Name of institution: Research and training Institute Ltd
Type of the organization:
  • Private
  • Education and training organisation
  • Employment agency or service
Country:
  • Poland
Thematic scope of the project:
  • Access to employment and social inclusion
  • Education and training
Problems to be solved (justification of the need of the transnational cooperation):

Residents of small, rural communities may realize the importance of basic education for their children but are unable to provide adequate academic training with their own resources. Therefore, the project answers the need to develop appropriate teaching methods of social competences of youth from the rural areas  (age 15-24), who remain excluded from the system of education and labour market. Moreover, the educational opportunities in rural areas are often impractical and unrelated to the daily requirements of the community. Therefore there is a need for more practical and imaginative methods to stimulate learning, and encourage parents to assist in seeking further education for their children. We strongly believe, that gaining support to create international links allowing the exchange of knowldge between different institutions will have a positive influence on the social development of the youth, being at highest risk of exclusion.

Objectives to be achieved: Partners will exchange their present knowledge and experience. As the result of cooperation new tools, supporting the social inclusion of youth to education and labor market, will be developed.
Main transnational activities (as provisionally planned, to be confirmed with partners): Exchange of information, know-how, expertise, results and good practices, people (trainers, experts). Joint development of methods and tools for further work.
Planned deliverables & outcomes of TNC: Study visits, expert workshops, common developed tools and methods. Attitude supporting courses in order to strengthen the social capital of youth (general life skills). Creating bonds with similar institutions.
