Today I would like to introduce you to another project:
CUMILA - Curriculum for Media Literacy in Adult Education
In addition to content such as communication and collaboration tools, data security and the like, one chapter of the project also deals with the subject of e-democracy, e-participation and e-voting.
The topic of e-participation in particular is an excellent source for the My language, your language project to take up ideas for teaching.
A wiki was created in the CUMILA project and all exercises can be easily downloaded.
Just have a look under: wiki.cumila.eu
and visit our Facebook-page: https://www.facebook.com/Cumila.eu/?ref=pages_you_manage

CUMILA is a curriculum for adults and especially for parents with focus on the requisite knowledge and competences to reach digital maturity. The project is co-funded by the ERASMUS+ Programme of the European Union

In particular, it is not always easy to involve isolated and precarious people.

What do educators have good experiences with?

👉 Establishing contacts through social centers, care centers,
etc. Through communication campaigns
over networks
👉 in city centers, through public events, etc.
👉 Involvement of citizens in co-creation processes, such as
participatory democracy processes, multi-stakeholder
dialogues, etc.

The project "My language-your language" deals with success factors for good citizen participation. The aim is to look at good methods and practices in the context of civic participation at the international level, to receive further training and to learn skills on how target group-oriented participation can succeed on the ground.
The scientific discourse on civic participation and its methods is extensive and controversial. Both science and practice have stated that educationally and disadvantaged groups of the population are excluded and socially disadvantaged be excluded. In addition, practical experience shows that municipal calls for participation are generic and not tailored to the target groups to be reached, and that existing networking structures are also ignored.
With the project "My Language - Your Language - Success Factors for Good Civic Participation" the applicants want to examine the described gap of lacking target group oriented access in accordance with the priorities "Social Inclusion" and "Common Values, Civil Society Engagement and Participation" and work on the following questions in transnational partnership.
The focus will be on networking local organisations and authorities and their integrated cooperation.
Looking at the categories and typologies of civic participation procedures, the Spectrum of future workshops on activation and initiation of planning processes until the idea dialogue. Citizen participation can be structured as a dialogue or can be informative
The depth and breadth of participation are also taken into account.
Completely unnoticed in the discussion about citizen participation are the target group-specific way of addressing (culturally sensitive language style, language style, pictograms,...) and the type of access selection (analogue, digital, flyer, channel, advertising, TV,...) and the question to what extent the life situation and living environment of the group to be involved in the process of information and participation.
