    The people of all ages are affected by the negativities brought by the phenomenon of migration.They are exposed to lots of economic, social problems.These problems that may arise due to migration have affected the psychological structure of people.This situation can lead people to commit crime, theft, substance abuse,etc.However,the destructive effects of immigration are most felt on children.Children exposed to migration are also deprived of educational opportunities which is one of basic human rights.Inclusion of immigrant children in the education process is very different from normal children and much more critical.Especially, the effects of migration are more destructive on the children who have been exposed to migration in early childhood.These children are experiencing serious difficulties in integrating into society and teaching environments.The reasons for not continuing education or not at a higher level are not only economic reasons,but also they left school willingly. School dropout rate for economic reasons is 44%, while school dropout rate because of psychologic problems is 22%. It is a considerably rate.The remaining immigrant children are reluctant to go to school.Because of that, school success falls and motivation decreases of these children.This situation creates not only unsuccesful students,but also schools,cities and countries. The main objective of Let Keep Them Dreaming in the direction of these problems is to provide a quality education to the children who are exposed to the migration by rehabilating them. The project aims to reduce the early schooling rate by 20% in two years, the academic achievement of migrant children will increase by 40%. Purposes of the project: • To contribute to the efficient use of education rights by immigrant children, • To provide psychological support to children exposed to migration trauma, • To support children's hopes for the future, • To share and exchange good practices in the subject in Europe • To increase teachers 'and administrators' empowerment to fight discrimination • To raise awareness of local community about To reach these goals; 24 guidance teachers and 24 primary school teachers will attend LTT events in Gandia and in Milena. Teachers will be chosen from the schools where there are many refugee children. Willing to work, participating in dissemination activities, strong communication criteria will be sought. School visits will be done to see educational practices in Gandia and Mazzaroni. Teachers returning from training will inform other colleagues about education. Teacher training modulles and imaginative games will be created in LTTs. Activities that will be implemented by all partner orgaznizations locally: 1. Each partner will determine and collabrate with schools (12 in total) having problems social exclusion, early school leaving 2. Children from selected schools will be included in the registration system in website to be created 3. A short film will be screened and shown to raise awareness in the local community 4. Refugee and immigrant children who do not go to school will be registered to schools 5. “Dream Trees” will be built in schools and children will write and hang their dreams 6. Immigrant children from partner countries will be brought together via facebook group 7. Schools will be brought together in eTwinning and supported to make projects 8. Non-competitive team games will be played in class and shared via eTwinning projects 9. Children will portray their dreams and an exhibition will be organized at schools by parents 10.Creative and imaginative games will be implemented in class 11.Teacher training modulles will be translated in partners countries’ language, bookleted and shared with schools In the execution of the project collaborative approach will be followed. 3 TPMs and monthly online meetings will be held during the project.It will be everyone's responsibility to manage the project to achieve the goals.It will ensure quicker resolution of problems through communication established by prioritizing team participation.

    "Тhe reform of the education system sacross Europe and especially in the countries that are part of this project is a challenge that we all face. From the European Institutions to the Institutions of the participating countries, the greatest challenge is left to those who are daily committed to teaching educational content and conducting the teaching that should produce results. During the school age, young people face and learn habits that will further lay the foundation of their lives and pave the way for adult individuals and active citizens, The project is inspired by the needs of the two main target groups, teachers and students. Macedonia's internationally is ranked in the PISA ranks among the last in comparison to the achievements of 15-year-olds in the world. These tests tested language literacy and knowledge in mathematics and natural sciences for 540 thousand students from 72 countries. The ranking gave disappointing results, the Macedonian primary school pupils are fourth from behind. Behind them are only the natives of Kosovo, Algeria and the Dominican Republic. The best results are from the principals of Singapore, Japan and Estonia. According to TIMSS testing in Macedonia, the Macedonian elementary school students in 2011 also achieved striking results in competition from 42 countries, again fourth from behind. All four previous participations in Macedonia in 1999, 2003 and 2011 were also observed with huge failure, especially in the field of mathematics and physics. It is evident that in the Macedonian education lately there is a lot of investments, but there are no results. It is interesting to note that according to PISA testing in Macedonia done last year to 4,000 students. students who have taken in Albanian language give lesser results to students who were in subject to testing in Macedonian language. What all relevant stakeholders agree on is that new programs are needed to encourage thinking and interaction, and not factography. In our country in the external testing, only the factography is measured, and not the imagination and the ability to logical thinking. According to the World Bank, the Government should take steps to improve the quality of education, the report suggests that training should be provided for teachers in primary and secondary schools, as well as to increase the number of classes with teachers in primary education, which will led to the strengthening of the quality of primary and secondary education. World Bank analysts advise that higher education can be improved through co-ordination of the curriculum with the private sector and by introducing capitation to finance higher education. The project is also in line with the ""Framework for Developing and Understanding Digital Competence in Europe"" document prepared by the European Commission's Joint Research Center, as it provides learning and training opportunities in each of the recognized areas of digital competencies. The project is also linked to media literacy and the Commission's efforts in this area, as digital skills are key to promoting media literacy and the development of critical thinking. Therefore, the main goal of this project is to encourage a strategic digital transformation of school education and to raise the level of knowledge in the subjects of mathematics and physics among the students. The specific objectives of this project are: * To initiate digitization and transnationality by creating free open digital educational resources. * To promote the use of ICT in school education; * To create partnerships between schools, youth organizations and IT companies * To strengthen the capacities of partner organizations in e-learning * To advance teachers' digital competencies. * To initiate the creation of a strategic consortium that will develop new projects * To promote the use of the non-formal learning methodology in formal educational institutions. The project is designed to have a positive impact on the participants as well as on the participating organizations, but above all the target groups the teachers and staff in school education, youth workers, young people with fewer opportunities and students enrolled in formal educational institutions, such as schools."

    The main objective of the project is to get young people to develop key skills for their future through creativity and the arts, in this case musical arts and crafts, since on the one hand they will be able to manufacture recycled instruments from waste all kinds, and on the other they will learn to play these instruments with basic notions of music theory so that they can get involved in projects related to music and culture.In addition, they will be trained with the knowledge, tools and skills necessary to empower them to verse and may be able to start their own entrepreneurship projects related to music and recycled instruments, as well as skills on dissemination of results, management of social networks, promotion of their projects and products and visibility of their creations through the creation of attractive and stimulating videos that get the maximum number of young people to reach out in a way that can create a multiplier effect.This way we will promote business education and social entrepreneurship activities using a raw material considered garbage today, so they will not need large investments of money to carry out their projects. In fact, in addition to promoting the reuse of waste and setting up their own businesses with them, they will also be helping the environment and collaborating to mitigate the effects of current consumption habits that lead us to use and dispose of without thinking about the consequences that this has. for the Planet.Last but not least, with this project, young people from various countries will create a community of recycled instrument artisans with whom they will make a series of connections after meeting during project activities, which will unite them in a very special way, as that they will not only share the artisan part of making recycled instruments, but also for the musical part they will have a unique connection that we hope will lead them to create their own projects, give each other support and share the successes and failures of their endeavors as world artisans of the music industry.The specific objectives are:1. Enhance the entrepreneurial spirit of young people and empower them with the necessary training (theory, tools, skills) to start their own projects on recycled instruments.2. Strengthen the capacities of youth and associated organizations in the field of digitizing entrepreneurial and creative activities in the artistic and cultural field.3. Promote and offer opportunities for socio-labor integration and entrepreneurship among youth, especially among disadvantaged groups and at risk of exclusion.4. Increase the capacities of associations and youth workers to disseminate, promote and make projects visible through current social networks, web pages and audiovisual material.5. Create a European solidarity network of strategic alliances on art and culture that can lead to the creation of new projects, tools and resources available in open source.This project will have a positive impact at all levels. At the level of the participants, the developed and advanced digital competencies and the knowledge and skills for the development and management of the e-learning process will have a positive impact. E-learning as a process will have a positive impact on access to quality educational content, especially for young people with fewer opportunities. The impact of developed and advanced digital skills will be long-term, as the digitization of the youth sector will occur in the next few years, this project will provide an advantage and an opportunity for participants to train and lead their colleagues. The knowledge / skills / competencies developed will be long-term. This project will also have a positive impact on the quality of non-formal education and its quality in Europe and in each participating country. The project will have a positive impact on the level of development of the participating organizations and the level of associated partners. Participation in this type of project will strengthen the capacity of participating organizations and develop the capacity of associated partners. The project will also have a positive impact on the motivation of participating organizations to plan and apply for new projects under the Erasmus + program.

    "<< Background >>With over a third of the EU27 population under the age of 30, the impact of this generation on Europe’s future, magnanimously put, is gargantuan. History, though, plays a crucial role in determining which societal section and region has the most impact. For today, promulgation of green skills, building up green-savvy ways of life are the best insurance against impending effects of climate change in the face of lethargy.Youth across Europe have gradually taken the onus on them to reduce their carbon footprint. Europe already stands testimony to green ways of life, but as 97% of Europe’s current forests are ‘reforested’, the impact of industrialisation is evident in every sphere of society, from the Ruhr valley in Germany to the Carpathian mountains in Poland to scenic lakes in Luxembourg to the beaches near Gandia and the pine-covered mountain peaks in Basilicata.Youth can positively impact the climate scene. Youth should positively impact the climate scene. This project has been inspired from a delayed COP26 that should have been held in December 2020 in Glasgow. The pandemic has bought people from all walks of life together. Youth in the village and in the city, divided by their surroundings have been united by a passion to react, to act. This project is a joint venture between youth and the environment, between urban and rural settings, between the will to act and actually take the first step.In French, JV can also stand for ‘Jeunes et des espaces vertes’, or youth and green spaces. This is what this project aims to do. Empowering youth with skills, DIY techniques, brainstorming to find solutions to sustainable ways of life, to travel, to use the informatics services, all in the name of climate action.Through Joint Ventures: Jeunes et des espaces vertes, we target:Common values, civic engagement and participationYouth who come together for the training activities, work to produce the results and partake in the multiplier events and other project’s related discussion are those who value working together to improve steps taken towards climatic action. This collective concerted action, both in rural and urban areas is through civic engagement, participation and collaborative work. Increasing quality, innovation and recognition of youth workUp-skilling youth, imparting them green-life skills, capacity building in skills concerning environment, green action, empowering them to act autonomously by providing them with tools and ideas will ensure the decentralised method of action improves quality, the networking across youth will allow them to innovate and the work they do will be recognised at the local, regional and national level.Environment and fight against climate changeThe project’s French title is Youth and Green spaces. This is a joint venture between youth and the environment, among others to fight the issue of climate change. In designing this project, we also target the joint venture between rural and urban communities for the air we breathe is all the same, everyone needs to act, across borders and nations to bring about collective climate action.Other thematics the project addresses are Green Skills, Key Competences Development and Climate-Smart youth.The needs of the partnership in structuring the project has been to concentrate on the transversal strengths of each partner of the consortium. With partners from Luxembourg, Germany, Poland, Spain and Italy, the project caters to the common need to create a resilient society for and with youth.<< Objectives >>The greater objective of Joint Ventures: Jeunes et des espaces vertes is to create healthy, climate-smart resilient societies in Europe by tapping into the youth potential, working transversally across the urban and rural sectors aiding them to improve their existing skills and learn others including organising summer camps and weekend camping-style getaways in nature. We work towards this by doing our little bit through these two training activities bringing learners from across Europe and using this learned material to prepare our outputs, Green-Life Skills: An Illustrative Handbook & Summer Camp Guide for Urban and Rural Europe and Online-Coordination Platform for Youth Summer Camps.The concrete objectives of our project are:(i) capacity-building of youth on green-life skills(ii) refining the attitude of youth towards climate change, through practical examples and long-term impact examples(iii) provide youth exciting ways to contribute tangibly to concerted climate action(iv) impart green-life skills to youth, especially in adherence to WHO’s definition of life skills 'abilities for adaptive and positive behaviour that enable individuals to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life' to aid in green youth work(v) support creation of local summer camps by providing youth a handbook and an online platform allowing youth to network, organise and lead such camps to further involve others in the ‘green-marathon’The battle to own back our future for youth is an existential one. Hence, the ‘green marathon’ is won by supporting small green ideas, projects, support structures, youth organisations, climate-smart activities, climate-neutral modes of transportation, all ushered in through a renewed vigour to address the advocacy and policy part to prod decision-makers to make sound decisions for the future of today’s young generation, to allow them to breathe the air of freedom without fear of climate-induced displacement and uncertainty to enjoy forests, the snow on the Alps or water in our rivers. The appeal to join in the ‘green marathon’ of climate-smart youth towards working one step at a time for better futures for all is central to the activities and the results designed in this project, imparting green-life skills to youth.<< Implementation >>The Joint Venture: Jeunes et des espaces vertes project is a joint venture between two activities in themselves and two results. The activities that we will implement under the auspices of this project are:The first activity is titled: Urban VenturesThe activity focusses on the concerted civic action in urban spaces being held in an urban region. The activity delves on how urban youth can contribute to reducing their carbon footprint through little steps, DIY tricks that youth can do in their homes, on energy-saving techniques, on sourcing energy from verifiable renewable energy suppliers, on motivation to internet-savvy youth to develop greener apps with lesser code, ideas on waste use, waste recycling, reuse and upcycling.The second activity is titled: Rural venturesHere, the participants find themselves in a rural setting and learn about weekend getaways, camping areas or a summer camp. They will come together and work to create some items themselves through hand-on learning activities, like repairing existing public structures, gardens, create items from natural materials like benches, sun shades and learn about composting, gardening, everything that can be done in nature. Participants will also learn on managing summer camps that will allow them to further organise them through the handbook and the online-platform that will be made as part of the results of the project.Implementing these activities allows us to learn from youth, while simultaneously understand them better. We will also be implementing multiplier events in each country to further allow youth in each of the participating countries to positively exploit our results and empower themselves, an action through which we expect youth to engage in more climate-friendly activities in urban and rural areas while also undertaking a renewed interest through clarity to organise, conduct and benefit from summer camps. The multiplier events will be held in Luxembourg, Germany, Poland, Spain and Italy targeting youth, youth NGOs, climate activists, local authorities wishing to undertake activities for youth, among others.<< Results >>The succour we provide to ensuring Joint Ventures: Jeunes et des espaces vertes, its aims and ideals remain sustainable are through our two results:Result 1: Green-Life Skills: An Illustrative Handbook & Summer Camp Guide for Urban and Rural EuropeA picture speaks a thousand words they say. Hence, the partners of the consortium have decided to create a handbook with urban and rural green-life skills to which will be appended a toolbook to conceive, create and run summer camps. The partners Europejskie Forum Mlodziezy ""Fraternitas”, Youth Europe Service and Xeracion Valencia have experience in working on camps for youth, who will support in creating the result so it can be used by others across Europe.Result 2: Online-Coordination Platform for European Summer CampsA platform to search for and coordinate summer camps, that will primarily serve rural woodlands of Europe but will also target semi-urban areas will help the youth groups to network and work on developing green youth work. The platform will have the steps in the handbook available for users on a Europe-wide basis that will help them understand the stages of organisation, implementation and follow-up of summer camps.The long-term impact of the project is:(i) resilient societies ushered in by resilient youth from both urban and rural areas(ii) creation of structures to allow youth to develop their ‘green skills’ to invent innovative solutions to combat climate change(iii) understand the value of reducing the individual carbon footprint and taking actual steps to do it, including a change in lifestyle(iv) using the tips and techniques in the handbook to undertake actual activities, even as a weekend-affair in multiple regions(v) network with other regions across Europe and spread tips, tricks and other ideas on collective youth-led climate action(vi) contribute ideas and to the discussion towards the European Commission’s Europe-wide digital platform for the Conference on the Future of Europe with #TheFutureIsYours(vii) build team-skills and life-skills in youth, as defined by the WHO(viii) awareness-raising on waste use, reduction, recycling and upcyclingTransferability Potential of the two results:(i) To countries that are not involved in this project but have a culture of involving youth in environmental action(ii) Countries and regions that have vast swathes of forests and lakes(iii) Countries, cities and communities tending towards becoming climate-neutral(iv) Additional translations, when commissioned could also help furthering the result’s outreachTo ensure we, as the resilient society of Europe are always on road, running the ‘green marathon’, the project targets small actions, for every big journey begins but with a single step, our project Joint Ventures: Jeunes et des espaces vertes is but one of them."

    Funder Contribution: 149,251 EUR

    The aim of the project is to create a mobility scheme, labelled W_UP Tour, to support young people and non-profit organisations to develop entrepreneurial activities on waste upcycling both in Europe and in Asia. These mobilities will be defined as a mixture of raising awareness tours and change-making actions organised by 3 European and 3 Asian non-profit organisations working on the field, with the purpose of: offering quality-learning experiences to international participants; raising awareness at international and local level on waste issues; financially support non-profit organisations and local communities through social entrepreneurship; help the local community to manage better manage the waste. The need to promote a new mobility model specifically on “waste upcycling” steam from a common interest expressed by all partners that have noticed increasing environmental concerns at local and national level due to the lack of proper waste collection and treatment facilities. By valuing the know-how of the partners involved, the project aims to enhance the organisations’ competencies to host and implement change-making experiences on waste upcycling with common quality standards, and to develop an innovative sustainable entrepreneurial concept, based on non-formal education principles, to make positive impact in local communities. The idea of this new mobility format comes from the experience of the VolunTour in Asia and the Change-making Tour in Latin America: the most enriching part of these mobilities, according to the partners, was visiting other non profit organisations, working on a specific change-making topic, and mobilising local people to impact in their social contexts. The W_UP tour will be implemented in each partner country and it will involve between 10 and 15 foreign participants travelling with 5 to 6 youth workers from the consortium. The Tour will last 14 days and will be focused on waste upcycling for entrepreneurial activities. During the trip the participants will discover the local context on waste management together with local community and stakeholders dealing with it, like experts, local NGOs, public institutions and local people, to perform educational activities with young people, campaigns and workshops on waste upcycling. In the last days of the W_UP Tour a dissemination event with local authorities and relevant stakeholders will be organized to present the outcomes of the mobility and raise awareness in the local communities. After each W_UP Tour, there will be a local workshop on waste upcycling run by each partner organisation with the help of a local expert. The workshop will foster active participation of the local community and will contribute to help local people look for innovative solutions on waste management in their own social contexts.
