We are living in a highly digitalized, interconnected society, where the immediacy of human interaction make us feel very close to each other. However reflective activity is seldom practiced.We understand that communication, in the wider meaning of the word, is an inherently essential need for humanity. This is what drives us to embark on a reflective exercise on some frequently ignored forms of communication: unconventional languages.First of all, and based on a preliminary needs analysis, we determined what issues are relevant to our project and what are the priorities to be address: social inclusion, learning for life, civic engagement, deprived communities, etc. Given these considerations, our concern about communities in danger of social exclusion, this will be a social project.Our objectives set the pattern of actions and approaches to complete our project: research, student’s direct involvement, and dissemination of results and activities undertaken.We expect to achieve both tangible and intangible results:•Tangible: consolidated report, documents, blog entries, multimedia files, etc.•Intangible: enhancing our awareness and or further knowledge of different cultures,Greater feeling of belonging to an European common culture, opening new horizons, etcIn order to meet these objectives and achieve the desired outcomes, great care will be need in ensuring the of tasks required for the completion of the project are fairly shared among the partner organisations. These activities will be adaptative to the changing circumstances and determined at different intervals as the project unfolds.These will include specific activities for each institution, virtual meeting, transnational coordination meetings, and mobility activities with students. These will be carried out in each of the partner organisations, and designed by the host institution:•Turin: Sign language, braille and malossi•Prague: Computing and digital language•Navalcarnero: Visual language•Pireo: Emotions and art language•London: Sound and musicA risk assessment was performed to determine and minimise possible drawbacks.This included criteria for the selection of the partner organisations, share of responsibilities, budget and the decision to select a Eramus+ KA204 – Strategic Partnership/exchange of good practice in Adult Learning project.We will work towards the creation of a collaborative atmosphere among our team, developing team building activities.Our assessment will focus on 4 aspects: specific activities at each organisation, transnational meeting, mobility activities and final global assessment.Thorough work on the design and assessment of each activity will help us achieve the desired impact, which we expect to be in 5 layers: participants, organizations, students, locally and regionally, national and global.We will identify items that provide a quantitave assessment (web interactions, blogs or social media, number of participating students, materials created, feedback questionaires, etc) and qualitative (media exposure, impact, external links, etc).In order to ensure sustainability, all our activities will be widely shared via the Erasmus+ Difusion Plan.We expect a smooth development of our project, carrying out successfully our planned activities, achieving our set objectives and disseminating our outcomes with the wider European community.Finally, provided we can complete the project according to plan, many of the materials and activities shared will remain for further use and/or further development, thus meeting the sustainability requirement, integral in all major European projects.
