In order to achieve the project objectives and deliver the planned quantitative and qualitative results, it is planned to organize: 3 partner meetings, 2 training events during the creation of guidelines for creating educational exhibitions, two testings of guidelines with associated partners, programme of international educational artistic photography exhibitions testing/presentation in partner countries (overall 5), 2 products dissemination events, 6 project dissemination events, also constant contact among project coordinator, partners, and associated partners via ZOOM software, emails, phone, using Google Docs. Project quantitative and qualitative results will be assessed by target groups filling special surveys after each dedicated activity. The project coordinator together with the team will analyze survey answers, discuss with partners and make conclusions. According to research findings, during the fulfillment of the project, the products and activities of the products will be improved.A special communication campaign will be created by all participating organizations. This campaign will be implemented by each participating organization. The special project logo and style of communication will be created. It is planned to make a short visual presentation about the project (in all partners' languages and English). As well as a special contest for the public will be organized in each country. This contest will help to promote the project and attract more participants to the project activities and consumptions of outputs which will be done after completion of the project. As well as all partners will represent this project on regional, national and transnational levels by participating in various events, training events, and conferences. Project implementation and management grant will be used to organize two result testing events in Lithuania and Spain with associated partners-participants from non-formal adult learning institutions; and five result testings in all partner countries. During these events the project will be presented, results tested, different kinds of activities, workshops, and internal training will be done.<< Results >>The project will have two production results: 1. Guidelines for Creating Educational Exhibitions will be created. The Guidelines will be used for community involvement, encourage cognition and creativity, and improve skills and competencies. Organizations that participate in the project (library, museums, NGOs) work are related with different cultural and art and other exhibitions‘ preparation and their presentation for the community. By using these guidelines, andragogues and specialists working in the adult education field will receive useful information about special innovative and engaging activities for adults. These guidelines will gain new competencies for adult education specialists using creativity, will help to adapt to current challenges and risks, allowing them to work properly with the target groups. The Guidelines material will be presented in 2 parts: the first part will be a theoretical material about the presentation of demand for cultural and art products in a creative, innovative, and interactive way. The second part presents the best practices of participating organizations, related to educational and interactive presentations of art exhibitions). It will help to be involved and engaged and to use innovative methods of andragogues teaching. 2. Programme of Educational Art Photography Exhibition.

"The COVID-19 pandemic is a health tragedy, but also a human, economic and social tragedy that deepens the inequalities already at work in our societies and makes it difficult for thousands of European citizens to have regular access to employment and education. In this context, women who were already suffering from structural inequalities affecting all areas of their lives are at increased risk of being relegated to the margins of society, to extreme poverty and swept away by a vicious circle of downgrading from which they may take years to emerge. This is why ensuring their access to education so that they can continue to learn throughout their lives and particularly at this moment of rare intensity is absolutely key both to ensuring their dignity and empowerment, but also to supporting resilient, fair and sustainable growth in the European Union.Our ""Bookpower"" project (BPO) is part of this dynamic of training women to help them create, maintain and strengthen their empowerment through the combined power of culture and creativity. Drawing on the expertise of six European structures active in the sectors of culture and non-formal adult education, it consists of producing and making available to around a hundred vulnerable women in four European countries - France, Italy, Spain and Belgium - an innovative training programme based on books, bibliotherapy and cognitive sciences. In these countries, we target women between 18 and 65 years old in their local contexts:In Paris, women who are victims of violence (domestic violence has increased by about 30% during the crisis in France) and who wish to rebuild their lives through entrepreneurship thanks to the partner structure, Led By Her. In Madrid, low-income women from the popular Carabanchel neighbourhood via Espacio Rojo. In O Courel in Galicia, rural women, sometimes far from digital practices thanks to the intervention of the Uxío Novoneyra Foundation. In Palermo, in a multicultural city, migrant women and/or women in economic difficulties, unemployed or single mothers with low incomes through the field knowledge of e-arch. With this project we want to respond to the needs of vulnerable women in terms of - inclusion by connecting them to each other in order to create social bonds of mutual support, solidarity and shared values.- employability through access to a training path that develops their skills, helps them find a job or become entrepreneurs,- personal development and fulfilment through empowering pedagogical tools to overcome their limitations, become aware of their potential, engage, innovate and take action through the power of culture and creativity.Alongside the women involved, we train and hire around fifteen trainers and socio-educational facilitators in bibliotherapy, a new method of non-formal education, originating from the book sector and based on innovative neurocognitive approaches. Beyond the quality of the transmission, the link we are establishing with the trainers will allow us :- to enrich their methodological palette with approaches based on current disciplines, in full development, such as the cognitive sciences - to test innovative educational tools for vulnerable groups- to recharge their batteries, get inspired and work together to motivate each other, share good practices and contribute to the pioneer dimension of their sector - strengthen their skills in digital technologies and tools All this in a fast and connected age that invites us to remain curious and open-minded about pedagogy and methods of skills development. Training the trainers to train vulnerable women for empowerment is at the heart of our project from which we expect a behavioural impact, namely the stimulation of women's empowerment, their taking initiative in professional matters, the strengthening of their self-confidence, the development of their civic commitment and the fulfilment generated by regular access to the sources of beauty and inspiration that abound in the world of books.At the end of our project, via a new digital platform bringing together services, content and a learning path, these women and educators will have grown up together, adopted the method and will act as relays to disseminate it and make it last throughout Europe. In order to support this dynamic, the project will give rise to a dissemination kit, an empirical research article and the prospect of creating a network of various stakeholders dedicated to bibliotherapy within the framework of a discipline still to be structured and explored: educational cognitive sciences."
