"With the worsening of the global climate situation and the current lack of effective measures at both national and international level to remedy them, thousands of people all over the world have started to take action to find solutions ""from below"" and raise awareness among their local populations on these issues.Young people are still not sufficiently informed and trained on the risks of climate change and on the strategies and lifestyles possible today to achieve sustainable development. This is a problem of strategic importance for humanity, as highlighted by the program launched at the end of 2015 by the United Nations, focused on 17 objectives to be reached for 2030, adopted by European Commission (22.11.16) and EU document (roadmap for resource efficient europe), postulating to create a sustainable European economy by 2030.Lo scopo del progetto è fornire, attraverso il lavoro di un team transnazionale, un insieme coerente di informazioni per aiutare i giovani a sviluppare una mentalità un atteggiamento proattivo orientato verso l'obiettivo di un'Europa sostenibile.

"The experts of associations and organizations who work with immigrant children often have to develop intervention strategies, on an effective social inclusion, which mainly involve a strong commitment in the field of non-formal language training. Immigrant children, exclusively for socio-cultural reasons, can be considered individuals with special educational needs. The main objective of “European Network for Social Inclusion - ENSI"" project was to compare the methods adopted in the different partner countries in order to develop a language learning model that can be used independently of the children's country. Specific Objectives: • Promoting the exchange of best practices among social workers in the field of non-formal language training of immigrant children. • Promoting the recognition of non-formal and informal learning in the adult education field. • Enhancing the international dimension of activities in the adult education field. • Enhancing the role of parents and educators in no formal sector and organizations such as support structures for social inclusion of children and teenagers with special educational needs.The partnership was involved in a national research on the issue of learning difficulties and social inclusion of children and adolescents with learning difficulties. The analysis covered the legislative, methodological, pedagogical and socio-educational aspects with reference to the activities of each partner concerning the experiences with children and adolescents with BES.The first important moment of comparison of the project was the first Short-term joint staff training event ""(TC1), held in Palermo (Italy) which involved 33 experts, educators, social workers, coming from the partner countries who shared through a informal methodology the most significant best practices adopted in each country.This comparison was followed by an implementation phase in each partner country of the best practice chosen by each partner group, the results of which were shared during the second ""Short-term joint staff training event"" (TC2), in which 33 participants transferred their experiences and feedback.At the end of the project, ""International Center of Cultures UBUNTU"" partner took care of the final draft of the Research Handbook, which collected the final results of the activities, of the experiences achieved during the project.During all the lifecycle of the project, the partnership promoted the activities and results through 18 dissemination seminars in the partner countries which reached about 400 people.ENSI project involved n. 6 organizations, from 5 european countries:People Help the People (Italia) - ApplicantAsociacion Amigos de Europa (Spagna)Asociatia Fluturele Visator (Romania)EURO-training (Bulgaria)Fundacja Family Center (Polonia)Centro Internazionale delle Culture UBUNTU (Italia)."

In a European context, in which it is increasingly clear that the so-called 21st Century Competencies are essential to understand and peform in the world today, we find groups that for various reasons do not participate in activities aimed at developing these competences. Since 2017, the European Commission (after public consultation) highlighted the key importance of 3 competences: mathematical competences, literacy and digital competencies.Some key data allowed profiling the main target group of the project: adults. For example, about 55 million adults between 15 and 65 have difficulties with reading-writing in their own language; 24% of the EU population have a level 1 or below in maths (on the five-point scale); and 44% of Europeans have no basic digital skills.On the other hand, the technological innovation that has broken into the last decades implied structural changes that decisively influenced virtually all areas of our lives. Technology changed the way we relate with others, our habits and lifestyles, our way of understanding and enjoying leisure time and also our way of learning and teaching.Thus, the App4skills project focused on the development of a web application that allows, in a playful-educational context, to improve the basic skills of European adults in mathematics, literacy and digital skills.The project focused its activities towards the fulfillment of the following objectives:- Improve creativity and develop in students the ability to create new problems / activities, ask questions and share relevant ideas.- Improve students' perception of learning mathematics, improve their literacy skills and promote their digital skills, increasing their interest, motivation, flexibility and perseverance, and correcting negative attitudes traditionally linked to lack of trust, low self-esteem or the anxiety that can be generated by formal learning settings.- Prepare students for continuous and autonomous learning, developing critical thinking and promoting equity, social cohesion and active citizenship.- Promote the professional development of adult trainers in basic skills, providing them with a new tool for use in informal and non-formal contexts.The project implementation counted on specialists from five countries (Spain, Finland, Poland, Italy and Turkey), members of the partners' work teams, but also from other local, national and European entities linked to them. Professional networks were activated and dinamysed to obtain valuable feedback for the project.In addition, the project counted on the direct participation of 391 people in the phases of testing of the prototype and in the presentations made in the different multiplier events. All of them representatives of the project's target groups: adults and their trainers.The web application was developed in several phases, which we could summarize in 3: design and development of the prototype, testing with real users, adaptation and inclusion of improvements for the development of the final version.It is worth noting the wide participation of users in the testing phase (159 people, of which 123 were adults and 36 trainers), and the positive feedback received. As an example, we can highlight that 91.82% of the participants considered that the webapp meets their expectations and 91% believed that its design is attractive.In addition to the direct positive impact on these users, the project continuously carried out networking and dissemination actions with the objective of gathering the interest and collaboration of other entities for the use of the webapp, once the project is finished. In this sense, some interesting connections have already been made, and the data recorded in the web application show that the number of activities has increased from 300 published by the partners to 342, which is a sign of their use by third parties.
