This project arises from the need to attract attention to the education of gifted students using out of school learning areas. Museums are taken privately as out of school learning areas in this project as they are important cultural heritages of nations. We will both raise awareness for the education of gifted students and for the museums as out of school places as education should not be restricted in a classroom. So our main aim is to promote museums to be entertaining, creative,educational and functional institutions without excessive seriousness, and to be effective, sustainable and living institutions. In this way, we set an example of all other institutions as a learning model by their adopting our model and to promote these institutions’ functuonality. In this process, our objcetives are as follows:-to help gifted students learn by doing out of school areas,-to improve cultural dialogues between nations and transnations.-to create a socialization area for gifted students as they need it.-to raise awareness about the importance of out-of-school areas.-to raise awareness for the museums as important cultural heritages. The innovation of the project lies in the creation of specific activities in museums using the historical artifacts in these musuems as part of the activities. With the booklet and lesson plans which will be prepared by the participant educators will be important outputs of this project. As 4 partner organisation we come together to realize these objectives. We have planned 4 meetings, 2 TPM and two LTT. We will make gifted students join the LTTs and dissemination activities. First of all there will be a TPM in Greece. The first meeting will a kick-off meeting and all project details will be planned with face to face communication. The project will last 20 months and the meetings have been planned almost every 6 months. There will also be a virtual meeting to go through the project activities in the middle of the project duration. The final meeeting will be held in Italy to finalize the project, evaluate the impact and work to sustain the project results as well as disseminating it as much as possible. Except these meetings there will be two LTTs with the participance of students and teachers. In these LTTs students with the support of their teachers will carry out some activities in the museums of host countries. To the mobilities among gifted students especially having economic difficulties will be chosen. As they have economic difficulty this project will a good opportunity for them to see different countries, cultures, peers from different countries. The activities in each mobility have been planned with agreement of all partner country in this project and all these activities are planned to reach the objectives of the project. The expected tangible results are e-booklet, web site, sample museum school lesson plan (integration of museum activities with different lessons like social studies, geography, maths, drama, etc...) youtube channel and vlogs in which we will share the activities done during the mobilities. The methodology to be used in carrying out the project is non-formal education. This project is innovative in terms being the first for both developing gifted students education and teaching professions.

"CONTEXT:Pathological streamining is a new phenomena which is becoming ubitiquous in the Internet. Popularity on youtube, social media allows for streaming pathological behaviours which is based on causing the harm to the other people is becoming very popular and widely watched by the Youth in the European Union. Young people have unlimited access to the internet. In order to prevent the dangerous activities in the internet, they need to understand the dangers of antisocial behaviours which are widely promoted and monetized by large companies such as Youtube. Patostreaming can be defined as: ""Malicious content on the internet is defined as materials, that can cause negative emotions for the recipient or whichpromote dangerous behavior "".GENERAL OBJECTIVE:The general objective of the ANTI-PATOSTREAM project is the exchange of best practices in order to start shaping a basic educational framework for digital critical skills literacy in the youth sector at a European level, integrating the expertise of partners engaged in different topics related to technology for avoiding harmful content. We will also explore different methods of educational practices such as peer learning, participatory learning, and online learning.SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:•to exchange best practices between organisations active in digital critical skills focusing on methodologies, conditions, content of digital literacy in youth education•to exchange best practices around developing and implementing a educational prevention programm against the harmful content in the web.•to contribute to efforts in increasing competencies of low-skiled youth on digital skills literacy, that is, providing them with accessible training on how to improve their digital critical skills•to identify and strategise around future EU funding and new opportunities to develop a European wide standardised prevention programme on ""harmful content for the youth"" that can be scaled throughout the EU •to promote collaboration of project consortium with other stakeholders such as local municipalities, corporations, youth organisations, etc. and increase their impact NEEDS:• Dangers of harmful content (i.e. pathological streaming) (Youth digital critical literacy skills and ethics of technology)• Accessible relevant online digital critical skills / educational resources for youth and youth educators with the best practices on educational prevention; • Effective way to share innovative ANTI-PATOSTREAM content and knowledge with other practitioners (scalability, reusability of already developed content/materials)TARGET GROUP:The main target group of this project is represented by the youth with special focus on the low-skilled youth from marginalized neighbourhoods. According to the reports on harmful content, this is the youth which is mostly endangered because of lack of role models in the social environment"

"The Survey of Adult Skills (PIAAC,2013) showed that 20% of the EU working age population has low literacy and low numeracy skills, while OECD (2019) establishes that “supporting adults with low skills to upskill and reskill is imperative for a future of work that is both more productive and inclusive. It helps individuals to increase their employability and ultimately their social inclusion”.In this context, the partnership lead by CJRAE Vrancea aims to extend the services provided by partners to the beneficiaries through integrating one innovative training for trainers that work with low skilled adults; this training, based on research data and expertise of all partners, will be tested and validated in real training context in the period of implementation and will be used by all partners to train the trainers working with low skilled adults. The project also aims to promote institutional development through at least one new working procedure in each partner organization, based on exchange of good practices with the partners, procedure that will be tested within the implementation period and will guide the future trainings with low skilled adults. Through the activities implemented within the project, the partners aim to contribute to the common development of competencies and knowledge of staff involved in training the low skilled adults through exchange of good practice and innovation, and to contribute to the internationalization of activities of all partners.The partnership foresees at least 20 staff members to be involved in identifying the needed competencies to train low skilled adults through international research (IO1) and innovating a methodology for training of trainers working with low skilled adults (IO2), building on their experience and expertise. Also, 14 staff members will attend a short-term joint staff training event to validate the training methodology and develop their skills of implementing it. All participants are experienced trainers with expertise in working with low skilled adults. To multiply the results of the project, the partnership foresees a multiplier event - International Seminar ""Training the trainers to work with low skilled adults"" – organized in Romania for developing specific professional skills to trainers of trainers and trainers of low skilled adults, managers of training institutions from Romania and abroad. Also, for the multiplication of project results, each partner will organize at least one training for trainers and at least one training for low skilled adults. Presentation at international conferences in adult education and articles in educational journals will inform the theoreticians and practitioners about the results and possibility to use them in their activity. The participants will develop their skills linked to their professional profile, skills for international cooperation and implementation of transnational projects, English skills and intercultural skills, will increase the quality of their training activities using our innovative methodology and will increase their job satisfaction and motivation for participation in future international projects. The partner organizations will provide better quality trainings by using the intellectual outputs of this project, will benefit from a more modern, dynamic, committed and professional environment inside the organization, based on the new staffs’ skills and their job satisfaction and interest for projects, will have an increased capacity to operate at EU level and develop their international projects team. The primary target groups (trainers working with low skilled adults, managers of adult training institutions, staff in partner organizations, youth-workers and teachers from second chance programs) attending the activities for multiplication of results will have increased professional skills to better respond the needs of their beneficiaries, increased interest into adapting our resources or developing their own resources to provide better trainings, will have better knowledge and understanding of EU practices in training the low skilled adults and a more positive attitude towards international projects (and EU values). The result of our project can also be used by secondary schools and VET institution, adapted to train the teachers working with underachievers, strengthening cross-sectorial cooperation and the quality of the results. All participants in this project (staff members and beneficiaries) will have a greater understanding and responsiveness to social, ethnic, linguistic and cultural diversity in their training groups. On medium and long-term, the project will contribute to enhancing the quality of training for the trainers working with low skilled adults, as all interested training institutions and independent trainers will have full and unrestricted access to our developed resources (research & methodology for training) that they can use or adapt."

Circular economy represents an opportunity to address labour market imbalances and threats. Circular economy policies are expected to help reduce environmental impacts while generating higher levels of employment. As we move towards a more circular economy, it is estimated that GDP in the EU will increase by almost 0.5% by 2030. According to the Cambridge Econometrics, Trinomics, and ICF report (2018), there will be an estimated net increase in employment of approximately 700 000.During the next few years, the sectors that produce and process raw materials will decrease in size, while the waste management, recycling and repair sectors will experience extra growth.If a sustainable circular economy is to be implemented, the quality of those jobs is essential to their success, improving that quality through improving worker skills, including environmental, health and safety skills.For this reason, the CE-IP project aims to develop new training solutions that can help match the expected expansion of green job opportunities with skilled workers, to promote a shift towards a more sustainable economy.Our project will provide training solutions related to current jobs in the recycling sector, and new green and fair job opportunities for adults with low skills, including unemployed youth.The activities to be developed will focus on the generation of new skills and opportunities to access green and fair jobs, mainly related to the circular economy in terms of garment waste management.For this reason the project will focus on the circular economy of the textile sector.The target groups of the project are:- Self-employed, unemployed and low-skilled workers from other productive sectors.- Trainers of continuous training systems that provide courses for adults related to new employment opportunities.Thus, the main objective of the project is to achieve a systemic change in the skills and capacities of this target group.Other objectives are:- Promotion of self-employment linked to these activities in low-skilled workers.- Creation of new innovative training solutions related to opportunities in the circular economy.The Consortium that will develop the project is made up of six organizations from five countries:- Universitat Jaume I de Castellón as the project coordinator (Spain).- AEGARE- Asociación de empresarios gallegos en Aragón y riberas del Ebro (Spain).- Cologne Business School (Germany).- Social Innovation and Cohesion Institute (Greece).- Razvojna agencija Sotla (Slovenia).- CNIPA Puglia (Italy).A course on key concepts of Circular Economy will be held for 18 sustainability experts from the partner organizations to exchange ideas and generate a mutual understanding of the key concepts of Circular Economy and sustainability.In addition, the following intellectual outputs will be developed:IO1. Training guide on circular economy management strategies for microenterprises.IO2. Multimedia training resources with a 360º web base on good practices and innovative ways of extending the useful life of textile products.IO3. E-learning course for trainers on circular economy.In the development of this intellectual output, a pilot course for 60 trainers will be launched, the final result of which will be that every trainer will design a training course for unqualified adults.180 unemployed, self-employed and low-skilled workers will participate in the tests of the intellectual outputs of the project.The results expected from the implementation of the project include:- The development of teaching competences of adult trainers related to the circular economy.- Innovative training solutions in this field through the use of digital technologies.- To promote the circular economy through the generation of micro-enterprises in the activity of garment waste management (textile sector). - The development and dissemination of the circular economy as an employment opportunity for adults with low qualifications and in a situation of exclusion from the labour market, from other productive sectors.

The unemployment of young people in Europe has reached alarming rates and fight against it has become one of the most important priorities not only for national government but also for the politicians on the EU level. It is only necessary as the labour markets in the EU countries become more and more connected. However, not only the strategies and tools used for tackling the unemployment have to be accessed from the European point of view, but also the young people and recently graduates have to look at their situation with a wider perspective. The aim of the THEY.EA project was to raise awareness about the European programmes and tools that can help young people to find job and to integrate to the European labour market.During the project the partners from the Czech Republic, Spain, Italy, Bulgaria and Poland created three connected outputs around the four topics which were agreed to be the most important for young jobseekers. The topics we choose were the following:• European Citizenship• Available funding programmes • European tools for recognition of skills and qualification • The work mobility in the EU Apart from these 4 chapters the partners also focused on collecting Open Educational Resources which can be used by the youngsters to improve their situation on the European job market.The target group of the project were young people at risk of unemployment and youthworkers who also activelly took part in the process of the creation of the outputs. Most of the partners worked with young people while the Spanish partner mostly worked with youth workers. In the Czech Republic the partners worked with young people from the Bruntál region and with youth workers on national level.The coordinating organisation was the European Development Agency which is an organisation focusing on educational activities and international projects (especially mobility projects and partnerships). EuDA coordinated the work of other partners and was responsible for creating the final outputs. EuDA also worked with other organizations during the project, especially schools and NGOs with whom EuDA consulted the outputs. During the time of the THEY project EuDA hosted several mobilities for young people from other European countries and had the opportunity to test the outputs with these target groups. The partner Nr. 1 was the Institute of Regional Development which is a Czech NGO running the Europe Direct Centre in Bruntál. During the THEY project IRD was mainly responsible for communicating with the target group of young people from the Bruntál region. The region belongs to regions with the highest unemployment rate in the Czech Republic. IRD was in the project responsible for the parts of the ouptuts related to the European Citizenship and European Rights.The partner Nr. 2 was the National Association of Municipal Clercks from Sofia, Bulgaria. This partner hosted the kick-off meeting and was responsible for the chapters about the work mobility in the European Union. During the project NAMCB cooperated with Sofia university so that they could consult the studets about the outputs. The partner Nr. 3 was CNIPA Puglia, an educational organisation from Bari with offices in the whole Puglia region. CNIPA has experience with vocational education and runs educational programmes for young Italians mainly in cooperation with local administrations. During the project CNIPA hosted the 2nd meeting and was responsible for the topic of the recognition of qualifications in the EU.The partner Nr. 4 was ONECO Consulting from Spain which is a consulting agency active in the field of European projects and mobilities. They were the perfect partner who could bring know-how about European programmes and financing opportunities. They didn't really work with young people during the project but more with youth workers. In the end of the project ONECO started cooperation with the Sevilla university where they organized a successful multiplier event. Last but not least the partner Nr. 5 was the IDZE institute from Warsaw. The experts of IDZE were responsible for the search for Open Educational Resources which they provided for the THEY.EA website. During the project the partners created outputs which put together 5 important topics with the European added value for young people and youthworkers. All partners already had the opportunity to test these outputs in praxis during their educational activities and events. The outputs are shared through the networks of the partners in the partner countries and beyond. The outputs were created in English and then translated into four European languages so that they can be easily used by youngsters.
