\n\tTaking into consideration the increasing number of illiterates in the European Union during the last years, the projects aimed at developing innovative educational methods for adult illiterates. Adjusted to their learning needs and not necessarily to their knowledge of writing and reading, the project focused on the development of alternative educational methods.
\n\tIn many EU countries, such as Romania where 9-11% of the population is characterized illiterate and in Greece where the same percentage reaches 5%, people with illiteracy, and especially elderly, are not interested in learning to write and read and therefore they live cut off from the world.
\n\tAs part of its objectives, Alpha-Beta aimed to help instructors to develop and implement new teaching methods based on communication which does not require knowledge of writing and reading. Accomplishing this goal, the project helps illiterates not only to acquire knowledge and qualifications but also to reinforce their self esteem and participate in a better way in political, social and economic processes.
\n\tSome of the modules that were taught as part of the project were relevant to smoking cessation, health living, number and word learning, sexual education, emergencies, family and school, cooking, shopping and substance misuse.<\/p>\n
