The project
Text it Easy is a European project. This project is co-funded by Erasmus+.
Text it Easy aims to use plain language. Plain language uses simple words and short sentences. This helps everyone to understand easily.
Text it Easy wants to make information and communication accessible to everyone. This helps people to participate more fully in society.
Text it Easy wants to raise awareness of plain language in training centres, workplace and schools. Education and training are important for learning and developing in the workplace.
Text it Easy offers free resources for learning clear language. The project also uses artificial intelligence tools to help teachers, trainers and professionals write in plain language.
Text it Easy encourages the use of plain language to make training and work more inclusive.
Context
There are ways of reducing inequalities in relation to the written word. Clear language is an international standard that makes it easier to understand written information on paper and in digital form.
Goals
Text it Easy aims to :
- disseminate plain language in all professional sectors, first and foremost vocational training;
- improve access to information and communication for all citizens;
- promote their inclusion and involvement in society at all levels.
Target groups
The Text it Easy project is aimed at VET trainers and organisations, companies and institutions in the partners’ sectors and professional networks (training, education, culture, publishing, accessibility, paramedicine, access to rights, etc.) as well as learners, professionals and future professionals.
