"This project’s target group is young adults educators and young adults, age 18-30. It is difficult for young adults to find jobs because they often lack of experience, it is difficult to integrate into continuously changing life and work environment. According to official statistics, the highest unemployment rates were noted in Greece (20.9 percent in 2017) and Spain (16.3 percent), the unemployment rate in Portugal is 7.9 percent, Lithuania – 8.1 percent. Project “Integration of Young Adults into the Labor Market Through Cultural Heritage” will help in getting to know the most important places or traditions of other countries, provide young adults with the necessary information for integration, self-confidence, inspire and motivate them and strengthen the competences for collaboration. For example, while knowing the cultural history and traditions of other country, the project participant would easier integrate into the cultural and social context of other country, will get a job or will create a job place by himself.For this project three objects of cultural heritage are chosen: old-towns, traditional songs and dances, traditional food. The project team is going to promote the cultural values of each country, demonstrate what kind of jobs can be found or created in every area and field of the project. Every partner will ensure the promotion of each project activity to increase the awareness of the project ideas.All the activities will be included into a cognitive, entertaining, educational video, a competition ""Create virtual cultural labor market"" will be organized. International partners were chosen according to their experience in adult education, solving the unemployment issues, being experts in their fields.The project outputs and the project results, conclusions will be represented via social media, internet blog and articles."

"<< Objectives >>The project aims to make a group of young adults acquire/consolidate narrative and digital skills and, at the same time, encourage their active participation in their respective communities, through the creation of videos capable of telling volunteering stories/narratives in collaboration with local associations. A further objective of the project concerns the promotion of youth volunteering and the generational change of association structures.<< Implementation >>The intervention consists of two activities: 1) delivery of a distance learning course, in synchronous mode and in English, on digital storytelling through a virtual classroom to which participants will have access; 2) realisation, in ""national"" subgroups, of digital storytelling products with the involvement of at least three associations from each country.The project includes the dissemination of multilingual video lessons and a final event on a digital platform.<< Results >>At the end of the project, the beneficiaries will see their skills increased with respect to the design and construction of a digital storytelling product, as well as have a greater awareness of the role of the local Third Sector in the promotion of actions to support the community.Furthermore, the usability over time of the online asynchronous course on digital storytelling and volunteer stories told through digital tools will foster the training of new volunteers."

"In the European cooperation in education and training strategic framework “Europe 2020”the member states are invited to successfully integrate all learners into the education system, including those with special needs. The strategic objectives raised in this document speak not only of education for all, but accentuate innovations and creativity at all levels of education. However, not in all fields and countries these objectives are pursued equally . Since the project “TELL through music” aims to develop core competencies through the music as a tool to achieve the goal, the project partners, adult educators were selected so as to comply with all aspects of the project themes, be the experts in the field: language, IT and music. Since the result of the project is an intellectual product, we have selected partners of scientific direction and practical field. So, it is a multidisciplinary partnership, thanks to which the partners complement each other’s actions, collect new best practices, create innovative intellectual products and, with the help of scientists, evaluate and adapt it to adult education.In the course of preparation of the project, the partners have highlighted the general range of problems of the target groups – they consist of seniors coming across with difficulties in learning because of weakened sight and the disabled with vision deficiency. Thus, IT here could serve as a compensation technique, the attractive method of studying English language, arts, and the opportunity to develop the creativity and cultural awareness in adult education. The authors of the project discussed the ways of how to inspire and motivate those adults to lifelong learning and help them to improve their core competencies through artistic means. This implied the objectives of the project:To strengthen the motivation of adult learners to develop core competencies (IT and English language) using music as a didactic tool To renew the competencies of adult educators, music teachers, integrating IT and foreign language teaching methods in music education To improve training and education services provided by the adult education institutions by creative innovative methods, promoting cultural awareness of adults.According these objectives the intellectual products were developed, based on an innovative method ""TELL through Music."" It is handbook, in which the artistic approaches, helping to improve the core competencies of adults, are presented and scientifically based. Based on this book – textbook, the programme for adult educators and interactive material were developed."

The project I-TALES finds its rationale in a context, easy to identify in a lot of contemporary societies, affected by a number of emergencies among which: massing migrations for different causes to the richest countries; fear of diversity and increasing racist behaviors; misinformation and hate speech spread by social networks. So the needs on which we want to intervene are:-urgency of construction of a cohesive community based on mutual respect, collaboration, dialogue, appreciation of cultural diversity -urgency of history education, critical thinking Each partner will work with 25/30 learners. This group is first of all made up of migrants coming from outside Europe or internal to European countries. It will be integrated by students from Art Schools, from Adult Education Centres and other adults, identified in collaboration with Municipalities social services and local associations, who need improve critical thinking, communication, responsibility, positive attitude, interpersonal soft skills, because influenced by misinformation and hate speech against migrants that some political parties, opinion makers, clubs use and social networks spread more and more. A number of musicians, either from partner organizations or external, will be part of the group too Our objectives are:1. To promote long-lasting interaction between the local communities and people/groups of different origins whose aspects are equal dignity of cultures, mutual acceptance, equal exchange, open dialogue2. To develop learners’ critical thinking, creative thinking and new patterns of behavior combating intolerance, discrimination3. To spread the use of creative methods in adult education and develop educators' awareness of their importance in building intercultural dialogueThe project I-TALES -Integration Through Arts Learning to Enhance Society- has at its core “The Arrival” a graphic novel with the TALE of a family journey to the “gold land”. In the six long lasting laboratories planned for the 2 years project, learners will go into deep the family story step by step, from the departure to the arrival in the new country. Through it other TALES will be narrated, first of all the migrants’, and also old migrations stories. Alongside the analysis of the panels of the novel, learners will be involved in a number of different arts and/or crafts-based- activities that will be the medium to express feelings, communicate and interact each other. Reciprocal knowledge and knowledge of the facts will permit to refuse fakes and prejudices in favour of respect and appreciation. Other activities will support their process of integration (language support, intercultural mediation support, sociality support) also with the collaboration of the community through a net each partner will build with some stakeholders active in the social field. Each of the six long lasting laboratories is closely connected, both in the theme and in the organization of the activities, with the corresponding blended mobility that will follow it. In particular music and performing art activities will be started during the virtual mobility through web applications for making music cooperatively and live streaming to learn about the performing art and to be completed during the physical mobility. The project will produce tangible and intangible results. Among the tangible ones there are original music pieces, artworks, artistic performances, exhibitions, workshops, concerts, the project website, a booklet of good practices, digital products, deliverables, a conference. The staff's intangible results include the skills gained by the staff in using the art-based approach in the adult education and in participating in Erasmus+, increased knowledge of the issues affecting refugees and migrants, promotion of processes of social inclusion and intercultural exchange among the other target groups they work with, input to use the arts-based approach in other contents and for different objectives. Concerning learners, they will learn/improve communication skills, ICT skills, collaborative skills, creative and critical thinking skills. They will improve confidence and self-esteem and get better knowledge about the cultural aspects related to the project topic. These results are strategically important because they will impact learners in the exercise of individual and collective rights, in being stimulated to working towards new goals for a better integration in society. Impact on stakeholders and public will be increased awareness of migrants issues that can take to longer benefits at societal/political level such as developing behaviors conductive to dialogue, non violence, appreciation of diversity, breaking down barriers, implementing local and non-local policies based on a shared model of citizenship. We hope to succeed in keeping the partnership with stakeholders alive beyond the end of the project to continue some of the project’s processes, implement new services
