Among people aged between 25 and 64 years, there are functional illiterates or lowed skilled, who can read and write but who can’t develop a critical thinking and have a hard time understanding simple texts. Moreover, they have difficulties and anxiety about using computer and ICT devices. Overcoming these difficulties can have important repercussions from the social point of view, for the effects of inclusion (or exclusion) that they involve.

The idea is to create a "Laboratory of knowledge" in which each person can freely express their "knowledge" that can be filled with the support of a teacher/mentor and/or colleagues themselves, with a methodology similar to the study circles.

The general objectiveof the project is to identify best practices to improve the digital knowledge of lowed skilled and non-digital natives and to promote the adoption of best practices in the network of partners and stakeholders concerned.

The specific objectives are to:

- Elaborate a White Paper on best practices;

- Create a knowledge laboratory for the application of good practices;

- Disseminate the results of the project on the Internet;

- Disseminate project results to adult education centres.

The project is addressed to direct users who are the trainers, teachers, training institutions, and to the final users who are the lowed skilled people, the non-digital natives and the social partners and enterprises involved in adult education
