<< Background >>Access to health is considered a fundamental right at international and European level. Clear evidence indicates that LGBTI individuals still face strong healthcare inequalities which results in poor health and have consequences for their well- being. LGBTI people have a significantly higher risk of well-being implications such as depression, anxiety, minority stress and social isolation. A survey from the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) indicated that in 2020 overall more LGBTI people felt discriminated (43%), This percentage was significant lower in 2012 (37%). More specifically, in 2020, 42% of the surveyed LGBTI people answered that they would not be open about their orientation with any healthcare professional. In addition to this, 16% of LGBTI people responded that they had perceived discrimination when in contact with health care or social services (EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA)).Reflecting on these data the INSIGHT project will create an innovative Microlearning Programme which will lead HEI Healthcare undergraduate students and current healthcare professionals to greater acknowledgement of LGBTI people’s needs and promote an inclusive healthcare system. It will enhance knowledge, skills and attitudes by diminishing the competency gaps and assumptions regarding the clinical assessment and treatments of LGBTI individuals. The INSGHT project is based on the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and the Treaty on European Union and on the idea that everybody has the right to feel free and comfortable and have the vital right to entry healthcare services without being afraid to deal with a negative attitude and stigmatization. Next to that, our project is in line with the LGBTI Equality Strategy 2020- 2025 and the European Commission’s intention, which was mentioned in, to set up an equal Union without discrimination and exclusion.<< Objectives >>The project effectively uses the strong experience of all its consortium members in global public health issues, life and health sciences, on LGBTI people's well-being and in designing and delivering innovatory e-learning solutions for educational organizations, to develop a high-quality Microlearning Programme for HEI healthcare undergraduate students and healthcare professionals. The main aim of the INSIGHT project is to promote common values, inclusion, equality and participation through acquiring new competences, skills and guidelines about best practices regarding LGBTI people and their needs when accessing the health sector.Therefore, the project aims to:•Empower awareness, recognition and acceptance of the factors that affect LGBTI people’s well-being and physical health. •Promote and enhance Digital Transformation in HEI by creating a flexible and easily accessible digital learning material. The COVID- 19 crisis and the need of online learning courses showed us how technology can be used in education in an innovative and advantageous way. The project builds on the recommendations of the Digital Education Action Plan (2021-2027).•Establish an equal health care provision for LGBTI people.•Build acceptance and trust between all participants.•Implement the final product within the respective partner countries to stimulate health initiatives and policies that support LGBTI people’s rights and dignity. The INSIGHT project will focus on all needs and quality issues to ensure that all expectation will be met and the main aim of the project which is to tackle discrimination against LGBTI in the health care field, while increasing awareness of society for the rights of LGBTI people in the healthcare services and contributing to their protection by addressing policy gaps through propositions of policy change will be achieved.<< Implementation >>The overarching aim of our project is to promote knowledge, skills and attitudes by diminishing the competency gaps of HEI healthcare undergraduate students and healthcare professionals regarding the clinical assessment, appropriate treatments and communication with LGBTI individuals. This aim will be achieved through the following activities:•Project Management activities and Coordination, to ensure effective management of resources, time and budget and a good communication with the consortium and all the participants. Moreover, 4 Transnational meeting will carry out to support the implementation of the INSIGHT project and build a close and trustful interaction between the partners.•Quality Assurance activities, to regular monitor and evaluate the progress.•A Good Practices guide (PR1) on LGBTI-friendly, inclusive provision of Healthcare services, to foster equality and enhance the protection against health inequalities that LGBTI individuals experience and strengthen the effort to build an equal Union. •The design and development of the INSIGHT Microlearning Programme (PR2), to provide a relevant, targeted and engaging skills development, learning programme that can be sustained after the end of project delivery.•The INSIGHT Massive Open Online Course (PR3), to promote high quality, learner-centred lifelong learning that involves the learner in its development, allows for learner autonomy, is flexible and engaging.•Dissemination activities: Stakeholder Identification, dissemination Plan, INSIGHT project Website, INSIGHT Social Media Channels, dissemination materials, 6 multiplier events and a Final Conference, etc.. Those activities will contribute to the INSIGHT project’s goals and stimulate policy initiatives that empower the health sector in every country to become acceptable and supportive for LGBTI people, but also raise the awareness of all participants and of the public.•Exploitation activities, in order to establish the appropriate actions and ensure that all project’s results stay available and accessible for all interested users, also after the conclusion of the INSIGHT project.<< Results >>The INSIGHT project will give the possibility to HEI healthcare students and current healthcare personnel to fight the dearth of the appropriate knowledge and competences regarding LGBTI Health inequalities, their background, the terminology, their needs and the appropriate treatments. To accomplish that the following project results will be designed and delivered: •PR1: Good Practices Guide: The major aim is to develop of a Good Practices Guide which identifies what kind of support does HEI healthcare undergraduate students and current healthcare professionals need in order to embrace LGBTI people and have a positive impact on their wellbeing. The input of this Guide can be used also as a part of other training courses. •PR2: INSIGHT Microlearning Programme: This learning material will respond to the target group’s needs and willingness to improve the healthcare system and establish innovative initiatives that will lead in more inclusive and equal treatments. The course will include 4 modules that will address the well-being but also the physical health issues that may occur to LGBTI people’s lives. •PR3: INSIGHT MOOC: A freely accessible Virtual Learning Environment containing the learning material, workshops, virtual activities and a community forum which allows interactions and communication.Other expected results of the INSIGHT project such as Newsletters, Press releases and sharing and promotion materials will summarize the content and objectives of the project and ensure the exploitation and sustainability of the project’s goals and expected results. Finally, future partnerships and collaborations will be enhanced.

<< Background >>According to the Final Report Overview of Family Business Relevant Issues by Kmu Forschung Austria (January 2009), conducted on behalf of the European Commission, across Europe about 70 % - 80 % of enterprises are family businesses. Their contribution to EU’s economy is of great importance given the fact that they account for about 40 % - 50 % of European employment, according to the same report. Yet few emphasis has been put to the study of this business model. A gap has been spotted in the existing literature that focuses exclusively to Family Business. According to article with title ‘Family Business research in the European Context’ published in European J. International Management, (Vol. 9, No. 2, 2015) most of the existing family business literature has been developed within a North American context. There is few or inadequate research conducted in the European context regarding this type of business despite the fact that It constitutes one of the most significant form of business organisation in Europe. This project aims to fill the gap in what owners, members, managers and employees of Family Business know about their institution and its very own characteristics that differentiate them from other types of businesses. The contribution of the SFaB-MOOC programme will be to meet the special needs of a family business by providing scientific knowledge, methodological tools and applied best practices to train family and non-family members of the business and thus optimize the overall performance.Family Bussiness's significant role in EU’s economy highlights the need for further focus to those type of business management. Τhere is an imperative need for training and capacity building especially for the personnel of the aforementioned categories of enterprises. This will be achieved with the SFaB-MOOC programme, through a five-module course that will be centered on: FAMILY BUSINESS & SPECIAL CHARACTERISTIS, SUCCESSION, THE ROLE OF WOMAN IN THE FAMILY BUSINESS, CORPORATE GOVERNANCE & FAMILY GOVERNANCE MECHANISMS (FGM), and FAMILY BUSINESS STRATEGY.Furthermore, the gap in the existing literature regarding Family Businesses in Europe will be reduced thanks to the Toolkit that will attribute with a presentation of successful examples, good practices and the highlights of the theory. This project’s result (Toolkit) could be used irrespective of the SFaB-MOOC programme and could still provide those who will read it, with valid and high-grade knowledge about the topic<< Objectives >>The aim of the SFaB proposal is to develop a framework for learning and understanding the nature, importance, and uniqueness of family business within the EU. While a significant number of EU’s enterprises belong to this type of Business, it has been stressed by the literature that regardless of the size or type of the Business, the challenges they are facing are common. The need to overcome those challenges and at the same time to adequately qualify their staff wishes to be met with the implementation of this project.The specific objectives of the proposal are to:-Combine the know-how and experience of its consortium in order to create the best possible outcomes regarding the Project's RESULTS.-Create an original and innovative educational tool, Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on Family Business Management that will help participants understand this type of Enterprises specific needs and challenges. It will cover the needs of the personnel and will also work as a guide for improving strategies and ensuring sustainability.-To provide through the MOOC certification and alongside other E+ tools (ECVET), a practical way of proving one’s capacity on the Family business Management. -Support Family businesses in identifying possible threats and dangers for their enterprise and providing them with ways of dealing with them or overcoming the risk.-Informing professionals from the fields of sustainability, economics, and generally the business world about Family Businesses, their role, and its importance within the EU market. -Explore new opportunities and possibilities for cooperation as a crucial part of doing business.- Promote the lifelong learning dimension of higher education including innovative ways of learning (MOOC programme).<< Implementation >>The overarching aim of our project is to adapt vocational education and training to labour markets needs.
