BBE-Toolbox

Building Bridges for Europe

The aim of the project is the development of an online toolbox, which will contain a collection of proved and tested methods and projects that foster and support European awareness, critical thinking and helps reducing prejudices.
The toolbox can be used in European education programmes and actions in the context of adult and in particular older adult education. The aim of the toolbox is to improve and extend the supply of high quality learning opportunities tailored to the needs of different target groups and individual learners. The idea behind this approach: to make good projects accessible and adaptable for other interested adult educators. After all, there is no reason to reinvent the wheel.
The project runs from 2017-2019 and is funded by the EU (Erasmus-+).
“Building Bridges for Europe” is conducted by partners of the European umbrella organization “Danube-Networkers for Europe (DANET) e.V.” coordinated by the affiliated institute ILEU (Ulm, Germany). More about DANET click here!
