<< Objectives >>The project strives to contribute to the uptake of information security competences among European citizens and employees. By establishing discussions regarding frameworks and educational approaches in this field, the project will develop a level playing field for a European approach. By developing materials for approaching, engagementand sensitization of employees in SMEs, the project delivers tool to help build awareness for the importance of safety bahviour in digital world.<< Implementation >>The project is going to implement three iterative activities. First, frameworks and regulations will be analyzed regarding low-threshhold information security, which is relevant for SMEs and citizens alike. Secondly, a lead-user steering panel will be formed of experts from the DACH and Baltic region to discuss experiences on education and the findings from Activity 1. The panel develops seed materials, which engage initially citizens working SMEs in information security (Activity 3).<< Results >>The project will contribute to a more systemic and consequent discussion about the need of citizen education in the domain of information security across the EU. With the provision of a plattform for exchange and information dissemination, and the development of seeding materials for engagement and awareness rising, this project paves the way for coherent capability building, the uptake of digital skills and broader focus on the negative aspects of digitalization in the modern society.

<< Objectives >>The SOCIAL projects strives to facilitate European citizens in responsibly participating in digital environments. The project sets out the steps of awareness risingfor security threats, the faciliation to secure compliance of individual rights in the digital space and, finally, the realization of true sovereignty - the execution of ownership, responsibility and independence in the digital world.<< Implementation >>Education and Training are the most important angles to unlock competences necessary for digital sovereignty. Therefore, information exchange and knowledge transfer lay at the heart of this project. The first activity establishes common grounds on the status quo of information security awareness among citizens from the member countries, meanhwile activity two entails the transfer of existing tools, which support especially SMEs and SMOs to develop information security competences.<< Results >>The project will provide important insights necessary for the development of a larger application. By broadening the perspective of information security education and training to the realm of citizenship, the project aims to transfer findings from the education of personnel within SMEs into a wider reality. To the end of establishing new focal points, the exchange and transfer of knowledge and existing tools will be conducted and evaluated via user satisfaction surveys.

<< Objectives >>The current security situation in Europe demonstrates well the need for a MA program which will provide the knowledge on hybrid threats.Main objectives of this Project are aiming to develop a research-based comprehensive international Curriculum enabling the delivery of a Masters' course with the specific focus on tackling hybrid threats. The Curriculum would include study materials on each topic. In addition, the system for the uptake of micro-qualifications/credentials would be developed.<< Implementation >>The planned activities are multi-folded: first, a scientific research agenda will be developed promoting thus the research of hybrid threats and related topics in a systematic manner. Second, Project Partners' academic staff members will attend training on hybrid threats. Third, the Curriculum development which forms the core of this Project. The Curriculum would be available for EU and non-EU training institutions for the implementation and future integration into national Masters' studies.<< Results >>Main results of this project are: 9 scientific articles dedicated to hybrid threats; a ready-made Masters' Course Curriculum in line with EQF level 7 requirements; the methodology and study materials for students; and the system for micro-qualifications/credentials uptake. This project would provide a new knowledge and skills for academic staff members enabling recognizing and tackling hybrid threats, as well as personal experiences gained during the project implementation.

In view of the growing phenomenon of international migration on a global scale and taking into account the current situation related to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a need to rethink the models that work in practice for the integration of groups of newcomers at risk of disadvantage and the role played in them by the prospect of professional success. In modern European societies, professional success is closely linked to the quality and level of education. At the same time, the acquisition of good quality education is particularly important for the long-term integration process of migrants. Migrants face a number of additional barriers to their education. These barriers are related to the social, psychological, economic and legal conditions for adaptation to a new way of life in the host society. This means that children migrating with parents working abroad have special educational needs. In this context, the overall aim of the project is to equip future and current teachers and pedagogy students with the tools and knowledge to work with migrant children. The implementation of the intended activities will contribute to the development of the competence of teachers who, using new methods, will counteract early school leaving of students from disadvantaged groups such as refugee and economic migrant families. A detailed result of the project will be the development of materials in English describing innovative methods of teachers' work with children from migrant families, which will be generally available as a module of an online educational platform addressed mainly to people working or learning in the fields related to work with migrant children. The preparation of these materials will be preceded by an empirical analysis of needs, expectations and cultural norms in the implementation of intercultural education in primary schools in Poland, Czech Republic, Lithuania and Finland. At the same time we plan to develop a strategy for the development of teachers' and students' competences in the field of pedagogy concerning working with children of migrants. The development of model solutions (online learning module) in the field of intercultural education by project teams will be of universal character - they will be developed in cooperation between four project partners from different EU countries, where the partner from Finland will act as a leader in the transfer of knowledge and experience gained during long-term cooperation with Finnish schools. In the project we intend to focus on the issue of broadly understood educational support for children from migrant families, not only by developing new, innovative and empirically established teaching strategies, but also by increasing the competence of teachers and students of the pedagogical faculty and their knowledge and skills through an e-learning platform, where all the results of the project, i.e. the educational module and strategies, will be available and which will serve as a place to share knowledge about working with children of migrants. This platform will be a living organism that will be constantly developing as it will allow users to participate in the creation of its content and new modules. In order to maintain the highest quality of the content and education of the platform, it will be monitored on an ongoing basis by specially appointed experts of the WSB Academy and the project partners.We assume that the quality of education of the children of migrants will contribute to the long-term social integration opportunities in the host country.The participants of the consortium responsible for the implementation of the project are Universities from Poland, Lithuania and the Czech Republic with significant achievements in the education of pedagogical staff and the organisation from Finland with extensive experience in implementing Finnish educational solutions and acting as a model institution for the rest of the project partners.
