Resources: project toolkit

Project toolkit

The toolkit presents the reflections and results, which emerged during our two year Grundtvig partnership project 'ACtS' (Active Citizenship and Social Housing: learning citizenship living together), realized by a partnership of three Universities and civil society organizations based in Italy, United Kingdom and Finland.

The project addressed theoretical and methodological issues in informal citizenship education with disadvantaged groups, with the aim to develop guidelines for training of social educators acting as adult educators in these environments.

While the largest part of social-housing programs are PPP (public/private partnership) led programs, the educational and support programs are often carried out by private players like NGOs, charities, voluntary based organizations, which act as social-inclusion agents.  Normally Local Authorities funding these services ask the providers to assure informal citizenship education notions to beneficiaries to reduce conflicts in mixed living environments and to assure a better integration process in the local community.
