Description:

It is a customized individual or group training planning aimed at Learners (age 18-65) that are formally under the assistance of the health and social services. The practice is used by the educational team of Cooperativa Cramars in Tolmezzo, Italy.

It initially consists of sharing a plan with the social services in relation to the needs of the specific learner in order to 1)identify users disadvantages, needs, difficulties; 2) build a specific training path for them 3) find suitable educators for the user.

The collection of user data is organized as described:

1) information -  the training provider presents to the social services the training possibilities for the learner 

2) meetings with social serves to fill the form with data and needs of participant. If useful, the user can take part to the meetings; 

3) meetings are organized with assistants, teachers and learners to present the course and organize the timetable (educators are chosen according to the familiarity of the educators with the users' diversity)

4) during the course coordinator/tutor continuously maintains a close relationship with social services and educators.

The GP deals with the following diversity types (with regard to Erasmus+ priorities): Barriers to education; Social, economic barriers.

This practice is carried out with groups that in some way already have a formally recognised diversity, this method can also be used with other targets in the same way through the collection of needs and actual difficulties to follow the courses (perhaps at the request of parents or employment centres) and the subsequent development of a training programme that follows the needs and difficulties of the person concerned.
