This project builds up tools, knowledge and methodologies for learners to upskill themselves (in groups, individually or with a teacher) in the relationships between gender inequality and the climate crisis. This includes providing tools for adult education providers. It contributes to two horizontal aspects of the Erasmus+ programme: fighting climate change and promoting inclusion and diversity.Project activitiesThe knowledge and tools developed will be further disseminated through multiplier events. The following people will be reached through the training and multiplier events:•404 women/women’s rights activists/CSO-representatives, of which it is estimated a minority participation of migrant women and people of LGBTQI+ communities and civil society, and allied civil society, and 133 others (decision makers, other adult educational providers, etc.).We will realize the following project results •Introduction Toolkit: a briefing paper (8 pages) with 4 thematic factsheets (each 2 pages) on gender equality and climate justice in seven languages (English, German, Bulgarian, Danish, Spanish, French and Swedish).•An online trainers hub with at minimum 14 workshop methods (2 per partners) linked to the topic “gender and climate justice” for adult educators and institutions, with materials in the national languages of the participating organisations, all available in their original language and English. (English, German, Bulgarian, Danish, Spanish, French and Swedish).•An e-learning tool for individual online learning on the topic. All materials will be produced in English. The topics for these project results will be: Gender & climate change - introductory module; mobility/sustainable transport; extractivism and women’s activism against socioecological exploitation; energy – sustainable production, inclusive access and feminist perspectives on climate policy, and - 'LGBTIQ+ and Climate Justice'

FINDHR is an interdisciplinary project that seeks to prevent, detect, and mitigate discrimination in AI. Our research will be contextualized within the technical, legal, and ethical problems of algorithmic hiring and the domain of human resources, but will also show how to manage discrimination risks in a broad class of applications involving human recommendation. Through a context-sensitive, interdisciplinary approach, we will develop new technologies to measure discrimination risks, to create fairness-aware rankings and interventions, and to provide multi-stakeholder actionable interpretability. We will produce new technical guidance to perform impact assessment and algorithmic auditing, a protocol for equality monitoring, and a guide for fairness-aware AI software development. We will also design and deliver specialized skills training for developers and auditors of AI systems. We ground our project in EU regulation and policy. As tackling discrimination risks in AI requires processing sensitive data, we will perform a targeted legal analysis of tensions between data protection regulation (including the GDPR) and anti-discrimination regulation in Europe. We will engage with underrepresented groups through multiple mechanisms including consultation with experts and participatory action research. In our research, technology, law, and ethics are interwoven. The consortium includes leaders in algorithmic fairness and explainability research (UPF, UVA, UNIPI, MPI-SP), pioneers in the auditing of digital services (AW, ETICAS), and two industry partners that are leaders in their respective markets (ADE, RAND), complemented by experts in technology regulation (RU) and cross-cultural digital ethics (EUR), as well as worker representatives (ETUC) and two NGOs dedicated to fighting discrimination against women (WIDE+) and vulnerable populations (PRAK). All outputs will be released as open access publications, open source software, open datasets, and open courseware.

CB4VOL's main objective is to strengthen the capacity of the consortium organisations to develop volunteering work at local level. At the same time, the project organisations will promote the participation of youth in their local communities, to improve awareness and knowledge about gender equality and inclusion.The project objectives will be achieved through 4 Working Packages: (1) Project and consortium management, (2) Training and follow-up/Monitoring, (3) Volunteer pilot groups, (4) Online campaigning for gender equality and inclusion. This project has targeted young people and specially young women from vulnerable backgrounds in the urban and semi urban areas of Tangiers, Jerusalem. These youngsters will become local volunteers and they will not only work together at community level but also engage in exchanges (online and in-person) with youngsters from the EU. In addition, the consortium is made up of 4 organisations: Association Thissagnasse pour la culture et le développement in Morocco; Young Women's Christian Association of Jerusalem; Women In Development Europe+ (WIDE+), Brussels; Alianza-Actionaid (Madrid). The organisations will work with 40 young people and 30 staff members of organisations. The young volunteers will reach out locally through public actions and the regional online campaing to foster gender equality and social inclusion.Expected results:- Partner organisations develop strong, sustainable volunteering programmes- Young people in 4 countries engage locally, develop their personal skills to become active, responsible adults. - Local communities' awareness about gender equality and social inclusion has been raised.Project outputs:- Each organisation develops a Local Volunteering Programme- Training Materials, for organisations and for the volunteers, are produced on Volunteering, Gender Equality, Campaigning.- Online Regional campaign and dissemination materials- Local public actions about the value of volunteering

Although the existence of Fake News is not a new phenomenon, social networks have enhanced their dissemination. Almost half of EU citizens (46% in 2016) read their news through social networks and six out of ten tend to share them without having verified its accuracy or even read them. Political propaganda and hate speech also spread easily through the internet, so the European Parliament discussed these issues at its session of April 5th 2017.Especially susceptible to these Fake News are women at risk of exclusion, since this is a group historically detached from the public and educational spheres, which is why, according to multiple studies, they have lower digital skills and training for the use of social networks and the Internet in general, therefore making them more susceptible to Fake News that show up on-line.In this regard, Fake News has two main objectives: one is to attract attention, to generate as many “clicks” as possible; and the other is to spread deceptive content to lead the general public in a certain direction, for example, for political purposes. This second reason is the main issue because it makes hate speech and far-right ideologies spread easily, encouraging racism, xenophobia, sexism, islamophobia, intolerance, and/or violence against many social groups.Given that this is a common concern of the European Parliament, the Erasmus Plus Programme, and most of the European society, we have designed the project BREAKING FAKE NEWS APART TO STOP HATRED: EDUCATION FOR THE INCLUSION OF ADULT WOMEN AT RISK OF EXCLUSION. This initiative aims to promote the inclusion of women at risk of exclusion in the formal adult educational system through innovative educational tools adapted to the beneficiary groups, and based on the analysis of Fake News. These mechanisms are also generated in these women to fight hate speech, addressing racism, xenophobia, sexism, islamophobia, etc.The educational tools developed will consist of:- READ-THINK-ACT: an interactive educational platform for adult learning through the analysis of Fake News, specifically aimed at groups at risk of exclusion, especially women with barriers. This platform will generate a virtual learning process for adults to match the objectives established for the Initial Teaching Curriculum established in Order ECD/651/2017.The Platform will be linked to social networks, so their users, mainly adult women at risk of social exclusion, are able to interact with it by uploading Fake News to analyze them and participate in debates. This way, students will learn in ways adapted to their needs, through an innovative methodology with high motivation capabilities, which will enhance the development of their civic and social skills, as well as their digital and critical analysis capabilities.- REAd-REAct: a set of Open Educational Resources aimed at adult education teachers, to be used in their lessons. These resources will take Fake News as a base of analysis to develop basic competences (reading, writing, math, and digital competences), thus being a key progress to achieve higher qualifications.The partnership of this project began working together years ago, and consists of 6 highly prestigious European entities (FEC, I. 8 de Marzo, I. Nicos Poulantzas, Cultra, Transform!AT y WIDE+), that work directly to stop hate speech at the European level, and experts in its different areas of impact (women, social inclusion, adult education, critical analysis, and the fight against hate speech in Europe). They have the ability to provide a great impact to the project and to reach agreements with local and regional governments, but also national ones, in order to provide the results with a real and very significant applicability throughout Europe. In this regard, the association includes large national entities with political and institutional representation in each of the participating countries, and has direct dialogue capabilities with the European Parliament and Commission.This project will be carried out during a 24-month dynamic and high-quality work, including 4 Transnational Meetings, national activities, dissemination activities, and a large Multiplier Event in Madrid (SPAIN), in which partner organizations, teachers, and adult education policy makers throughout Europe will participate.

"Our transnational collaboration aims to encourage and empower migrant women to participate in civic and democratic action in Europe. Migrant women are for us all women, including gender non-conforming persons, who displaced between countries, trafficked or who have moved from a third or European country to a destination in Europe. The cooperation partnership we are proposing is between women-led and migrant women-led organisations with a shared mission to protect the rights of migrant women rights.We will carry out the following activities. • 4 Project meetings and international trainings on “media tools and strategic communication tailored to migrant women in Europe”, “Introducing the European Union and its policies relevant for migrant women”, “Participation of migrant women in democratic life through the community of practice with public institutions”, and “Empowering migrant women in democratic life from individual to collective action"", two in Belgium, one in Spain and one in Serbia.• 9 partner organisations will organize one or a series of multiplier events, of which 4 partners organise face to face events and there are 5 online events. The partners will also set out to widely disseminate its study, survey, the toolkid and its treasures through it many migrant women members, member organisations and allies. • We will realize the following project results: -Study on participation of migration women in democratic life in EU, Serbia, Belgium, Denmark, Romania, Germany and Italy -Survey on participation of migration women in democratic life in Spain from a migrant women's perspective -Online Tool and Resource kit on how to empower and encourage women to participate in democratic life in Europe -ONLINE TREASURE BOX with 50 non-formal educational materials and messages to promote migrant’s women participation in democratic life"
