Work Package 4 transformed the theoretical content developed in WP3 into practical learning materials for librarians and adult library users.
The key librarians, supported by the university partners and library-related organisations, adapted the theoretical modules into practical tasks. The aim was to make the learning content more applicable in real library settings and easier to use with different groups of adult learners.
The practical modules followed the four main thematic areas of the project: Information Literacy, Media Literacy, Disinformation and Fake News, and Gamification in Libraries. The tasks were designed to support active learning, critical thinking, information evaluation and the recognition of misleading or unreliable content.
The materials were developed first in English and then translated into the languages of the partnership. This made the content suitable for use in national contexts and during local training activities in the partner countries. The use of national languages was especially important for reaching adult library users and supporting meaningful participation at local level.
Local trainings were organised in the selected training centres. These activities allowed the partners to test the practical modules with librarians and adult library users, collect feedback and improve the materials. Through this work package, the project turned theoretical knowledge into practical educational tools that libraries can continue to use in their work with citizens and local communities.
