The training was mainly focused to assist educators with the speciality of knowing what are the basic digital tools and various ideas of how to support learners through a non formal education based activities to reach out to the educators and facilitate the progress to make the ideas more settled in their practice and to work collaboratively with others on sharing the good practices they know about the different tools and internet safety.

NGO Nest and the consortium of the project are constantly working with adults and education in the sense of delivering a constant support in the fields that requires interaction with youth and young adults, so it fitted their scope of ideas and work dealing with youth and adults in the same time.
The participants were from three countries:

Adult learners were the final beneficiaries of the up-skilling of adult educators as they will be provided with better educational programmes, optimal teaching staff and last but not least, they were supported in building their professional identity, which is a fundamental step in the process of transition from education to entering the labour market.
