KNOW-HUBs

Objective
The project further develops and tests the concept "3M: Motor, Mediator and Meeting place" as a method of making adult education centres into knowledge and innovation centres in rural areas.

From the 3M perspective, such knowledge centres function as both a safe meeting place for young adults, as a mediator between different users' needs (young adults, teachers, employers) and as a motor for generating innovative approaches and ideas.

The project aims to examine how knowledge centres can help address and understand local needs and requirements in rural areas by combining the 3M approach with user-oriented design thinking techniques.

The project will train mentors to promote engagement and participation of marginalised groups (e.g. young adults with low levels of educational attainment and refugees/immigrants) and to bridge the gap between knowledge and skills.
