TITLE: Joint Methodologies to Empower Humanities Education
KA104 – Adult education staff mobility
As EVENTURES KOIN has already reached a high level expertise in social entrepreneurship in the frame of the business sector, board members after an internal debriefing decided it was time to bring the enterprise to another level. Due to the previous experiences matured in the cooperation with IASIS and the predisposition of the members to work with the Adult target, board members agreed to develop a pure social/educational branch focused on disadvantaged young Adults. Supported in the analysis of the wide target of disadvantaged Adults by the veteran IASIS, EVENTURES KOIN board members decided in full agreement to focus young Adult affected by Dyslexia who were forced in early school leave in order to fester a reintegration process in the educational system. Dyslexia is a learning disorder that can cause many difficulties, including problems with reading and writing. People with dyslexia have trouble matching the letters they read to the sounds those letters make. Dyslexia is typically diagnosed in childhood; so, many dyslexia guides focus on helping children manage symptoms of this condition. But dyslexia often continues into adulthood. Some children with dyslexia are not diagnosed until they reach adulthood, while some diagnosed adults find that their symptoms change as they age.
JMEHE aims at developing competences and organizational capacities of educators with the specific target audience of young adult learners facing dislexia
