Ekvilib Institute has started a new project on socio-cultural educational approaches addressed to disadvantaged youth and young adults who are facing the risk of social disintegration and exclusion. It is running in the frame of a Grundtvig Learning Partnership in the Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Union.
Cultural approaches and peer-learning are more and more accepted pedagogical methods especially in informal education. The intention of this learning partnership is to exchange experience of cultural and peer-learning approaches for integration of socio-economically disadvantaged youth.
Project coordinator is “Institut equalita” (DE), partners are “Büro für Kultur- und Medienprojekte” (DE), “Vienna Institute for International Dialogue and Cooperation” VIDC (AT), “SPOR Media” (DK), “Ekvilib Institute” (SL), “Foundation for Development of the Cultural and Business Potential of Civil Society” (BG) and “People against Racism” (SK).
You can find current information at the Project Blog and on the website under this link: "Culture and peer-learning for integration".
The compendium "Culture and peer-learning for integration", which is focusing on the field of cultural approaches to peer-learning, exposing the main findings of the partnership and also includes various cases of good practice can be found here.
