We are looking at the local cultural institutions (most of all – libraries) with the aim to create a friendly space fostering the adult education. The materials elaborated within the project will enable librarians and other local cultural educators to conduct the activities raising the competences of adult users. They will also support the development of local cultural institutions as:
- creative incubators,
- social innovation centres,
- intercultural dialogue places.
