Sweden 2011 - A Headway Journey.

Greetings to you all. Please enjoy the story of our brilliant journey to Sweden in February 2011. Thank you to our hosts for a wonderful experience and best wishes to all our European partners.

About the Project

CoCreART will explore the concept of 'CoCreation' as a tool for enhancing the participation of disadvantaged adults in Lifelong Learning throughout Europe. The project will explore how this concept is interpreted in the creative working practices of different countries, through visits and practical workshops with disadvantaged groups from partner countries. The project will challenge the preconceptions that surround disadvantaged groups, raise awareness of the contributions they make to the community at local, national and European level. It will also contribute to the acquisition of key competencies for lifelong learning and enhance European co-operation. Partners from UK, Spain, Turkey and Sweden will learn from each other, involve learners at all levels, share ways of working and offer enriched outcomes for disadvantaged learners empowering them to make informed choices about future goals.
