Examples of Good Practice

The first workpackage in this project was compiling examples of good practice for educational opportunities in the sense of MobileBE, i.e. unconventional approaches to providing basic education to adults who are facing hardship or restrictions to attend ordinary courses.

Here is a list of what we found as good practice in our vicinity (the respective countries, regions or cities).

This is of course not an exhaustive list of what is being done in the respective countries. The list rather reflects what a) we found would fit the core idea of MobileBE and b) we had access to in the shortage of time (as this is not a full-scale academic project anyway).

[Note: So far we publish here simply the list. Later, more information will be added on these examples of good practice. ]
