CARDIS

Catalogue of trades, professions or traditional jobs in risk of disappearance in Europe


The two-year project CARIDIS - “Catalogue of trades, professions or traditional jobs in risk of disappearance in Europe” commenced in September 2011 and is funded by the Lifelong Learning Program as a GRUNDTVIG Partnership. CARIDIS is focused on the creation of a catalogue of trades, professions or traditional jobs in risk of disappearance in Europe with the aim to increase in the adult learners the level of social participation and civil engagement and also to promote better awareness, understanding, respect and integration of socio-cultural similarities and differences within Europe.

The coordinator is Dr. Sergio Sanchez Sevilla of Instituto de Formacion Interdisciplinar C.B. (Spain) and apart from our school, the partner institutions are: FUN & LEARN-Verein zur Forderung der Bildung und der sinnvollen Freizeitgestaltung (Austria), Institut fur interkulturelle Kompetenz (IIK) e.V. (Germany), Istituto di Istruzione Superiore Pietro Scalcerle (Ιtaly), Liceo Classico e Scientifico “Publio Virgilio Marone” di Vico de Gargano(FG) (Ιtaly) and Meritum-Expats Specialists SP.ZO.O (Poland).

Core of the project CARIDIS is the application of alternative teaching / learning methods on entrepreneurship and “learning to learn” so as to improve the quality and attractiveness of adult education. The project aims to develop: a manual of good practices applied to adult education, a catalogue of trades, professions or traditional jobs in risk of disappearance in Europe and a project website. Teachers and students will also participate in the transnational meetings of the partnership.
