    The proposal will address teachers and students from kindergarten, primary, secondary and vocational training schools in Spain, Italy, and Austria. The NGOs involved in the proposal will be InteRed, CESIE and Südwind. The intellectual outputs produced in the proposal will be available for the educational community at the European level. In the proposal, the schools will become agents of change to transform our world. The socioeconomic effects of the COVID 19 increase the current crisis regarding climate, migratory and care-giving we are already undergoing. The general objective of the proposal is to promote social inclusion by fostering global, critical, responsible and active citizenship that will fight for equality, intercultural dialogue and against discrimination and the environmental damage. The proposal is therefore aligned with two of the priorities of this call: social inclusion and common values, civic engagement and participationThe specific objective of the proposal is to promote transformative and innovative educational methods and practices in order to foster social inclusion and global citizenship. This objective responds to what the Eurydice Report “Global Citizenship education in the European educational system” states regarding “ traditional educational strategies (that) are no longer appropriate for education about citizenship”. Backing active, holistic and collaborative methodologies means a curriculum development focused on competences instead of contents and putting the student at the center of the teaching-learning process. This approach will contribute to tackling early school leaving which is also an objective of the proposal.The innovative education by means of transformative methodologies proposed by the action will be implemented in two ways, on the one hand, teachers capacity building and on the other hand the production of educational resources. More than a hundred teachers will participate in the on-line training, virtual seminars and multiplier events that will be implemented, about innovative and transformative educational methods to promote social inclusion with a global citizenship approach, in the three countries. Four guidelines for teachers will be produced, with practical orientations to address diversity, the development of emotional skills, critical thinking, and global competence. Learning through games will play an essential role in the teacher's training process, within the second component of the proposal.In the framework of the proposal, games as an educational resource will be produced. These games will be a supportive tool for teachers in their classes, so that students improve their knowledge, skills, and attitudes, at the individual as well as at the collective level to foster social inclusion and global citizenship. Four board games will be produced as intellectual results for students in the different educational stages, from 3 to 18 years old. In these games, the students from different schools and countries will have to collaborate to deal with global challenges. 24 teachers and 540 students (8 teachers and 180 students per country) will participate in the elaboration and validation of educational resources. The main criteria for the selection of the schools and participants will be to give priority to students at risk of school leaving and students with a migrant background. Balanced participation between girls and boys will also be considered. There will be an on-line platform for exchanges among students from different schools. Learning through games is an innovative, active and participative methodology that will promote cohesion among the participants which will also foster motivation and inclusion, which are critical to stopping school leaving. The collaboration needed to deal with the global challenges in the games will contribute to the construction of global citizenship among the students.The aforementioned intellectual outputs will be freely available on the project web site as well as on those of the partner organizations and ERASMUS plus platform, School Education Gateway, in Spanish, English, German and Italian. This will multiply the scope of the proposal. Besides this, 45 units of each game will be printed for distribution among teachers participating in the multiplier events that will be held in each country to disseminate the project results. InteRed, CESIE and Südwind will guarantee the use of these resources in schools and their impact on students.

    We live in a fast changing world filled with global connections, which opens up opportunities as well as posing us some huge challenges. In our daily live we use and depend on goods from all over the world, delivering not only wealth, but also responsibilities. What does it take to be a world citizen, and which wisdom, awareness, capacities and attitudes do we need to realise the dream of global justice and prosperity?The topics of global interdependence and responsibility are becoming more relevant and the current globalisation trends has caused that active global citizenship is becoming more and more important. Critical thinking, sustainable ways of living, respect, solidarity, fight against xenophobia and understanding the connection between global end local are important components of their competences, which young people should acquire and reflect on to become active global citizens. The initiative to create a strategic partnership of NGOs working in global education to exchange good practices within non-formal education and create better conditions for bringing the topics of global active citizenship to non-formal education came from People in Peril. PIPA has been actively working in global education since 2003 with the main focus on formal education. The motivation for the partnership was to get inspiration and learn from the partners organisation with more experiences and practices in linking global education with non-formal education particularly youth work.The aim of the project was:• to improve cooperation for innovation and exchange of good practices in global citizenship education within non-formal education by which will be created better conditions for bringing the topics of global active citizenship to non-formal education, particularly youth work. The specific objectives were:• enhanced quality and relevance of the learning offer in non-formal education, particularly youth work in the area of global active citizenship and• developed the competencies of global active citizenship among youth workers and youth group leaders.There were 4 organisations in the strategic partnership: Mondo (Estonia), Südwind Agentur (Austria), CIES Onlus (Italy), People in peril (PIPA, Slovakia). All of them are involved in global education for more than 10 years. Südwind was established in 1980 and is important NGO in the global education field recognised on international level,covering formal and non-formal education, campaigning and advocacy activities. Mondo and PIPA have been active mostly in formal education, preparing publications and providing documentaries for teachers as learning tools. CIES has the closest link to youth work, since it runs a youth centre for youngsters mostly with migration background.The main undertaking activities were fallowing:• Survey on global education in youth work implemented through online questionnaire and focus groups in four involved countries.• Developed a common strategy how to introduce and support global education in youth work and provide learning offer for youth workers to improve their competences in dealing with global topic in their practice.• Creating a training curriculum for youth workers/youth leaders in global topics, which was used for international training of trainers for youth workers and youth leaders plus creating curriculum for trainings on national level. • 5 - days long international training of trainers for youth workers and youth leaders, including mentoring support in follow-up activates. • Creating methods pack – Global education and Youth work,Toolkit on food, migration and media topics• Sharing and exchange interesting articles, methods and ideas related to global education with participants involved in project activities directly or within the network on national level (through newsletter and sending learning offers) The results are:1. Obtained and evaluated results from survey on global dimension in youth organisations2. Developed strategy of implementing global citizenship education in youth organisations3. Global citizenship training curriculum (international training) including drafting curriculum for trainings on national level. 4. Materials and methodology for global citizenship education-Toolkit on food, migration and media topic (21 activities, 90 pages in PDF) and translation in Slovak, Italian.5.

    The project GeT responds to the need for innovative methods to discuss sustainable consumption and links between local actions and global impacts in youth work and global citizenship education. The project aims at increasing the awareness and action of youth on sustainable consumption. In addition, it will offer youth workers concrete tools for innovative and engaging activities to encourage sustainable consumption and active citizenship amongst youth.During the project, four partner organisations involved in youth work in Finland, Austria, Spain and Italy will collect, analyse and disseminate best practices in using games and gamifying in tackling complex issues related to sustainability in youth work. These will be published in a toolkit covering best practices that are easily adapted for use anywhere. The partners will also use their expertise to develop a board game that will enable young people to learn about sustainable consumption in a fun, engaging way. The game will be a simple tool for youth workers and teachers to tackle the complex issues. It will be accompanied by clear instructions for educators and can be used in various settings. Through the national and international networks of the partners it will reach European organisations working with youth, as well as schools and educators. The outputs of the project will remain free for use in the as part of the partners’ services to youth workers, volunteers and educators, hence offering long term benefits for the communities.During the project the partners will meet three times to learn from each other and share best practices. The board game will be co-created with youth and launched in national events.

    "<< Background >>Climate change and migration present two seemingly separate global challenges. These global themes are inextricably linked and, according to the International Organization for Migration (2018), ""estimates suggest that climate change could be a major cause of displacement between 25 million and 1 billion people over the next 40 years"". In addition to the cause-and-effect relationship between them, climate change and migration prove that these issues are cross-cutting and global and should be addressed as such. Namely, in addition to the contribution of the lion's share to the problem of climate change and migration, the global north also controls the way in which challenges are addressed in ways that often serve to strengthen existing unequal power structures. However, climate change is a challenge that, if left unchecked, will affect the whole world and, as a result, have a major impact on human migration. The beginnings of the consequences of global warming are already clearly felt in the form of more frequent and longer heat waves, stronger droughts and more frequent disasters and floods. Such changes are already bringing about changed conditions for food production, the extinction of animal and plant species, the faster spread of infectious diseases and great economic damage. However, extreme weather can also lead to immediate migratory responses. According to IOM (2008), “the number of natural disasters has more than doubled in the last two decades and more than 20 million people have been displaced by sudden natural disasters related to climate”.As part of the pan-European “ClimateOfChange” campaign, last year Ipsos conducted a survey among young people (aged 15 to 35) in 23 European countries.The results of the survey show that young Europeans see climate change and environmental degradation as the main policy priorities, while on the other hand they generally perceive migration as less worrying. Almost half (46%) of young Europeans consider climate change to be one of the most serious problems facing the world, which ranks them first among those problems, including the COVID-19 pandemic. In second place is “environmental degradation, including for example air pollution, deforestation and animal extinction” (44%). However, only 13% consider ""migration"" to be one of the most serious problems facing the world.The Beyond the tales project is thus a response to the discrepancy in linking climate change and migration among young people, which builds on the results of research that suggests that young people do not currently link climate change and migration to a large extent, but are aware of their connection to the future. In this regard, youth workers often report that they do not feel qualified to address pressing, current and global issues such as climate change and migration, and consequently their support for young people who are already active is weakened.<< Objectives >>Global problems are not isolated, they are interdependent, intertwined, complex, so it is important that their addressing is just that, connected. The general objective of the project is aimed at youth workers in order to provide knowledge and information aimed at acquiring and strengthening competencies and a critical understanding of climate migration. Through the educational-awareness project we want to promote and strengthen the connection and solidarity between youth workers and young people and to spread understanding, solidarity, and encourage activation for a climate and socially just society.An important project goal is also the implementation of a communication plan, through which we will inform the general public about the project contents and encourage public discourse on climate migration, which is currently an overlooked topic. Last but not least, the goal is to increase the organizational capacity of the NGO sector in partner countries through the dissemination of acquired organizational knowledge through the networks of partner organizations. Through project activities, we want to support and promote the new EU initiative ""Climate Education Coalition"" in the fight against climate change.<< Implementation >>The implemented project activities are related to the project results and outcomes, which are described below in the application form.<< Results >>The Strategic Project Partnership will achieve the following project results:a project website (1), which will be the focal point and place where most of the project results will be grouped together, and which will address climate change and migration by linking personal stories and expertise. Content modules will also be available on it.Conducted lectures and workshops that will contribute to capacity building and organizational - development of partner organizations (5)- preparation of infolists (5) with recommendations for strengthening the capacities of organizations in certain content areas and the field of organizational development- Carrying out a qualitative survey (1) in the form of a focus group in each of the partner countries, which will present an in-depth analysis of the needs and work of youth workers in the areas of climate change, (climate) migration and youth activism. A comparative analysis between countries will also be made. So far, no qualitative analysis exists in any of the partner organizations and in the wider sector.- Mapping of available tools, approaches, research and theories (1) in each partner country on global learning, climate change, climate migration, youth activism and related topics- The preparation of content modules (3), which will be designed interactively, will contain professional material presented in a creative way and materials in the field of global learning, climate change and climate migration and social engagement of young people, and which will be updated twice during each training cycle.- training of youth workers and other educators (2), based on non-formal education methods and a combination of online and offline methods (short videos, tasks to be completed by participants, practical work in international pairs, group, field work with young people ) and on which the contents of the modules will be presented. Youth workers will be encouraged to connect the newly acquired knowledge (related to both content and methods for working with young people) in the module with their own local issues, which will make it easier to identify with topics and address them in the future. . We will update the trainings twice based on the feedback obtained from the training participants.- Online meeting of all trainees (4) before and after each of the trainings- Blended training (1)- Conducting a national competition on climate change and migration (1) in each of the partner countries, which will encourage young people from the partner countries to reflect on this topic through the recording of their stories, while increasing the visibility of the project- a booklet with stories Beyond the tales (1), which will contain personal stories and records of young people on climate change and migration. It will be based on interviews conducted by young people under the mentorship of youth workers with young people from associated partner organizations (mostly) from the countries of the global south. The booklet will be an upgrade of Humanitas ’booklet Her stories (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LgHrCdNRHGhRwr71nZBJN6a92MfQYyin/view), which has been recognized as good practice by NA Movit. The booklet will therefore contain a.) Stories based on interviews, b.) Stories selected in national competitions, c.) Links to view events (in QR format) performed by associated partners.- online events of associated partner organizations (3), where the associated partners will prepare a presentation of the thematic content of the project through their eyes in a form of their choice (climate change, migration, youth participation…)- International Conference on Climate Migration (1), with the participation of all partner organizations- Multiplication event in partner countries in the last quarter of the project (3)- Strategic meetings of the partner consortium (5)- Preparation and implementation of a communication plan (1)"
