The aim of this project is to strive for social inclusion and change by improving and extending the supply of high-quality learning opportunities for adults, through the creation of a comprehensive guide for creating and maintaining safe spaces for learning, including extended research on safe space mentality in the life systems of people, meaning family, community and international identity.
The project also aims to increase learning demand and take-up through effective outreach, guidance and motivation strategies that will be facilitated by the creation of a storytelling board game that will aim to not only recognize the safe and unsafe elements of a learning environment but also provide solutions, highlight the struggle and work towards resolving conflicts through understanding.Target groups of the project:
