Overall objectives of the inclusive learning resource

Inclusive learning intervention logic: (What are the overall broader objectives to which the action will contribute?) 

The Drop-in project responds to this need by reintroducing young people, who have dropped out of the formal system in informal and non-formal learning. 

Objectively verifiable indicators of achievement: (What are the key indicators related to the overall objectives?) 

Sources and means of verification: (What are the sources of information for these indicators?) 

The main objectives of the DROP-In project are to:

1. Develop and make available a modern, integrated and holistic e-learning and networking platform, tailor-made to the skills, capacities and development needs of young drop-outs and ESLs across Europe.

2. Introduce, pilot and implement new, innovative and effective out-led methodologies for enhancing the basic and traversal skills of the specific disadvantaged group of young drop-outs and ESLs.

3. Target drop-outs/ESLs who are outside the formal structures of society often because of a combination of personal, educational, economic and social circumstances leading to a higher risk of being socio-economically excluded.

4. Enhance the quality and relevance of the learning offered through non-formal education and training by directly linking labor market demands to the needs and wishes of the project’s target groups.

Risks and Challenges:


Specific purpose of the inclusive learning resource

Inclusive learning intervention logic: (What specific objective is the resource intended to achieve to contribute to the overall objectives?) 

The project seeks to establish alternative pathways for Early School Leavers and drop-outs towards social inclusion and labor inclusion, by developing and making available a modern, integrated and holistic e-learning and networking platform, tailor-made to the skills and capacities of young drop-outs and ESLs. In addition, the project aims to introduce, pilot and implement new and innovative youth-led methodologies for enhancing ESLs and young drop-outs’ basic and traversal skills.

Objectively verifiable indicators of achievement: (Which indicators clearly show that the objective of the actions/resource has been achieved?) 

Sources and means of verification: (What are the sources of  information that exist or can be collected? What are the methods required to get this information?) 

Monitoring of the quality and scientific outputs of the project will go through a Youth Advisory Board comprising of diverse young people including drop outs and ESLs. The Group will meet quarterly. The IARS Academic Board will also peer review the scientific outputs of the project such as the final e-book.                                                                                         

The consortium of this project:1) The IARS International Institute, United Kingdom. 2) KMOP Greece, 3) Fundatia Schottener Servicii Sociale, Romania, 4) Centre for the Advancement of Research and Development in Educational Technology, Cyprus and 5) InEuropa Italy

Risks and Challenges: (Which factors and conditions outside the user's responsibility are necessary to achieve that objective? (external conditions)) Which risks should be taken into consideration?  


Expected results on implementation of the resource

Inclusive learning intervention logic: (The results are the outputs envisaged to upscale. What are the expected results?) 

The Drop-in project curriculum will include 9 different modules that are giving skills for personal and professional development.

Objectively verifiable indicators of achievement: (What are the indicators to measure whether and to what extent the action/resource achieves the expected results?) 

Sources and means of verification: (What are the available sources of information for these indicators?) 

Risks and Challenges: (What external conditions must be met to obtain the expected results on schedule?)
