| EXPERIENCE OF THE ORGANIZATION IN PREVIOUS EUROPEAN PROJECTS |
SHOPLANG – The Shopping Language Game (received European Language Label for 2008) - Aimed at promoting 6 less widely used and taught European languages (BG, GR, MT, LT, NL, SE) through the theme of shopping. The project used the informal environment of supermarkets in order to provoke people’s interest in learning the target languages. Main tool for achieving this goal were language campaigns organised at supermarkets in the partner countries, involving people in entertaining language games and activities based on the language information available in the supermarkets.
• Light Me Up! – Language Lessons for Abroad (received European Language Label for 2010) – Aimed at raising awareness of 5 LWUTL (BG, CZ, GR, NL, LT) in the context of travelling abroad. The partners established a network of 25 travel agencies in the 5 target countries in order to reach the end-users with the project’s main product – language sets for the road. Broad-scale promotional language events were also organised at the Tourism Fairs in the partner countries. • Mission Possible: Chinese for Europeans – Aimed at promoting the benefits of language learning by raising awareness of and bringing the entirely distant Chinese language closer to Europeans. The project target group covers people whose everyday activities include direct or indirect relations with China. Language information in Chinese is being provided through specially developed "associative hieroglyph chains" included in bilingual conversational sets. • SHOPLANG 2.0 – The Shopping Language Game – Continuation of the SHOPLANG project. Four new target languages were added (PL, PT, RO, SL). New activities were added in order to extend the impact range also into other target groups. • ENLL: Never Late to Learn – A network aimed at sharing knowledge and disseminating good practices for learning in later life and intergenerational learning amongst various adult education providers. • ACT! Active & Responsible Citizen = Flourishing Future Society – Aimed at reaching active community members who want, can and have what to say, are ready to take actions on issues they care about and through their activities inspire other members of the local community to act. |
