Slovenian Meeting

Summary of the Partnership

The project involved an innovative and creative collaboration among 5 partners to promote and to sustain a strategy whose outcome is to produce a tourist guide in print and to prepare learners with less employment opportunities to stand better chances to find employment as local guides.
The European dimension of the project was visible throughout the blend of cultures, approaches and new ideas that were issued throughout the 4 project meetings. Therefore the result was a mixture of different guides ( 5 guides – 5 routes, 1 guide – 5 routes, etc.) and the cultural and historical charge of each outlined rich potential of every area involved.
The didactic dimension  highlighted the contribution of the professional staff involved in the project. They were supposed to design the routes and to put them in print so as to serve as a didactic tool further on especially within the organizations that deal with adult education and job-placement directly.
In other cases, were the students themselves who designed the routes.
The job-training tool highlighted the use of learners with lower opportunities, offering them a chance to improve professionally and to get acquainted to other cultures and socities through such cooperative actions. Using or getting used to a foreign language was another important result of the project. Both learners and staff had the opportunity to use or improve their English
