The main aim of the proposal is:

SMAT (Social Media & Adult Training) utilises exchange visits and forums to discuss the use of social media in adult education.  Know and Can Association is one of eight European partners in this project. The other partners are from Germany, Spain, Poland, Great-Britain, Turkey, Finland and Romania

Although EU reports show an increase in the use of the internet and social media in general, there are not many examples of successfully implemented methods for training courses based on social media. This partnership is sharing its knowledge in this area.

“Developing Expertise and Skills” (DESK) is a project to send / host six volunteers between two established community-based organisations. Dacorum CVS in Herts, UK, and Know and Can Association in Sofia, Bulgaria are active in supporting individuals to improve their confidence and quality of life through training and learning opportunities.
