Workshop implemented by Coimbra Higher Education School in Portugal promoting literacy(ies), equal learning opportunities, training and empowerment; stimulating self-esteem, participation and social inclusion of participants. The participants are between 20 and 95 years old, mostly women, Roma, immigrants, non-institutionalized and institutionalized elderly people, some with early-stage dementia and special educational needs. They meet once a week, in various locations, days and times. This GP is inspired by Paulo Freire’s approach. Biographical information (about schooling and education, but also work experience, hobbies) is provided by interested parties after the work of the Letras Prá Vida association has been publicized in job centres, aid associations, refugee centres and municipalities . The GP deals with the following diversity types (with regard to Erasmus+ priorities): cultural differences according to language, disabilities, health problems, barriers linked to discrimination. Considering that this good practice uses a methodology that values the individual and the resources for its implementation can be produced depending on each group, we believe that this good practice is easily transferable to other areas. In fact, since its creation until today, it has been replicated in other places. |
