ETHLAE – Emerging Technologies for Holistic Literacy in Adult Education

11 Feb, 2025

The “Emerging Technologies for Holistic Literacy in Adult Education (ETHLAE)” project aims to address the challenge of effectively integrating emerging technologies into adult learning and education contexts.

The ETHLAE project builds strongly upon existing work while it aims at filling the gap about innovative pedagogies with emerging technologies, specifically for holistic literacy programs for adults in vulnerable situations. This is because despite extensive exploration of these technologies, a gap in pedagogical approaches remains. For this reason, the project wants to ensure their meaningful incorporation, particularly in inclusive literacy and life skills programs for adults.

Building on the findings from extensive research at a European level, ETHLAE aligns with EU policies like the Digital Education Action Plan to foster digital proficiency and understanding among learners.

 

Key objectives:

 

  1. Analyzing, Adapting, and Testing Methods to embed emerging technologies in the Adult Learning and Education (ALE) sector and in holistic literacy programs.
  2. Supporting ALE Educators in designing and delivering holistic literacy education programs for adults in vulnerable situations, embedding emerging technologies when beneficial, and considering social, contextual, economical, and personal needs of educators and learners.
  3. Addressing Inclusion and Diversity in ALE by improving the delivery of holistic literacy programs for adults in diverse states of exclusion.
  4. Building Capacity of ALE educators in integrating emerging technologies into adult education, addressing digital transformation by providing resources, training, and support.
  5. Enhancing Educator Competences, particularly in teaching methods, digital skills development, and teaching for sustainability, by employing peer learning methods and fruitful exchange between adult educators and ALE staff.
  6. Promoting Local Learning Centers and Innovative Learning Spaces by piloting holistic literacy programs embedding emerging technologies in local ALE organizations.

 

Target groups:

 

The activities of the ETHLAE project aim to involve several main target groups, directly or indirectly. The primary target groups are the following:

 

  1. Adult Learning and Education (ALE) educators
  2. Adult learners
  3. Local authorities
  4. Civil society organizations
  5. Stakeholders in technology-driven education initiatives
