The adult learners will increase their basic math skills and by means of activities as problem-solving, maths-crosswords, logic games, they will also develop this capacity becoming more flexible individuals, easily adaptable to different environments and situations.

3) Improving the quality of European adult educational systems by reinforcing cooperation among partners’ organisations.

The teachers will meet, organize conferences or seminars to compare the different types of educational systems and to exchange good practices, information and experiences.

The learners will express their creativity in different forms (photos, paint, write) and will discover also the creative aspect of maths, considered as an unimaginative subject. Since, maths courses will be integrated with various activities (work-shops on geometrical shapes, drawing on the numbers).
