"The main objective of the strategic partnership was to develop universal multilingual tools and materials that would directly contribute to raising the awareness of school youth in the development of knowledge about multiculturalism and national identity. Based on the experience and analysis of the tools currently available to partner organizations, we have been able to provide comprehensive support for innovative ways to help young people aged 15-18 to identify their own borders, prepare for a mature and independent assessment of social phenomena.Participating organizations:Eduexpert has experience in implementing EU projects, staff with experience and experience in creating multimedia materials and interactive e-textbooks or e-learning materials, available to students with various disabilities. Areas where the company has specialized since its inception. It is the creation of innovative digital materials for schoolchildren and training of teaching staff.Partner I: KATOLICKA UNIVERZITA V RUZOMBERKU The University is involved in the implementation of a dozen or so research and academic projects in Slovakia and international in the field of counseling and education. In their activities they emphasize interdisciplinarity, individual development taking into account market trends, including processes of globalization and digitization.Partner II: UK Butterflies LTD Butterflies supports educational systems that play an important role in supporting the integration of people from immigrant populations into the community in which they live. Turning to the new community and meeting the educational needs of immigrant students is a major concern of the UK Butterflies, and at the same time a major challenge for education systems throughout Europe.As part of an innovative project ""Multiculturalism in the face of identity preservation - youth education projects"" have been created and assembled in one place:- a set of school-based educational tools that are applicable to parallel target groups (teachers, educators, pupils, parents) consisting of: digital material for multiculturalism, living in the contact of cultures in the community. multikuti.Project implementation took place in 2 stagesI STAGE: Developing innovative multimedia tools for school children in multicultural and identity areas. In the first stage, innovative solutions for modern methods of learning and co-operation of school children in the fourth stage of education (according to Polish classification) were developed. Development of modern technical and technological tools for school youth. Experts and students in each partner country were involved in the production of the materials.STAGE II: Validation of developed educational materials and dissemination. Within this stage, the developed tools were tested in schools, modified after evaluation and validation. 3 dissemination events (conferences and seminars) were carried out.The impact of the project will not end with the completion of the project. Developed innovative materials will be available in the market. project.The project has produced results of a universal nature. Involvement of international partners has enabled us to develop products that can be used and will be used in partner countries.The developed products are useful for the recipients regardless of their place of residence, which is of great importance in today's educational and occupational mobility. ).Long-term benefits, if applicable: Due to the fact that the project products are entirely in English (partner language - UK Butterfly and partner language), they are available and can be used by nationals of other countries. This makes it possible to draw examples for similar actions for other target groups, or to extend further support to representatives in the field of multiculturalism, assimilation and identity.At the end of the project the produced teaching materials and the project website are promoted http://www.multiculturalism.eu. Also developed digital tools (adapted to the latest technological solutions - availability on the smartphone, tablet, interesting multimedia interactions). Every partner has declared to inform all channels available in his current activity about the project, the results of the project and its use, during promotional actions, meetings business, training, all IT solutions (other platforms, forums, etc.)."

The ASEB project is grounded on the following pillars: social inclusion, studies without barriers, using smart technologies, active and creative approaches to senior education, spreading cultural heritage. The project will engage 4 organisations; we state here only their abbreviations, full names of the organisations are given in section Participating Organisations: OU, AMBESP, RUTIS, KU. With respect to project objectives, the following important activities will be carried out:Objective 1. To follow the methodology created within the project Inclusive Senior Education through Virtual U3V (ISEV) based on 4 pillars: using SMART technologies, removing information barriers, seniors’ active approach to education, inter-generation dialogue. The project output will be two eLearning courses-O2, O4. The courses will be created in a way to meet 3 pillars of the methodology, i.e. SMART technologies, removing information barriers, and seniors’ active approach to education. At this stage, we do not anticipate engagement of students and the youth into the project. However, the inter-generation dialogue could also be implemented throughout project implementation.Objective 2. To broaden the methodology with international cooperation when designing and implementing educational activities for seniors focused on cultural heritage in the area of music using SMART t. This Objective is met, in fact, by all project activities. A joint methodology will be created in the area of senior choir leadership-O1, including an international songbook-O3, which will reflect specific approaches and procedures noticed in individual partner countries. The cooperation will be not only in the area of creating the methodology, but in its implementation as well, i.e. choir leadership, rehearsing joint repertoire according to O3 intensified during blended mobility-C1, joint multiplication activity-E1.Objective 3. To implement the methodology and specific procedures in senior education that have been verified in the participating organisations, where such education can be enriched and broadened. There is a direct link to O1–creation of a methodology and its pilot verification, C1 collaborative learning, and E1 multiplication activity.Objective 4. To focus on creative topics in and approaches to senior education. Seniors’ creativity will be primarily supported in O1, but we also plan to create an eLearning course Cultural Heritage-O2, which will emphasise seniors’ creativity and their active approach to education. The course will contain a number of activities for seniors, i.e. they will not just passively read or study prepared materials and sources, but they will also create materials and be motivated to record, describe, and evaluate selected historical and cultural events. They will post there their observations, experience, memories, and findings directly into the course in the eLearning platform. They will actively participate in the course content, not only during the project implementation, or piloting, but after the project termination as well. Objective 5. To strengthen international dialogue and to use untraditional forms of communication. This Objective will take advantage of two ways of communication: non-verbal – by music and virtual – by the eLearning platform. Such a seemingly heterogeneous blend could help initialise a dialogue between the seniors at an international level. We expect such a way of communication to become a significant factor in social inclusion of seniors. Meeting this Objective is a cross-sectional in all activities, primarily in activities O2, O4, and C1.Objective 6. To carry out collaborative learning, both in the form of eLearning courses and direct learning during blended mobility joint meetings of seniors. Collaborative learning will take place in all activities. O1–rehearsing the choir repertoire at national levels while using the created methodology and songbook. O2–joint educational platform for sharing materials, communication and active approach of the seniors. O3–The songbook will serve to rehearse a joint repertoire during the O2 piloting, C1 blended mobility, and E1 multiplication activity. O4–the eLearning course will primarily include seniors’ contributions. There will be a record of learning and rehearsing the choir repertoire, records of performances, records of collaborative learning during blended mobility, introduction of practical implementation of the methodology, etc. the course will also serve for communication between experts as well as seniors. There will also be open space for presenting senior-choir work after the project termination.The project emphasises continuous evaluation and dissemination as well as permanent sustainability. During the project investigation, we will trustworthily inform interested public about project outputs and the possibilities of their further dissemination and use. We will strictly observe that the project outputs are available after project terminate.

"Context and objective:This project focuses on multidisciplinary support for positive changes in families in difficult situations. Our objective is to stimulate development in multidisciplinary cooperation that should include various specialists as equal partners as well as receivers of care (“laymen”), who should also be involved. The project aims to contribute further to the development of quality of multidisciplinary cooperation. Everyone speak about multidisciplinary collaboration but often the result is just a lot of meetings between professionals where the clients are not participating, creating more hours of futile professional talk that is disconnected from the lives of the people the professionals are supposed to help. The problem is very serious and the only solution is to start to train professionals, to teach them how to generate dialogues with families and how to work in a client centred rather than a professional centred manner. Other problem is that very often “laymen” (people with their own experience in dealing with difficult situations in families) are not really involved in this multidisciplinary cooperation.In this area there is a lack of educational opportunities not only for professionals but as well as for “laymen” and not only in the countries involved in the project. Thanks to such training/ educational opportunity: 1) ""laymen"" could become peer consultants and ambassadors in their area of difficult experience and could help others in a similar situation to become active participants and initiators of multidisciplinary support and 2) professionals will be able to not only be an effective and constructive part of the team, but also to coordinate multidisciplinary teams.Professionals from organizations involved in the project are working with children in families in difficult situations and crisis according to the concept of social constructivism and dialogical, collaborative and solution focused approaches. These approaches create a space for expressing and understanding different perspectives, as well as gaining confidence and experiencing empathy. ActivitiesIn the project we plan to develop Train the trainer training (O1, O2) for professionals of project partners and also manuals (O3, O4) and innovative trainings for “laymen” and for professionals focused on helping them providing multidisciplinary support on currently widely spread constructivist basis and above mentioned approaches. These trainings will be blended and will include face to face (O5, O6) and also e-learnings (O7, O8). Other activities include Best practice guidelines / report on multidisciplinary support models (O10) and Development of multidisciplinary teams – MDT (O9). Better teamwork in mental health services increases job satisfaction. MDTs can promote better coordination and quality of integrated care by fostering collaboration between professionals and laymen. Results, impact and potential longer term benefits:By preparing combined training sessions, as well as the manuals, we would like to achieve the sustainability of the project. For the future we are planning to develop this topic further by maintaining free e-learning portal as well as by providing such trainings and supporting MDTs. Sustainability and transferability will be secured also by language variability as the trainings can be held in English or Czech or Slovak (or combination) and also manuals will be available in these languages.Participants of trainings will develop and strengthen different competences and will become more emp and owered competent in dealing with uncertain and ambiguous situations, building up resilience for managing positive changes. Professionals will also become more competent in involving laymen in searching for solutions, facilitating MDT, etc. Direct impact should be also on development of multidisciplinary teams (MDT), their sustainability and their support. MDT teams can initiate or transform community services. Longer term impact and benefit is in increasing the professionalism of all subjects involved in supporting the family and protecting children and raising awareness of the issues of the professional and general public. It could also have impact on other relevant stakeholders – e.g. public employment services, counselling centres, offices of labour, centres for children and families, institutions that educate these professionals, societies and organisations that deal with clients and families in difficult situations or schools. These institutions can broaden their networks as they will be invited for conferences that take place during the project.The direct impact of the project is to educate as many professional and laymen as possible and to further disseminate the trainings into other countries. The broadened network that will be established by our cooperation will be an additional means for sustainability."

"""European Eastern University"" project was implemented since September 1, 2014 till October 31, 2016 by the City of Lublin in partnership with 5 universities: 3 from Lublin and 2 foreign ones - from Lithuania and Slovakia. They are: Maria Curie-Sklodowska University, John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Lublin University of Technology, Mykolas Romeris University from Vilnius and the Catholic University in Ruzomberok.The project objectives were as follows:- To promote Lublin as an academic city,- To improve and strengthen the cooperation of the City of Lublin with Lublin universities and foreign partners in order to obtain best practices for creating educational and non-educational offer of Lublin for students from the Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries,- To support policies of Lublin universities in acquisition of foreign students and in education on study programmes tailored to the needs of potential employers in Lublin and EaP countries through transfer of good practices from other academic centres in EU and by adapting study programmes to the needs of labour markets of Lublin and EaP countries,- To provide students with favourable conditions for education by diversifying the city's offer addressed to students (including foreign students from EaP countries).The project began with 3 researches:- Research on foreign students studying in Lublin concerning the quality of received educational offer, needs of its changes, complementary offer and quality of life in the city - survey supplemented by in-depth interviews,- Research on motivation of potential foreign students – survey conducted with use of an electronic tool among young persons for EaP countries,- Desk research on existing solutions and best practises concerning the offer for foreign students.Action providing international learning and exchange of experiences were 3 study visits with workshops held in Lublin, Vilnius and Ruzomberok and used to acquire good practices of partners and to obtain recommendations to improve educational and non-educational offer. Each visit ended with a report summarizing the course of the visit and gathering good practices presented during it.Each of Lublin universities created a new study programme tailored to the needs of students from EaP countries. They are: postgraduate studies in the field of Central and Eastern Europe development offered by KUL, postgraduate studies “The citizen and the enterprise in the internal market of the EU” offered by UMCS and a specialization ""Sustainable building"" within the ""Environmental engineering"" offered by the Lublin University of Technology.Within the project a joint publication was created containing comprehensive solutions to improve study offer in Lublin for students from EaP countries. It is a summary and a set of knowledge gained through research and study visits. Also joint information materials ""Study in Lublin!"" of the City of Lublin and universities involved in project were developed. Their aim is to encourage young people from EaP countries to study in Lublin, especially on study programmes developed within the project. The materials were developed in 4 languages: Polish, English, Ukrainian and Russian.Throughout the duration of the project the website at www.euw.lublin.eu was carried out. The project ended with a conference summing it up and promoting its results, which gathered approx. 250 participants mainly from Poland, EaP countries (mainly Ukraine and Belarus) and representatives of project partners from Slovakia and Lithuania.Products developed during the project are: report from research on foreign students studying in Lublin, report from research on motivation of potential foreign students, report from desk research on existing solutions and best practices, 3 reports of study visits, joint publication containing comprehensive solutions to improve the study offer in Lublin for students from EaP countries, 3 new study programmes, project website and common information materials of the City of Lublin and Lublin universities involved in the project.Among the results of the project, it is worth mentioning the increase of knowledge of involved university staff on creating educational offer for students from EaP countries, on their needs for higher education and non-educational issues as well as increase of knowledge of academics and local government employees on creation of partnerships of local government and universities for creating offer for foreign students. In long term, the project will contribute to increase of the number of students from EaP countries studying in Lublin, increase of their knowledge and improvement of their chances on labour markets in EU and EaP countries thanks to new study programmes and to the overall improved match of educational and non-educational offer to needs of foreign students. The project has also positively affected the cooperation between the City of Lublin and universities - all partners expressed their will and need to continue cooperation."
