Priorities in 2010

The priorities for the Nordplus Adult programme in 2010 are:

• Adults' basic skills (i. e. reading, writing, maths and IT skills), language skills amongst immigrants and other minority groups in the Nordic and Baltic languages (i.e. native language of their country of residence), as well as second language learning of the local population (such as for example English as a foreign language).
• The recognition and validation of skills with particular focus on the development of tools and methods for documenting skills acquired in informal and non-formal learning activities.
• Challenges of modern citizenship with a special focus on environmental awareness and climate issues, but also for example on entrepreneurship and other relevant topics.
• Strengthening of social cohesion in education by improving access and availability of adult education to all potential adult learners with a special focus on rural areas and second chance teaching.
• Interplay between companies and institutions concerning adult education and training.

Furthermore, applications focusing on the motivation of vulnerable groups are given priority, as are new applicants and partnerships, applications covering new issues, problems, methods and solution models. Projects that are cross-sectoral within the sector of adult learning and/or cross-organisational will also be prioritised.
