Le projet a pour objectif de créer un produit multimédia interactif modulaire, permettant d'améliorer la capacité d'apprentissage des langues dans le domaine scientifique et technologique, pour un public d'élèves du niveau secondaire.

Le produit sera réalisé en: italien, anglais et français, et également pourra être adapté sur Internet.

A terme, ce produit devrait permettre, grâce à l'amélioration de la capacité de communication des élèves, une plus grande mobilité dans les études ainsi que la pratique de stages en entreprise à l'échelle européenne.

This project, which has been planed for three years, wants to raise awareness of the topic of active citizenship and the European citizenship. These subjects are not particularly well known in marginal social-economic situations and are even less so part of women's attitude, so they are always marginal protagonists of political and administrative life.

The aims of the project are:
- to increase knowledge of the function of local, national and European institutions;
- to raise awareness of female citizens to the concept of ''European membership'';
- to increase active participation in local political life;
- to stimulate the participation in non conventional formative activities on the topics of active citizenship and on the concept of European citizenship.

During the implementation of the project, several products will be produced:
- A report of researching the women's situation regarding participation in political/decisional life and their ''sense of membership'';
- Web site ;
- Didactic modules and didactic materials ;
- Training courses ;
- Instruments for self-learning (brochure and FAD multimedia course) ;
- Manual of good practice.

This 2-year project addresses key questions for adult education in Europe: the development of self-confidence and self-determination in educational pathways for adult learners from socially disadvantaged groups as well as for those who, due to their local situation, have difficulty in gaining access to adult education programmes, and the development of new teaching methodologies (including ODL) to enhance these groups' involvement in broadcasting, new technologies, and adult education provision. To gain a more long lasting impact, the focus is on training trainers. Thus, the adult learners from disadvantaged groups are both 'trainees' and, through the incorporation of their feedback, 'evaluators' of the teaching and learning.

12 partners (community radio stations, media education/training centres, universities) in 7 countries with expertise in media education, broadcasting, use of new technologies and the Internet, international co-operation and action research based evaluation will develop suitable models/courses for adult education trainers, hosting and piloting workshops with various target groups. Using community radio and new technology as well as innovative teaching/learning methods, the models/courses will be developed in the first instance in one place and country. Outcomes will be course outlines to be made available to other stations/centres with similar interests.

The methods will then be adapted and reapplied by other partners/in other countries, in order to develop modules and sessions that could be exchanged all across Europe.

The project will be monitored and evaluated right from the start. The results will be made accessible as handbooks, CD-Roms and on an Internet database to contribute to the information, guidance and research services for adult education providers and users in various European countries.

European Intercultural Competence Programme (EICP) is a transnational initiative, whose main objective is to promote civil dialogue, understanding, tolerance and shared values through a learning interface that brings people together form all sectors of life.

Target groups are representatives of minority ethnic groups, voluntary and community organisations, local authorities, the police, employment/welfare services and religious groups.

Moreover, it will undertake capacity building measures for minority groups and local providers so that they could develop appropriate policies, structure and system that would fit the demands of our diverse communities.

It is expected that 380 people will directly benefit from the programme and over 68 agencies and groups will be involved in the process throughout the partnership.

Furthermore, it is believed that a huge number of people will have access to materials and documents through the programmes, websites and from other sources of publicity.

The project also intends to mainstream the training process through dialogue and negotiations with policy makers at national and regional levels.
