During the dissemination phase, the Project Dissemination Plan was developed, establishing the target groups of the dissemination process, in order to define a realistic and achievable strategy that will provide the results of the project with the necessary impact and dissemination. The target groups of the dissemination process match the groups of beneficiaries of the impact, adding the multipliers that enabled the use of the results throughout Europe and achieve significant changes in the processes of inclusion and employability of unemployed adults and those who left the education system early.
This plan considered the special importance of disseminating the Intellectual Output O1: the “STRUCTURED AND PERSONALIZED COURSE FOR THE DIGITAL TRAINING OF ADULTS: FROM LITERACY TO DIGITAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL TRAINING” and the “BRIEF GUIDE FOR TRAINERS: FROM LITERACY TO DIGITAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL TRAINING”, one of the main tangible results of the project.
All these actions have been articulated around these three main axes of the plan:
Axis 1.- Internal direct target groups.
Axis 2.- External direct target groups.
Axis 3.- General target groups.
In this way, in order to disseminate the results of the project -especially the Intellectual Output- and enhance its impact throughout Europe, many activities have been developed:
MULTIPLIER EVENT
The Multiplier Event of the project “FROM LITERACY TO DIGITAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL TRAINING” was coordinated by Ikasia Technologies S.L. in collaboration with Redtree Making Projects Coop.V. and the Adults University of Universitat Politècnica de València.
This event was divided into 5 sessions due to the restrictions derived from the COVID-19 pandemic, prohibiting to gather the more than 100 participants planned in one space.
These sessions began on March 22, 2022, then on April 12 the second and third sessions were held, and on May 3 and 18 the fourth and fifth sessions respectively. All were carried out in the facilities of Campus de Vera of Universitat Politècnica de Valencia, in Valencia (Spain).
This Multiplier Event was focused on the presentation of the Intellectual Output of the project: the “STRUCTURED AND PERSONALIZED COURSE FOR THE DIGITAL TRAINING OF ADULTS: FROM LITERACY TO DIGITAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL TRAINING”, although the rest of the results of the project were also disseminated.
It was a great opportunity to enhance the impact of the project among the students and teachers of adult education. This event was a success in all its sessions, since the participants were very participatory and very interested in the online course and the rest of the results of the project.
