each school’s highest priority.Most of the parents are not ‘very’ involved in their child’s schooling and many are involved for discipline and not instructional purposes.As for students tend to give up their education, they have some reasons such academic,socia-cultural and personal reasons.Overall, giving education is no easy task but it is ceartainly a challenge and a valuable learning experience.Therefore,we started this project with the belief that the children are our future and we should let them find their way and choose what they want to do with their lives rather than teach them everyhing well.We also thougt everyone must keep in mind every child had a unique nature, intelligence and talent and they must be allowed to explore their abilities,interests and educate accordingly..As a result, we made a big effort to change the perception of education and gave the students outstanding facilities with different clubs and extracurricullar activities that motivated students to learn. To be more spesific we organized many different activities: sports activities (organizing chess, table tennis, volleyball and football tournaments), socio-cultural activities (career days, college trips, poetry, debate, essay contests, making up picture- music corners in school etc).In this way,the students found many alternatives to meet their interests and express themselves well. The school became the centre of activity and interraction with each other. Thus, they had the feeling of being part of a team is fun. We also acknowledged the importance of sophisticated technology for learning and enabled students to have access to modern facilities and the world of resources they offer.Moreover, we put emphasis on change of teachers' attitude to education, on more positive attitude to students, so it motivated the students to learn and motivated the teachers to teach and counsel. All these actions were designed to illustrate the students how much good education and learning is important. Our participants were students, teachers and other staffs from all partner schools from Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey and Croatia. The students were chosen among students who were motivated to work in accordance with project objectives, extroverted and interested in the project.We had one Transnational Meeting with the participation of only teachers and 4 mobilities for Learning/Teaching/Training acitivities with the participation of teachers/adminitrators and students.We had also Multiplier Event as a seminar by a lecturer and it took place in third Learning/Teaching/Training Activity in Turkey.We had an Intellectual Output, e-booklet, which contains a short presentation of each partner: school, city, country, the template of two questionnaires and the results for each school, with problematic areas for each school and information about types of intelligence, and activities which develop the kinds of intelligence according to the Application Form.
