YOUHOOD pretende crear efectos duraderos y positivos en las organizaciones participantes, en las políticas de referencia y en las personas involucradas en las actividades de las organizaciones. Fundación: El barrio de El Rastro es un espacio distintivo en la ciudad de Melilla, antes de un punto próspero en la ciudad, debido a la variedad de culturas (imazighen, hebreos, gitanos). Hoy en día este microcosmos de Melilla, el centro neurálgico del comercio de la ciudad, atraviesa una crisis que conducirá a un profundo declive de no tomar medidas urgentes, medidas creativas que puedan redirigir la situación. En respuesta se da ha dado en el proceso regenerativo de los espacios urbanos un papel principal a artistas jóvenes, con la colaboración del Ayuntamiento de Rotterdam y una asociación artística en Roma (MeP), para trabajar juntos y aprender sobre los barrios y las diferentes culturas, ofreciendo así una serie de ideas ingeniosas para lograr nuestros objetivos a través de un proyecto común. Nuestro proyecto está dirigido a artistas urbanos, plásticos, audiovisuales, artistas en general de estos países para interactuar con artistas locales y juntos: - Interpretar y expresar los símbolos de nuestra cultura en nuestras calles. - Generar espacios públicos de interrelacionación en el barrio. - Realizar estrategias y acciones dirigidas a vincular ciudadanos con artistas. - Realizar acciones específicas dirigidas a resaltar los valores de la interculturalidad. - Aprender sobre emprendimiento y aprovechar sus posibilidades. - Comprender otras culturas. Objetivos: - Presentar a nuestros jóvenes artistas y conocer a artistas de otros países. - Reforzar la pintura mural como una forma interesante de emprendimiento para artistas jóvenes. - Llevar el arte a la calle para interactuar con los vecinos y despertar el interés en diferentes sectores de la población. - Promover la interculturalidad a través del arte. - Promover y fortalecer la identidad del barrio a través de actividades conjuntas con los vecinos. - Obtener una mayor participación ciudadana en torno al arte. - Combatir la islamofobia, la judeofobia y otros tipos de discriminación mediante acciones participativas.

Currently, 1.8 billion of the global population is aged between 15 and 29. While the proportion of youth in Africa is growing rapidly, in Europe it is declining, increasing the burden on young people as they move into work to maintain health and welfare systems. However, young people’s role as a force for global development is undermined by problems of inequality and unemployment. Alongside lack of access to education and employment, their participation in formal politics by is declining. However, civic participation through digital activism, protests and volunteering is growing. The YIPPEE project aimed to introduce the Digital Storytelling (DST) methodology to youth and social workers as a way to engage youths, develop their talent management through job counselling, and tackle inequalities by raising awareness towards global education. In this way, this project gravitates towards three distinct yet significantly interconnected applications for DST: for personal empowerment, job/career counselling, and heightening consciousness towards global issues and the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While at first glance the two may seem unrelated, DST has a profound way of affecting people’s perception of the world around them. For young people, this is a particularly significant means to bring grand and far-off issues close to home.The project was to target young people from more disadvantaged backgrounds who lacked other opportunities to take part in educational trainings, presenting opportunity for them to meet and work with young people from very different parts of the world, to learn new skills, share experiences, deconstruct stereotypes, become aware of contemporary social and political issues, open their minds, change attitudes and stimulate active participation.The project comprised two mobility trainings: one for youth workers which took place in Budapest, Hungary between 3-9 April 2018 and one for youth participants in Baile Tusnad, Romania between 14-20 July 2018 and one Capacity Building activity between 27th January – 2nd February 2019 in Benin. The core elements of the two mobilities were: Team Building, Introduction to SDGs, Digital Storytelling, Job Counselling, Communication and Action, and finally Youthpass and programme evaluations. Participants were selected through an open call by the same criteria based on the mutual agreement of the partners.The CB Activity in Benin introduced participants to the DST methodology, and the SDGs with educational excursions to experience first-hand the impacts of the SDGs by seeing the farmlands and interacting with local youth organisations.Participants shared that the experience made them richer and enabled them to gain skills and perspectives. The project received many positive comments, and instilled empowerment within the participants to succeed in the job market and act on issues in today’s world.The partnering organizations could expand their methodological inventory with new educational approach and tools and also obtained new local and global partners and participants through the local and international activities.The project coordinator: Anthropolis (Hungary) and the partners: ATA (Romania), Credi-Ong (Benin), Global Link (UK) and Melting Pro (Italy) held 22 dissemination events following the mobility events and the capacity building activity.The outputs of the project are: an on-line DST methodological platform, DST Guidelines, 2 training curricula and a number of DST films of participants, news articles, a short documentary film and a journal article.The partner organisations extensively disseminated the results and publicised the project through their own websites and in social media (Facebook, Instagram and Twitter) and the project´s very own website: http://storycenter.info/ and Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Create-Share-Listen-Digital-stories-around-the-world-309926976294303/

The general objective is to overcome the lack of Open Educational Resources (OER) to help trainers and teachers to teach the basics of ICT in a way that goes beyond the simple use. The final beneficiaries targeted by the project are adult learners in non-formal education, but also students from formal education, in need of a holistic discovery of new technologies. The starting point, which motivates the project, is the fact that ICT literacy considers only a limited approach in this field. It showcases the software used in desktop applications (for future professionalizing goals), and services to citizens and consumers (for goals of citizenship and social inclusion). Other important aspects are overlooked, and important dimensions of the society's transformation by new technologies are sometimes ignored. The project aims to involve (basic) ICT trainers and teacher (and all educational staff people) in a different approach, with a wider vision of ICT emergence in our society, and a wider understanding about the way that ICT influence our culture, our professional life and everyday life. It aims to increase the critical thinking about new technologies. It aims to act on usual educative actions about ICT, implemented by regional, national and local governments, by demonstrating its wide openness on different view angles, and its motivational virtue. The project is centred on the production of open educational resources (OERs) to be used for professional purposes in the area of ICT learning, with adults and students. These OERs are structured in 44 lessons in the field of programming, narratives methodologies (storytelling), rich media production (photography, video and sound), and digital. The lessons, representing a 120 hrs course, can be accessed by two different paths: a non-formal course (designed for adult education), structured in 4 themes (audiovisual, storytelling, creative code, digital art), or a formal course (designed for formal students) structured in 3 levels (referring to a Borges’ story) on one single multilingual platform (4cde.eu). A Skills Reference Guide accompany the lessons and the platform includes all educational resources, pedagogical information and assessment processes. Five multiplier events aiming the dissemination of all OERs have been held in all partners countries. Two joint-staff trainings were specifically made in order to help the staff involved in the project to produce the OERs.The project involve 5 partners from 5 countries: a research centre in Art studies of a university (UALG-CIAC, PT), three organizations working with adults, in the field of ICT and Arts, for digital inclusion, and for digital key competencies with job seekers (Perspectives, BE - ADPI, FR - FACT, UK), and an organization active in the field of cultural diffusion to a wide audience (Melting Pro Learning, IT).

"<< Background >>Europe’s building stock is both unique and heterogeneous in its expression of the cultural diversity and history of our continent. Over 1/3 of global final energy demand and almost 40% of overall direct and indirect CO2 emissions are attributed to buildings and the construction industry. This percentage alone is enough to put the sector on the European Union's priority list, which aspires to be the world's first climate-neutral continent by 2050. Within this spirit, urgent climate and environmental-related challenges bring the European Union in the forefront of responding to these needs towards introducing new sustainability strategies that will boost the transformation to a resource efficient and environmentally friendly society. Cultural buildings and the restoration of their historic structures are the epitome of these strategies because of their uniqueness and necessity of their cultural value preservation. Cultural protection rules may be very strict for such buildings, particularly in cases where they not only protect the external appearance of a building but also its dimensions, proportions, and original materials. Among those rules and structures, lighting holds a central point. Adaptive lighting, based on the optimal control and use of natural light, guaranteeing cultural heritage conservation and preventive protection, and recovery of the historical, architectural value. Construction professionals are called to familiarize themselves with such methodologies while also respecting the cultural value of such buildings and listening to the needs of their users. According to the recent Construction Observatory Report and the respective national facts, in Italy, Greece and Poland there are major barriers that are identified in terms of lacking capacity, competences and skills to keep up with the accelerated speed of the building stock restoration movement, and as a result, a lack of preparedness for their various positions as policy leaders, architects, investors, regulators, consultants, motivators, energy providers and suppliers, energy consumers and facilitators.In Italy, for some years now, and especially since the introduction of the ecobonus 110, the Italian legislative framework for building renovation has focused heavily on global thermal renovation, seismic improvement, energy saving and the renovation of building facades. This has an impact on the organisation of construction sites, the work to be carried out and the skills and responsibilities of workers, site managers and team leaders. Adequately in Poland, there is lack of a national long-term renovation strategy while the construction industry is facing staffing problems (an ageing group of skilled workers, a shortage of young workers choosing more financially advantageous job offers, relatively low popularity among young people). Same situation is also met in Greece where there is a severe shortage of skilled labour in the broad construction sector. It seems that the VET system is not yet fit for addressing the current training needs in the renovation and energy efficiency sectors.A neuralgic point to the above professional needs and national contexts within the framework of renovation wave and energy efficiency of the buildings, is the complete absence of the cases of cultural buildings and their value. To this end, the project partners seek to satisfy the need for new curricula within the framework of EU climate change and sustainable lighting by developing the competences of the construction professionals, both blue-collar and white-collar, as they will further acquire new skills and competences in their work environment within the framework of the labor market necessities, coming from the adoption of the recent European policies, i.e., EPBD, Green Deal etc.CultureLights will offer flexible learning opportunities for the target groups in order to grow & gain expertise in a unique field, yielding them to be more competitive in the labor market.<< Objectives >>Cultural buildings and human behavior are linked to environmental issues such as climate change and energy supply. Surpassing the fear of people working in/using cultural buildings linked to the preservation of their value and history is a key element for the work of construction professionals and the overall impact of Renovation wave and the European Climate change strategies.The development of sustainable cultural buildings and the embedding of sustainable features are set to raise awareness of the impact of buildings on the overall natural environment and enable people to positively change their behaviors in terms of environmental and social sustainability in and around their own built environments. Culturelights project aims to support awareness raising about environmental and climate-change challenges, developing green sectorial skills strategies and methodologies of construction and lighting professionals. It focuses mainly on sustainable lighting systems and more specifically, adaptive lighting which also plays the role of a conservation trigger for cultural heritage preventive protection, with the aim of building adaptive reuse. This approach constitutes a tool for sustainable refurbishment, guaranteeing cultural heritage conservation and preventive protection, and recovery of the historical, architectural value. It aims to test innovative practices such as artificial and natural lighting systems within an adaptive re-use of the built environment for both construction and lighting professionals as well as cultural building users, shaping them as agents of change (e.g., save resources, reduce energy use and waste etc.) and enabling behavioral changes for sustainable lifestyles.CultureLights works on a very special and prototype field for the VET industry as, in accordance to partners research during the proposal rafting, such VET training on sustainable lighting systems and more specifically in cultural building, do not exist, at least in the involved countries of Italy, Greece and Poland. To this end, via the design of not one but two VET curricula focusing on both blue-collar and white-collar professional, CultureLights aims to develop flexible, learner-centered VET programmes within the European Renovation wave, destined for the preservation and sustainability of cultural buildings, adjusting also the needs of their users and conserving their value. New educational methodologies and environments will be designed, while sustainable lighting projects will be designed and promoted by the learners and the partnership disseminating the curricula to the VET sector working with construction and lighting professionals.Within the above context, “Culture Lights” aims at shaping the knowledge of both Blue-collar and White-collar construction professionals (see below section) working/about to work in renovation activities of cultural buildings with a specific focus on the design and installation of sustainable lighting systems while also preserving the cultural value of the buildings (Objective 1). Within the same axis, the project further aims at enhancing the interaction between renovation construction professionals and cultural building employees and users (Objective 2), encouraging sustainable behaviors and lifestyles via the exchange of ideas and views on sustainable conservation of the buildings and energy efficiency strategies (Objective 3).<< Implementation >>Activity .1: Project's Initiation phase and Set UpTask .1.1: Preparation of Project Management Mechanism Activity .2: Administrative & Technical Coordination Task .2.1: Coordination and Reporting Task .2.2: Partners' meetingsActivity .3: Quality Assurance, Monitoring and EvaluationTask .3.1: Development of Monitoring and Evaluation SystemTask .3.2: Delivery of the Monitoring and Evaluation SystemActivity .4: Dissemination & Exploitation PlanTask .4.1: Development of a dissemination & exploitation plan Task .4.2: Development of Dissemination Material & activitiesTask .4.3: Events Organization & DeliveryOutput ResultsΟ 1.
