arrow2 Transnational Cooperation
 
The agreement of transnational cooperation originates from some peculiar aspects concerning the objectives of the projects involved in the DPs.
 
First of all, the projects of the two involved DPs have been proposed in the field 3E, Adaptability: it is aimed at the promotion of the lifelong learning in order to avoid the phenomena of obsolescence in the labour market and to favour the maintenance of the job of those people who suffer from many discriminations: the project aims at carrying out actions which can influence the systems of lifelong learning of the territories.
 
This agreement is mainly interested in experimenting jointly the actions in the contexts that share common aspects and precise peculiarities. Such common interests are also evident in the structure of the DPs: these are composed of societies skilled in the vocational training, organizations of employers, trade unions and public bodies.
 
The similar objectives of the projects, the structure of the PDs, the possibility of operating in social contexts that have the same characteristics, are peculiar elements of the cooperation that the agreement wants to develop.The problems shared by the two DPs are the following:
 
1. short importance given to the promotion of the Human Resources and to the lifelong learning as a tool to favour the persons who suffer from the discriminations in the labour market
 
2. improvement of the quality standards of the training offer
 
3. lack of an adequate system of certification of the competences
 
4. lack of the training programmes based on the clients´ needs
 
The development of such actions will assure the possibility of updating the knowledge or favour the lifelong retraining of the persons who live in the areas involved in these actions, in order to avoid or limit their spillage from the labour market. The methodology that will characterise the transnational project will be based on a joint development of actions which want to achieve the objectives previously described. The agreement focuses on:
 
1. the exchange or adoption of methodologies which involve the target group
 
2. joint realization of tools which identify the clients´ needs
 
3. parallel development of innovative methodologies and approaches to favour the learning in the organisations ( learning at distance, adoption of the concept of an organisation as a mind and space to promote knowledge and change)
 
4. joint development of tools to evaluate and certify the competences
 
5. joint development of training courses to update and retrain the target group
Such combined experimentations will be subject to actions of horizontal and vertical mainstreaming in the territories of the two partners. A network connecting the enterprises, the public bodies, the unions and the services for employment will be created in order to achieve successful results.
