"CONTEXTThe ""Europe City Teller - cultural mediation and storytelling for tourism, between theater, multimedia and storytelling"" project (acronym ""EU-ACT"") operated within the renewed context, which sees policies in the European cultural tourism sector, adapt to the new trends of tourists in search of authentic cultural experiences, with the aim of developing a quality offer, promoting local habits and customs, paying attention to sustainability, protecting and enhancing the local heritage, landscapes and culture. The EU-ACT project is part of the transnational strategy on cultural tourism promoted by the European Commission, which aims to implement a series of activities to promote transnational tourism skills and products in relation to specific issues with significant growth potential and respond to concerns social, territorial cohesion and protection / enhancement of natural and cultural heritage. AIMSSpecifically, EU-ACT has set itself the main objective of transferring new knowledge and skills in the field of cultural mediation and theatrical and digital storytelling to operators, educators and mediators, with the aim of co-creating new tourism products. marketable cultural heritage.EU-ACT accompanied the creation of these products, through international experiences, promoted by a strategic partnership, made up of organizations expert in the fields of theater, design and digital programming, of storytelling methodologies applied to cultural heritage, coming from Italy, Poland, Hungary, Germany and the UK.The partnership developed and shared the good practices developed by the individual organizations, to create a collective working methodology.The project had a total duration of 33 months (having had an extension of 6 months granted by INDIRE NA due to the covid-19 pandemic), and has developed:- training activity- various project meetings (some in presence, one in mixed mode and one exclusively online due to the pandemic),preparatory to the creation of three intellectual products, subsequently presented in the context of multiplier events that each partner organized in their own country (in presence and / or online) and which were aimed at a wide audience, far exceeding the numbers foreseen in the project and almost doubling them altogether. DEVELOPED PRODUCTS The project produced the following 3 intellectual products: 1. Live interpretation: path of theatrical visits, with ""guides"", who in historical clothes, tell the main points of historical-artistic interest of the European cities involved 2. An online platform with an in-depth analysis of the contents produced by the project (to encourage the experience both before and after the events) 3. An augmented reality APP, for mobile devices, connected to a paper / game guide, to: - enjoy the contents created in real time - lead the public to discover the imagined route with video animations and audiotours. IMPACTThe project activities have generated a great impact in terms of acquiring new skills and interest from the public and the media, as well as knowledge and experience in the field of cultural heritage enhancement and promotion. RESULTS The project succeeded in: 1. implementing new training methodologies 2. increasing knowledge of the European cultural heritage 3. giving access to the European cultural heritage through the web 4. increasing accessibility to the European cultural heritage through digital technologies 5. transferring educational methodologies"

"The project “MADE in EU”, which was prepared by five NGOs from four EU countries (Lithuania, Italy, Poland, Greece) aimed to contribute to the goals of the ""Europe 2020"", promoting inclusive growth and cohesive society, through the exchange of best practices, experiences, methodologies and strategies in adult education in order to propose necessary skills and constant knowledge updates for vulnerable groups. The duration for the project was 2 years. The result of rapid change in XXI century is that some particularly vulnerable or disadvantaged groups (long-term unemployed, immigrants, minorities, adults drop out from the labor market, unskilled, digital illiterates, people with psychological distress, etc) are excluded from the market. Many studies conducted at European level show that it is necessary to increase the number of adults involved in lifelong learning, in order to reduce unemployment, social exclusion, lack of confidence in themselves and in the institutions. In order to increase the number of adults involved in lifelong learning, as well as the quality of the training provided, the partners of “MADE in EU” project aimed to deepen and experience in their local contexts, methods and approaches, able to create interconnection between formal, non-formal and informal learning and share best practices, concerning adult education. The partners worked locally to identify small ""vulnerable"" groups of adults excluded or de-motivated to take part in lifelong learning (target groups). Training needs of target groups were identified in terms of key and soft skills: communication skills, digital competence; learning to learn, social and civic competences, sense of initiative and entrepreneurship, cultural awareness and expression. Obstacles and reasons for which the target groups are excluded or not motivated to take part in lifelong learning were analyzed; best practices and innovative methods in the field of adult education were exchanged and studied (in particular peer to peer approaches; learning by doing and the andragogical model), also presented shortly in the project website, Facebook page, Booklet and the APP that can be downloaded and publicly used by education community."

The main goal of Green Routes is to create a toolkit to promote sustainable solutions and trends in urban areas. The toolkit will be created through the three intellectual outputs and the training methodology. The Promenade theatre and storytelling Input Training will produce scenarios for both live and virtual AR educational tours on topics connected to sustainability. The scenarios can be used by educators to perform the tours - the training plans will be documented in a paper guide book. The virtual tours can be experienced through an AR app, which will interplay as well with the guide book. All products and educational guidelines, plus the practices and experiences gathered in the training will be stored in the Green Routes Online Tour and Learning Hub, a one-stop-shop for any educator, individual or entrepreneur interested in green education in the chosen cities. Green Routes is following the approach of educational tours. The method using journeys (trips) with the educational purpose has been established in pedagogical science a long time ago. However, the common approach to the concept „educational tourism” is still not established in Europe. Also, the problem of how to make the optimum use of the method in order to build the professional competence of learner is present, and the topic is scarcely reflected in the pedagogical literature. The concept of „educational tourism” is relatively new, so it has to be defined, its content should be outlined, and the classification structure should be specified by developing criteria for its efficient use in the training of adults in line with the needs of the labour market, esepcially keeping in mind the aim of sustainable recovery after the COVID19 crisis, as outlined by the European Commission.Spefically adult education is a driver in the interconnections of the three dimensions of sustainable development (economic, social and environmental) and can contribute to the UN’s 2030 Agenda. There is a real need for education for sustainable development, and especially non-formal education has a very high impact. Green Routes is adressing this gap by prociding and innovative, digital tool kit for an important topic which will be at the core of the EU in the upcoming years as we address the priority on working on environmental and climate goals with inclusive green education. The project activities are imagined to generate a big impact in terms of new skills acquisition, knowledges and experiences in the branch of promotion and valorisation of environmental education. The project participants will acquire a wider perspective about methodologies applied to sustainable solution on a European level. The impact will be monitored and steered through the described evaluation tools and measures.We expect all participants of the project to be conscious about being more sustainable as a community, organizations and individuals. We expect them to be ready to share their new knowledge, to teach and encourage others and to get involved.

"""INTEGRATION BY SOCIAL AND DIGITAL LEARNING"" (ISDL) CONTEXT/BACKGROUND Migration is considered the most important issue of the century. Every year millions of people all around the world are forced to abandon their homes because of different displacement reasons such as; poverty, war, persecution social and political exclusion or searching for a better life. All European countries are affected, directly or indirectly, by this migrant flow. More than 43 million people worldwide are now forcibly displaced, the highest number since the mid-1990s. As our societies are becoming more various because of migration tendencies, more people started to live in multicultural societies. The increasing number of refugees’ population call the need for some issues such as social integration, tolerance, non-discrimination, solidarity, public health etc. Most of the migrants are unemployed and this difficult situation is affecting social engagement and integration. Also, the unemployed people that are not migrant are showing the same problems in the full integration and on the needs to increase the skills both social and digital for better employability. EMERGING NEEDS Migrants and unemployed need to increase the knowledge and skills about: - cultural sensitivity in order to be more integrated into society - active citizenship in order to feel part of a larger and new context where to live in - digital literacy to increase the employability and also extend the adult education thanks to ICT tools PATHWAY Exchange and transfer of Good Practice examples with practical details about its possible use and effective implementation. The OER outputs are going to be used by educators of ADULT MIGRANTS and UNEMPLOYED. The selected TOPICS are: - Active Citizenship and Community Building - Cultural Awareness - Open Government - Urban Sharing Lifestyles - Social Communication Methodology - Digital Literacy - Digital Education OUTPUTS/RESULTS The project aimed to: • Produce a PRELIMINARY REPORT about the state of art of the integration and employment policies in partners' countries; • Explore and discover successful GOOD PRACTICE examples about European cases of integration by social and digital learning (covering all the above-mentioned topics) – available in all Partners’ national languages; • Stimulate a change in adult education thanks to the EXPLORATION OF INCLUSIVE AND INNOVATIVE APPROACHES to social and digital inclusion; • Transfer the of knowledge about effective methodologies and approaches during a JOINT STAFF TRAINING EVENT. The event aims to train selected staff (adult educators from partner's institutions) about some interesting topics: active citizenship, creativity in urban areas, social communication methodology for the integration, digital education and community building; • Create a WEBSITE integrated with Blog and Social Networks containing MATERIALS TRANSLATED into all partners’ National languages to promote and encourage extensive exploitation and dissemination; • Disseminate the project outputs and results throughout the EU with a database of OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES available through open licences; • Create a NETWORK at the international level aimed to share and compare ideas, practices and methodologies. PARTICIPANTS Each partner organisation were involved with some participants as follows: - 1 per Transnational Project Meeting (adult educator) - 2 during the Joint Staff Training Event (adult educator and/or trainer) - 5 or more during the Dissemination activities as Adult Educators (adult educators, trainers, trainee and volunteers). IMPACT ENVISAGED The partnership brought together partners coming from several countries and their stakeholders, with the synergic power to reach a very large and diverse audience, thanks also to an intensive dissemination campaign. The results, made as Open Educational Resources, are ready for large exploitation mainly at a local level but also at regional and national levels."
