DLC – Directing Life Change

Lebens- und Karrierebrüche bei Menschen mit 40+. Veränderung als Chance.

Immer mehr Menschen erleben im Laufe ihres Lebens Brüche in ihren Karrieren. Laut EU-Prognose ist in Zukunft damit zu rechnen, dass Berufstätige im Durchschnitt 3-4 Mal eine Veränderung in ihrer Berufsplanung erleben werden müssen. Diese Brüche werden sehr oft als Bedrohung angesehen. Deshalb ist es wichtig, Menschen ausreichende Kompetenzen zu vermitteln, um mit diesen Lebens- und Berufsveränderungen umgehen zu können. Veränderungen sollen nicht als Bedrohung wahrgenommen werden, sondern als Chance. Es soll ein Paradigmawechsel stattfinden: von einem negativen Blick auf die Zukunft, in Richtung Offenheit durch Reflexion.

Im Projekt arbeiten acht Institutionen aus ganz Europa zusammen: von Großbritannien bis Israel, von Finnland bis Katalonien-Spanien. Österreich ist durch den Verein „Die Kärntner Volkshochschulen“ vertreten.

Die zwei Hauptziele des Projektes sind: einerseits ein Handbuch und andererseits zwei Lehrgänge für TrainerInnen zu entwickeln und anzubieten, welche mit Personen arbeiten, die Brüche in ihrem Leben bzw. Beruf erlebt haben.

Ziele:

1. Alternative Lernzugänge für Erwachsene (40+) anzubieten, die von einem Bruch in ihrer Karriere betroffen sind. Durchführung von zwei Lehrgängen für TrainerInnen:

  • Betroffene sollen aktiviert werden, weiterhin „Kontrolle“ über ihr zukünftiges Berufsleben zu behalten. Ihnen soll bewusst gemacht werden, dass sie selbst etwas tun müssen, um ihre Existenz langfristig abzusichern.
    „Ich muss etwas für mich selbst tun.“
  • Betroffenen soll das Konzept des „aktiven, teilnehmenden Bürgers“ bewusst gemacht werden.
    „Ich kann etwas zurück geben.“
  • Betroffenen sollen ihre Kompetenzen und persönlichen Fähigkeiten bewusst gemacht werden.
    „Ich habe bis jetzt nicht gewusst, dass ich das kann.“
  • Betroffene ermutigen, eine Wahl zu treffen, anhand ihrer Kompetenzen und Ziele.
    „Ich weiß jetzt was ich tun möchte.“


2. International anwendbare Methoden zu entwickeln, die in einem Handbuch dargestellt werden:

  • Gründung von „Ideen-Teams“ in jedem Partnerland.
  • Internationaler Austausch von Wissen zwischen Erwachsenenbildungseinrichtungen.
  • Gemeinsame Entwicklung eines Handbuches „Pointing in your Direction – Die Richtung zeigen“. Dieses Handbuch soll eine persönliche und berufliche Anleitung für TrainerInnen sein, um mit Betroffene eigene Initiativen zu finden. Die Betroffenen sollen lernen, dass eine Veränderung in ihrem Leben, mit einer Reihe von Dingen zusammenhängt und diese müssen miteinbezogen werden. Betroffene sollen lernen, nicht nur Angebote zu nutzen, sondern die Richtung selbst vorzugeben.
