    competences

    of inactivity, social exclusion and social
    benefits dependence!

    victims of specific conditions or entire society,
    perceive themselves as powerless.

    work on
  • and enhance basic skills.

  • Empowerment
  • The aim is to empower and connect people to take
    active part

Pro-Skills background philosophy
Life-skills
  • WHO definition abilities for adaptive and
    positive behaviour that enable individuals to
    deal effectively with the demands and challenges
    of everyday life
  • important protective factors to help people not
    to get lost in adversity
  • maintaining self-esteem and self-confidence,
    internal locus of control and a sense of life
    purpose as well as social support from family,
    friends and community
  • may be directed towards personal actions or
    actions towards others, as well as towards
    actions to change the surrounding environment

Pro-Skills background philosophy
Life-skills in Lifelong Learning
Life-skills education is based on studies
conducted on the way human grow and
learning, acquisition of knowledge, attitudes,
skills and behave
  • It is demonstrated that life-skills programmes
    improve learning processes and teaching methods.

6
Pro-Skills background philosophy
life-skills education improves self-efficacy
self-efficacy as self-confidence towards learning
life-long learning process
self-efficacy is not an innate capacity but it
is learnt during life-time, can increase or be
reduced depending on life-events

Pro-Skills background philosophy
  • Empowerment
  • empowerment

8
Pro-Skills background philosophy
  • Life-skills are related to the sense of
    empowerment
  • the process by which people increase control
    over events
  • that influence their lives
  • SELF-EFFICACY
  • Self-regulation
  • Self-efficacy and self-regulation are strictly
    related
  • to the possibility to use ones own competences
    and resources
  • and activate life-skills.
  • On the other hand life-skills are necessary to be
    able
  • to face problems and situations and improve
    self-efficacy.

9
Pro-Skills background philosophy
  • The focus on personal key competences to manage
    life-events also affects the capacity of
    organizations, groups with similar interests and
    community to influence life-environment and
    health behaviour.
  • Pro-Skills interest is also in the change of
    societal structures.
  • Pro-Skills training of basic skills
  • in socially disadvantaged adults
  • aims at promoting an inclusive perspective into
    society.

10
Pro-Skills background philosophy
  • This specific view of society and human beings
    makes Pro-Skills concept based on certain
    ethical, philosophical and pedagogical aspects.
  • These views must be communicated to our
    participants to obtain legitimacy, as a first
    step towards learning.
  • Every human being has the right to decide
  • about his own process of development and learning.

11
Pro-Skills background philosophy
  • These philosophical and ethical principles also
  • guide Pro-Skills methodology and concept of
    Lifelong Learning.
  • This coherence can help a change in learning
    process
  • and societal structures, not only get people
    ready for the market.
  • Our aim with Pro-Skills training is to add value
  • in life and in health.

12
Pro-Skills background philosophy
13
Pro-Skills background philosophy
  • Pro-Skills concept is a piece of work in progress
  • that needs further development and improvement.
  • We are aware that it should be integrated
  • into a wider programme of interventions,
    enhancing stakeholders' involvement and social
    dialogue at different levels
  • between public services (social and health),
  • education and training providers
  • to address the high goal of a more fair and
    healthy society.

14
Pro-Skills background philosophy
  • By testing this training proposal,
  • trainers who want to embrace the Pro-Skills
    concept and philosophy could have the opportunity
    to discuss and reflect
  • upon their role within the complex learning
  • and social needs of this changing world.
