"The new Pan-European and multicultural dimension is requiring attention at social level, and particularly in the world of work.All key players in the European labour market are called to contribute to this challenge with adequate competences, redefined in order to be effective in the suddenly broad, multidimensional and multicultural context.In particular, Human Resources professionals are not only required to take the best advantage of all possible digital potentials to improve and speed-up the results of their work. They are now also demanded to be prepared understanding and evaluating multidimensional/multicultural factors. By acquiring such new skills, HR professionals can contribute to obtain a better matching of the characteristics of workers having a multicultural background from one hand with the requirements of the enterprises in the receiving European countries from the other hand. The project Multidimensional and multicultural expertise of Human Resources Professionals MMEHR deals with this.Within MMEHR, the cross-sectoral cooperation of HEIs with academies and representatives of business from Italy, Greece, Romania, Germany and Turkey, offers innovative solutions to this need, in order to encourage the teaching/learning in the HR area of an advanced set of multidimensional and multicultural 4.0 skills (Industry 4.0 'smart factories').The MMEHR project is innovative for its comprehensive and multidimensional approach, addressed to:(1) improve the level of key competences and skills Creating and validating courses and training modules for students as new professionals of different levels working with/managing Human Resources, in order to allow them acquire the competence of fully understanding hidden talents and expertise of individuals having a multicultural background. To the scope of reducing over-education, and enhancing and better use the human, social and cultural resources of the workers having a multicultural background.(2) with particular regard to their relevance for the labour marketBy enhancing their competences of understanding and evaluating multidimensional/multicultural factors, the professionals Human Resources professionals will contribute to a better matching of the productivity of the workers having a multicultural background as well as to the employment improvement of these workers from one hand with the requirements of the enterprises in the receiving European countries from the other hand.(3) contribute to a cohesive society To guarantee equal opportunities of access to the various areas of society, such as employment, is a necessary pre-condition for the full integration of individuals having a multicultural background, but also for the creation of a harmonious, low-conflict society. The improvement of the competences of the professionals working with individuals having a multicultural background is therefore intended to contribute to a cohesive society.(4) through strengthened cooperation between the world of education and training and the world of work.Within MMEHR HEIs and tertiary level training providers from Italy, Greece, Romania, Germany and Turkey, will share with business representatives the scopes of the project, actively cooperate to implement and promote the action and create the following outputs:O1 Quality Guidelines for Human Resources multicultural recognition and evaluation 4.0 techniques O2 Curriculum design “Human Resources multicultural recognition and evaluation 4.0”O3 MMEHR Open online Course ""Human Resources multicultural recognition and evaluation 4.0""O4 Piloting MMEHR learning kit of MOOC didactic contents Staff, teaching and learning mobility are organised at different stages of the progress of the project.C1 Staff training mobility organised by UNINA-DPS in Naples (Italy), lasting 4 days (Month 10)C2 Learner mobility organised by IFA in Stuttgart (Germany), lasting 5 days (Month 17)C3 Learner mobility organised by UTH in Volos (Greece), lasting 5 days (Month 18)Among the dissemination initiatives estimating to impact a minimum audience of 190 000 target users in the European project countries, the following Multipliers Events are also planned.E1 Human Resources multicultural recognition and evaluation 4.0 Seminar in Italy organized by UNINA-DPS (Month 15)E2 Human Resources multicultural recognition and evaluation 4.0 Seminar in Greece organized by UTH (Month 15)E3 Human Resources multicultural recognition and evaluation 4.0 Seminar in Romania organized by USV (Month 15)E4 Human Resources multicultural recognition and evaluation 4.0 Seminar in Germany organized by IFA (Month 16)E5 Human Resources multicultural recognition and evaluation 4.0 Seminar in Turkey organized by KOSANO (Month 16)E6 Final international conference organized in Italy organized by UNINA-DPS (Month 23)"

<< Objectives >>Parents of gender-diverse children face various social and psychological difficulties with understanding and supporting their children. This project therefore aims to support parents through masterclasses on the topic of gender diversity, and digital tools, so they can be better equipped to support their gender diverse children, or potential future gender diverse children. This project also supports adult educators/trainers in becoming competent to work with parents and youth on this topic.<< Implementation >>Two focus groups, 1 for parents and 1 for adult educators to determine what knowledge is required. Based on results, partners will develop one part of a series of master classes for parents. A train the trainers will be organised for trainers in each partner country, who will then pilot the masterclasses to parents. Based on the feedback a guidebook for trainers will be developed. Using all the knowledge the partners will create a series of videos as a digital tools and multiplier events.<< Results >>The following results are expected:- The access to knowledge about gender-diverse youth will be improved by developing effective educational tools for parents and educators supporting their daily activities and their channels of communication, with the goal to support Gender Diverse Youth. - Parents and educators as agents of social change with the new tool will help to ensure well-being both for themselves and their children and adult learners.- Open Access digital tool- Impact on inclusion

Building on the foundations of a previous Erasmus+ project, MAV (2017-1-DE02-KA204-004284, the creation of a blended learning “learning toolkit” for training volunteers to be mentors to newly arrived migrants and assist with their integration into society and the workplace), MentorNET will focus on the following:- Re-using and adapting the MAV outputs relating to a mentoring training course and make them available as a MOOC that is available worldwide and that is sensitive to the distinct needs of the country of first contact for migrants and the country in which they finally settle.- Researching good practice for mentoring and mentoring organisations.- Working across and beyond the partner organisations’ countries to establish a network of migrant organisations and the mentors they are supporting and provide the technological means for them to communicate with each other to share good practice, success stories and failures.- Establishing an overarching and self-sustaining structure to coordinate mentoring activities and build on the good practices identified and learn from each other’s successes and failures.The project needs to be carried out transnationally to deliver an effective result and to maximise the impact of the project’s aims. Migrant organisations and their volunteers work in the local communities they serve but migration is a trans-national issue and there is a positive benefit to these organisations and volunteers in sharing their learning with and learning from migrant organisations and volunteers across Europe. In this way good practice can be spread and an effective and empowered self-sustaining international community of migrant volunteers created.The desired outcome of the project is to:- Identify best practice for organizing and delivering mentoring- Establish a dynamic international network of adult volunteers who, having successfully completed the mentoring MOOC with support from their migrant association, are able to act as mentors to migrants - A self-sustaining, coordinated volunteer-based network that identifies and learns from good practice and failures in mentoring migrants and acts to actively promote the benefits of volunteering. - A mentoring process that is sensitive to the differing needs of migrants from their first point of contact in a new country and when they find a country to permanently settle in.A1 Preparation (Months 1-4) Leader E-MEL / Collaboration: ALL PARTNERSA2 Management (Months 1-24) Leader E-MEL / Collaboration: ALL PARTNERSA3 Implementation (Months 5-20) Leader JANUS / Collaboration: ALL PARTNERSA4 Quality monitoring (Months 2-23) Leader SYNTHESIS / Collaboration: ALL PARTNERSA5 Evaluation (Months 19-23) Leader RIEP / Collaboration: ALL PARTNERSA5 Dissemination (Months 2-23) Leader MRC / Collaboration: ALL PARTNERSOutputsO1 The MENTORnet training package (Months 5-11) Leader: MRC / Collaboration: ALL PARTNERSO2 The MENTORnet strategy (Months 11-14) Leader: RIEP / Collaboration: E-MEL, JANUS, SYNTHESISO3 The MENTORnet network (Months 15-20) Leader: SYNTHESIS / Collaboration: ALL PARTNERSNational multiplier eventsE1 Raising awareness event in Marlow (United Kingdom), organized by E-MEL at Month 13E2 Raising awareness event in Bologna (Italy), organized by JANUS at Month 13E3 Raising awareness event in Gdansk (Poland), organized by RIEP at Month 13E4 Raising awareness event in Stuttgart (Germany), organized by IFA at Month 14E5 Raising awareness event in London (United Kingdom), organized by MRC at Month 14E6 Raising awareness event in Nicosia (Cyprus), organized by SYNTHESIS at Month 16ConferencesE7 Mid-term international in Gdansk (Poland), organized by RIEP at month 10E8 International final conference in London (United Kingdom), organized by MRC at month 22The MENTORNET transnational project meetings (TPM) will be:Kick-off meeting (KoM), organized by EMEL in Marlow (United Kingdom), at Month 2TPM2, organized by SYNTHESIS in Nicosia (Cyprus), at Month 6TPM3, organized by IFA in Stuttgart (Germany), at Month 10TPM4, organized by RIEP in Gdansk (Poland), at Month 16TPM5 organized by MRC in London (United Kingdom), at Month 22

"The project vWBL ""Virtual Work-Based Learning to simulate real experience in VET digital training"" is focused on providing tailor-made solutions to the real needs of the VET systems in the forthcoming European post-pandemic societies, with special regards to the Work-Based-Learning (WBL) as key component of the VET having been particularly affected by the social distancing imposed also to VET teaching during the pandemic. vWBL will propose not only virtual situations allowing to transfer alternative experience to practise, when there will be obstacles to the real work-based learning. But the vWBL project will particularly operate in the area of the competences of the VET teachers to be aware of the potential effectivenesss of the virtual vWBL (virtual Work-Based Learning) and develop competences in creating their own impacting simulations of WBL.The project will proposed specific training to VET teachers on virtual vWBL. Furthermore, the vWBL training will pay special attention to the digital divide issue, including in the training all necessary support to inform the VET teachers about the issue of creating vWBL that will be usuable also by students having poor digital connection or device. In this way, the project will contribute to enhance inclusion and prevent the risk that categories of learners would be disadvantaged or excluded from learning.vWBL is promoted by seven partners from the six European countries Portugal, Estonia, Italy, Bulgaria, Cyprus and Poland, which are VET institutes, outstanding HEI undertaking research and training in the VET sector, provider of IT services to education and training, VET training designers and providers and international platform motivating learning and social development in more than 20 countries in Europe.| The vWBL ActivitiesA1 Preparation (Months 1-9) Leader EPRALIMA / Collaboration: ALL PARTNERSA2 Coordination and Management (Months 1-24) Leader EPRALIMA / Collaboration: ALL PARTNERSA3 Implementation (Months 8-20) Leader JANUS / Collaboration: ALL PARTNERSA4 Quality monitoring and evaluation (Months 3-24) Leader EUROSC / Collaboration: ALL PARTNERSA5 Dissemination (Months 3-23) Leader IPCP / Collaboration: ALL PARTNERS| The vWBL OutputsEach activity will produce fundamental results and outputs.
