Alseeda

The Aleesda, Addressing low self esteem and exclusion in disadvantaged adults, project is supported by the European Lifelong Learning programme (LLP), Grundtvig, and is a Learning Partnerships. The project is funded for 2 years from August 2009 until July 2011.

The aim of the Alseeda project is to develop a programme of intervention aimed at parents in areas of high socio-economic deprivation targeting disadvantaged families in an attempt to prepare for further education, training and work.

In targeting these individuals we want to influence our most disadvantaged young people, about to leave school, who have little or no prospects for employment, are at severe risk of social marginalisation and of becoming ‘not in employment and training’. In targeting families we intend to work with parents, our target group identifiable with the help of agencies and schools, by developing guidance materials, information sessions and role play, in an effort to understand and develop creative actions to engage and motivate the young persons. Our intervention programmes will encourage and empower the adults to be pro-active in encouraging their children and at the same time, the parents themselves, to engage into an adult formal or non-formal education or training programme. The single pronged approach of engagement will have the consequence of targeting parents (adults) to return to education, equip them with the necessary skills to be able to inform their children as well as themselves and to act as role models in areas where they may have previously been ill-equipped.
