Abstract: This paper describes the reAct project in which an innovative learning approach is developed and used to re-motivate the disengaged from education and learning to connect to lifelong learning practices. These youngsters constitute a considerable social problem in Europe and the aim of the project is to find ways to recover the intrinsic motivation to learn and thereby improve the opportunities for participation. Essential is the development of an innovative learning strategy in which the learner is in control of the learning process. The paper starts with an introduction on the challenge these dropouts pose to the society at large and the learning strategy developed to cope with this matter. ICT plays a key role in the methodology and links to a virtual environment similar to social networks, which is user-configurable and based on the concept of the Personal Learning Environment (PLE). The main research issues are: can reAct change the attitude, what are the benefits and drawbacks o f this self-organized learning approach and do the ICT tools support these processes. This paper covers the first half of the project and reflects on the first experiences. (More)
