The COVID-19 epidemic is having a fundamental impact on the European cultural and creative industry which is especially true for vulnerable groups like artists with minority background. To reduce the damage and draw attention to the problem, we want to create a cross-sectoral educational cooperation that introduces the culture and art of European minorities (religious, linguistic, ethnic, cultural) to young people through innovative and creative art educational methods. Our project has two main objectives: strengthen the creativity and socio-education of youth with online audiovisual production, and support the minority members of the European cultural sector with creative social media campaigns. We live in a social-media dominated world, which is particular true to the younger generations who were born into the digital world. The youth need to be taught how to orient themselves in this virtual space to acquire life and to be able to create real value in it. The program helps the preparation for innovative digital education under which we place particular emphasis on the development of digital and creative skills and competencies of the participants by tweaking of audiovisual content, refine the specificities of new media phenomena (how to be a value-oriented influencer) with individual needs and the novel use of art education in an online collaboration space. Moreover, the EU is a mosaic of cultures and traditions forming a community of diverse citizens united by their common core values. Every European minority is an integral part of this mosaic; cultural heritage is recognized as an important expression of cultural diversity that deserves protection.Target groups of the project: European youth, people working with youth, European artists or art groups with minority background. Indirect target groups: European minorities, members of the European creative and cultural industry (audiovisual and other), general public. We would like to reach minimum 345 people directly and 5000 indirectly in Europe.The expected objectives of the project:- to strengthen solidarity and tolerance in European youth- to help in preserving the traditions and culture of European minorities and nationalities- to support the European cultural and creative industry with innovative online campaigns and practical creative skills development of youth- to develop a voluntary and self-support online educational network for youth and citizens with minority backgrounds in a long-term- to help educators working with youth to prepare their group members for the global and social challenges in the futureIn order to reach our expected results, partners will create specific EDUfluencer activities and outputs, able to be adapted by any stakeholder, based in the following elements:-EDUfluencer Course for Creativity and Preserving Culture: developing the knowledge and skills of people working with youth in the fields of boosting creativity and social inclusion with innovative art education.-EDUfluencer Minority Culture Descriptor: standardized tool to learn about the culture and tradition of European minorities in detail-EDUfluencer Guidance for Audiovisual Production: to boost quality and innovation of youth work that support the creative potential of youth, and improve audiovisual production skills and competences-EDUfluencer Creative Workshop: put learned theory into practice and test it, creating short videos about local minority artists/art groups-EDUfluencer Public Awareness Campaign: a unique audio-visual based social media campaign utilizing innovative digital technologies designed and run by the young people together with the invited minority artistsRelated activities to test the outputs:-Pilot course for youth workers -Pilot workshops for youthRelated multiplier and cultural events:-EDUfluences Film Festival and Youth Conference (in Hungary)-EDUfluencer National Seminars (in four other countries)With the implementation of the project we expect the following impacts on the various levels:- Enhance social commitment and acceptance of diversity- More resilient and well-prepared European creative and cultural sector- Develop media-literacy, creativity and conscious use of social media- Promotion of equity and inclusion of European minorities

The digital revolution is boosting demand for digital skills and competences, thus requiring investment in infrastructure, organisational change, digital devices and digital competences of educators, and the creation of digital (and open) educational resources and high quality educational software. Education and training should reap the benefits of new ICT developments and adopt innovative and active pedagogies. Learning can't anymore be confined to specific classroom and timetables but take full advantage of technology to break boundaries.The GODIGITAL project came to promote the above as it aimed to design, develop, pilot-test and evaluate a complete tool kit to support primary schools to develop their schools digital development plan in order to upgrade the digital competences of the teachers and as a consequence the digital literacy of the students. It aims to produce 6 Intellectual Outputs which were pilot-tested and reviewed in order to ensure efficiency and effectiveness.The project aimed:- to design a complete TOOL KIT that assisted teachers to upgrade their digital skills and to assist schools to develop digitallyoriented strategies and plans.- to develop the Digital Competence Framework with benchmarks and indicators against which teachers’ practices, knowledge andskills will be assessed and validated through an assessment system to be designed based on the use of the Open Badge and e-Portfolios as a way to introduce transparency, visibility, transferability and validity for the new digital skills acquired.- to deliver a professional development programme for teachers to be offered both on-line and school-based, accompanied with anEducational Pack with adequate teaching material to support their teaching.The above enabled primary school teachers and schools:- to contribute towards the achievement of the targets of the ET 2020, the Digital Agenda, the e-Skills for Jobs Campaign whilemeeting the needs of contemporary education- to provide upgrading opportunities for teachers, in order to empower them to deal with the challenges of new digitaltechnologies, provide quality education and potentially support students for better learning outcomes and equip them withessential skills to bridge the gap between education and the world of work.Project intellectual outputs completed:IO1 - GoDIGITAL Competence Framework for primary schools IO2 - GoDIGITAL: The assessment and validation process for digitally literate teachers and schoolsthrough the use of Open Badges and e-PortfoliosIO3 - GoDIGITAL Educational Pack for Teaching and ImplementationIO4 - GoDIGITAL Learning and Management Platform -IO5-Go DIGITAL From theory to practice: Implementation and evaluation-IO6-GODIGITAL PACK for strategic exploitation and endorsement in Primary Schools - Declaration- Memorandum of Commitment for Digital Literacy in SchoolsSet of webinars were prepared by leader of the project (SAN) about methods and tools of using new technology in teaching in primary schools.C1 and C2 training were conducted in the timelife of the project.

Rural youth employment in the countries of the Eastern Partnership is one of today’s most pressing topics. These countries need innovative solutions to reduce the level of youth unemployment in rural areas and develop entrepreneurial potential in the green economy for a sustainable development.
