“RE-START EUROPE: Adult Learning Labs for Life Transitions in the Digital & Green Age” is an Erasmus+ Small-scale Partnership in adult education that aims to support adults undergoing professional transitions, such as job changes, periods of unemployment, migration or adaptation to new digital realities. Through co-creation labs, short and practical training modules and a transnational training week, educators and adult learners will develop and test tools to strengthen functional digital skills, update their competences and regain confidence to access employment. The project promotes non-formal, inclusive and easily transferable learning, while strengthening cooperation among adult-education organisations in Spain, Italy and Estonia. Through local and transnational activities, RE-START EUROPE aims to create open and replicable tools, particularly useful for small centres and organisations with limited resources.
