Aims & Objectives

The Key Tutors project (2015-2017) is an Erasmus+ project (selection 2015). It offers both a pedagogical tool & training for tutors in the field of Key competences. Professionals are mainly social workers but also trainers/tutors in variours fields of activities. Whatever their educative and/or professional background, they are not trained to support learners from disadvantaged backgrounds/with fewer opportunities – a relevant social and educative support is needed. The main issue of the Key Tutors is to design a tool to identify and assess key competences among learners with fever opportunities.

The Key Tutor project aims to promote the development, testing and implementation of innovative practice in the field of education for adult in implementing an education guidance for professionals (trainers and tutors in enterprise) working in the field of "Education for all" in order for them to develop basic and transversal skills among adult learners from disadvantaged background (basic and transversal skills, people in integration, long-term unemployed, people with disabilities, migrants ...).

The Key Tutors project addresses the following priorities : To promote the development, testing and implementation of innovation practices in the field of education, training and youth ;  To facilitate the recognition, and validation of knowledge, skills and competences acquired through formal, non-formal and informal learning ; and 3-  To support learners with special needs (disadvantaged backgrounds) to complete education cycles and facilitate their transition into the labour market.

The Key Tutors project addresses two publics: Professionals working with these leaners in associations , local authorities and Small and Medium Entreprises (SME) and learners from disadvantaged backgrounds/with fewer opportunities.

 From January to July 2017, the European team has been working on the Intellectual Ouput 2- a guidance for trainers & tutors to support learners with less opportunities in their transition to the labour market or a training. A transnational seminar  held in Warsaw (POland) in May 2017 validated the methodological approach & the final framework of the e-book available online in August 2017.
The designing & testing of the Intellectual outpu 1 (IO1) was implemented from January to December 2016. For France, iriv conseil has been testing it from  March to December 2016 thanks to its monthly club at the Cité des Métiers. A transnational seminar  held in May 2016 at the University of Jyvaskyla (Finland) valiated the final framework.
The last  EU meeting gathered the European team in Valladolid (Spain) in June 2017. The previous EU meeting was held in Vilnius (Lithuania) in June 2016. The kick off meeting of the project took place in Angers (Maine et Loire) in October 2015 with an official reception  organised at the City hall offered by two deputy mayors, in charge of Tourim and International relations.
