"<< Background >>The project ""Inclusion gets viral"" envisions the necessity of integrating students from all social fields in a cultural environment with the purpose of integratingthem in the European patrimony by reaching their origins and by creating their own identity in innovative ways by using modern means of communication such as films, videos etc. In this way, the project will help us discover our origins in new inventive ways and it will stimulate participants creativity.The partner countries involved in the project will be Romania (it will be the coordinator), Portugal, Italy, Spain, Croatia.The project comprises 5 mobilities that gather 5 students (14 to 18 years old), accompanied by 2 teachers, during the next two years, to share experiences and to create innovative works after having observed the other's culture in Romania, Portugal, Spain, Croatia and Italy.The needs that all the partners had identified are: promoting the cultural growth of students in order to develop a positive attitude towards national and European values, developing a European awareness of belonging through significant initiatives of a cultural and educational point of view, identifying common instruments for the search for common origins - history, culture; promoting the cultural heritage of European values; create an anti-discriminatory attitude towards race , sex, age, ability, class, sexuality, language, religion; developing the feeling of belonging to an open, democratic and sustainable society; promoting the social inclusion of disadvantaged social groups (in all the stages of the project, in order to ensure the participation of 50% of the students in this category); strengthening the key competences of citizenship, in particular learning to learn, to design, to collaborate; improving language skills and use foreign languages as languages of communication (English, Romanian, Spanish, Croatian, Portuguese); developing social skills: teamwork, respect, tolerance, adaptability, which will be possible thanks to the tasks they have to accomplish in multicultural groups; building a stronger bond between young people of different nationalities; expanding cultural horizons and educating in multiculturalism; preventing the violence or dropout and save the teenagers from harms of modern times by making them discover the cultural background of the 5 partner countries.<< Objectives >>The aim of the project is to make pupils aware of the cultural richness of the European Union which unites all countries through the common values that we share: respect for human rights and their dignity, freedom, equality, democracy, respect for the rights of persons belonging to minorities. The project aims also to integrate literature, arts, geography, history into transdisciplinary activities outside the classroom.Our project objectives:1. to help 25 students from 4 European countries, with a social disadvantaged background, with limited access to culture, to find their balance for a good integration into a multicultural society during the next 2 years.2. to integrate literature, arts, geography, history into transdisciplinary activities outside the classroom for 100 students from each partner.4. to provide a new hobby. A target group of 100 students will study on how they can write an effective poem or create a work of art.5. to strengthen the key competences and the citizenship, in particular learning to learn, to design, to collaborate and to participate of 100 students from each partner over the next 2 years.Each mobility will gather together 5 students (aged from 14 to 18 years old), accompanied by 2 teachers, to share experiences and to create their own art after having observed the other's culture in Romania, Portugal, Spain, Croatia and Italy.<< Implementation >>For the project to achieve its objectives, we considered the following 5 types of activities:1. Local activities of students and teachers, made for the purpose of the preparation of LTTAs or after these mobilities.2. Virtual activities. The results of all the activities will be shared both during LTTAs and on Twinspace3. The following LTTAs:C1. Sharing traditions - a way to inclusion with the following objectives: raise awareness of one's own culture and customs; Prevention of school dropout through creativity; Promoting and consolidating the cultural and unique parameters of each country; Promoting active citizenship and intercultural dialogue, in Romania in February 2022C2. Let`s be creative! (Raising Awareness of one's creative potential and exploring it, improving social skills like cooperation and communication, developing team spirit, improving education through creativity), in Croatia in May 2022C3. Country map craft, objectives:- raising awareness of the surrounding environment,- exploring the natural landscape and the surroundings, - taking advantage of natural resources in order to create works of art, in Spain in September 2022C4. Let’s make history come alive, the objectives: raising awareness of the historical background where one belongs, exploring the past as a means of understanding the present and the future, taking advantage of historical names in order to self discover, in April 2023 in ItalyC5. Let’s bring literature to life with the following objectives: national literature paves the path to self-discovery, encouraging communication and cooperation, building team spirit, promoting independence and self-awareness, promoting and consolidating the cultural and unique parameters of each country, promoting active citizenship and intercultural dialogue, in June 2023 in Portugal.4. The dissemination results activities and follow-up.5. Management activities, including monitoring and evaluation activities.As for the methodology used, students will create in a playful and safe environment (face to face and online on eTwinning), authentic materials. They will work in multicultural teams and they will learn by practicing together, they will be engaged in pear learning. They will reach a high level self-discovery of their own identities and they will train themselves in social inclusion activities.<< Results >>The expected results: making students aware of their national culture and integrating it in new creative ways by using modern means of communication such as TIK TOK videos, integrating students from disadvantaged categories in creative activities in order to promote a common European conscience and an inclusive education.The desired impact: the integration of students with different cultural backgrounds in a cooperative environment reaching a higher level of a common European heritage and citizenship.76 students (aged from 14 to 18 years old), accompanied by their teachers, will share experiences and will create their own art after having observed the other's culture in Romania, Portugal, Spain, Croatia and Italy. They will have a pathway to positive outcomes such as further learning and higher self-esteem, they will be more optimistic about their future and opportunities will be supported to acknowledge and make space to deal with any personal, social and emotional/wellbeing issues and challenges which influence lifestyle choices, behavior and decision making, increase motivation and commitment and shared responsibility for progress.Students and teachers will develop their skills and methodology especially during these activities. Meeting their peers they will experience the idea of European citizenship working in an international environment and will train their entrepreneurship, ICT, language and teaching skills while working on the activities.Students and teachers will also be introduced to representatives from the town administration and town council, if possible during a reception or discussion at the town hall (especially when preparing for the public debate). This will enable students to experience life in the different cities, meet experts and get more and deeper insights relevant to the project, from which the project results will benefit a lot. Furthermore, the students will also be able to compare and contrast the different cities, which will also significantly add to their results. The expectation is that students will create and put forward a proposal for local councils as result of their research and recognizing needs of the communities.During the activities students will work in mixed, international groups helping each other with tasks and sharing their methodological and language competences as well as their knowledge, which will help to develop their skills further. The teachers from different countries will have to create innovative tasks and developnew methodological approaches to their teaching while also sharing and comparing their national approaches and experience. Finally, in order to further develop their language (students) and methodological skills (teachers), students and teachers will be given the opportunity to take part in or observe some lessons at the host school during the meetings.Pupils will be aware of the cultural richness of the European Union which unites all countries through the common values that we share: respect for human rights and their dignity, freedom, equality, democracy, respect for the rights of persons belonging to minorities.The expected results of the project will therefore be: Students will become more confident in themselves when creating videos to promote their own cultural heritage such as arts, traditions, gastronomy, literature. They will also become more proficient in English as they will have to use this language when producing authentic materials. Students will better develop communicative skills as they will interact with one another in a collaborative and a supportive way. The project will bring generations of teenagers closer through aspects of culture and traditions specific to their own country by connecting people through language, cultural dimensions and the idea of belonging to a common European heritage."

CONTEXT‘Considerably lower employment rates are observed for women than men’ .. ‘Particular attention needs to be given to women [and] older workers.’ (Eurostat, December 2014). Older women are disadvantaged in the labour market for complex reasons that include age and gender discrimination, low skills/qualifications, caring roles etc. BREW aims to improve older women’s economic inclusion through its training Toolkit that combines training in entrepreneurship and digital skills with resilience and confidence building supported by a guide on engaging this target group. OBJECTIVES* Creation of the BREW Toolkit, comprising: - Training in enterprise and digital skills that embed resilience and confidence building (IO1)- BREW's Outreach, Engagement and Planning Guide (IO2 and incorporating element of IO3)* The pilot of the toolkit with 178 older women and 16 practitioners for an average of 25 hours per learner (IO1/IO2)* Creation of the project platform for the Toolkit * Delivery of a training workshop for to enable partners’ staff to carry out the BREW programme.* Wide dissemination via the project’s website, social media, multiplier and other events: reaching an audience of 12,000+. * Securing BREW’s sustainability through: 1) a follow-on project, ‘ADVANTAGE’ inspired by BREW which includes the BREW toolkit as part of the resources available through its peer mentoring community platform for older women; 2) further related programmes aimed at this target group. PARTICIPANTSOlder women who experience many barriers to economic inclusion, e.g.:* Discrimination (gender/age)* Caring responsibilities* Lack of visibility to policy makers* Lack of confidence and ambivalent relation to ambition, money and risk,* Low skills and lack of up-to-date training and qualifications* Less willing to take risks because of financial commitments* Lack of relevant information/ advice and participation in business networks* Social and economic isolation DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES AND METHODOLOGYBased on the research carried out for the application, we knew that that women in this age group are often neglected in terms of training tailored specifically to their needs. We had already identified enterprise skills, social media and self-confidence and resilience as key areas for the project’s ‘toolkit’ as well as information and advice on engaging this often hard-to-reach target group. We carried out further needs analyses in each country to refine those topics most needed in these main areas of the toolkit. Each partner then took responsibility for creating a specific aspect of the kit: ALPE for social media and marketing, SEC for enterprise and WCLL for confidence building and resilience. ABN took on the development of the project’s Guide to Engagement including advice on setting up similar programmes. The first year of the project was spent in researching and developing the Toolkit and training programme, culminating in a joint staff training workshop in October 2019 for 10 trainers. The final year was spent in piloting and refining the toolkit. The Covid 19 pandemic meant that ABN and WCLL were unable to complete all of their planned pilot workshops within the original timeframe of the project and a 6-month extension was approved to enable them to do so. The budget for the proposed project platform (IO3) was not approved by the UKNA. It therefore consists of a Google Site linked to the basic project website and is not as versatile as originally foreseen. However, the tools and resources are freely and readily accessible to all and are having a real and lasting impact on many of our participant’s lives. The project has been particularly important to many of them throughout the pandemic which affected the second half of the project as one of its key pillars – building resilience – has been an essential part of everyone’s lives throughout the past very challenging 15+ months.KEY RESULTS AND IMPACTS* The BREW toolkit - a model of training and development that is economic, sustainable and transferable to other sectors and disadvantaged groups. * Partners’ deepened understanding of the importance of embedding resilience generally in teaching and learning.* 100% of participants felt their resilience and confidence had been improved and a range of progression outcomes into enterprise and training also achieved.* Development of educators’ professional competences and understanding of this group* Wider understanding of the application of engagement strategies for this target group. * The potential to extend the length of some participants’ working lives * Potential improvement wellbeing of participants * Enrichment of aspects their personal lives * contribution to partners’ local and regional objectives of widening the participation of disadvantaged groups in education and the labour market: * potential savings in pension/unemployment benefits by providing more opportunities for older people to work.

"<< Background >>The labor market is constantly evolving. The skills and qualifications required change over time. In order to face change, you need to be equipped with different skills. Europe's digital transformation will see an acceleration with the rapid development of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, robotics, cloud computing and blockchain (""chain of blocks"").Digitization affects the way people live, interact, study and work. Although from the digital transformation many opportunities are emerging, currently the greater risk is given by a poorly prepared society to face the future.<< Objectives >>OBJECTIVES- promote a high level of employment through the creation of a competent, qualified and adaptable work force for economic change;- support and strengthen the development of key competences for all, starting from a young age and throughout life;- promote the acquisition of skills in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), taking into account links with economic sustainability and the environment;- facilitate the acquisition of skills by promoting multiple learning approaches and contexts, also with the appropriate use of digital technologies in education, training and learning;- provide support to all learners, including those in disadvantaged conditions or with specific needs, so that they express their full potential;- Provide innovative tools and skills to trainers<< Implementation >>In line with the most advanced processes in the world of makers, Arduino, 3D printers, digital manufacturing, and 4.0 industry, the project aims to provide high-quality digital skills, and to encourage entry or return to the world of work.To achieve these goals and focus on innovation, the partnership has identified a specific field of intervention: the recovery of obsolete machinery through Arduino. This will happen thanks to the development of 3 main PR:PR1 Experts Program Toolkit.The objective of this IO is to create a training material that provides the project’s target groups with high quality knowledge and skills needed to modernize existing machineries in order to make them “smart” and more adapted to the nowadays requirements of the manufacturing industry.PR2 ICT Tool for Competence Assessment (incl. User’s guide of the ICT tool).The main aim of the ICT tool for Competence Assessment will be to evaluate the knowledge and starting skills of the target group, identification of the needs of the specific target groups that need to be addressed in order to provide them with useful skills so that they can enter the world of workPR3: Gamified e-learning PlatformThe ""Gamified e-learning Platform"" will serve as an open education digital platform for the provision of the training material developed throughout the project. In this way the targetgroup formed will be able to exploit the knowledge acquired to modernize the machinery present in various production sectors and no longer used. Will be able to enter / return to the labor market, thanks to new innovative skills that will acquire in the field of electronics, computer science, interaction design, ect.<< Results >>The project aims to increase of the capacity and competency level of the target groups; increase in specialized professionals in the sector and improvement of working conditions;change of mentality towards social, ethnic, linguistic and cultural diversity; increase of competencies linked to the professional profile; development of relevant digital competences andskills for needed to modernize existing machineries in order to make them ""smart""; improvement of recognition processes and validation of skills acquired by non-formal and informallearning activities with the use of European reference tools; greater exchange of innovative practices in the field of vocational training and labor policies; increased mobility in theworkplace and sharing of the underlying principles of circular economy."
