<< Background >>The Covid pandemic has accelerated digitization transformation and affected all sectors. The extent and use of digital technologies vary across sectors, but it is getting more and more important. Coronavirus pandemic has accelerated digital skills demand in non-ICT-related occupations. Digital competencies and skills became the basic skills in today´s world. But many adult learners and NGO workers (especially the elder generation) are afraid of digital transformation. They consider the topic of digitalization as younger generation tools and learning possibilities. NGOs workers as well as adult learners with which they cooperate, either employee, members, or volunteers, encounter a wide range of difficulties related to the lack of basic knowledge in recent and highly relevant digital spheres. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen adult learners and NGO workers (especially the elder generation) digital competencies and explain them in an understandable way the root of digitization, the basic principles, and its benefits. According to the analysis, workers of project-associated partners institutions and other NGOs, both in Lithuania and in partner countries face similar problems. A lot of institutions lack professional workers with the competencies necessary for digital marketing specialists.During the COVID-induced lockdown of 2020-2021, the pandemic situation resulted in layoffs and salary cuts. A lot of employees everywhere began feeling stressed about their careers. It became apparent that without upskilling or specialization, survival will be difficult in certain sectors. The absence of the necessary digital skills can have a number of adverse socio-economic impacts on the labour market. Therefore it´s necessary to enhance the digital competencies of adult learners and NGO workers (especially the elder generation) and prepare them for the upcoming requirements of labour market and increase their chances of employability and keep sustainable jobs in the future. A similar situation is in other project partner countries, as well as in all EU.<< Objectives >>The aim of the project is to support adult learners and NGO’s workers to improve their digital marketing capability and skills and better understand ways in which they can be supported in transforming themselves to be more competitive in the labour market.Project objective:- To develop educational materials for adult learners and NGO’s workers in digital marketing.<< Implementation >>These project objectives will be met by carrying out the following activities:1. Development of the O1. Microlearning courses2. Development of the O2. A Digital Toolbox of Best Practice Examples (Videos and Online Handbook)3. Development of the O3. A Learning portal4. Organizing piloting of O1. Microlearning courses and O2. A Digital Toolbox of Best Practice Examples (Videos and Online Handbook)5. Organizing evaluation of the project and its products.6. Organizing dissemination activities including multiplier events<< Results >>During the project three intellectual outputs are going to be developed and piloted:1. Microlearning courses: 3 Micro-courses. They will be developed in EN, LT, SI, CZ, and NL languages.Each of the microlearning courses will have 5 topics, where each topic will include from 10 to 15 learning units / lessons / microlearning “nuggets”. 2. A Digital Toolbox of Best Practice Examples (Videos and Online Handbook) will consist of:1. Video testimonials of partner organizations and other NGOs. 15 videos (each of 15-20 minutes).2. Online Handbook of Best Practice Examples, with practical tutorials of the best digital tools, services, and frameworks. ~50 pages.3. A Learning portal - a web-based software system that enables to access online microlearning courses (01) and Digital Toolbox of Best Practice Examples (02).At the outcome the following results are expected:- at least 100 trained NGO workers from Lithuania, Netherlands, the Czech Republic, and Slovenia, completed online learning micro-courses, ready to apply gained knowledge and skills in their organizations, also spread the knowledge at the local/national level, and pilot the developed outputs and collect important data, which will be useful to tune intellectual outputs accordingly and making them available for other users.- at least 500 well-trained adult learners from Lithuania, Netherlands, the Czech Republic, and Slovenia, completed online learning micro-courses, ready to apply gained knowledge and skills in their organizations, or new workplaces.

"The project ""Empowering Young People to Think Creatively in the Digital Age"" directly responds to the objectives, priorities, and initiatives of the Erasmus+ Strategic Partnerships in response to the Covid-19 situation: Skills development and inclusion through creativity and the arts.The purpose of the project is to develop the systemic capacity of organizations and institutions to provide quality non-formal education in the field of digital design to young people.Project objectives:- To provide youth trainers, who are educating or want to educate young people in the field of graphic design, with the knowledge and skills to awaken the creativity of young people.- To increase the creativity of young people developing graphic design products, to encourage them to social dialogue and cooperation.Target group:Direct beneficiaries are youth trainers who work or want to work with young people in the field of graphic design, but the final target group is the youth.During the project two intellectual outputs are going to be developed and piloted:1. Methodology for youth trainers ""Integral teaching of creativity and graphic design in non-formal education"".2. An online learning course for youth trainers.At the outcome the following results are expected:- at least 50 well-trained youth trainers from Lithuania, Netherlands, the Czech Republic, and Cyprus, completed an online learning course for youth trainers, ready to apply methodology at their local/national level and spread the knowledge;- at least 250 young people from Lithuania, Netherlands, the Czech Republic, and Cyprus to complete locally held programs implemented by the youth trainers trained during this project online learning course to pilot the methodology and collect important data, which will be useful to tune intellectual outputs accordingly and making them available for other users.The following activities are put on the agenda of the project: development of methodology and online learning course, youth trainers training during the project pilot online learning course, piloting of the methodology, blended mobility for youth, transnational meetings, multiplier events to disseminate the developed outcomes.In case of wide usage of the project created intellectual outputs, a long-term meaningful impact on the systemic capacity of organizations and institutions to provide quality non-formal education in the field of digital design to young people may be expected."

"The project ""HEALTH CREDU - Creation of healthy and safe learning environment as core drive of inclusive and equitable quality education"" background related to two of EU sustainable development goals: quality education and promotion of well-being.The project objective - was to create and help schools to apply the practical methodology to include elements of health and wellbeing education and improve academic outcomes. The main target group: teachers, students, parents.The additional target group: whole school community, stakeholders.The project was highlighting a need for a combination of health education at school and the development of a healthy learning environment as core drives to improve quality and equality in education and assure more effective health prevention. Project objectives were focusing on the improvement of skills and competencies of the whole school community in the fields of health behavior, management of social-emotional climate, and the creation of an engaging learning environment. In the project HEALTH CREDU two intellectual outputs were developed: 1. ''Healthy at school - engaged in learning'' methodology 2. Interactive Teaching ToolAs a result of the project, a methodology - model of multidisciplinary approach - and a set of tools were created, implemented, tested, evaluated, and prepared for wider international usage. The described model contains the following main parts: A. Relation between student's and teacher's health behavior, school social-emotional climate, and academic results. B. Improving eating behaviors - a way to boost a student's cognitive abilities. C. Putting physical activity (PA) on regular basis - ways to integrate PA into any subject of learning as a core drive for stress prevention, good mood, and a healthy learning environment. D. Social-emotional climate, competencies, and skills. What makes students happy to learn at school and feel safe? E. Community involvement - ways to engage students and their parents to contribute to the creation of effective learning processes.The developed methodology consists of the text files and additionally created video files, which are supporting methodology. The Interactive Teaching - an online repository created and filled with digitalized educational content to become the main support for the educators to get open online access to major topics related to the implementation and integration of the model, developed by the Health CREDU project. The tool is filled in with the following resources: 1. Combination of text and visual media learning material in the fields of healthy eating, different types of physical activity, and emotional intelligence. 2. A number of task examples to contribute to practical learning to empower students with more ownership in their learning with instructors acting as facilitators in guiding student activities. 3. Interactive learning technologies examples to engage students.All resources are put in the way that it would form an easy-to-grab-and-use structure characterized by three essential pillars: information to learn and teach at class (theory), practice to do at class, share the experience of others. All resources are put on the website: www.healthcredu.eu.15 educators’ from 3 partner countries (Lithuania, Latvia, and Cyprus) were trained and obtained knowledge and tools on how to apply elements of different health-related subjects into their daily curriculum and build a more effective learning environment. Teachers obtained tools to provide more interactivity to learning and engagement students. The methodology and tools are adaptable and flexible for all subjects. Participants' whole school community improved its skills of eating and physical activity behavior, coping with stress, collaboration, communication, emotional regulation. 258 students and their parents from 3 partner countries (Lithuania, Latvia, and Cyprus) became more aware of the relations between health behavior and academic results. According to teachers and student evaluation results during the piloting it can be declared that the integration of methodology and tools into the curriculum at school had a positive impact on students learning activity, motivation, learning outcomes. As schools and teachers, who participated in the IOs piloting, as well as associated partners-schools, continue using in the project created intellectual outputs, a longterm meaningful impact on the quality of education and health of the students and pupils may be expected.The following project activities have been implemented: creation, piloting, and development of intellectual outputs - methodology and tools, teachers training, transnational partners meetings, multiplier events to disseminate the outcomes.More than 6500 persons were introduced to the project Health CREDU developed methodology and tools, and its outcomes were well known in partner countries."
