PDMs
All PDMs address two issues:

1. What competencies do adults need to be numerate in the future society? What mathematical knowledge and skills are necessary to become numerate? How to solve numeracy related questions, problems in real-life situations?
2. How to teach numeracy in adult education? What competencies do teachers need for teaching numeracy in adult education? 

This list of modules is a first attempt to systematically work towards improvement of the quality of teaching and better learning outcomes of adults in adult numeracy education.

The ultimate goal is to set up modules for teacher training that are usable for international use in European countries. A common framework can possibly enrich the sharing of practices and discussions on policies.
