    << Objectives >>The project aims to empower youth to be visible and heard, through digital tools and narrative techniques like podcasting, not only locally or nationally, but also globally. To empower underrepresented groups and develop connections among youth from varied backgrounds, the project's reasoning is based on the need for young people to feel a sense of community and belonging, allowing deeper integration and reducing stigma associated with the latter.<< Implementation >>The project’s activities include feasible actions that the partners have already executed in the past in the framework of other projects. This ensures the know-hοw for the successful implementation of all the activities, as the right skills and expertise are available within the organisations’ human resources. The project consists of seven activities, including Preparatory MeetingCapacity Building for EUPodcast TrainingPhysical eventsCommunication kitReport<< Results >>OutcomesA common methodology - theoretical framework of people with fewer opportunities10 trained youth workers150 youth trained on EU opportunities120 youth receive training on Podcasts development6 podcast episodes150 participants attend the physical eventsAt least 60% of the beneficiaries are women (72/120)30 young women are trained in gender equality and the promotion of women in tech as well as in key digital skills.20 professionals trainers from the organisations take part in a t

    "The ImMusic - Impulsive Music Activities to Promote Intercultural Relations project proposes a new type of activities within youth communities. The special musical sessions offer joyful and playful hours for youngsters and through the transfer influence of music improve their skills and competences. The competences which can be improved through music activities are as follows: social cooperation, inclusion, concentration, creativity, coordination etc. The initiative came from previous music trainings and experiences of the project coordinator (Hangkeltő Alapítvány), the concept formed during the discussions with the partner experts of youth workers (Tudatos Ifjúságért Alapítvány). After the concept was formed by the two Hungarian partners we were looking for similar organizations, who can add more values to the project. In the ImMusic project we have the chance to cooperate with World Music School Helsinki (Finland) which use innovative methods in music teaching, Coyote Initiatives CIC (Findhorn, United Kingdom) which has practice to organize international mobilities under Erasmus+ and ""Microkosmos"" Associazione Culturale Italo-Ellenica per la Formazione (Turin, Italy) which has double language and intercultural experiences. All participating organizations will offer their competences, abilities and experiences concerning the objectives of the project. The main objectives of the project are the following: to improve impulsive and innovative music activities for young people to improve their skills and competences, to initiate an international and inter-professional discussion among musicians and youth workers about the possibilities of the role of music in youth communities and inclusion, to offer interactive music programmes for youth clubs, communities to get familiar with different music activities and to use music as a universal language for strengthening intercultural experiences. The target groups of the project are the young people who spend their free-time in local community spaces, clubs or youth houses, as well as representatives of youth communities, NGOs dealing with youth activities, who are ready to enrich their skills in organizing and managing musical activities for young people. As an expected result, the project will increases awareness of using music as means of communication and training in youth work in a transnational context, and develop intercultural competences for young people. With close cooperation between the partners we create detailed innovative activity programmes for youth communities including materials and timetables. The programme sheets attached them will show all the steps the animator uses and include at least one-hour program for listening and creating music individually and in a group. The innovative character of the outputs is their usability without any musical background of the youth worker and the target group (youth community) and gives opportunities for transferable development of skills like cooperation, expression and inclusion. The musicians and youth experts of the participating organizations will elaborate the vocal-based and instrument-based toolkits (vocal exercises, games, instruments, videos, recordings, activity sheets, tutorial sheets, training plans etc.), and youth workers will add information about the expectations, applicable methods, youth groups, and they will organize the activities using the actual toolkit among youngsters. The toolkits will be available in English and the languages of the partner organizations. The three days long ImMusic training program aims to present the toolkits elaborated by the project team and make the participants capable to use them within their own group of youth communities. During the training, participants have the opportunity to try themselves in different musical activities. At the end of the project the products elaborated by the experts will be published at different platforms as the result and the professional outcome of the project. The publications and presentations will include extracts from the articles published in the toolkits, as well as photos and videos made in youth communities using the tools, games, sounds, exercises, scores, activity sheets etc.We intend to use the ERASMUS+ Project Result Platform for implementation and follow-up of our project to give up-to-date information concerning the common work and the results achieved. We also hope that this project will be the first step in cooperation, and that we will continue working on more musical activities for the benefit of young people. The training programme can be developed for a special course for teachers and announced at the School Education Gateway platform as well. Partner organizations may announce study visits for youth workers according to the project instructions under ERASMUS+."

    << Objectives >>Teachers recognise the need to move forward in what new methodologies concern. Schools lockdown due to the pandemic made this need even more urgent. With the DEEP Learning project we intend to help teachers in the use of new ways of engaging students, sharing good practices, vodcasts with guidance to use them and provide them with an unique learning experience, through the design of a MOOC.<< Implementation >>The main activities that are going to be implemented are: Collection of 10 good practices in English, in all countries’ involved Translation of the good practices in all partners’ languagesCreation of vodcasts in English, to guide the exploration of the good practices collectedAdaptation of the vodcasts to each partner languageCreation of a MOOC with the materials produced under the projectCreation of the visual identity of the projectCreation of a green label Dissemination activities.<< Results >>The main results are: 1) A research Handbook for teachers. This handbook will gather a collection of 10 good practices about active methodologies and their translation in all participants' language.2) Vodcasts. There will be developed vodcasts, in English and in all partners’ languages, that will be guidelines on how to implement the good practices compiled. 3) MOOC. A course will be developed for teachers, using the good practices and the vodcasts created.

    << Background >>The 2021-2027 program gives high priority to people with the fewest opportunities. Young adults with the fewest opportunities and job seekers are particularly targeted by training mobility opportunities. In 2019, NEETs (Neither in Employment, nor in Education or Training) represented more than 12.5% of 15-29 year olds in the EU, and the percentage of NEETs among 24-29 year olds is even higher (source INSEE). Some countries, including Italy, Bulgaria, Spain, France (and further more Reunion Island) are particularly affected by this rate of young adults without a stable situation or solution. Long-term unemployment is an aggravating factor: ranging from 30% in Cyprus to 57% in Italy (source OCDE 2019).The Erasmus + program is a vector of integration for this audience. Mobility through internship in companies improves the employability of these adults and their entry or return to the labor market. However, the involvement of local companies, the link between the results of mobility and the labor market or entrepreneurship are still mild. With regards to the Erasmus + projects which target this public seeking employment through NEET, the rest of the integration pathways remains insufficiently supported. With this TRIED and TRUE project, we wish to create an opportunity for cooperation between several European organizations in order to exchange good practices in terms of post-Erasmus monitoring and support (and or other international mobility) for the jobseeker public (NEET adults and long-term unemployed). The project brings together 6 countries : 5 EU Bulgaria, Spain, Italy, Cyprus, Reunion Island (France) et 1 partner country, Northern Ireland (UK).The general objective is to improve the capacity of the organizations involved or responsible of Erasmus + mobility in terms of support. We would like to allow them to create a series of post-Erasmus + (or any International mobility) actions or non-formal training for this audience. Also, we would start a dynamic to develop these ideas or initiatives with the learners directly, to involve them in these follow-up activities and to develop their participation in the local community.<< Objectives >>The specific objectives are to: 1-Develop the capacity of educators, trainers, integration advisers in the six partner countries by exchanging good practices through the promotion of skills acquired in mobility, with the involvement of companies in mobility and through their support for the public after their Erasmus + experience, or any else international experience.2-Reinforce the skills, training and mentoring competences of adult educators, trainers, social counsellors and tutors to boost vocational and social inclusion of their public, by developing a Guide of Good Practices.3-Improve adult learners access to the labor market by enhancing and capitalizing on their new soft, vocational, intercultural, language skills, acquired during their mobility. By meeting others learners and organizations who are involved in the field of mentoring NEET and jobseekers. 4-Raise awareness of the labour market, the companies involved, international experience, the benefits and to promote the Erasmus+ programme to the business world.5-Create a network of professionals in the field of formal and non-formal education who work with this target group and/or on Erasmus + mobility.These objectives match with the priorities published by the 2021 Program Guide with, the priority to promote an even more inclusive Erasmus +.<< Implementation >>In order to achieve the set objectives and result, we plan the following activities:Activity 1 - Project Management: This activity guarantees the smooth project implementation and will directly lead to achievement of set objectives and results, and especially to Strategic Objective, Short-term Result, and Long-term Result. To ensure it, several management bodies will be involved – Project Manager, Local Project, Coordinators, Steering Committee, Quality Manager, Communication Designer and Dissemination Coordinator. All partners will be involved and the leading role will be with ICI & AILLEURS;Activity 2 – Organisation of 4 LTTAs for exchange of good practices. The organised LTTAs will be as follows:* 1st LTTA: Topics: Virtual Erasmus+ Community ; Partner: ICI & AILLEURS; Skills valorization by the ECVET Credits ; Partner : Foyle International ; Place: Reunion Island/France; Period: November 2021 ; Duration : 4 days* 2nd LTTA: Topic: Seminar on how to create a professional CV and ePortfolio and Europass ; – Partners : Microkosmos ; Recruitment process and skills recognition by companies ; Parner : Eurosuccess Place: Italy ; Period: April 2021 ; Duration 4 days* 3rd LTTA: Topic: ICT and open Educational resources in Education, Training and Erasmus+ and European values ; Partner: DOMSPAIN ; Place : Spain ; Period: September 2022 ; Duration : 3 days.* 4th LTTA: Topic: Boosting Art Entrepreneurship and Human resources after pandemic ; Partner: EUROPEAN DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION ; Place : Bulgaria ; Period: March 2023 ; Duration 3 days. Each LTTA will include a 3 or 4-day training and 2 days for travel. 4 participants from each country will take part in the training – 2 representatives of the partner organisation and 2 – representatives of adult learners. Each partner will be responsible for selection and recruitment of their participants, according to preliminary agreed criteria, described in the LTTA section of the Application Form.Activity 3 - Development of a Best Practice Guide: . All shared mentoring practices will be collected, and a Best Practice Guide will be developed. EDF will prepare a common template how practices will be described and a general layout of the Guide. Each partner will be responsible for describing their practice, following the common template. EDF will compile the practices into the Guide. The Guide will be developed in English, will be translated in all partner languages and will be uploaded on the project website. It will be used in follow-up and exploitation activities. All partners will be involved in description of their practice and in translation of the Guide in their language.Activity 4 – Dissemination, communication and organisation of local dissemination events: At the beginning of the project, a Project Dissemination Plan will be developed by the Dissemination Coordinator and a Strategy how target groups will be continuously involved throughout the project . Social media accounts and project website will be created. Different channels, including partners' websites, social media, events of other organisations, creation of a newsletter, etc will be used. Local dissemination events in each partner country will be organised to present the developed Best Practice Guide and the shared practices, and to lay the foundations of the network of professionals in the field of formal, non-formal and informal education, who are familiar with or interested in improving the exploitation and the valorization of the Erasmus+ new skills (or any international mobility). All partners will be involved in the dissemination activities at an in-country.<< Results >>In this project, we expect the following results : Short-term results, which will be achieved during the project : 1-Six practices about the valorization activities and follow-up activities after an Erasmus+ pathway2-Six LTTAs will be organised by all partners 3-Twelve (minimum) internal educators, counselors, trainers, tutors will enrich their competences in the field of mentoring after an international mobility4-Forty eight adult learners will be involved in the LTTA to improve their own capacity to manage their post-Erasmus+5-A Best Practice Guide, summarizing the exchanged practices, will be developed.6-Six Local dissemination events will be organised to present the Guide and the exchanged good practices to stakeholders, educators, trainers, tutors who work with job seekers or young adults.7-Four Transnational Project Meetings will be organised and conducted.Long-term results, which we expect after the completion of the project :1-Capacity of the partner organisations in the field of project management will be increased2-Training and mentoring competences of all LTTAs participants will be increased3-Best practices will be disseminated among the project countries 4-A network of professionals in the field of formal, non-formal and informal education will be created5-Innovative ideas will emerge to build upon in the next step as a post-Erasmus pathway, including specific curricula to accompany the public in their social and vocational inclusion and to promote the ErasmusPro benefits.
