PARTNERSHIP CONTENT
1. Please describe briefly the Partnership activities undertaken and the results
achieved so far:
The A.L.I.C.E. partnership combines public local authorities and secondary/ adult schools. The
partnership wants to increase the transversal skills of adult people involved in cultural
events (all types of cultural activities) and consequently in the cultural and touristic promotion of
their territory. In order to develop the participation in these European projects, the partnership
will underline the use of innovative and creative methods to manage cultural activities
then realise a compendium of best practices to promote creativity, professionalism and
entrepreneurial spirit in the culture sector, not only within the partner’s organisations but all
around Europe. The partnership will contribute to the development of the objectives of the
Grundtvig Program: social cohesion, active partnership, intercultural dialogue, sexual parity and
people personal realisation.
We intend to improve the people’s skills in foreign languages and informatics (volunteers,
professional operators, public employees,) involved in the cultural promotion in a broad sense.
The partnership project has been defined to answer the specific needs of our territories, to
improve language and informatics skills and to provide information about European Strategies to
safeguard and promote the European culture.
The partnership intends to exchange experiences acquired by the learners in their own
organisations and projects, events that they manage. A special focus will be made on the
promotion of cultural events. A second objective is to confront the needs of the local authorities
(foreign languages, informatics, innovative and creative approaches and fund raising) together with
the direct experience / practice of schools.
The exchange of experiences, best practices and methods at European level will contribute to
improve the quality and efficiency of the local events organised by the involved people (learner and
staff). The partnership will also collect the best practices and compile various suggestions. This
transversal documentation will be at the disposal of any association involved in event organisation
and adult learning activities thanks to a dedicated web site called: www.grundtvig-alice.eu
The partnership attempts these results by a series of workshops in each Partner Country in order to
individualise the case study: cultural events, musical festivals, historical festivities. The working
group of each partner prepares a presentation in the official language of the partnership using
information and communications technologies.
Then in a series of trans-national meetings (Italy, Romania, Spain and Bulgaria), the participants
present their case study and exchange opinions on how it could be improved. The result of this
work will consist in a compendium of case studies.
The program of trans-national meetings was modified in the first project meeting in Italy 2009 and
it is the following :
November 2009-Italy
April 2010 –Romania
November 2010-Spain
April 2011 –Bulgaria
We had to modify the program of trans-national meetings because 2 of our partners did not get the
financing support for the project from their national agencies. So the third project meeting had to
be in Turkey and it will be in Spain and the fourth project meeting will be in Bulgaria.
So the concrete objectives of the partnership are:
1) individualise innovative methods to arrange cultural events
2) connect people
3) increase transversal skills
In order to achieve this objectives we realised the following activities:
- local workshops
- local cultural events
- mobility

After the meeting in Colonnella we disseminated the results in the frame of the “Regional

Phase 2.2.
Technical College Gheorghe Cartianu together with UAB Geicio Kontrole from Lithuania
prepared the second project meeting .The Partner from Lithuania came to the meeting 4

cultural events and the workshops.

College Gheorghe Cartianu started a learning activity organised by the project

kindergartens finalised with an exhibition of textile-art. At the same time another group
of learners organised by Mr. Munteanu Constantin and the young musician Apetri Andrei
started to prepare a Folk cultural event to be presented in the cultural interchange with
our trans-national guests. The second group of learners was composed by 14 young
dancers. The cultural event took place at the Popular Art Museum from Tarpesti- Neamt.

Visiting the city
Departure.
Our main objective was to connect the adult people involved in a specific sector with colleagues
all around Europe. We realised 2 cultural events, the Textile-art exhibition and the Folk dancing
event by cultural interchange and cooperation with the partners from Belgium, Italy and Spain as
it can be seen in the program above.
Aspects from the 2 cultural events can be seen on the blog ADULT LEARNING IN CULTURAL
EVENT on “Travel pod “. The blog is created by the project coordinator in Romania , prof.
Eleonora Budur to enlarge the impact of the project .
To evaluate the progress of the learners and staff involved in the project we used
evaluation forms that have been filled by the 30 participants to the transnational
workshop. We evaluated the quality and impact of the activities on the adult learners
and staff . These forms aim to compare the starting participation competences/abilities
with their progress. Also they aim to give evidence to their opinions on methods and
subjects.
The evaluation form is presented in annex 3 .
At the end it was agreed on that each partner will familiarize themselves better with
the possibilities from the Project Framework Programme. In the next meetings it will
be discussed what would be the best way to continue our cooperation.
1. We discussed in the meeting about the needs and ideas for the future cooperation in
the education sector:
- adults need learn and experience cultural events in different countries.
- In some cases it is easier for students and teachers to start international action
between neighbours (so called lower step international exchanges).
- The Romanians and the Bulgarians (practical) training education systems have
lots of similarities which make mutual cooperation easier (or Lithuanians and
Latvians, Estonians – Baltic countries).
Dissemining
The project will develop the creative intelligence of the adults through cultural learning
activities. This two years experience at local and international level will increase the
creativity of the participants, the quality of work and of the qualifications.
But also it will contribute to the prestige of the organisations involved in the
partnership.

10. GRUNDTVIG
PARTNERSHIPS
We expect Partnership Activities will interest not only the participants but also their
families, colleagues, friends and the whole territory; that’s why we expect that they will
increase organisations reputation, adult’s interest for knowledge and facilitate access to
education for vulnerable groups (ancient people, emigrants ….).
During the partnership
Results achieved so far :
The partnership activities contributed to improve basic abilities of learners and
developed competence on how to manage local cultural events. In Romania 70 people
from the targeted people following the project and attending the meetings received a
Certificate of participation. This document will be a proof of their experience and
abilities that they can integrate in their curriculum.
In a more concrete way the learners and staff of the project will take advantage of their
new skills and experience. They will also develop personal skills and competences such
as better foreign language knowledge and comprehension, self assessment, better use
of information and communication technologies and finally better social skills and
experience in international working teams.
In order to diffuse and widely spread the results, reports will be published in the official
partnership language and in the mother language of each organisation.
Also other products, such as art exhibitions handicraft, photos, information, ICT based
materials and methods will be published on organisations web sites and diffuse to the
involved organisations and widely spread throughout their newsletter.
2. What problems/obstacles have you met in the implementation of the
Partnership, if any? How have these problems been they solved?
Miss Mariana Anghel , musician and teacher in the Art High School Victor Brauner from
Piatra Neamt that should have participated in the first trans-national meeting of the
project in Collonella as a learner was unable to go because of health issues.
This problem was solved by rearranging the number of mobility, staff and learners
planned for each trans-national meeting.
