<< Objectives >>The project S.O.S.: Social Opportunities of Sustainability aims at exchanging good practices among 4 different EU organisations in order to create local forward-looking learning centres finalised at enhancing social inclusion of fragile adults – people in detention, people in addiction, women with migratory backgrounds and subjects in disadvantaged economic conditions - through their participation in processes of community education on sustainability and on preservation of the environment.<< Implementation >>The main activities will be: the implementation of a virtual peer learning collaborative space to collect good practices, n. 3 transnational workshops – in Tenerife, in Ireland and in Italy – focusing on three different aspects of sustainable development, namely sustainable tourism, mobility and eating; Pilot local learning activities aimed at the enhancement of users’ key and green skills; Community development through the construction of Local Learning Open Spaces.<< Results >>The main results will be: toolbox published in a web collaborative space, training materials in each partner’s language and mini-tutorials on sustainable practices in the field of tourism, mobility and eating ; Local Learning Open Spaces for sustainable cities and communities established in each country. Learning outcomes: green skills by the three target groups; increased competences in the field of social inclusion; improvement of digital and linguistic competences.

Cultural and creative sectors (CCS) are all sectors whose activities are based on cultural values and/or artistic and other creative expressions which include architecture, archives, libraries and museums, artistic crafts, audiovisual (including film, television, video games ,product design, fashion and multimedia), tangible and intangible cultural heritage, design, festivals, music, literature, performing arts, publishing, radio and visual arts. Undoubtedly the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) play an important role not only for the European economy but also as part of a wider cultural and historical understanding of the European development. The creative industries frequently require a combination of highly specialized knowledge combined with transferable, generic skills. The demand for skilled creative workers is strong and rapidly evolving, both in cultural and creative sectors and other sectors of the economy. And there is a big challenge is related to the mismatch between the skills needed by employers and self-employed creatives and the skills provided by education and training providersProject that aims to create a sustainable and efficient education program for low skilled adult learners involved in the creative industries and it addresses a gap in cultural and creative industries where there is low emphasis on the use of new digital technologies, creating and design skills, marketing skills and support skills. In our Project we mainly focus on the skills of cultural industries (film making, multimedia, book press publishing),skills of creative industries and activities such as fashion, graphic, social media and product design; and advertising; and ICT.The target group of the Project;- unemployed/newly graduated adults- unemployed adults who lost their jobs in covid-19 pandemic situation- low skilled adults in creative industries- freelance creative workersThe objectives of the Project;- Develop skills and competences of adults who aim to improve their chances of employment or performing better in their current employment for future working and employability,- Strengthen local, national and international collaboration and innovation in arts, cultural and creative learning- To improve the achievement and recognition of creative skills through by e-assessment for adult education- To enhance collaboration between education providers, universities, cultural organisations, SMEs in creative sector, civil society SMEs in creative sector, civil society organizations, creative workers and volunteers- To design, develop and deliver a Creative Skillset MOOC to give the adults opportunity of having distance learning especially Covid-19 pandemic situation- To provide added value in employability and local development through supporting the creative economyIn short term results;it will mainly adress the skills needs of Cultural-creative sectors and develop the training models,In long term results;it will maximize the impact of cultural and creative industries in local development and employment.The creative economy relies on creative talent as the primary source of value. The demand for skilled creative workers is strong and rapidly evolving, both in cultural and creative sectors and other sectors of the economy. Our project will also provide training and development activity to offer a solution to skills gaps or recruitment difficulties and to reap these job creation benefits.The adults/unemployed adults/creative workser will have opportunity to gain skills and competences in creative sectors,to be employed or develop their works.Although the ones who stayed at home during the covid19 pandemic ,will have chance to have training,develop their creativity and have experience in creative works. The project will produce tangible and intangible results to contribute develop creative skills in recovering unemployment.

In our organizations we must take into account that:- Many young adults are not involved in their career path.- The classic indicator of return to work to evaluate the efficiency of our actions is incomplete and does not take into account the richness of a social and professional coachingprocess.- Almost all users of the territories of the participating organizations are located in disadvantaged cities, neighborhoods or rural areas.All these challenges are directly linked to each other. Our approach is to allocate dedicated time to each one (learn to live better with less) to allow contacts and exchanges to thrive.We are convinced that our role should be based less on learning and, instead, move towards mediation and activities so that groups can eventually come together, so that the idea of moving forward and progressing becomes a local and concrete reality. To successfully achieve our goals, we must start from the needs and skills of the people involved. It is important that, in this context, we share our practices, experience them in another context and evaluate them.Many European programs have already allowed exchanges of practices between organizations that help young people and migrants. But all these projects focused on a classic approach to language teaching and learning, institutional knowledge, job search, etc. Our approach is totally different since it consists in the project stakeholders exchanging and developing animation and mediation practices, which allow disadvantaged people to find in themselves (following a process of social constructivism) methods, techniques and tools to live better Together with few means. It is not an approach that tends to insert young people or people at risk of social exclusion, but one aimed at developing exchanges and allowing everyone to improve by repairing, gardening, building, using digital tools, etc.
