"The ""Communication Inclision"" (COM-IN) project will be implemented by 5 organizations from Poland, France, Spain, Slovenia and Slovakia. The aim of this project is to prepare tools for educators and creators of educational programs from countries of the project participants who are able to deal with the activation and education of people over 60 in an attractive and effective way. The basis of COM-IN is diagnosis that the most important reason for excluding older people is insufficient communication skills understood very broadly. It is not just about individual assertiveness or communication with peers and the younger generation. This category also includes difficulties in understanding media and official communications and documents, lack of ability to reach the information needed and assess its credibility, lack of digital skills (Internet, e-mail, instant messaging, online shopping, booking ticket or a visit to a doctor, digital banking, electronic office, etc.). Communication skills also include: ability to use foreign languages ​​and formulate messages tailored to the needs of modern recipient, as well as ability to present their opinions in a public forum. Communication exclusion drastically limits the social and civic activity of seniors.The COM-IN project is a continuation and development of ""Silver Civic Education"" project implemented in 2017-19 under the Erasmus + KA204 program with partners from Portugal and Bulgaria. It was based on educational model used by the SSP in working with seniors. During implementation of this project, some disadvantages of our model were revealed that may significantly impede its dissemination. The main disadvantage is excessive focus on journalistic creativity and creating a medium. The disadvantage is, among others too much focus on creating the medium and creativity of journalism. Such an ""ambitious"" approach also excluded people with lower education and qualifications from education, as well as those who do not use written language efficiently (eg immigrants). Meanwhile, journalism is a great communication education tool and a means of making workshops more attractive. However, it is not an end in itself. The essence of our method is to build a team, to find a place for everyone and - in an attractive form - enable them to acquire knowledge and skills. Meetings of the editorial team should be used to conduct workshops to improve participants' skills. Medium (website or profile on FB) plays an auxiliary role. In addition, a strong media orientation requires educators to have great journalistic skills and experience, which greatly limits the number of potential trainers.The main goal of COM-IN is to improve our educational model so that it becomes more universal and available in different countries and environments. The result of this cooperation will be development of educational materials suitable for practical use in various countries and languages. Project partners will implement innovative methods that increase the attractiveness and efficiency of their educational offer. The project also contains intellectual work result - a guidebook ""Journalism for seniors. An educator's manual"" containing recommendations, methods and training tools useful in working with seniors as well as other adult age groups."

Institutions of adult education from Poland, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Turkey and Spain have established a partnership to develop a training program with a manual for trainers and a mobile application for various social groups in the field of home finances management which means home budget. Trainings, exercises and methods will be prepared by specialists from partner organizations in such a form that in an accessible form, raise the knowledge of adults as well as efficiently and properly manage the home budget. The training program will include elements of mathematics, sociology, economics, marketing as well as psychology. The training program will also concern healthy lifestyle, healthy eating and avoiding dangerous loans. Trainers will gain knowledge thanks to the exchange of experiences and the handbook on how to work with various groups, eg emigrants, socially excluded, disabled and adult pupils of educational and upbringing facilities to become independent. Thanks to the project, the participating organizations will expand their educational offer and the competences of their employees will increase. The main products of the project will be made available to other organizations and trainers, a textbook and a mobile application. Especially the mobile application with the training material will affect the universality of teaching about home finances and dissemination among educators.

The project aims to improve the quality of adult education provision in career guidance and soft-skills. Therefore, in the framework of the project, online tests, online learning materials and videos and a website will create the intellectual outputs. To implement the project, 5 project meetings will be organized to ensure the project management, the distribution of the roles and control of the project implementation. As part of the project, two learning activities and one multiplier event will be organized.

Unemployment, especially youth unemployment, is one of the major challenges of contemporary Europe in a constantly changing Labor market: statistical data show that in Europe as many as seventy million people do not have adequate basic and transversal skills. The 8 Key Competences, which Europe conceives as a basis for lifelong learning, define a set of knowledge, skills and attitudes that individuals need for personal fulfilment and development, active citizenship, social inclusion and employment. Among these, the spirit of entrepreneurship (understood as an entrepreneurial mind-set) plays a fundamental role in the greater employability of young people and adults, but at the same time communication in foreign languages, digital competence, learning to learn, social competence and civic, or mobility education, represent another fundamental requirement in the scenario of the European Labor market.Young Europeans, especially those at risk of marginalization, in conditions of social or economic disadvantage, often perceive themselves as without the power of personal development and suffer from a low level of self-esteem in managing their training, life situations and work. These premises, common to all the organizations involved in the proposal, have created the need to learn and adopt innovative practices for entrepreneurship education, improving the training offer aimed at young people between 18 and 29 years old. The project promotes the exchange of good practices between teachers and trainers in the sense of creating new approaches to the training path that help improve youngsters' skills and stimulate their motivation to learn. We therefore intend to offer this target the opportunity to enhance basic, personal, social and organizational skills.Ent4Neet intends to implement an exchange of good practices between youth organizations in order to implement a pilot course accompanied by a manual (so-called Handbook) addressed to youth workers who at various levels are involved in the education of young people. The intent is to stimulate entrepreneurship and communication skills, integration and active citizenship of young people, especially Neet, including those in conditions of economic / social / cultural disadvantage, by proposing a model that can be replicated and transferred to various sectoral and geographical realities.First of all, a research carried out among companies and employers at local and transnational level will highlight the soft skills most sought after by the Labor Market. The resulting final report will be the premise for the exchange of good practices and the course for teachers and trainers who will be the subject of the Handbook, OER of the project. A short-term staff training event is planned for 20 youth workers from the 4 countries of origin of the partners. Subsequently, thanks to the skills acquired, pilot courses will be carried out at local level (for at least 50 young people between 18 and 29 years old). 20 of these young people will also have the opportunity to participate in a transnational mobility (blended mobility of young people) which will seek to deepen the skills and knowledge acquired in the pilot courses.The project approach is cooperative and is based on non-formal training and techniques such as active and participatory learning, learning by doing and peer-to-peer training.The exchange of good practices, the identification and involvement of target groups, the Handbook containing the soft skills report sought by the World of Work and innovative ways of entrepreneurship education will be the main results of Ent4Neet.The impact of the project will also be visible thanks to the statistical surveys on the sample of beneficiaries even after the end of the project. The project will continue to produce results beyond its end. Its sustainability is intrinsic since it is a project intended to enhance key competences and training standards regarding the training modules and teaching methodologies related to teaching and learning processes in the Youth sector.The project web portal will continue to exist after the end of the project and therefore access to all products made will continue to be guaranteed. Besides, all subjects involved in the project partnership are training institutions and youth organizations with experience in supporting young people for the development of skills related to entrepreneurship. Therefore, each of them will insert the training module created among their own training tools of the youth workers, teachers, trainers and educators.
