MULTIPLIER EVENT -ITALY
On 29 June 2018, Pixel organized a Multiplier Event entitled “The Role of ICT in Adult Education”. The event, held at Grand Hotel Mediterraneo, was organized in the framework of the European project UpSkillead (Upskilling Adult Educators Digital Lead).
The multiplier event was organized with an opening speech by Joseph Vancell (University of Hull) on “E-learning and adult education: Where are we now?” and an introduction to the UpSkillead European project by Antonio Giordano (Pixel).
Then, participants – who had already suggested ideas and proposals – were split into 3 groups and had the opportunity to discuss on the following topics: how to enhance adult learners’ motivation; the role of soft skills in adult education; strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in the relationship between adult education and ICT.
Finally, a representative of each group was asked to summarize up the main results emerging from the common discussion. More information about the European project entitled UpSkillead is available at: http://upskillead.eu/.
