EU is still facing lots of difficulties that put at risk the “inclusive growth” which the Europe 2020 strategy is aiming for. Even if in 2018 unemployment has returned to its pre-crisis level, it remains high in some Member States. In the euro area, the unemployment rate is 8.1% in Q2-2018. The EU area has recorded improvements in the state of employment in general and in all critical categories (people at risk of poverty or social exclusion, young and old workers, women, migrants and disadvantaged people).The 25-49 age group, despite having in general the highest employment rate, has some critical issues, first of all long-term unemployment, that represents 35% of the total unemployed (Eurostat 2020 data) and affects in particular among the most disadvantaged categories, such as low-skilled workers, migrants, women, people with disabilities. These human resources require special attention in order not to be excluded from the labor market. As reported in Joint Employment Report 2019, Italy scores “critical” on the long-term unemployment rate and Spain “weak but improving”.Last but not least, the consequences of COVID-19 pandemic on society and the EU labor market will probably lead to a sharp decrease in employability data, affecting the most disadvantaged groups of the population. According to the International Labor Organization (ILO), the economic and labor crisis caused by COVID-19 could increase unemployment in the world by almost 25 million, and unfortunately also in Europe the effects of this crisis will be heavy. For example, in Spain in just over two weeks, since the consequences of the crisis began to be felt in the economy, around 900,000 people had already lost their jobs (data from National Social Security).This situation determined the partner organizations to involve in this exchange of practice, directly and indirectly 100 adult learners (adult people between 35 and 50 years old in situation of disadvantage) and the staff of the organizations involved in the project and those working in adult education and career guidance. The project aims to develop key competences in adult population and to strengthen the network of actors in the field of adult education, training and career guidance in the participating territories, in order to favour the social and professional fulfilment and inclusion of disadvantaged adults. The specific objectives are: SO1. Raising the quality of adult learning, directly involving at least 36 participants (disadvantaged adults between 35 and 50 years old) in international learning experiences to strengthen their skills and Key Competences in a creative, innovative, non-formal learning environment.SO2. To promote the inclusion of people at risk of social exclusion, fostering their self-esteem and autonomy, strengthening the attitude to lifelong learning and social development of 36 adults through experiences exchange with those coming from different contexts.SO3. To develop key competences of the staff of the partner organisation, sharing methodologies, tools and good practices for adult social and professional inclusion.SO4. To develop a more integrated information system in lifelong learning, guidance, training and job opportunities offered to adult population and increase the knowledge of EU Programmes for adults.SO5. To stimulate an open mind, intercultural exchange and intergenerational dialogue in at least 100 adults, fostering the development of their social skills and active participation to society.The main activities will include preparation activities, diagnosis and analysis of situation, identification and collection of good practices in the field of adult education and career guidance for adults over 35, mentoring activities, 3 transnational project meetings, 2 short-term joint staff training events in UK and Czech Republic, 2 blended mobilities of adult learners of 10 days in Spain and Italy, visibility events in each partner country, evaluation and dissemination activities. The main project outputs will be:• Project multilingual website (according to the languages of the institutions involved in the project) for sharing good practices and project's results.• Booklet with diagnosis and analysis of situation, identification and collection of good practices in the field of adult education and career guidance for adults over 35, uploaded in the project website. • Business plan/professional paths for adult learners over 35. • Video Vademecum for active participation and active job search for adults over 35.The project will have an impact at local, regional and European level, raising awareness of the importance of lifelong learning and career guidance, developing competences of adult learners and of the staff of the partner organisations, promoting social and professional inclusion of disadvantaged adults.
