EMMA

For years, the magnitude of the mental health problems has been overshadowed by other public health matters. Every year over one in four European adults are affected by mental health problems. Annually, mental illnesses lead to 58 000 suicides in Europe. 

The proportion of people who had depressive disorders was higher for women than for men in each of the EU Member States. In Spain 12% of people aged 45 and over report chronic depression in Poland it is 6% and in UK 11% (EUROSTAT data). 

EU governments keep allocating resources to counteract this problem, and we, as a Partnership (ELN, AWA and Permacultura Cantabria), decided to contribute as well, Mental health problems need to be tackled at their very core.

APPROACH

The APPROACH project combines the efforts of 4 partners, representing different regions of Europe – Western (UK and Netherlands), Central (Austria) and Eastern (Bulgaria). 

The starting point of our joint effort is supporting adult trainers in the delivery of training to adults in risk. By providing adult trainers with a comprehensive manual in diversity leadership and a professional resilience building online tool , we aim at increasing the quality of training provided to disadvantaged adults, so that they can successfully find employment opportunities and stay employed for a longer period.

EUCERT

The project aims to enhance quality in adult education and helps to ensure that adult education providers are able to find high quality adult education results which can be used in practice and which becomes base for excellent adult education projects.

The project consortium is going to develop a mechanism to monitor the effectiveness of adult education project via an accreditation system which is based on clear criteria and a solid accreditation procedure.
