The project seeks to develop and adapt new educational materials in order to attract the most vulnerable back into the education process. The new educational materials will cover popular topics such as art, culture, digital and social media, sports and various hobby activities.
The idea of the project is to adapt the mentioned thematic frameworks to essential educational disciplines in a way that they are simple and accessible to the marginalized target group so that they can become interested and get involved in solving such challenges. The aim of the project is not only to expand the knowledge and general culture of the participants about today's popular topics, but through this everyday topic to increase the competences of the participants in other important educational disciplines, even though they themselves may not even be aware of their newly acquired competences, which in the long run can greatly help them in education and to work.
