"Le réseau Tandem Plus, créé en 2008, est une organisation à but non lucratif regroupant des organisations publiques et privées de 9 pays de l'UE (FR, IT, DE, TR, PT, DK, HR, GR RO) et de pays tiers (MA - Maroc). Les membres du réseau Tandem Plus sont impliqués dans des actions concernant un public cible vulnérable touché par la pauvreté, l'exclusion sociale et la discrimination : les migrants, les jeunes, les personnes âgées, les détenus, les personnes touchées par la pauvreté ou en situation de précarité. Le réseau dispose d'une expertise variée dans le domaine, proposant par exemple des projets d'insertion sociale et professionnelle organisés autour de la formation et/ou de l'emploi, favorisant l'éducation et la sensibilisation interculturelle, l'égalité, la justice et le progrès, par des actions harmonisées de développement économique, social et culturel, encourageant la solidarité.Le projet ""Compétences clés pour tous"" (KC4ALL) est le résultat des reflections des partnenaires qui ont ressenti le besoin d'un moyen plus structuré de partager les connaissances et le savoir-faire sur le thème des compétences clés pour tous. Toutes les méthodologies et tous les outils créés et partagés, ont été rassemblés dans un recueil en ligne; une plateforme d'échange entre les partenaires qui appartiennent au réseau (mais de libre accès pour tous: www.kc4all.net ) pour apprendre et partager des expériences en mettant particulièrement l'accent sur la contribution au partage des connaissances et des pratiques, des actions d'apprentissage et d'inclusion que chaque partenaire a adoptées pour relever les défis identifiés dans le document COM(2016) 381 final UN ORDRE DU JOUR POUR L'EUROPE EN MATIÈRE DE NOUVELLES COMPÉTENCES.Le project Kc4all se concentre sur deux objectifs interconnectés :1) Renforcer le potentiel transnational du réseau et de ses membres à opérer au niveau local avec la valeur ajoutée de la coopération transnationale, en partageant et en confrontant les systèmes et les solutions, les méthodes et les pratiques qu'ils ont utilisés ou avec lesquels ils opèrent;2) Soutenir la capacité des organisations impliquées et de leurs réseaux locaux à améliorer leur offre de services et leur portée, en particulier pour les cibles ayant des compétences clés plus faibles (notamment les adultes de plus de 45 ans, les adultes et les jeunes ayant un faible niveau d'éducation, les migrants et les réfugiés, les NEETs et les chômeurs de longue durée)Le projet capitalise sur un certain nombre de projets locaux, régionaux et nationaux - y compris certains projets de développement de l'innovation réalisés - indépendamment ou sous forme de consortiums diversifiés par les partenaires du projet.Les produits livrables et l'impact du projet ont été :-4 sessions conjointes de formation/apprentissage sur des aspects spécifiques du développement et des la validation des compétences clés de la durée de 5 jours chacun -4 événements locaux de diffusion organisés au profit des parties prenantes et en présence de participants transnationaux pour partager avec les acteurs externes les principaux contenus/connaissances acquises -5 réunions transnationales de deux jours en présence, chacune axées sur l'évaluation et la consolidation des connaissances et du savoir-faire générés lors des sessions de formation/apprentissage -1 réunion transnationale en ligne dédiée aux partenaires de projet pour évaluer et planifier le déroulement du projet après l’émergence covid19-1 formation en ligne sur les ""compétences digitales pour la vie"" qui a vu un public très varié de professionnels et des bénéficiaires potentiels- 1 événement final en ligne (durée 7 h) qui a retracé les étapes du projet et ses résultats, en les relisant à la lumière de la situation d'urgence covid19 -Une publication électronique d'un recueil général consolidant les résultats du projet et l'expérience partagée (avec matériel en anglais, français, allemand, portugaise, roumain, italien - https://www.kc4all.net/)-Communication de résultats du projet sur le site web de Tandem Plus et résultats ERASMUS + et EPALE comme matériel OER.Les résultats à long terme:-Amélioration de la capacité des organisations partenaires à travailler au niveau transnational, à comprendre la valeur ajoutée des échanges et à coopérer avec d'autres organisations pour améliorer la fourniture de services liés à l'éducation, à la formation et à l'inclusion sociale en ce qui concerne le rôle crucial des compétences clés -Une capacité accrue à développer des stratégies et à identifier les lacunes et les moyens de les combler avec les connaissances acquises-Amélioration de la qualité de la préparation, de la mise en œuvre, du contrôle et du suivi des projets communautaires/internationaux-Une meilleure compréhension des approches, méthodes et pratiques concernant la reconnaissance et la validation du développement des compétences clés dans les pays concernés."

"REC- Professional skills' development for recognition and validation of informal and non-formal competences learning of migrants and refugees & labour market inclusion - focuses on the VET and labor market inclusion of migrants and refugees by trying to find common standards (practitioners’ skills, tools, quality assurance and qualification paths) that are coherent with EU and national/local level requirements. The overall approach foresees two levels of actions/target groups: 1. enhancing and creating transnational professional competences of practitioners and stakeholders of VET in line with EU standards; 2. tools and practice that can make non-formal and informal skills of migrants and refugees visible and comparable, with formal recognition by VET providers and stakeholders, including those responsible for qualifications and employers. The project consortium is made up of an alliance of partners, covering 6 EU countries, and through the participation of two EU-wide networks, the possibility to reach other countries not directly involved, and the EU level. Therefore, it operates at two levels: the majority of partners are operational and 2 partners have a significant role in advisory, dissemination and outreach of stakeholders beyond the partnerships’ territories. The project is embedded in a common European context, where – in spite of different situations – common challenges exist, and the transnational EU- value can support the development of innovative practice and stimulate the local/regional stakeholders (where the transnationally- developed IO will be applied) in line with the following policy framework and current dynamics. VET can do a lot to make of the “migration crisis” a “migration opportunity” for the economy and the persisting mismatch of labour demand-supply especially in some sectors and for some professional profiles and qualifications. The general objective of REC is to reinforce the partners' capability to recognize and equip the most vulnerable groups with the key skills for improving the supply and quality of VET and guidance as a basis of integration into the labour market and qualifications of migrants/refugees. REC uses EU common reference frameworks and tools (such as Europass, ECVET, ESCO, EQAVET, EQF and the recently launched ""EU Skills Profile Tool for Third Country Nationals"") that can facilitate the transfer and the sustainability of the project activities and make them usable in different contexts and countries during and after its completion. The most important results and impact during and after the project’s life cycle are: IO 1 “defining EU profiles and competences of VET providers for recognition and validation of informal and non-formal learning of migrants and refugees” that resulted in a better understanding of practices, policies and systems in each participating countries and partners will use such baseline to develop common standards, liked to EU standards and tools (Europass, ECVET, ESCO) IO 2 “testing and validating the EU profiles to align shared standards with ECVET, EQF and ESCO” resulting in the increased ability of partners and stakeholders to address the needs of the disadvantaged, to provide services for the faster inclusion in VET and labour market of the migrants/refugees, in line with EU and national VET frameworks and objectives. IO 3 “analyzing lessons learned and defining policy recommendations” resulting in a better integration of EU and national standards and practice that can facilitate changes in terms of codification or improvement of policy frameworks at country/regional level IO 4 “making available REC material for practitioners on ICT- based platform” supporting the improvement of the quality of work of practitioners and provides knowledge and tool for opportunities for practitioners and policy makers (also external to the partnership) to improve professional competences for the benefit of migrants/refugees and other vulnerable groups. - 1 short-term joint staff training resulting in the alignment of core competences of practitioners to work on recognition of non-formal and informal skills, use of available tools and EU standards and better appreciation of their professional profiles. - 4 short-term blended mobilities reinforcing the professional profiles of practitioners - 5 national events and one final transnational event, to share and disseminate the results of the project and to promote its approach to external stakeholders - 3 transnational project meetings, to share, evaluate and make strategic decisions on the project’ progress -The ""REC : A book for practitioners"" : a user-friendly, visually appealing and easy to navigate in a form of an interactive document, functioning as an e-book ready to download, and made available in the project website and in the partners’ strongest communication channels Quality Assurance & Evaluation Plan defining the quality and evaluation processes, setting the quality standards for the deliverables and including evaluation questionnaires for the assessment of the project development. REC visibility ensured by the commitment and work of the 2 EU-wide networks."

AGEFACTOR project insists on increasing the competences of educators and professionals in the adult education field to promote them for personal and professional branding. In particular, it targets over 50 age group, with an intergenerational approach to provide digital and transversal skills to create social reputation, professional credibility and to be able to increase the opportunity for lifelong employability.Evidence shows that too many people in the EU still do not have the skills required ranging from the most basic ones to the transversal skills such as communication, problem solving, digital competences, initiative taking etc... EUROSTAT data (digital scoreboard – Eurostat, ICT Households/Individuals Survey) confirm that older generations in many EU countries lag behind in the use of internet and mobile internet.The project capitalizes on the potential of social media as tools for lifelong guidance and employability, working on reinforcement and development of key and transversal (e-)skills of > 50 age groups, also with the involvement of younger generations. In fact, the project intends to create an EU platform for adult educators, trainers and career guidance to make social media - and their value for employability, professional branding and reputation - available to mature workers.The project consortium is made up of an alliance of 10 partners, covering 8 EU countries. Most organizations have a long-standing and complementary experience on the project’s focus. IIt is made of local/regional authorities (Newry and Mourne, Veneto Lavoro and the Development Agency of Santa Cruz of Tenerife) dealing with employment and local development, higher education (University of Latvia, CARDET), adult education and business support providers (Forcoop, IPZ, Prizma, FCI), led by a EU-wide network who work in the field of human capital appraisal in light of demographic changes (Tandem Plus). Adult learners: This is the main target group of the project (over 50 primarily, but with a role also for and younger generations). Adult trainers, facilitators, coaches and HR will be involved in the analysis and development phases, thorough the participation in the focus group, and the validation (peer review) of the state of art and first pilot of the AGEFACTOR experience . Trainers will also be involved in the short joint stafftraining. Finally, the global number will be involved during the local and transnational exploitation events, both as invitees and experts in the field. Companies and stakeholders are the “mover and shaker” for the project because it is the most important target that has to buy-in the project’s approach and developed tools. Enlarged networks and other stakeholders will also be reached through the dissemination activities, as participants of events and recipients of information. The project is designed according to the main tenets of project management cycle and the activities leading to the outputs can be briefly summarized into three main phases: Phase 1: Baseline Analysis and sharing . The deliverables are represented by 7 country reports, a EU compendium and one transnational report (output 1). Phase 2: Development of the AGEFACTOR activities and pathways. The deliverables are a concrete set of methodological and training material (so-called BOOSTER-O2 and CAMPAIGNS-O3) . The material will be prepartory for the main entry point of the AGEFACTOR experience, (so-called online and offline COMPASS- O4) .Phase 3: Pilot Testing and evaluation of the tools. The final deliverable is represented by a final assessment (05), a comprehensive report that will also include recommendations to pave the way for mainstreaming of test into ordinary practice and presented to local, national and EU stakeholders through the dissemination events. As a result of testing, implementation and dissemination of the project’s approach, the expected impact is:- On adult learners (different ages, primarily over 50, but also younger generations, with diverse skills and life experiences). Improved capability and skills to manage their career, to let emerge talents, to collaborate, use social media, improve digital literacy and transversal skills. - on SMEs: enhances awareness of social HR functions such as selections and induction of prospective workers in finding the right skills (present or needed in the companies) for the new challenges ahead, avoiding potential deadweight losses; On both previous groups: increased participation in lifelong learning opportunities, take-up of ICT tools to assess skills’ needs and development, emergence of transversal talents/skills The AGEFACTOR project has been thought as a transnational experience that maximizes the available ICT social media and tools to boost their potential for learning. Partners are therefore committed to achieving mainstreaming and continuous adaptation well beyond the project’s cycle, also through the creation of the AGEFACTOR alliance after its end (O6).
