Aversive Discrimination Awareness Training
Description:
ADAT, Aversive Discrimination Awareness Training, final aim is to promote the idea of formal and non-formal adult education really inclusive and accessible to all.
The issue of Aversive Discrimination has not yet been addressed openly and directly in the field of adult education. Nowadays discrimination is not what it used to be in the past, luckily. In almost all sectors the level of awareness of those who work or volunteer or study in adult education excludes any direct discrimination. This fact is also supported by legislation, ethical principles, awareness of rights, etc.
However, in the last twenty years numerous authors and groups have been extensively debating the aversive aspects of discrimination.
ADAT Partners are organisations addressing some type of diversity, and thanks to their work in the respective fields, are conscious of the presence of aversive discrimination in many educational materials used in adult education.
ADAT will analyse how aversive discrimination (in particular aversive disablism, sexism and homophobia), can influence the learning paths of learners and, in general, the organization and provision of adult education.
Aversive discrimination will be addressed in an intersectional perspective. Intersectionality refers to the interaction of two or more forms of discrimination that compound to form multiple discriminations.
A web course to promote the awareness of aversive discrimination and strategies to cope successfully with it will be planned, organized, tested and evaluated in two different settings: teachers working in adult education, in Austria, and professionals giving consultancy in adult training, in Italy.
Once tested, the web course will become part of the education offer of all the partners and will be spread in the Partners international networks.
ADAT activities will be widely disseminated through the Partners’ networks and through numerous localized outputs (course manuals, website, flyers, newsletters) which will be all cross-tested by the partners.
Beyond three partner’s meetings ADAT will organize also two international workshops, and one international final conference, all with simultaneous translation in Italian, German, Bulgarian and Spanish, to diminish any possible discrimination related to language.
A meeting in Brussels will present the project to EU representatives and politicians

Sustainability
What factors have been supporting during your work in the project:
The course developed will become part of the training activities of all the partners. The cost for organising the course will be very limited due to its characteristics, therefore it will be easy to organise it also for small organisations. Each of them will choose if to select part of the course or to use it in total, according to the needs of each group to be trained. Each partner will update the modules it has been responsible for and communicate to the others the updating.
Organising courses (formal or non formal) is part of the core “business” of all the institution involved. The activities will be therefore part of the regular program rather than an occasional event.
They will be part of the routine of the different institutions, acquiring an extreme significant visibility.
