General description of the context:
Although a universal right, social inclusion and successful participation to society is a challenge for many citizens. This is the case, when people have to deal with hindering conditions, such as a disability. Especially, when this disability is characterised by cognitive impairments - as is true for people with an intellectual disability or an acquired brain injury - social inclusion is even more challenging. Adaptations of the environment to overcome the impairment to make society more accessible, is one important way to deal with the challenge.
The main objective of TETRA-S is to improve the competences of the adult educators in teaching people with a cognitive disability transversal skills in an efficient and effective way and to enhance the transfer of these skills in the everyday life of the learners. To this end a comprehensive set of training materials and tools were developed to help educators in crafting effective learning environments that promote optimal learner development and ensure the transfer of acquired knowledge and skills into real-life situations. These materials cover various aspects of adult education, such as teaching transversal skills, creating impactful learning environments, integrating skills into daily life for those with cognitive needs, and collaborating with social networks. Stakeholders can gain theoretical and practical knowledge through handbooks, webinars, exercises, case studies, and self-assessment apps, all presented in an accessible MOOC (Massive Online Course) available after this event including the weblink to the online MOOC on the TETRA-S website https://tetras.ensa-network.eu

Draft Agenda of the Final Multiplier Event
The TETRA-S project planned to hold a multiplier event in Brussels shortly before the end of the two-and-a-half-year project to disseminate the results and products as well as to discuss the future use of the TETRA-S training materials and tools in the light of EU values for equality, inclusion and cohesion.
This event thus becomes an opportunity to:
- meet at European level with other organisations working in the field of education and social inclusion, policymakers and officers from the institutions and to disseminate the project results
- exchange views at EU level on social inclusion and skills needed by educators working with persons with cognitive needs
