The document proposes future steps for the European Women Interactive Learning project. It suggests testing a flexible training path using existing project elements, rather than creating a new ICT tool. Each partner would organize a demo experience using one ICT tool to familiarize small groups of women with the methodology. Groups from each country would communicate and exchange views. Representatives from each group would then meet in Turkey to discuss results and refine the proposed training path based on needs of the target group. The goal is to provide women with practical learning experiences to develop key competencies using culturally relevant content and guided ICT use.

PROPOSED FUTURE STEPS

2. 1) THE PROJECT SPECIFIC
AIMS
We would like to propose a possible development of project activities,
from now on, allowing to achieve
THE PROJECT EXPECTED OBJECTIVES
1. identify ICT based methods and tools to motivate and stimulate
women to learn in different non – formal learning contexts
(PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS: GOOD PROGRESS SO FAR)
2. provide women with a practical learning experience based on
ICT, to be tested on a group of women for the acquisition of
competencies in the cultural field (MORE DETAILS IN THE NEXT
SLIDES)
3. disseminate the experience (SUCCESSFULLY ONGOING)

3. 2) CONSIDERATIONS 1
Due to:
 budget constraints
 the lack of the main technological partner included in the project
consortium at the beginning (= in the application form)
 the aims and scope of the project (= learning partnership, not larger, more
complex project)
The option of creating an ICT tool to be tested during the project is not
sustainable

4. 3) THE WORK DONE SO FAR
WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE – ELEMENTS TO BUILD ON
1) The preliminary analysis made by the Lifelong Learning Research
Institute on motivational ICT learning approaches
2) The results (and related presentation) of the online questionnaire
which have been discussed this morning
3) Suitable cultural contents to be proposed for the learning experience
among the ones proposed by CCL and selected by the questionnaire
respondents
4) The partners experiences
5) A suitable basin of potential testers for each country

5. 4) THE WAY AHEAD
WHAT WE PROPOSE:
To combine the existing elements to
1) Develop a flexible training path
2) To be tested and experienced with the project targets:
- women
- 35 +
- with precarious, part time or no job
- working in the social or educational field
3) Allowing them to acquire 4 “key learning competencies”
- Digital competencies
- “Learning to learn”
- Cultural awareness and expression
- Sense of initiative and entrepreneurship

6. 5) WHAT WE PROPOSE – 1
Specifically, for project objective n. 2: “provide women with a practical learning
experience based on ICT, to be tested on a group of women for the acquisition of
competencies in the cultural field”:
1. we suggest to test not an ICT tool, but rather a methodology and a training path that we will
define during EWIL activities, putting together partners experiences
2. We propose that each partner organises a demo practical experience, with the support of one
specific tool identified in the methodology (the tool the partner is most familiar with).
3. the testing phase could be done at national level, involving a small group of women for each
country, who will experience EWIL methodology and communicate with the other groups
4. with a double aim, consistent with EWIL objective:
• To become familiar with ICT tools
• To start the non – formal training process, by put in contact homogeneous
target groups

7. 6) WHAT WE PROPOSE – 2
1) TO REFINE AND COMBINE THE MENTIONED ELEMENTS TO STUDY AND PROPOSE
SOME METHODOLOGICAL GUIDELINES
for the use of ICT to foster the target group learning process. This could include:
o An introduction presenting the preliminary analysis made by the LLRI on
motivational ICT learning approaches
o A 1st section illustrating (very briefly) which are the possible
instruments to be exploited for ICT – based learning
o A 2nd section on cultural contents available to be transferred
o A 3rd section illustrating the online questionnaire genesis and results
o A 4th section with best practices, projects and examples from the partners’
experience (and others)
o A 5th section proposing, on the basis of the previous sections / elements, a
suitable training path

8. 7) WHAT WE PROPOSE – 3
IN ORDER TO DEFINE THE TRAINING PATH, WE SHOULD IDENTIFY
o The aims of the learning process (e.g. competencies to be acquired)
o The target group of the learning process
o The motivations of the target group
o The contents to be transferred

9. 7) WHAT WE PROPOSE – 4
2) TO EXPERIMENT THE MENTIONED METHODOLOGY / TRAINING PATH IN SMALL
GROUPS OF TESTERS AT NATIONAL LEVEL (6 participants for each group?) by
organising small meetings (three in each country?) to:
o Explain the project genesis, aims and structure
o Experiment the identified learning path with the testers, as a learning
process to acquire / propose cultural contents through the guided, pro-
active use of ICT
o Discuss the results with the group of testers and submit to them a
self - evaluation questionnaire on the key competencies acquired
The small groups have to include:
•- Women of 35 years old or more
•- Outside formal learning systems
•- Being precarious workers/part time workers / unemployed
•- Working in the education sector or in the social sector

10. 8) WHAT WE PROPOSE – 5
3) TO PUT EACH NATIONAL GROUP IN TOUCH TO BETTER EXCHANGE VIEWS
4) TO INVITE ONE MEMBER OF EACH “NATIONAL GROUP” having a good command
of English to the “testing meeting” IN TURKEY in April (if possible: end of April?
More time to prepare!)

11. 9) WHAT WE PROPOSE – 6
5) TO DISCUSS THE RESULTS OF NATIONAL TESTS IN GAZIANTEP MEETING (APRIL
2012) and to refine the proposed training path / methodology accordingly
In this way the Gaziantep meeting will include:
• An enlargement of the project working group to the target group
• A suitable method to adapt the proposed training path to the needs and
constraints of the project target group
• A “real life check” of the results of the project
