Climate change and environmental destruction are a threat to Europe and the world. Circular Economy (CE) has been identified as one of the key priorities that requires attention and actions for all organisations, regardless their size. In comparison to larger corporations, SMEs have smaller capacity and less availability of knowledge and financial resources. This makes it more difficult for them to change their operations, product design, or the sourcing of raw materials. Consequently, since SMEs & micro-enterprises represent the dominant form of business organization in Europe (around 99%), the transition to a green economy without their participation could hardly be achieved.The REFRAME project will create a CE Transition Framework specifically for small and medium businesses in construction, manufacturing and crafts industry, to help them become friendlier to the environment. It will provide the EU construction & manufacturing SMEs and micro-enterprises’ employees and future employees with practical knowledge on implementing CE transition in their business. A ‘sizable, growing and active’ REFRAME on-line community will be created, with main objective the Up-to-date insight in Circular Economy, the exchange of know-how and good practices among the participants and the successful implementation of a CE transition for all SMEs and mixro-enterprises.Under the REFRAME, there will be developed:1) an Interactive Self-Rate Tool (IO1) for effectively assessing the current status of a company in relation to Circular Economy (CE) principles and strategies.2) a Circular Economy Course (IO2) that it will provide a curriculum adopted to the needs of construction and manufacturing SMEs and micro-enterprises3) an Implementation Framework (IO3) that will provide a systematic methodology for the target groups to implement a successful and advantageous CE transition4) the REFRAME iLearn Tool (IO4), which will be an Open Educational Resource and will include all the above.The target-groups of the project are divided into main and secondary.Main target-groups:1) Construction, crafts and manufacturing SMEs’ owners/managers/personnel with up to 100 employees & micro-enterprises2) (future) employees of manufacturing SMEs (Unskilled, Adept, Skilled)3) VET centres/trainers/consultants4) experts that support companies with CE processes (internally or externally)Other target-groups (secondary):manufacturing SMEs associations, university/college students, municipalities and cities The target groups and the participants will be involved at every stage of the project implementation in order to assure that their needs are always adequately and fully addressed, since they will benefit directly from the project outcomes.The REFRAME partnership is composed by 6 partners from 5 EU countries, Greece, Cyprus, Portugal, Bulgaria and Hungary. They will all give an added value to the transfer of the project's products, thanks to their experience in Circular Economy, the Environment protection, in training sector, in digital technologies and in international cooperation.

"<< Background >>Eurostat estimates that the EU-28 population aged 25-54 shows that in 2017 just over one third (35.4 %) of non-EU-born migrants had successfully completed at most a lower secondary level of education. These results show a clear need for education, lifelong learning and upskilling for adult migrants (Eurostat, 2018). As explained by Eurostat (2015), the working age of the migrant population (15 to 64 years) is 78% of the total and migrants in the EU are mostly in the 18 to 35 age range The percentage of unemployed rate in the different countries of those born outside EU is: Italy 12,7%, France 14,6%, Spain 20,7%, Germany 13,4 UK, the lowest one, 5,2%. Yet the global COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected vulnerable communities, including third-country nationals across the EU. The employment rate among migrants has dropped since the virus outbreak. In Spain, for example, unemployment in the migrant population had risen to almost 25% by early September 2020. The disproportionately high incidence on immigrants is also notable in Sweden, where 58% of recently unemployed since August 2019 are immigrants. In Austria, Norway and Germany, more than a third of the newly unemployed are migrants or foreign nationals. As one of the tools to combat unemployment and social inclusion, entrepreneurship is high on the EU political agenda. It is also a key competence in the European Reference Framework on Key Competencies for Lifelong Learning (2006) updated in 2018 https://eurlex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:52018SC0014&from=EN. Within this framework, the entrepreneurship 2020 action plan is a blueprint for decisive joint action to unleash Europe's entrepreneurial potential, to remove existing obstacles and to revolutionize the culture of entrepreneurship in Europe as pointed out in the document ""the missing entrepreneurs 2017 - policies for inclusive entrepreneurship"" published by the OECD in 2017. https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/employment/the-missing-entrepreneurs- 2017_9789264283602-en.This crisis of Employment in Europe has highlighted the major role which adult learning can play in achieving the Europe 2020 goals, by enabling adults to improve their ability to adapt to changes in the labour market and society. Adult learning provides a means of up-skilling or reskilling those affected by unemployment, restructuring career transitions, as well as making an important contribution to social inclusion, active citizenship, personal development and integration.In this context, the GREEN ANGELS project is focused on the development of a tested and validated educational format to teach basic, transversal and entrepreneurial knowledge specifically applied to the field of low-skilled labour opportunities to the target group of migrants. GREEN ANGELS project aims to generate a high quality learning opportunity, incorporating the development of essential skills for self-entrepreneurship involving motivation and social inclusion activities. These skills will be developed across the curriculum by using an innovative approach that combines classical learning with e-learning and media technology 2.0 through a web portal. In this way, the GREEN ANGELS project will design an interactive educational pathway available in all the languages of the partnership for use across Europe, to upskill low qualified and socially excluded migrants/BMEs and provide them with self-entrepreneurship competences giving them the opportunity to fight against exclusion and marginalization and enter the labour market.<< Objectives >>The GREEN ANGELS project builds capacities for self-entrepreneurship and promotes social inclusion of migrants in EU countries by empowering them to enter the job market through newly acquired or updated competencies and skills. More precisely, the project supports the re-skilling or up-skilling of migrants’ basic, transversal and entrepreneurial competencies through a new upskilling pathway to build their capacities as Social entrepreneurs while fulfilling a double objective: to promote the employability of migrants, and to meet the needs of their local communities. Additionally, the transversal area of the project will promote knowledge and competences for an environmental-friendly approach to small scale business activities, in line with the needs and requirements of the European Green Deal Communication https://ec.europa.eu/info/strategy/priorities-2019-2024/european-green-deal_en. There will be a transversal module focused only on the sustainable, green and sustainable materials and products that may be used in the delivering of the service, as well as indications on the differentiated waste as well as recycling and upcycling.<< Implementation >>The Green Angels Project will implement the following activities:1.Training Curriculum and training materials: – Identification of soft, core and green skills in 5 main areas + a transversal one: people care, house maintenance, landscaping as well as ICT Skills, Community Engagement and green and sustainable materials/products. Drawing a common route on educating, motivating, orienting migrants, updating old skills or giving them new ones in self-entrepreneurship following the principle of the community enterprise to act as “Green Angels” i.e. people with important skills to provide help, assistance and services in those areas most needed by their communities. The pathway will be in English and in all the languages of the partnership.2.GREEN ANGELS Web Portal: An interactive web portal for learning and promotion of services. It will contain a knowledge hub, including the curriculum and learning materials in all the languages of the partnership.3.GREEN ANGELS Service Hub: On the web portal local entrepreneurs can offer their services and provide contact details to potential customers. This section will be the meeting point between entrepreneurs and customers.4.Report of the short staff training activity. Description of the activity carried out, implemented and developed. Evaluation of the 3-day development activity.5.Testing report: Testing the GREEN ANGELS pathway in Italy, France, Spain and 36.6 (PL)Validation of the testing activity through the preparation of questionnaires delivered ex ante, in itinere and ex post piloting to edit a report showing criticisms, positive and negative aspects.6.Dedicated Project web site, logo, information brochures7.Dissemination activities: the project will be disseminated by using the dedicated web site, the brochures, articles, press releases and dissemination meetings in each country and other local partnership meetings.8.Evaluation reports - Evaluation and quality control: following the evaluation strategy the project will be monitored and controlled to see ensure that results and activities are developed. The reports will be issued by the project evaluator (36.6 – PL).9.Project Management Plan: will be implemented at the beginning of the project. It will include a financial manual, a dissemination plan and strategy, a quality assurance plan, a monitoring and evaluation strategy detailing the project's evaluation process.10.Stakeholder forum: each partner will establish a stakeholder forum to support the development of the project, the drawing in of complementary support services. The inclusion of local stakeholders all feeds into the sustainability strategy of the project It will be composed of at least 2 people that will be involved and addressed during the project. They will meet every 6 months.11.Organisation of the transnational meetings: each partner organising the meeting at home will be responsible of the organisation. The agenda will be decided together with the applicant and agreed upon by partners. Activities, costs and facilities selected by the hosting partner and agreed upon by partners. Once again, in case of Covid 19 restrictions, seminars will be organized on line using webex and hoping conferencing software.<< Results >>Green Angels project will produce the following project results:Project Result 1- GREEN ANGELS educational pathway for sustainable entrepreneurshipProduction of a target oriented module sustainable pathway for the start-up of a self-employment activity or business for dynamic new multi-skilled green entrepreneurs. The work load will be divided among partners equally Task 1 –Sustainable pathway development. The Task Leader will prepare special templates and forms to give all the units the same structures. The duration of each module will be decided by the partnership. A specific template for the collection of ideas, proposals and suggestions for training content. Task 2 - GREEN ANGELS guidelines for pathway A guide to analyse learners' profile, the competence/skills already gained and their potential, will be created in view of tailored pathways. This hard skills curriculum will consist in the identification of basic skills, competences and knowledge necessary for the basic interventions for entrepreneurs. Partners will identify blocks of basic skills to see if it is relevant to define areas of specialisation (basic construction maintenance, basic gardening/landscaping, basic homecare maintenance service) which would lead to different kinds of businesses according to the profiles of learners and their potential. It will include performance indicators and methods to assess the knowledge skills and competences gained.Task 3 Testing the GREEN ANGELS pathway-To validate the pathway, the GREEN ANGELS model will be tested in each country and a final general report will be issued. It will concern the testing of the pathway in their own country starting from a common report model. Reports will be collected and put together in a final and common report describing the activities, results, actions, problems and central further changes suggested for the curriculum delivered through the Web portal. Participants and trainers will provide feedback and concerns to the partners. Each partner will test the programme with a group of at least 10 learners. This report will outline the process used and the main results and outputs for the organisations, staff, target groups and other stakeholders involved in the pilot delivering. Task 4: Co-Design through “Expert Committee”, Employing the method of co-design ensures the quality and relevance of the pathway for the target group and is central to its development and validation. It ensures that the training modules are developed in accordance with the needs of the target group. Project Result 2-GREEN ANGELS interactive web portal developmentThe GREEN ANGELS project is characterized by a series of multimedia and interactive tools to support adult learning. The Material produced in the Project Result 1 will be adapted and uploaded in the GREEN ANGELS Web portal. The GREEN ANGELS web portal allows free access to teaching materials to promote distance learning (FAD) and also allow the implementation of materials according to an Open Source / Open Content modality.This open and interactive system aims to promote involvement and daily participation of beneficiaries in non-formal learning activities, encouraging them to adopt new behaviors in their everyday learning, social and working life and develop a vibrant innovation communityThe Web portal will be divided into 2 main sections:1. The e-learning pathway (Knowledge Hub)2. The service portal, (“Green Angels for you section) were users will be registered and can advertise their services"
