Empowering Marginalized Adults through E.S.S.E.N.C.E.: A Comprehensive Educational Manual
Created under the Erasmus+ KA210 project, Italy (coordinator), France (Martinique), Greece, and Portugal (Madeira) collaborated to produce “The E.S.S.E.N.C.E. Manual.” This Manual focuses on equipping socio-economically disadvantaged elderly, women survivors of violence, and migrants/refugees with essential skills for a sustainable future. This collaborative effort by European partners aims to enhance educational methods for adult learners by sharing effective practices.
The Handbook is available:

- Tailored for each target group, this module emphasizes understanding legal and social services, active participation in democratic processes, and fostering social inclusion.
- Active Participation
- Encourages involvement in community life, helping marginalized groups build networks, improve language skills, and integrate effectively.
Methodologies and Challenges:
The handbook outlines methodologies such as blended learning, hands-on activities, and peer-to-peer support. It also addresses challenges like language barriers, cultural differences, and trauma, offering solutions to create a supportive and inclusive learning environment.
Impact and Goals:
By developing green skills, citizenship, and active participation, the ESSENCE Handbook aims to improve personal and professional lives, promote sustainable practices, and enhance the capabilities of adult educators.
For educators, this handbook provides a valuable resource to adapt and implement these modules effectively, ensuring that marginalized adults not only improve their skills but also contribute positively to their communities.
