<< Objectives >>The project has three purposes: educate and foster the concept of sustainability as a new European value, evaluating it from a digital and green perspectives and analysing its potentials and threats; gather young people’s ideas on such issues, in order to understand how new generations will impact European future, and finally bring those ideas to policymakers at national and European level, to let them understand how to better shape Europe for the next generation.<< Implementation >>In order to reach these objectives, CSI and its partners will organise a series of 7 Trainings both online and offline addressing to young citizens and university students from all social and economic backgrounds. Throughout the project, participants will reflect and debate their own idea on Sustainability to address the challenges of Europe’s future. In each training, ideas, data and reflections of participants will be collected to draft a Policy paper addressed to policymakers.<< Results >>The main result the project expects to have is firstly to strengthen the knowledge of young people on the new digital and green challenges, such as: the fair use of data, a fair use of new technologies and the co-existence of an advanced and green society. The second important result we wish to accomplish is to reach the policy level, and let national and European policymakers to understand which are the ideas new generations have to face the post-pandemic world.

<< Objectives >>We aim at greater social inclusion within the 3 selected metropolitan cities:Bxl, MI, Paris. Expats, through the creation of a multilingual app, can get all the necessary bureaucratic info quickly and efficiently upon arrival in the city, easily search for accommodation/work and engagin with local youth communities, while strengthening the EU identity. With offline events and the delivery of a Social inclusion guide, we want this project being the turning point of welcoming youth in big cities<< Implementation >>1) preparation of the project2) desk research3) development of a webapp4)launch of the webapp5) 8 offline events in Paris, Milan and Brussels6) production of a social inclusion guide + follow up strategy7) communication and dissemination all over the project<< Results >>We expect to bridge the gap between foreign young students or professionals’ encountered issues when moving to a new big city with the local citizens and authorities. The last target group meets the needs of a foreigner by providing support to he/she. Thus, the beneficial outcomes of the app entail a two-way process of learning and offering support, wh

<< Objectives >>With SchEU we want to make our school education systems truly inclusive and connected to an everchanging multicutural society, boosting digital skills, recognising microcredentials with a pan-European approach to big challenges our Europe is facing at the local level. With the project we aim at improving networking, putting measures to mentor students and finding peer-to-peer teaching methods, stimulating tolerance, social inclusion, EU identitity and social skills.<< Implementation >>The project foresees different key actions:1)preparation of the project and Kick off meeting 2)Selection of EU ambassador and development of project methodology, including training for teachers3)EU virtual rooms on chosen topics (15 participants per school)4)EU proposal: presentation of outcomes on 9 May 20235)Vote of best EU proposals (jury + social media) 6)study trip to BRUSSELS: from school to EU 7)communication and dissemination activities throughout the project and beyond<< Results >>We expect to implement a multicultural vision in our shools, promoting linguistic diversity, developing initiatives in the field of language teaching and strenghten intercultural awareness, sharing and comparing students and teachers' way of approaching. This way, students will know how important it is to have a positive attitude in their behavior, how they can be an active part of an international project and, consequently, they can have a chance to become good european citizens.

<< Background >>Climate change is increasingly perceived as the defining challenge of our time as it endangers life and livelihood on our planet. The project is designed to fit in the current context the Green Deal paved the way to, recognizing the central role of universities for a successful transition to becoming climate neutral by 2050. HEIs’ are asked to be protagonists of transition, but not all of them have the skills to do so, and need to be quickly empowered, as the time to act on the climate crisis is getting shorter. The project aims to contribute to boosting and valorizing the central role of HEIs in tackling the 2030 Agenda, the Green Deal objectives, and overall environmental priorities. That will be done at all levels of the academic community, from students, to teaching staff, and to the organizational, systemic level.At the students’ level, the project intends to respond to the need for awareness on the SDGs and Sustainability, and for skills development. Helping students gain leadership skills in sustainability is necessary to ensure proper youth involvement in the transition, and as a tool to empower their career path and opportunities in the rising green jobs area. At the teaching staff level, BRIGHTS responds to the need for new methodologies to help teachers upskill and reskill their didactic modalities, and to deliver content in new stimulating ways, facing a context where education on sustainability is growing higher, and the contents and research on the matter are rapidly evolving, In this sense, the project aims at responding to the necessity for competences in sustainability, developing green skills-oriented methodologies, to meet the needs of individuals. At a systemic and organizational level, BRIGHTS intends to meet the need highlighted by the Green Deal, to empower Universities in their capacity to address the green transition. On this side, it is fundamental that HEIs do get the support in the establishment of a sustainability centre, working as a catalyst of green opportunities and boosting the institutes’ capacity to be involved in sustainability. Fostering the adoption of sustainability criteria and practices at a systemic, centralized level, via the creation of dedicated offices, with a solid international and collaborative perspective, is pivotal to enabling HEIs in responding to the call for action raised by the Green Deal.<< Objectives >>The project aims to contribute to boosting and valorizing the central role of HEIs in tackling the 2030 Agenda, the Green Deal objectives, and overall environmental priorities.Through educational and training activities, the project intends to boost awareness and engagement at multiple levels: from students’ green skills and orientation to the green jobs’ market to systemic change in the participating organizations at all levels through the development of innovative learning and teaching practices.The project also aims to transversally promote students’ active citizenship (e.g. via youth environmental organizations, peers’ interaction, and share of good practices). A solid part of the training activity foreseen in the project (Sustainability Leadership sessions) is also devoted to the development of social and intercultural competences, critical thinking, promoting dialogue, and virtual exchange among partner HEIs’ students with different backgrounds. The training program will be instrumental in sharing, among young generations, the values the European Union is pursuing in the field of sustainability.<< Implementation >>The project foresees:- Five Transnational Project Meetings, hosted by the five partners, plus virtual meetings taking place every month;- A Learning, training and teaching activity: “International workshop on innovative methodologies for sustainability-related training”, a three-day workshop that will gather students, PhD, and teachers from all the partners with the goal of defining the fundamental basis, criteria, and needs for the most efficient delivery of teaching activities on sustainability. It will be hosted by the University of Pavia- A Learning, training, and teaching activity “Staff week for sustainability officers”, a three-day workshop addressed to the administrative staff of the partner organizations. It will be organized in sessions to tackle various perspectives related to the Sustainability Offices (exchange of good practices, improvement of the performance of the offices, and internationalization strategy) and hosted by the University of Cologne.- Six Multiplier Events for the dissemination of project results, of which three organized by the academic partners that are learning the three PRs (the University of Pavia, University of Cyprus, University of Cologne) and three organized by the non-academic partner garagErasmus, main responsible for the communication and dissemination activities<< Results >>The project aims at reaching three results:1. Realization of MOOCS to train students on the 2030 Agenda, and implementation of Sustainability Leadership sessions. The MOOCS (formal education) and related interactive activities (non-formal education), will enable behavioural changes for individual preferences, consumption habits, and lifestyles, as well as develop sustainability awareness and critical thinking, promoting learners’ leading attitude towards the active engagement in environmental sustainability.2. Development of innovative student-centred methodologies to deliver sustainability-related teachings. On the one hand, it will support teachers to upskill and reskill their teaching modalities and to deliver contents in new stimulating ways. On the other hand, it will support developing green skills-oriented methodologies, to meet the needs of individuals by realizing and testing innovative student-centred replicable practices. 3. Production of a handbook collecting and disseminating good practices related to the setting up of a Sustainability Centre (SC) in HEIs. will empower universities in their capacity to address the green transition by guiding them in setting up and strengthening the Sustainability Centres as catalysts of green opportunities. Fostering the adoption of sustainability criteria and practices at systemic, centralized level, via the creation of dedicated offices, with a solid international and collaborative perspective, is pivotal to enabling HEIs in responding to the call for action raised by the Green Deal.

"<< Background >>When we talk about ""transition"" we risk falling into the naivety of being able to transport the current system from one point to another but, as young people all over the world are pointing out and as the pandemic has dramatically highlighted, this is not the case. We believe that young people have the capacity, creativity, and passion to build a Europe that does not live off the rest of the world, spreading inequalities and environmental damage. According to the priority of the ""European Youth Forum"", in which the applicant's project coordinator is a delegate, we seek to empower young people as agents of their own, sustainable future. As it is necessary to identify the root causes of inequalities in order to challenge the status quo, the youth should develop competencies in various sustainability-relevant sectors, developing green sectorial skills strategies and methodologies, as well as have a voice about future-oriented curricula that better meet the needs of individuals and communities. We demand that the voice of youth is properly included in the negotiations and, therefore, it calls for a more democratic and equitable process for localizing Agenda 2030, which both includes young people and also tackles inequalities: ""reinforcing links between policy, research and practice"" becomes in this perspective a fundamental vector to approach a just and fair transition.Those are the beliefs and the motives that brought this idea project to life: to foster open and distance learning aimed to develop key competencies and green skills in localizing the goals and principles of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. We believe that young people and youth organizations have several needs to be achieved in the move towards a more sustainable future.For young people:a) to be recognized as rightsholders; b) to see unlocked their potential as agents for change.For youth organizations:c) to be effective catalysts of young people’s efforts; d) to be able to enhance internal training and skills of organizations on sustainability issues.Regarding the needs of young people the project will carry out multi-lateral actions in order to ""give them a seat at the table"" in policy-making processes (a); moreover, the project will provide training materials capable of orienteer young people towards the new professions of sustainability, empowering the ability to influence the political agenda at all levels (b).In this perspective inclusion and diversity are the foundations of every mechanism of meaningful youth participation, therefore the project will make participants with fewer opportunities active parts and protagonists in all phases.Regarding the needs of the partnership, the project will meet the need and the success in transforming isolated initiatives that respond to some principles and goals of the 2030 Agenda into a basis for building a network of cooperation on common local agendas to strengthen young people and youth organizations in this transition era.The general aim of the project is to provide to the partnership a framework through which initiatives and policy areas relevant to them can be linked at the European level to work more effectively. The project address to empower the partnership's organizations in two key areas; -- improving the capacity building to nurture and implement innovative sustainable actions for and with young people (c);- integrating eco-friendly and greener ways of implementing project activities (d).Regarding another specific target group of the project will be local institutions and public bodies it is manifest the criticality of involving local communities in implementation decisions and recommendations from the international level. For these reasons this project, under the priority of reinforcing links between policy research and practices, the project wants to contribute to the localization of the 2030 Agenda with a bottom-up and sociocratic method of participation.<< Objectives >>Over the most recent five years of available data, the EU made progress towards almost all of the 17 sustainable development goals (SDG). Progress in some goals has been faster than in others, and within goals, movement away from the sustainable development objectives also occurred in specific areas. Those valiant efforts are endagered because of the pandemic crisis.We are one with the statement of Von Der Leyen: ""In this year of pandemic - and beyond - this must be Europe's motto, too: I care, we care. This is the most important lesson that I hope we can learn from this crisis. It is a lesson about Europe. We care for the weakest among us. We care for our neighbours. We care for our planet. And we care for future generations."" The context we're living into is the Next Generation EU one, as a temporary instrument designed to help repair the immediate economic and social damage caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. With these funds, Europe wants to be greener, more digital and more resilient to better adapt to current and future challenges.From those premises, the objectives of the project in a trasnational framework are:- contributing to mainstream the principle of sustainable development across policy making in the consortium's countries;- providing innovative youth-led tools on Just and Fair Transition accessible for grassroot organizations;- establishing a transnational alliance between local communities of young people committed to be ""critical agents of change"".<< Implementation >>The first transnational meeting will be held in February 2022 in Tirana, hosted by the National Youth Council of Albania, in the framework of Tirana Youth Capital 2022. So, in addition to management aspects, we will be able to exchange the good and innovative practices in the field of the ""EDU2030"" project among partners and relevant stakeholders: a fundamental first step that together with the national InfoDay Youth in Transition, declined locally by partner organizations, will positively contribute to the realization of the Knots of Transition: A practical guide for grassroots organizations. During the sixth month of the project the LTT activity LIVING (IN) TRANSITION in Fiumicino, Italy hosted by the project coordinator Io, Noi – ODV, will contribute to the full achievement of the project’s objectives by reinforcing and enriching, with a participatory bottom-up approach, the consortium’s vision of a just and fair transition. Specifically, by providing participants, in a proper transnational framework, with concrete tools to become agents of change in their communities the LTT will have a decisive impact in activating results for the following project objective: “establishing a transnational alliance between local communities of young people committed to be critical agents of change”. It is also the activity that will start in a proper manner the co-development of the Youth in Transition MOOC, an open and distance learning educational resource tailored for youth “transitioners” and organizations. Together with all dissemination activities of this core result of the project, we’re going to implement the second National InfoDays Transition in Talking, with a relevant focus on public stakeholders. This event will not only be an opportunity for meeting and discussion between stakeholders from local/national public bodies and institutions but will be relevant as a key to the dissemination of the project to enable future actions in the same community in the vision of active policymakers and agents of change. The collection of results of these activities will also help in designing the Guidelines to localize the 2030 Agenda. With these guidelines in place, the project will promote the multiplier events ROADMAP FOR LOCALIZING THE SDGS: this series of events are organized to reach a wider audience not only the intellectual outputs of the project but and foremost aim to further multiply and engage national, regional and local institutions, strengthening the collaboration already established with other teachers, schools and organizations. In this framework, involved and active parties will become allies in the just and fair transition. The creation of this transnational alliance, that we had started from the first meeting in Tirana, will allow activating locally transformations and transitions, well beyond the empowerment of individual participants, in a flow of participatory processes able to manage and promote the young generations oriented to sustainable development and active and nonviolent transformation of society. The meetings are planned to involve, in addition to the identified target group, youth leaders, and key stakeholders in a series of structured conversations, with the goal to explore, together and by different points of view, the new strategies designed at the European level on the project topics. The “EDU2030: Youth in Transition” final and sustainability meeting will be held in August 2023 in Ermesinde, Portugal, hosted by the youth organization ""Associação Sójovem das Saibreiras"". The meeting will be the occasion to present the final results of the project and to involve participant organizations with the stakeholders, including local authorities, in an open round-table discussion about the follow-up of the project.<< Results >>According to the project objectives the general expected outcomes are to see concrete steps forward in people’s rights, in the communities involved in the project, to participate in the decisions that shape their future; to see youth organizations supported and empowered to represent young people’s voices as critical agents of change; to have contributed to the design of policies that fit the criteria of ensuring a more equal society, in which the needs and rights of all, including marginalized groups and future generations, are met within the means of the planet. In particular, during the project we envision achieving the following outcomes: - boost the activation of new eco-friendly way and green practices inside the partners organizations, thanks to the joint cooperation --> related Project Result ""Knots of Transition: A practical guide for grassroots organizations"";- test and validate training methodologies in the field of sustainability with three actors' profiles through the LTT ""Living (in) Transition""; - involve relevant stakeholders and rightsholders; - develop virtual, open and free of charge training materials --> related Project Result ""Youth in Transition MOOC""; - engage local institutions in a discussion about Just and Fair Transition policies --> related Project Result ""Guidelines to localize the 2030 Agenda"".Project result 1. KNOTS OF TRANSITION: A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS: The handbook results will be presented in a pragmatic manner, aimed at the hands-on project team, and are supported by relevant references to examples of best and/or good practice, competence centers, and role models which are being carried out in the european cultural field, as well as by global links to appropriate and useful online resources.Project Result 2. YOUTH IN TRANSITION MOOC: it will be, consistently with the project aims, realized and implemented in different phases marked first by the time and then by the results of studies and research in the field of young people and youth workers by the networking formed by the partnership in conjunction and collaboration. Young people, youth workers and youth leaders involved in the project will continue to carry out actions in their communities and at transnational level supportedby this newly open and distance educational resource. Project Result 3. GUIDELINES TO LOCALIZE THE 2030 AGENDA: this toolkit is addressed at regional and local policy-makers responsible for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, as well as other stakeholders involved in the process. Its goal is to support and guide on how to organize the meaningful participation of young people. It provides a set of principles, methods and concrete tips of how to maximize the meaningful participation of youth in the programming, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of the people reached by the Youth in Transition project. Moreover, the project sought to directly involve young people, policy-makers, youth organisations andstakeholders in shaping the main design elements of the toolkit, so as to ensure it is as useful and as close as possible to the real needs and challenges of both young people and the local authorities advocating for a just and fair transition.On its completion we expected the following outcomes: - establish transnational alliances of Just and Fair Transition activators; - keep available an open directory of educational resources and their availability to learners with an already significant amount of trained young people; - disseminating role models in the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by cooperating with civil society stakeholders; - raising awareness of public authorities in the implementation of minimal content of new transition policies."
