The up-to-date topics and issues that this interesting project affects aim to improve and resolve.
We present to your attention the Bulgarian national report about the results of the DECENT study, to determine the level of functional illiteracy among adults.
The full version of the report could be found here.
On July 3 and 4, 2018, the third meeting of the DECENT project took place in the office of Znam and Moga LLC. The project enters an intellectual products development phase, based on the research conducted in partner countries, with a questionnaire filled in by the representatives of the main target group - long-term unemployed adults or those who can not find a permanent job. One of the objectives of the study was to identify problems that are oftenly even not by participants themselves, but may be the cause of their unflattering position on the labor market.
On February 20th and 21st 2018, the second DECENT project partner meeting was held in Rzeszow, Poland.
The project:
