Involving marginalised adults in education and training can be a thankless task for educators equipped only with the basic tools and pedagogical approaches.
What is needed to attract reluctant learners back into education and training is a new, comprehensive approach that ignores the traditional institution-based offering focused on disciplines and instead seeks a more open and expansive offering based on embedded learning techniques and open-house community learning festivals.
Rewarding even the smallest learning outcomes is essential to encourage those who recommit themselves to continuing their education.
The ELEVATION project aims to develop a new comprehensive and personalised learning framework to attract back into education and training those furthest from the mainstream.
