Tallinn was the European Capital of Culture in the year 2011. During the years of the preparation which started in 2004 till the year 2011 the Foundation’s one important role was to map the situation of the creative and cultural field and situation (city versus Europe versus world). We were able to realize which were the strengths, weaknesses and needs of different cultural organizations, event promoters and the audience in Tallinn and in Estonia and Europe more general. One of key activities that got much attention from European Capital of Culture Tallinn 2011 were various informal education programs. For example Tallinn 2011 volunteer network where over 1500 citizens of Tallinn got besides the real-life experience of being part of organizing a cultural event also an introductive training on volunteer work, communicating skills and team work. Due to these various programs organised throughout the year 2011 the foundation Tallinn 2011 has become an expert in the field of activating and motivating citizens and organisations through culture. This has been and still is an important form of expanding knowledge without barriers, which on the other hand supports life learning education through new ways and models of a non-formal education. Apart from focuses on informal education, the foundation was engaged also in creative and cultural industry paradigm. One of the biggest projects for the foundation was opening up creative hub named Kultuurikatel (in English Tallinn Creative Hub) near the seaside of Tallinn, reconstructing an old industrial building into multifunctional creative space with primary activity in developing the creative and cultural industry of Tallinn when the year 2011 is over. This creative hub is now the main follow up project for the foundation Tallinn 2011 which takes all the knowledge, experience and gained networks of European Capital of Culture year and evolves it to a new platform of cultural production, creative industry clusters, informal education, ICT projects and alternative tourism. Kultuurikatel Kultuurikatel is a creative combination of a creative hub and a platform for networks and knowledge. The physical point of Kultuurikatel is near the seaside which is a strategic location between the port of Tallinn and medieval old town. Kultuurikatel and new media (ITC) Kultuurikatel is starting activities around new media opening up a so-called New Media Centre which purpose is to promote through events and educational programmes the new multi-layered media field to children, young adults and professionals Kultuurikatel and informal education Kultuurikatel Centre contributes to lifelong learning, providing an alternative learning environment based on the keywords such as community, process-oriented education, sustainability, and international collaboration. This raises the awareness of options of self-improvement, diversifying world view which encourages thinking about the broader social processes. Education Centre is a bridge between the various occupants and public coordinating programs for the audience, so that they complement each other. Education Centre aims to build long term partnerships to improve cooperation between individuals with Estonian and foreign public, private and voluntary sectors. Focus in non-formal education: A: Supporting the development of information and communications technology-based innovative content, services, educational methods and activities that can be adapted to lifelong learning B: Positively influencing the possibilities for using lifelong learning among people of all ages regardless of socioeconomic background. Kultuurikatel role in the project is to participate to the research phase, to the train the trainers, to the piloting and to all transversal activities such as dissemination and Exploitation.

PART D. Project characteristics

D.1 Why does the consortium wish to undertake this project? Rationale of and background to the project Please outline the motivation behind your project, clearly identifying the specific needs or problems/challenges which it intends to solve. Explain why these needs/problems were selected over others, and how the project proposal fits within the development strategies of the partners involved. Please include references to any declared regional, national, EU or international political priority in this area. Also, please describe briefly how your project proposal was prepared (e.g., capitalising on previous experiences, based on achieved outcomes in former projects, following previous cooperation amongst the consortium members, etc.) (limit 6000 characters). The project KVALUES stems from a background research analysis on validation of informal and non-formal learning and prior learning at European level and in the countries involved in the partnership and beyond (The Netherlands). Two EU Resolutions of the Education Council (May 2004, 2008) have highlighted the need for strong guidance services throughout the lifespan to equip people with the skills to manage their learning and careers, the transitions between and within education/training and work their perusal fulfilment. Currently the transformation of the labour market , the employment instability and constantly changing, makes it mandatory for individuals to demonstrate acquired skills and their "capitalization". The value of the individual must interact with the role of business and society at large. Therefore it is important to integrate the two systems, a validation model that builds on individual skills. A recent Commission study, “Changing patterns of working, learning and career development across Europe (2010)”, emphasized the richness and diversity of the workplace as a learning environment, the aim is to foster adults to turn individual’s life and work environments into learning environments. The “Action Plan on Adult Learning: Achievements and results” 2008-2010, stated that assessment and recognition of skills and social competences, regardless of where and how they are achieved, are especially important for those who do not have basic qualifications, in order to facilitate their integration in society. The validation of informal and non-formal learning is of increasing importance across Europe, as an important element of national policies on education, training and employment (European Guidelines for the validation of IF and NF learning, Cedefop, 2009). The latter publication stresses the importance of the third sector as a trigger in this process. However some of the questions arouse: • what knowledge, skills and competences does it make sense to measure through validation in the adult education sector; • how can validation strengthen the adult and third sectors. Even though the importance of the adult sector for enabling the learning and validation of knowledge, skills and competences cannot be exaggerated, the identification and validation of non-formal and informal adult learning can address the problem of invisibility and help adults become more conscious of their broader personal knowledge, creativity, sense of entrepreneurship, cultural awareness skills and competences. Looking into the partners’ countries experiences we can see that there are different levels of applying these guidelines. Italy is working for an integrated implementation of the European strategy for lifelong learning. In 2005 it has been created a Citizens’ Training Booklet by the Inter-Ministry Decree (Ministry of Labour and Ministry of Education) as a concrete response to the strategic need to ensure that everyone can enhance and ensure a standard interpretation of their experience and competencies however acquired, as key elements of a new right to active citizenship and employability. This past experience will be taken into account and develop in the KVALUES project. Estonian policy on lifelong learning aims at increasing cohesion and coordination between domains and to guarantee the fulfillment of the objectives based on the needs of the area of government and expectations of society, “Smart and Active People 2010–2013” . In general hobbies are taken into account in the students curricula, no mention there is for adult education “Preparation of the 2010 Joint Report on the implementation of the Key competences: Validating Adult Learners’ edUcational ExperienceS/KVALUES Page 18 of 87

Education and Training 2010 work programme”. In Wales (UK) referring to the national legislation “Skills development programmes”, among other policies they are going to evaluate different methods to evaluate informal learning. Sweden adult education is one of the learning opportunities offered by society to the individual and it has a long tradition in Sweden. In German the current debate on the recognition of importance of non-formal and informal learning is represented in the “Strategic Paper for Life-long Learning in the Federal Republic of Germany” of the Federal/State Commission. In Bulgarian the data of National Statistical Institute provided from the Adult Education Survey (AES) of EUROSTAT, show the participation of the population aged 25-64 in formal, nonformal and informal learning in 2007 is 36.5%. The political will for development and implementation of a system for validation of non-formal and informal learning is also set as a main activity in the Strategy for Continuing Vocational Training (2005 – 2010). In 2009 has been developed the project “Promoting adults’ vocational training and employability in Bulgaria“. Nevertheless guidelines at European and national level on the importance of validation of competences acquired in formal and non-formal settings exist, it’s still missing among the adult audiences an awareness on these themes. Do they really know that you can turn your life into a learning enviroment? In general terms what kinds of learning do the adult/third sector offer? Not only KVALUES aims to contribute to this debate it wants to identify what competences and skills can be evaluated. The KVALUES propose the use of Digital storytelling as method to show and recognized the competences acquired in the non-formal and informal process of learning and put the individuals at the centre of this process. The use of Digitalstorytelling proved to be successful in a previous DeTALES European project (510674-LLP-1-2010-1-IT-GRUNDTVIG-GMP) to engage adults in disadvantage conditions. All partners share the same interest in the project’s outcomes and results as it’s a key issue for their endusers and the will to have a deeper insight in the theme at European level. The results will be incorporated in the ENDIKST Digital storytelling community of practice (518967-LLp-12011-1-IT-KA3-KA3NW).

Please summarise the project / network outcomes and describe (a) how the new proposal seeks to build on them and, (b) how ownership / copyright issues are to be dealt with (limit 1000

characters). DeTALES, Digital Education through adult learners’ EU enlargement stories project, aims at creating training materials to transfer knowledge on EU-enlargement by the digital storytelling methodology. To support the rapprochement of the identified target group of adults learners of old European members like beside the recently added members like and the negotiating countries. DeTALES objectives are: -to raise civic competences; -to encourage intercultural dialogue among EU members; -to encourage adults to use the training materials on their own; -to encourage participation of disadvantage people in LLL. The new proposal KVALUES starts from that experience reusing and re-updating the content of the DS training manual in a new field of application and transferring the project outcomes in other countries. As the field of application is different and the DS process is part of the best practice of YWC the copyright issues have been dealt with. Key competences: Validating Adult Learners’ edUcational ExperienceS/KVALUES Page 19 of 87

Rationale for the setting-up of the consortium Please explain why the selected partners are best suited to participate in this European project. Describe complementary skills, expertise and competences within the consortium directly relating to the planned project activities (limit 3000 characters). The project’s consortium is a mix of old partners YCW P2 and GRIMME P3 from a previous European project De.TALES (510674-LLP-1-2010-1-IT-GRUNDTVIG-GMP) and new ones, P5, P6, P7 encountered in other European conferences. P4 was involved in the DeTALES project. The idea of the project springs from the successful feedbacks had from the previous project’s which showed that digitalstorytelling is a useful means to engage people of all ages and background. The consortium is composed by: the old ones because they have improved their already expertise in the subject and continue to confront themselves with other realities and subjects of application, the new ones because they thought that the methodology was interested and a good way of involving their users actively. The consortium includes all skills, recognized expertise and competences required to achieve project’s outcomes and outputs in time and in budget constraints. The allocation of tasks is done according their competences. ILS (P1) experienced in managing European projects, the coordinator of the previous project, is competent to coordinate the project and the consortium and to put in place all the administrative, management and coordination tools necessary lead the project. Therefore he will be leading WP1 (management), WP2 (research) and WP4 (piloting). YCW (P2) Centre for digitalstorytelling will be leading the train the trainers WP3 taking place in UK and DE, and will contribute to the research on the use of Digitalstorytelling and will support the development of the interactive website. Grimme Institute (P3) thanks to its media and technological competence will be the technological support in the WP3 and WP5 Creation of the interactive website Melting Pro (P4) leader of WP6 (quality plan) thanks to the experiences taking part in other European projects, possess the right skills to monitor the project’s activities. Its task is to draft an evaluation strategy based on learning outcomes for the trainings, for final conference and for dissemination materials to ensure sustainability of the project in close cooperation with P6, P7. Together with the coordinator organise the in-service Grundtvig training course. DIK (P5), besides having a real interest in testing this methodology and finding new ways of raising awareness in validating informal competences within its target users, aims at comparing its institution with other ones at European level. Tallin 2011 Foundation (P6) being a public body and in connection with other public bodies at national and European level will ensure mainstreaming and the multiplying effect of the project results. Humana (P7) is leader of dissemination and communication (WP7) thanks to its expertise in the area. All partners are aware of sharing the same responsibility in all the transversal WP, namely quality, dissemination and exploitation. Moreover their is a good balance at geographical level north and south Europe and between western, northern and eastern EU countries.

Investigation of the field (state of the art) and innovative character Please explain how the field of operation has been explored and indicate what the project is offering that is new and what are the main innovating elements (limit 3000 characters). Based on our experiences in the adult education field and in the cultural field, we realized that the target group in question, adults, young adults in disadvantage conditions, unemployed, inactive people are not aware that what you learn at work or in life can be turned into learning opportunities. They aren’t aware that not only practical skills are useful to find a job or a better job position but also the key competences such as social, transversal, cultural, creative and entrepreneurship thinking skills are an added value to their curricula. How to let people understand and make them aware of the importance of these skills and competences? In Europe there are tools available for assessing learning irrespective of different types of learnings. The elements existing in the Europass portfolio (Europass CV, language passport, certificate supplement, mobility, etc.) aren’t sufficient to permit the individuals to make a real recognition of learning experiences and doesn’t give the opportunity to expose particular type of skills. KVALUES intends to use a tested and appreciated methodology to engage adult learners, namely the digital storytelling, as an innovative tool to guide the adult to self-evaluate their competences. Per se the Ds methodology is not an innovative tool, but its strength lies in being a versatile and transferable to tool. Digital storytelling can also be delivered in a non-accredited way, so that the learner can simply enjoy ‘the Key competences: Validating Adult Learners’ edUcational ExperienceS/KVALUES Page 20 of 87

experience’ and can receive the benefits of learning about the process and achieving the outcome of a finished story at the end. To ensure that people can learn throughout their lifetime, in such a way that their experiences and competencies in whatever form acquired can be used, interpreted and being considered as key elements of a new right to active citizenship and employability. In line with the European guidelines that insists that the process of making visible the full range of knowledge, skills and competences held by an individual is carried out in a way that remains voluntary. KVALUES project focuses more on the process itself of putting the individual in the learning process more than being a certification tool. Against other experiences the KVALUES project aims at also in externalising these experiences in a momentum. E-portfolio experiences already exists. These kind of tools have a limit, the use of sophisticated tools can deprive the learner of the process of self-evaluation. The nature of digital storytelling also exposes the learner to hidden learning opportunities, such as valuing others’ opinions, emotional resonance, empathy and confidence building. The KVALUES aims to enhance not only what practically you are able to do, but also learning for leaving, learning to know, learning to do, learning to live, learning to be (ELLI Index). Learning multidisciplinary skills, creative and entrepreneurship thinking to ensure adults’ personal development.

D.2 Aims and objectives Please define the concrete aims and objectives of the project / network and describe the ways in which the situation set out under the previous section (D.1) will be changed. (limit 3000 characters). In line with the GRUNDTVIG Programme objectives the overall aim of KVALUES is to raise awareness and to deepen key competences throughout life by encouraging adults, young adults in disadvantaged conditions, unemployed, inactive people to turn individual’s life and working environments into learning environments by recognizing skills and key competences. The project aims at providing the cultural sector and the third sector a new training manual based on digital storytelling methodology, to encourage the process of recognition and validation of non-formal and informal learning for adults and young adults in disadvantaged conditions. This tool highlights that interpersonal, communication, organizational, creative and entrepreneurship mindset skills are important as the technical ones, especially in a changing and globalized world facing the current economical crises. KVALUES aims at: - identifying skills and competences that can be validated in a non-formal and informal learning context - developing an innovative tool for self-assessment and description of the skills and key competences acquired in a life and working context - raising awareness amid the target group that life and work environments can be turned into places of learning - strengthening the role of cultural organization delivering adult liberal educational courses of their role in validating key competences. Therefore to encourage cultural organization to become meeting points between formal and informal learning - to test European guidelines for the validation of non-formal and informal learning contributing to the "Action plan on Adult learning"(CEDEFOP). - to increase confidence and self-esteem in adult learners and adult educators, raising awareness of the importance of key competences. In the long run the project’s objectives are: - to increase at European level the importance of recognizing non-formal and informal learning, underlining the social, economic and cultural benefits for all community for the recognition of the rights of individuals to have their learning recognized, its increased visibility; - to promote equality of opportunity for individuals to achieve recognition for their skills and competences, regardless of where these were acquired, so helping to establish a level playing field in education/training and the labour market; - to promote co-operation and a exchange of good practices in the sector involving different stakeholders; - to promote mobility actions as a non-formal learning means. Project outputs are: - “Digital curricula stories for all. Tools and guidelines for adult educators” PDF; - project handbook “Final publication of the results of the project”; - interactive website platform to make your own digital curricula story available also on mobile devices; All the stories will be the output of this educational process and the outcomes is to have raised awareness of adults of the importance of turning their life and work experiences in learning opportunities.

D.3 Methodology Please define the methodology proposed for achieving the objectives (including major milestones, measurable indicators, etc) (limit 3000 characters). The project core is developed in 4 steps: 1) Research of best practices and perspective at national level in the sector of lifelong learning and of the validation of competences acquired in non-formal and informal learning. Prior to delivering the trainings the research covers: - a mapping of existing practices in Europe for the validation of non-formal and informal skills, particularly in reference to the projects already developed in Europe; - their collection, analysis, selection aimed at identifying best practices to use as a reference; - a survey that anticipates trends and needs in the cultural and social sector about validation of informal and non-formal competences (to carry out a number of interviews to relevant stakeholders asking specifically about the KVALUES approach, the feedback are valuable input for the production of KVALUES services; - mapping of skills that can be valuated in the adult education sector; The project is planned to have a snow ball effect. 2) Training of 20 adult educators (5 trainers selected from P4, P5, P6, P7) to master the use of digital storytelling to enhance key competences of the target group, divided in two trainings, 1 to master the digital storytelling, in UK, and 1 to learn how to deliver, in DE. It enhance mobility as a way of acquiring transversal skills and promote exchange of good practices. The implementation of a digital curricula story puts the individual at the center of the learning, fostering key competences (creative, entrepreneurship, basics, cultural, etc.) and, consequently, the need/willingness to undertake a new training process The process of validation helps learners to think about what they have achieved so far and identify their strengths and skills. It helps to identify longerterm goals and what they need to do to achieve them. The use of digital tools, combined with the narrative process, aims to encourage individuals, usually excluded from traditional pathways of formal training aiming at transferring practical skills, to become more aware of the importance of key competences to help them to re-enter in the labour market. 3) Piloting. The 5 trainers from the 4 countries will run the piloting trainings targeted at their users in 4 countries of the partnership P4, P5, P6, P7. TOT:100. Using the same methodology of the training of the trainers. 4) Development of an interactive website that can be use on the different devices (also mobile) Dissemination and Exploitation of results. One conference addressed to 50 at national level to involve important stakeholders to disseminate the project’s results but also to engage in networking activities to sustain the project in the future. In Italy a Grundtvig in service training course will be organized at the end of the project. Beside the monitoring of the project, an evaluation strategy referring to EQF will be draft, for the trainers and adults. Moreover also a balance of competences of the organization’s staff will be carried out.

Please explain how the overall project management will be implemented making specific reference to the management structure of the partnership, how decisions will be taken and how the partnership proposes to ensure permanent and effective communication and reporting (limit 1000 characters). The Luigi Sturzo Institute is the main coordinator, nevertheless roles and responsibilities are agreed among partners and a steering committee will be set up at the beginning of the project. Task allocation is done according to staff competences in the process of drafting the project. By using a specific tool, the workpackage form, filled by the coordinator and the WP leader everyone is going to have clear their role. A participative approach is encouraged and partners are aware of their responsibility. The consortium will also introduce and agree on a conflict resolution process and introduce a communication system for internal communication (between the different project actors) and for external communication (with target groups stakeholders and media) and a detailed dissemination plan tailored to target group needs. Reporting will be done every 6 months. Signature of a partners’ agreement at the very start of the project and of a copyright agreement.

D.4 European added value Please describe the benefits of and need for European cooperation (limit 3000 characters). KVALUES project stems from a identified need at European level of investing in mechanism for the recognition and validation of competences (mid term review of the LLL by EU commission November 2011). As such, they are an essential part of the EU's ‘Education and Training 2020’. The current economic situation EU is facing with a raising number of unemployed and social exclusion of disadvantaged groups urges a response at European level. The KVALUES project contributes to strengthen the role of the target group in the society and of lifelong learning. The project consortium identified the general demand in Europe to develop new ways of identification and valorization of non-formal and informal competences in the cultural sector. This previous assessment concluded that the project outcomes and output will have relevance at European scale and intends to promote cooperation between higher education institutions, research institutes, adult centres, job centres and the third sector, policy makers active in the cultural sector to speed up the process of validation of competences. The different competences of each partner will develop a an innovative tools learnercentered that can be better interpreted and used at European level. The project’s added value is that the partnership is extremely qualified. The development of a tool aiming at facilitating the recognition of the single person’s inner cultural and learning background of key and transversal competences or even practical, aims at encouraging other adult organizations and at institutional level to speed up this process. Obviously it should be part of a bigger process that entails formal educational pathway too, that adult learners maybe be more encouraged to undertake. The process as well as the tool its going to be tested in the cultural sector with different target groups. Easily transferable in other context or European countries, ensuring a European wise impact. Transferring modeling of digital storytelling as a way to valorization personal skills and competences from a country to another one taking into account different background and tradition to adapt the model to the local context. All materials are realized in all the partnership languages. All the activities have been planned in all the countries participating in the project to promote transnational mobility of partners and staff members. Adults will share their story at European level through the interactive project website. The methodology applied in the project will not only share best practice but also preserve and enhance a European memory. As tested before (the DeTales project) the stories are different due to the participants background, culture and geographical location yet their share common values and ideas. The stories will help also to encourage the process of becoming a European Citizen, which is threatened by the current institutional crises.

D.5 Budget and cost effectiveness Please describe the strategy adopted to ensure that the proposed results and objectives will be achieved in the most economical way. Explain the principals of budget allocation amongst partners. Indicate the arrangements adopted for financial management ((limit 3000 characters). The strategy used to design the budget is based on 2 complementary elements: the consistency between the work programme and the foreseen costs and the need of assuring value for money. First point in the cost-benefit analysis concerns the allocation of expenditures by type of costs: being a project of exchange of good practice, research, training and piloting the highest percentage of direct costs is linked to the staff (46,86%). As the project results are a research on the field, a training course and a piloting activity in 4 European countries, the heaviest collective financial engagement is in terms of intellectual work: category 2 of the staff, including researchers and trainers, absorbs almost 51% of these costs. The involvement of this staff category is almost equal for all the partners, except for the P1 that has a biggest part because is involved in all activities of the project being the Leader of WP1, WP2 and WP4. The variation of staff costs is based on the real costs in each country. The expenditures to assure the management of the project are constrained under 13% of the total cost of the budget. Their allocation amongst partners reflects the roles in the work programme, with ILS as applicant having the highest percentage of 41,5% of the total cost for management. The second most important type of costs is “Other costs” (up to 25,95%) that include the necessary advertising costs, production of all communication materials, translation and printing of final publication, legal services, design, realization and maintenance of web site and platform. More than 55% of the total amount of “Other costs” is allocated for WP7 and WP8 activities and products that will be spread in each Key competences: Validating Adult Learners’ edUcational ExperienceS/KVALUES Page 24 of 87

country. Most of the costs for advertisement vary from one partner to the other according to each country’s economy. In general, attention is paid to the allocation of resources amongst partners to reflect their involvement in the WPs. Another relevant operational percentage of costs is for “Travel and subsistence” (18,31%), linked to the importance of cultural exchange to guarantee a European added value to the project. WP1, WP2, WP3, WP4 and WP7 foresee mobility moment with meetings in all participating countries plus the mobility of non-staff trainers for WP3 inserted in “Other costs”. “Equipment” the only scheduled expenditures are related to PCs, headsets, softwares and microphones necessary during the WP3, Train the trainers, and WP4, Piloting, to create digital curricula stories (6,19% of total costs). “Subcontracting” costs are reduced (2,69%), having the consortium almost all internal skills to develop the project with the exception of the graphic line of the project (logo, headed letter, brochure, newsletter, etc.), the production of dissemination marketing and didactic materials as a project's mousepad, folders, etc., and the need to assure impartial evaluation (WP6 costs for an external evaluator that will follow the whole project life) allocated in P1.

PART E. Impact, dissemination and exploitation, sustainability

E.1 Expected impact of the project Who will use these project outputs / products / results and how will the consortium reach them? Please describe how the target groups (including participating institutions, stakeholders) will be reached and involved during the life of the project and how the project will benefit the target group. What is the change your project will make? (limit 3000 characters). At the beginning of the project the short term target group, actively engaged, are: - staff involved in the project and the staff’s organizations (100) by embedding the project results in ongoing activities keep them posted with internal communication channels; - 770 stakeholders involved in the research phase through questionnaires and interviews in each country to contribute the KVALUES project; - 20 adults cultural trainers from IT, BG, SE, EE and their organizations; - 80 disadvantage adults in the piloting session; - the organisations’ end-users; - relevant stakeholders in the culture and adult education sector at all level through networking activities and PR. Their needs and expectations are analyzed in the research, training, piloting and evaluation phases. The beneficiaries have direct access to project results, training materials, news from the adult education sector in the field of validation competences. All the partners’ newsletter, the project website, project e-leaflet, printed brochure at least 500 in English 500 national languages (2 editions one to promote the project and one to promote the project results), newspapers. A final conference at the end of the project in Bulgaria is foreseen (envisaged 150 participants) and promoted through the Grundtvig database catalogue. Exploitation of results conferences envisaged impact 50 participants in each country. - in-service Grundtvig training course envisaged 20 participants; - the printed handbook (500 copies for each partner); - marketing materials (300 folders for each partners and 700 mousepad). Policy makers at local, national and European level will be invited to the activities. In the kick-off meeting in Rome a conference is foreseen to launch the project. The expected impact on the target group will be: - made use of project results for, at least, 27 organizations among consortium and organisations involved in the trainings; - identified skills and competences to be validated in a non-formal and informal learning context and improved curricula of 20 beneficiaries and 80 adults in disadvantaged conditions; - raised awareness among disadvantaged adults and young adults, unemployed, inactive people that life and work environments can be turned into places of learning enabling them to re-enter the labor market and that Key competences are a valuable asset; - strengthened the role of cultural organizations, third sector organizations in validating key competences; - tested European guidelines for the validation of non-formal and informal learning (CEDEFOP) in cultural organizations involved; - increased at European level the importance of recognizing non-formal and informal learning; - promoted equality of opportunity for individuals to achieve recognition for their skills and competences, regardless of where these were acquired; - promoted co-operation and a exchange of good practices in the sector involving different stakeholders. Impact measured with quality indicators (P4).

Please describe how the target groups (including participating institutions, stakeholders) will be reached after the project is finished (limit 3000 characters). The project website is going to be available after the end of the project for at least 5 years and all the research results and handbook will always be available on request to all the organizations partners and in the partners website and web 2.0 communication channels. Through the national agencies and the DG communication and culture, through the institutional channels, through the local employment centers public and privates. The project results are going to be incorporated the products into the regular work of the partners’ organisation. All the partners involved will spread the project results in conferences on adult education and in digital storytelling (festivals, conferences, etc...). Looking for public and private funding to develop one stepforward is one of the point of the dissemination and exploitation plan. A strong and systematic dissemination activity is planned to reach all target groups, thanks to an appropriate stakeholder map and the use of channels chosen ad hoc. Public dissemination of the project results by website and by relevant networks, articles on relevant newspapers, national and local press, internet dissemination channels (web 2.0, direct mailing,..), web 2.0 tools are used to reach all the cultural organization active in the liberal adult learning context who wish to know more about what is going on the validation of non-formal and informal competences. A qualitative evaluation (self-evaluation) to measure the impact on the end-users and quantitative evaluation of the effectiveness of the strategy are foreseen. At least 100 among Universities not only in Europe but also outside Europe, enterprises, cultural organizations, social partners, local bodies, national and European networks, in the large field of the culture sector, contacted to gather information through the questionnaires. Long term target groups are: decision makers in learning policies, learners, students, teachers, cultural operators, learning and training institutions, universities, ICT and digital enterprises and others who can benefit from DST methodology. To reach a wider audience the consortium will aim at is essential to building up a community around the topic, making links to other projects, networks, communities. The partners are able to give a European value to the project, using their networks and contacts that could make the “voice of the project” grow up taking also part of DS community of practice promoted by the Luigi Sturzo Institute Enkdist - European Network for Knowledge diffusion of DIgital StoryTelling. A copyright issues will guarantee also sustainability of the project and the partnership will take into consideration to make marketing research for future exploitation. Boards of the organisations involved will raise among education policy makers their motivation to promote and support the KVALUES project and to integrate them into existing activities (mainstreaming).

E.2 Dissemination and exploitation strategy How will the dissemination be organised and how will exploitation activities ensure optimal use of the results? (limit 3000 characters). The variety of actors involved in the consortium will greatly benefit the dissemination activities for the project and ensure that the project results and outcomes are promoted to a wide range of stakeholders, both geographical and sectorial terms. Indeed, the consortium appears well balanced geographically covering all areas of Europe. Considering the different types of institutions involved, the consortium itself gives voice to a wide range of different stakeholders active in the field of the adult education and cultural sector, and will ensure that the results of the project are spread across a wide audience across Europe and beyond. In order to ensure that the project results are exploitable and to reach project’s target group i.e. represent value for the target group and are applicable, these will be developed in a way that they are adapted and tailored to the real needs of the target group. A set of quality indicators as benchmarks are foreseen and it will be updated to changing needs during the project’s duration. All partners are aware of importance of dissemination and exploitation of results. Associated budget has been foreseen for each partner. To ensure this at the outset of the project an extended dissemination plan and calendar of dissemination activities will be drafted containing: A. Dissemination and exploitation activities A.1. Importance of valorising a project agreed by every partner A. 2. Difference between dissemination and exploitation A. 3. Dissemination and exploitation activities in the KVALUES project B. Levels of dissemination B.1. The micro level (adult educators, trainers, organizations’ end users, disadvantaged adults, staff involved in the partnership, personal networking, exploitation of networks) B. 2. The meso level (adult and cultural networks at European, national and local level) B. 3. The macro level (National bodies, European bodies, local bodies) C. C. C. C.

E.3 Sustainability How will the impact of this project be sustained beyond its lifetime? How will the results be mainstreamed and multiplied in the sector of activity? (Limit 3000 characters) Valorisation is among the priorities of the EU Grundtvig Funding programme. It reflects the European Commission’s request that the products of the Grundtvig programme should not be merely consigned to the archives. Rather, project outcomes and new knowledge gained should be transferred into mainstream practice and policy development. A good valorisation plan promotes sustainability. This partnership is brought together to develop strategies for effective adult cultural education. The nature of the partners ensures the sustainability of the project results beyond the project lifetime. Firstly the project outputs are going to be integrated into the long –term strategy of the partners. The project results are relevant for the mission of each partner involved in the consortium. Relevant stakeholder like policy makers are going to be involved in the research phase. One strong point of the project is the involvement of different stakeholder at horizontal level as previously stated. Project matches political priority at local, national and European level to strengthen the importance of validation of informal and non-formal competences cultural as a trigger for economic competitiveness and growth. The project outcomes, the improved curricula of the target groups are example encouraging to co-invest in the activities of education and training institutions. The training of people ready to embrace a changing intercultural world is one of the key issues in the development strategies at local, national and European level. The project aims in the future to align expectations of employers and employable workers in the cultural sector. The project is in line with the implementation of the new European skills passport and the transferability, transparency recognition of competencies. One of the main aims of the dissemination and exploitation strategy is to raise awareness among different stakeholders, short term and long term beneficiaries of the importance of adult education and that adults are aware that we learn everywhere. This kind of learning is important as the more structural learning pathways and should be valued. The process of digital storytelling can help and encourage this process of self awareness. One of the importance point is that this model can be transferable in other sectors. After the project lifetime the consortium will investigate the field of applying this DS methodology in a enterprise and school context. The partners will look into private or public fundings to deliver this training, and if possible to deliver them for free otherwise against the payment of a fee. A copyright agreement is foreseen.

PART F. Action or programme specific information

This section should allow you to provide specific information related to the Action under which you are submitting your application. Please refer to the "Instructions for Applicants" (limit 3000 characters). Inequitable access to lifelong training remains a key issue in the European 2020 strategy for a smart, sustainable and inclusive European economy. Unlike employees on permanent contracts, or high qualified adult workers, which have better access to lifelong learning, low skilled people, seniors, groups at risk, immigrants, unemployed, or adults on temporary contracts have less chances or encouragement to engage themselves in lifelong learning. Low skilled people participate five times less in adult learning than adults with high qualifications levels. More flexible and attractive learning pathways are needed to encourage adult learners to access lifelong learning opportunities. The project wants to encourage the personal self-development by encouraging adults to explore other learning solutions more suitable and enjoyable to their needs. The project aims at widening the access to target groups like adults in disadvantage conditions. By achieving this target it also responds to the educational challenge of an ageing population in Europe. Likewise it contributes to provide adults with pathways to improve their knowledge and competences by developing and testing new training material based on the digitalstorytelling methodology (DIGITAL AGENDA). By testing and developing the digital storytelling method not only in a informal learning context but also in European context it helps disadvantage groups at regaining self esteem and confidence. The stories not only can reach the viewer emotionally, but also have embedded some learning points that help him to confront himself with other cultures at European level. In line with GRUNDTVIG PROGRAMME objectives the KVALUES project intends to contribute to highlight the importance of adult education for a more growth and inclusive society by encouraging validation of Key Values, as such Key competences. KVALUES helps to facilitate the development of innovative practices in adult education and their transfer, including from one participating country to another.

Description of the work package (limit 3000 characters) The research will cover: - a mapping of existing practices in Europe for the validation of non-formal and informal skills, particularly in reference to the projects already developed in Europe; - their collection, analysis, selection aimed at identifying best practices to use as a reference; - a survey that anticipates trends and needs in the cultural and social sector about validation of informal and non-formal competences; - mapping of skills that can be valuated in the adult education sector; - the investigation of the application of Digital storytelling methodology in a non-accredited way to enhance competences and skills acquired in life, at work and in the adult learning context. The research will be conducted by specialized researchers through a mix of methodologies and techniques (qualitative research, SWOT analysis, Delphi analysis). The research will not be exhaustive of all professional practice but rather a snapshot focusing on the cultural and social sectors. By involving directly and asking the experts specifically about the KVALUES approach. The research it’s going to have a qualitative approach rather than a quantitative approach. Each partner (for the exception of P2 UK, P3 DE and P5 SE that will collaborate) is responsible to collect and analyse at least 100 questionnaires and at least 10 interviews (or focus group or one-to-one interview) to stakeholders as responsible of adult educational providers, responsible of adult educational activities in the cultural organizations, guidance services, employer, public body at European and national level, LLLNA agency etc. Each partner will ask the experts about the KVALUES approach and their feedbacks will have a valuable input for the production of the KVALUES services. The research in DE, SE and UK will be carried out by the coordinator supported by P4 and local partners. In the research the following criteria need to be considered: - validity: the tool must measure what it is intended to measure; - reliability: the extent to which identical results would be achieved every - time a candidate is assessed under the same conditions; - fairness: the extent to which an assessment decision is free from bias; - cognitive range: does the tool enable assessors to judge the breadth and depth of the candidate’s learning; - fitness for purpose: ensuring the purpose of the assessment tool matches the use for which it is intended. The results of the research are going to be discussed in the meeting in Estonia. A first draft of the report will be only published on line available to download from the project web site in English. At the end of the project these results will be added in the project handbook. Each partner will collect the best practices at national level. P1 will draft the questionnaire with the support of the partners. Then everybody will submit the questionnaires and the interviews and P1 draft the report.

Description of the work package (limit 3000 characters) This WP is organized in two courses: 1 in UK where the trainers will master the digital storytelling method applied to the validation of informal and non-formal learning; 1 in DE where they learn how to deliver and to facilitate a digital storytelling workshop for adults, young adults in disadvantaged conditions, unemployed, inactive people. Selection of trainers between the heritage/cultural sector, the third sector delivering adult educational activities to adults in disadvantage and people working in job centres by P4, P5, P6, P7 by May 2013. The selection process is made by a public notice, published on the partners’ websites, on the project website, send through direct mailing list, on relevant European networks and on web 2.0 tools. The trainers should meet certain criteria, yet to consider mainly motivation, to assure that is embedded in the trainer’s organization. List of 20 trainers by July 2013. Each participant will be equipped to create a digital story. Before the training in UK a prep meeting will be organized to brief them on what is the digitalstorytelling, what to expect from the training and how to prepare themselves and a briefing on copyright issues. The workshop scheme: - icebreaking activities; - briefing part; - Writing. Led by P2 (UK) the writing process starts with a ‘story circle’. This session is designed to bond storytellers as a group and to tease out of them their innate powers of storytelling. The ultimate goal is to get scripts drafted and finalised ready for voice recording; - Editing: led by P3 (DE) introducing the editing software. 20 digital curricula stories will be created; - final screening of stories; - finally a plenary evaluation session led by P4 (MeP). The nature of the teaching of digital stories is that they can be delivered flexibly both in an accredited and non-accredited way. In an accredited context, the evidencing of work required to create a story is straightforward, as physical evidence is produced throughout the production cycle i.e. script, storyboard, planning docs, photos, work log etc. This evidence can be generated in different ways and amounts for learners working at various academic levels. Learners receive the benefits of process, product and prize. digital storytelling can also be delivered in a non-accredited way, so that the learner can simply enjoy ‘the experience’ and can receive the benefits of learning about the process and achieving the outcome of a finished story at the end, with no intrinsic requirement to produce assessed work. The nature of digital storytelling also exposes the learner to hidden learning opportunities, such as valuing others’ opinions, emotional resonance, empathy and confidence building. A certain personal investment is required to produce a story and often the greater the investment, the greater the rewards for the learner. For this activity equipment as laptops, software, microphone, mouse and headphones are necessary to turn stories into digital outputs.

Description of the work package (limit 3000 characters) This workpackage aims to create a website, the same one of the project web site, shows different parts and topics of the methodology of creating a digital story as chapters which are presented in form of an index. The index shows the order of the methodology from the beginning to the end and every chapter is seen in text form as well as an icon to visualize the different methods and to improve the usability of this interactive website with mobile devices such as smart phones or tablet computers. Every chapter contains different kinds of information on a specific topic in form of (for example) text documents, audio and video files and pictures. The user is able to start learning how to create a story from the very beginning, from every point of the index or can just choose one chapter to learn. At the end of each chapter the user will be forwarded to either the next chapter of the website, to the main index, to the chapter before or to the beginning of the same chapter. Some parts of information will be not only viewable on the website but downloadable to give the user the possibility of working offline with the material. The whole website is comparable to an interactive book which give the user the possibility to start and stop learning the methodology of digital storytelling at any point. Additionally a commentary function for questions and answers is possible and enables communication with the project team or the sharing of experiences with other users. The long duration of this WP is due to the fact that the research results will be the starting point for the platform.

Description of the work package (limit 3000 characters) Exploitation of the results of the project is going to start at soon as they became available, at the end of WP2. The aim is to encourage the short and long target groups identified to adopt as the results a reference to encourage a stronger analysis of the validation of informal and non-formal learning at European level. Exploitation continues at the end of the piloting to present the results to the relevant stakeholders through final exploitation conferences. To the direct beneficiaries a questionnaire to evaluate the how the training improved their conditions is going to be given after 6 months at the end of the project. At meso level: regional and national training and cultural bodies, employment agencies, quality assurance agencies, national professional associations, sectorial/branch organisations, regional employers organisations. A fluid contact with organisations at the meso level will help to prevent project partners from reinventing the wheel’ in terms of trends and needs in their respective national adults’ learning context. It is vital for project partners to be informed about the situation in their own countries and to be in contact with relevant information sources. At this level, it is also advisable to involve participants from stakeholders for example as guest speakers at conferences or by inviting them to contribute in the project. At macro level: the EU institutions, European sectorial/branch organisations, the European social partners, European professional associations, Cedefop, national policy-makers, national social partners, etc. A principle aim in this level is to allow project results to feed into and influence national and international policy developments. Here, the strategic role of European networks is significant, because they represent many countries and regions and can, in many cases, be a mouthpiece for network members who are seeking to influence the policy-makers and stakeholders at their respective levels The results of the project are going to be available from the project website and from all the partners’ websites and from other relevant websites. The partners are going to draft an intellectual property right agreement. Effective tools put in plan to exploit the project results are: - exploitation conferences planned in all countries of the partnership from September 2014 to November 2014 targeted to 50 stakeholders; - Grundtvig training course in Rome, in October 2014 open to 20 informal adult educators in the large non-profit world and to teachers. Moreover, the trainers and trainees are going to be monitored over 6 months after the end of the trainings to evaluate the outcomes. Furthermore the project results are embedded in the partners’ organisation who wish to continue the project even after the end of it. The project will be part of the community of practice of digitalstorytelling ENDISKT-European network for Knowledge diffusion of Digitalstorytelling. The aim is to create a community around these themes.
