Socio-Cultural and Psychological Support for Single Moms
Welcome to the official webpage of myJUMP's participation in the Erasmus+ project "5Star Single MomS." This project focuses on empowering adult educators to support single mothers through innovative educational approaches. By blending social, psychological, and technological tools, the project aims to address the unique challenges faced by single moms in modern society.
Project Overview:
The 5Star Single MomS project is a collaborative initiative involving partners from Slovakia, Greece, Germany, and Turkey. It is designed to train adult educators in creating educational and psychological modules specifically targeted at helping single mothers. This training helps educators better equip single moms to navigate major life stressors, such as divorce and social isolation, using both socio-cultural and digital resources.
Objectives:
- Equip adult educators with the tools to support single moms using psychological and technological approaches.
- Develop educational modules that blend cognitive and socio-cultural support methods.
- Address the emotional and social needs of single moms through innovative therapy tools.
- Promote the development of digital competencies in adult education related to psychological support.
Key Project Activities:
- Workshops for Educators:
- myJUMP.sk will host a transnational workshop in Bratislava from October 15–17, 2024, bringing together 18 adult educators. These workshops will focus on creating blended therapy modules for single mothers, synthesizing insights from previous activities.
- Non-formal Learning Approach:
- All workshops will use interactive and non-formal learning methods to foster practical skills in educators. Topics include:
- Day 1: Analysis of socio-cultural and technological tools for therapy.
