    "Migrants successful integration may enrich and contribute toward the development of the mainstream society. In those efforts, informal education and ""peer to peer"" learning may play a significant role. Successful migrant path to integration may become a model for their peer group. Development of skills, including language proficiency, social and soft skills competencies may be supported by the creativity and art. INTEGRART is a project aimed at enhancing the quality of informal education of adult migrants. They are co-designers and co-creators of the integration supporting material including material and information in social media and short featured films presenting songs and melodies assisting them in gaining language social integration. To achieve that goals the Community of Practice and Art will be build and sustained supporting integration efforts The main goal of the project is to improve and support migrant integration by creativity and art delivering high-quality, authentic material which creates curiosity and positive attitude toward integration of migrants.INTEGRART will involve migrants in helping their peer group boost creativity, integrate knowledge and skills, connecting their expectations and needs to the real world, and their interests and personal goals. Specifically, they will help them connect and improve their abilities to influence others as pathfinders of better integration within hosting society. Project partners invite migrants as co-designers and co-creators to explore the best ways for better integration through focused music driven artistic projects The participants - migrants - will work in different environments - online, on the meetings and workshops - to design, create, select, filter and test music based visual, text and multimedia resources supporting effective integration efforts.The approach of the INTEGRART project is to jointly develop and engage migrants into successful integration using digital education tools. INTEGRART project build innovative system for supporting training for a new generation of competent and creative migrants. Digital apprenticeships focused on migrant needs will facilitate their integration efforts using digital tools and methods and consequently path the way to access to social integration in their host country. The focus of the project will be development of the comprehensive system and tools supporting integration of migrant civic leaders using digital tools supporting their creativity through ART. Most of their training will be based on the individually crafted support building digital skills and competencies. Special focus in the INTEGRART project will be given to support of the migrant women and girls. The base of the training will be 2018 Horizon Europe seal of excellence award winning platform SMRT.BIO which measure strengths and passion psychometric tests which will help migrants to build individual digital competencies integration development plans. It will be done while working for creation of the migrant focused ad hoc project groups who helps the migrant leaders to learn their digital skills in exchange for their continued engagement for joint creative projects for an agreed period 3-4 months during which they will achieve significant measurable digital competencies. The planned duration of the project is 24 months. The INTEGRART project partnership includes Foundation of support of local ties - Linking Foundation (PL) SMRT.BIO Holding (NL) The European Centre for Women and Technology. (NO) The project will include development of the 3 intellectual outputs.1) Development of the methodology for gathering digital skill need analysis among migrant community with the special emphasis of women and girls 2) Development of the benchmarking analysis for the integrating of the migrant communities using new digital tools and competencies 3) Creation of the experimental group of migrant Community of Practice and Art in european cooperation including Poland, Netherlands and Norway based on the SMRT.BIO methodology."

    The project is based on a key idea: an innovative approach that seeks to promote and make visible good practices of entrepreneurs and innovative women, coming from vulnerable groups and / or the rural environment, training them to promote that they can be able to use all kinds of tools and digital services at their disposal, to help them to develop their skills, build and implementate these tools, generate opportunities, as well as stimulate the development of new solutions and alternatives in relation to entrepreneurship and employment. The aim is to encourage and improve entrepreneurship and employment of women from vulnerable groups and / or rural areas through training in the use and use of technological tools and services. In addition to this training to the educated, the project also seeks to train trainers and workers in the field of adult education, so that not only handle such tools, but at the same time, will be able to promote their use and expose their advantages. This project will also make visible the technological leadership of gender, promoting an accurate image of the innovative and entrepreneurial capacities of women. On the other hand, this project is based on an idea that is already underway in Spain at the national level, the InnovadorasTIC project, which can now grow and extend its reach, taking this proven methodology to other countries and women, achieving fruitful results. international contacts between beneficiaries and organizations, which will promote European culture, the exchange of ideas, experiences and knowledge, and solidarity between countries. Finally, the project fits in with the Sustainable Development Goals, and especially with objectives 5, 8 and 10. In particular, goal 5 (Achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls) is the axis in around which the whole idea orbits, seeking to reduce the gender gap in the use and access to new information technologies. This only emphasizes the need for the project to be conceived transnationally, to help alleviate a gap, that of gender, which is presented transversally, and which coexists with inequalities of another type between territories. At the same time, work at European and international level allows improving management skills, cooperation between entities from different countries and promoting the integration and adaptation of various educational practices.

    The rules of modern European society are changing. People want to have an active role in defining the way they live, the way they learn, the way they work, the way they interact. They are shaping the world and helping it to grow and develop through the creation of new ideas, partnerships and businesses. With the development of social technologies, the opportunities for budding entrepreneurs also grow. As was reported in the E-Skills Manifesto, 2014, “ICT induces social phenomena such as mass collaboration, social media and crowdsourcing [which] is reshaping social interaction and work processes.” Crowd-funding in particular is emerging as a dynamic system in which prospective entrepreneurs can find non-traditional funding sources to bring their dreams into reality. However, there are a number of persistent barriers to entrepreneurialism and in particular the use of crowd-funding. First of all, not all Europeans have the skills needed, even where the technologies exist. Developing skills that foster innovation and entrepreneurial initiative are becoming more and more critical. In-demand skills of the future include “innovation, questioning, challenging, dreaming, imagining, experimenting, learning and enterprising” (E-Skills Manifesto, 2014) as well as “idea generation, problem solving, critical thinking, and cross-cultural communication” (H2020 EAG SC6). As a result, new approaches and training systems are required to help Europeans acquire the 21st century skills that are needed for innovation and entrepreneurship. This project will focus on the following area: How women, by acquiring the skills needed for the 21st Century, can use crowd-funding successfully in order to take an active role in entrepreneurialism and innovation. By providing training and opportunities for virtual and trans-national collaboration between participants, this proposal aims to foster the participation of women in successful entrepreneurial growth. The main objective of WaW project is to facilitate more effective provision of collective business and innovation support services to ensure women understand and take advantage of the opportunities offered by new ICT tools. Specific objectives of the proposed project are: • Improve access to knowledge, increase levels of co-operation and competence regarding ICT tools process and methods • Networking of society-support facilities to set up mechanisms for developing, sharing and disseminating effective approaches in supporting innovative entrepreneurship, as well as openness to new technologies • Develop a training tool that will acquire competences and skills by adults • Pooling expertise in networks to help adults to solve legal, organizational and human capital issues associated with innovation processes • Improve the qualification of female adults through the promotion of a series of transversal skills like creativity, initiative, problem solving, risk assessment and decision taking • Improve public awareness on good practice examples regarding crowd-funding • Promote continuous learning training in workplace • Increase awareness of innovation and technology approaches to combat difficulties and setback during the innovation generation process The above actions will be achieved through: • A structured survey, which will attempt to identify how the skills of the 21st century can be acquired • A structured survey that will attempt answer the elements and issues that need to be included in a crowd–funding campaign so that it will be a successful one • Handbook on how the different target groups can acquire these skills • e-learning courses for acquiring the skills • Handbook on how a crowd-funding campaign be a successful one • e-learning courses for mastering the art of successful crowd-funding • A platform to facilitate trans-national networking and collaboration • A piloting activity of crowd–funding campaigns of the women who have acquired the above set of skills in order to make their dreams reality • An evaluation procedure on crowd-funding process and the end results This project will foster participation of women from among many different backgrounds, ethnicities, ages, nationalities and levels of education, specifically targeting unemployed, immigrant and older women. By doing so, this project aims to make a long-lasting impact by providing the tools to empower women who have the potential to make social and economic imprint, but may otherwise lack the opportunity to bring their dreams into a reality. Moreover, this project takes place transnationally in order to address the diverse set of skills across the EU, while also addressing common complex problems that can inhibit growth and innovation. This will enable the project to take into consideration cultural and social differences and respond to the needs of as many EU regions as possible.

    Funder Contribution: 203,120 EUR

    EMERGE is an EU Erasmus+ project bringing together project partners and experts from Poland, Denmark, Norway, Turkey, and Ireland. This project aims to increase the number of female entrepreneurs in engineering by transforming their access to and the quality of the training they receive from Entrepreneurship, VET & HEI institutions.Increasing the number of female entrepreneurs is a key priority in the EU for reasons linked to economic and social development. The lack of female entrepreneurs is particularly evident in the field of Engineering. Despite high profile role models, overall female innovativeness and participation in the engineering sector have decreased, and ‘an unconscious bias’ still prevails.Poland, Norway, Denmark, Ireland, and Turkey are among the countries that have introduced measures to improve the institutional framework for female enterprise, but more needs to be done to overcome individual barriers, making sure that sure the small but growing number of females studying/working in Engineering are helped to identify entrepreneurial opportunities and build their business skills. The problem is that our VET and HEI institutions are ill-equipped to do so: most are unspecialized in the specific strategies that are shown to work best with female entrepreneurs; their staff is trained in generic/traditional business models (not Engineering specific) and they are not connected to universities/HE institutions to recruit graduate females emerging from Engineering subjects.The EMERGE online community, learning resources, and training events connect users to expert knowledge and advice. The first step is to join the EMERGE online social media community of engineers, lecturers, business advisors, and education providers.
