<< Objectives >>The concrete objective of this project is to promote the entrepreneurial opportunities in the Creative and Cultural Industries (CCIs) for the youth (aged 16-30) by offering a gamified approach to training to young people, youth workers and educators, specifically through the use of Escape Rooms (ERs). ERs will be leveraged as a gamified, inclusive, immersive and engaging training method.<< Implementation >>We will implement different content creation activities: the creation of the guidebook on ERs and CCI entrepreneurship for youngsters, a collection 9 ER scenarios and a white paper to explain how to best use the project resources. A testing phases will be organised to guarantee the results' quality. Additionally, we will lead ongoing quality management and engage in various dissemination actions, and one transnational team meeting.<< Results >>In this project, three different results will be created. Firstly, a guidebook that will offer the necessary background knowledge for youth workers and CCIs stakeholders to effectively leverage ERs to CCI entrepreneurship training. Secondly, we will create 9 ER scenarios for youth workers and educators that will be freely available. Lastly, a white paper will be written to ensure that the resources of the project can be adopted in the best way possible.

<< Background >>As announced in the Green Deal launched by the European Commission, every economical sector must commit to the ecological and solidarity transition. The associative actors are important components of the European Union’s social and economic tissue and would represent more than 9 million workers in 2010 (see: https://www.ess-europe.eu/sites/default/files/qe-30-12-790-fr-c.pdf). As a consequence, those actors are able to answer the social inclusion requirement formulated in the Green Deal by supporting their public in the reinforcement of their autonomy and of the cooperation which enables them to deal collectively with the effects of climate change. However, in order to be effective with the public, leaders and teams must carry the challenges and opportunities to act and be equipped to share them with their ecosystem.The consortium’s five partner associations are all support structures for small and average associations, resources centres for associations and/or eco-pedagogical tools, training organisations and/or structures that have a dissemination role with the target audience. They all see an increasing request for information and tools to support the ecological transition from their staff, users, public and/or associative partners.In 2018, the APES, a partner association, carried out a consultation in the Hauts-de-France region to which 83 associations, essentially of small and medium size, answered (see: http://apes-hdf.org/page-24-237-0.html#menu). This survey has revealed in particular that 86% of the associations wished to take further account of the environmental impact of their activities. Several obstacles to change in practices has been identified:- Nearly 50% feel that they lack of knowledge about methods- About a third express a lack of human and/or financial resources or skills to act and a lack of support.In order to facilitate action, the actors particularly express the following needs. Between 40 and 50% wished to:- take part in exchanges of experience- benefit from support for the development of territorial projects in cooperation with other actors- participate in collective intelligence sessions- be informed, meet actors and expertsA third of the associations wished to:- be trained- meet institutional partners- benefit from support for the implementation of environmental practicesCEPS has identified similar needs especially with small and average socio-cultural associations of its territory which took part in the project “From the socio-cultural associations, we act against climate change” (http://www.ajsosteniblebcn.cat/guia_fem_pinya_cc_126190.pdf). The purpose of this 12-month project (directed by Barcelona City Council in collaboration with Trànsit Projectes, from which CEPS comes from) was to “promote the socio-cultural actors’ role as key actors of the movement, involve them in promoting the individual and collective action for climate change mitigation and adaptation. This project allowed to identify needs (gap between awareness of eco-responsible practices such as recycling, optimal use of electricity and water, etc. and difficulties to implement them) and to initiate changes in eco-responsible practices through training and the creation of a guide within these structures. The conclusion is that further actions are needed to support local action by providing essential awareness-raising and methodological tools to small associations.<< Objectives >>To answer those needs, the Ecological Transition and Sustainable Development of Non-Profit Organisations project (TEDDA) proposes the creation of tools to raise awareness and improve the associative actors’ skills to sustainably engage their ecological transition in the functioning and the activities of their organisation on the issues of resource saving, reduction of energy consumption and waste, choice of purchasing policies, food and sustainable mobility...Our target audience includes a diversity of small and medium organisations (between 0 and 25 employees) which have a local anchorage in which we identify 3 groups of target associations :- networks leaders in charge of supporting and training small and average associations,- associations whose awareness-raising and/or training activities with other small and average associations and/or citizens, elected officials… are linked to the ecological transition thematic,- popular education associations in many areas and especially insertion of vulnerable people through work, social and artistic life. It will involve for example leaders, animators, social centres referents who act as socio-professional guides for a fragile public.Within these associations, we distinguish two sub-groups of target audiences : the association leaders (director and elected volunteers) and the employees and field volunteers that we want to involve in the project so that everyone can have resources corresponding to the possible structural and individual action level.These associations will then become a vector of the message in favour of the respect of the environment towards their users, who are the project’s final audience. Indeed, they will benefit from the implementation of inspiring eco-responsible practices inside the structures they frequent and from the better support of their eco-citizen initiatives thanks to the skills development of the associative actors on the reduction of energy consumption and waste issues as well as responsible purchasing policies.The operational objectives of the TEDDA project are the following ones:- Raise awareness and acculturate the target associations’ staff into the environmental challenges and the ecological emergency;- Promote permanent changes for eco-responsible practices in the associations (resource saving, reduction of energy consumption and waste, choices of purchasing policies, sustainable food and mobility…);- Improve the participants’ skills in mobilizing their audience and partners in awareness-raising activities and eco-citizen practices;- Promote the European actions in favour of the ecological transition.<< Implementation >>From this perspective, the activities of the TEDDA project will consist in:- IO 1: creating an inspiring role models gallery allowing to give visibility, value and demystify the ecological transition of associations by promoting structures which developed concrete and innovative proposals;- IO 2: creating educational and playful games about ecological transition in associations allowing to raise awareness, inform and obtain a shared consciousness and knowledge level on climate change and ecological emergency and create a desire to act;- IO 3: formalising a methodological guide for leaders, employees and volunteers allowing an auto diagnostic and the implementation of concrete and adapted changes for a successful ecological transition;- IO 4: creating a white paper allowing to raise awareness, arouse interest, appropriate a common sight and language by the whole actors and decision-makers of the associative sector and the social economy and establish political guidelines.- Organising five public events to raise awareness among a wider audience (associations, public institutions and citizens) about our tools and the need to act in favour of the ecological transition.Those innovative educational resources will be built thanks to the partners’ complementary expertise (they all have already experimented in their respective territories the implementation of actions about ecological transition through the design, animation or follow-up of trainings and support measures and/or participation in projects), and the involvement of associations from different countries of the partnership. The importance of local, national and european networks developed by each partner will guarantee the participation, the dissemination, the visibility and the success of the project and the IOs.The direct target groups will be involved all along the project in the construction or testing phases of the productions, so that they internalize the ideas, use the IOs and share it with their networks even after the end of the project. Thus, it is planned to associate 188 associative staff members (elected and field volunteers, managers, and employees) including 16 persons from the consortium and 172 from associations operating in various sectors (social and professional insertion through culture, environmental and citizenship education, sports, etc…) as social centres, sports clubs, youth community centres, training organisations... It is also planned to mobilize a total of 185 external participants during 5 public events. Those associative actors come from the local, regional, national and european networks of associations of the consortium. They will then be able to use the IOs and highlight the TEDDA project tools by sharing it with their networks.The project partners will be vigilant in reducing as much as possible the carbon cost of their activities of IO production, project management, communication and events organised without compromising the quality and the possibility of dissemination.<< Results >>In order to answer the previously identified and enounced needs, the TEDDA project wants to reach several results. Our actions will end up with a combination of tangible (tools) and intangible (change of mind) results.The tangible results are:- Production of useful educational mediums for involved actors to acculturate to climate change (IO 2, 3 and 4: serious game, methodological guide and white paper)- Production of tools promoting changes in practices (IO 1: inspiring role models tool worksheets presenting concrete examples of key success factors of sustainable approaches in associations and IO 4: white paper)- Production of a support tool for changes in practices (IO 3: formalisation of a methodological guide for the implementation of eco-responsible practices in associations)- Production of a tool which encourages associations and stakeholders to actively commit themselves to the ecological emergency (IO 4: whitepaper: digital kit containing a decalogue and video messages in favour of the simplicity of the approach and the savings thanks to ecological practices).The intangible results are:- Awareness and/or improvement of knowledge on climate change challenges and levers for action for target audiencesAbility to estimate the carbon footprint of the organisation’s activity and to measure the collective efforts to be made within the association to reduce it.- Skills development for associative staffs to engage sustainable changes in their professional activities (knowledge of good practices and access to a methodology)- Promote the project among the political decision-makers at local, regional, national and European level through the dissemination events and the white paper- An indirect result will be to favour the awareness and the knowledge of the general public (citizens) as the associations will be carriers of the transition and will be able to inform and support their users in the eco-responsible approachesThe co-building of these tools will guarantee the creation of a replicable and transferable project throughout the European Union. Freely available online in French, Spanish and English, our productions will be usable everywhere in Europe. In order to guarantee the widest dissemination of our productions and thus multiply the impact of the TEDDA project in the EU, a coordinated communication plan mobilizing various dissemination channels will be set up.The TEDDA project will have the impact of massifying and promoting the actions in favour of the ecological transition through a mobilisation effort and collective actions. The consortium intends to impulse the partnership dynamics and encourage the synergy of the living forces of their territories in order to reduce the environmental impacts of the associative structures.In the long run, the associations will be aware of their environmental impact and will have changed their practices in order to minimise it. They will also have been able to internalize and transmit the TEDDA project tools in their networks and their audiences.

The European Erasmus+ project « ACTIV – Acting & Collaborating to Tackle Intimate Violence » is composed by a Belgian (POUR LA SOLIDARITÉ-PLS -the coordinator-, la Mission locale de Bruxelles Ville), French (FACE), Romanian (Asociatia Touched Romania) and Spanish (CEPS) partners. ACTIV aims at fostering and facilitating the socio-professional (re)integration of women confronted with domestic violence (DV). It will gather various actors likely to intervene on their return-to-work (RTW) path, involve them from the very beginning in the realisation of the project thanks to a collaborative methodology. Those actors will participate to the construction of the tools dedicated to their own improvement, regarding support, orientation and integration of the concerned women. The overall objective is to break down the barriers between too often insulated worlds (that of support and orientation toward socio-professional integration and that of companies) by creating synergies between them.The fight against DV is an issue considered at European level. According to a 2014 European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights study, 1 European women in 3 is faced with gender-based violence and over 1 European women in 5 is faced with DV. The European Added Value (EAVA) has estimated that in 2011, the yearly cost of gender violence in the EU amounted to around 228 billion of euros (1,8% of the EU GDP). The Istanbul Convention provides a legal framework to help and support women facing DV. The Convention advocates for an « access to services facilitating their recovery from violence ». According to the Convention, assistance to women must be a comprehensive pathway including all aspects of help, from psychological support to finding a job.However, there is a lack of communication/collaboration between the different actors involved in the socio-professional (re)integration of women confronted with DV. Unemployed women facing DV at home have to overcome a number of obstacles on their RTW path (e.g.: lack of self-esteem, emotional and material instability, difficulty to face complex administrative requests, confiscation of official documents by the perpetrator and restrictions to go out). To overcome them, all the actors involved (support and orientation structures and companies) have to work hand in hand. The ACTIV project has therefore been built to enable this collaboration between actors in order to offer a comprehensive and effective support to women faced with DV on their RTW path. To build this path, the collaboration between European partners with complementary expertise backgrounds and knowledge is necessary and will allow a cross-analysis of the existing gaps and strengths of each country and organisation. It will also serve as a lever to ensure that international actors such as companies can easily get engaged, and guarantee that the results of the project are compatible with the different national contexts, and that future EU initiatives can be built upon them. The ACTIV project will aim at: -Publishing a Guidebook underscoring key milestones of a successful RTW path (IO1):*20 support structures, 20 orientation structures, 20 companies and 20 women confronted to DV involved;*Identification of the limits in the existing supports provided to concerned women but also positive initiatives existing at the UE and national levels that help their socio-professional (re)integration; *Proposition of a framework of indicators that all actors involved in their RTW path could use to get an overall follow up of the concerned women.-Creating a learning toolkit for the structures involved in the RTW path of women confronted with DV (IO2):*Organisation of 4 hackathons (1 in each country, 20 participants in each);*Involvement of women confronted with DV to make them actors for change in order to strengthen their self-confidence and to ensure that the tools developed meet their needs;*Reinforcement of mutual knowledge, in particular with regard to companies, actors newly involved in fighting DV; *Collaborative elaboration of the learning tools ensuring an improvement of the support provided to women confronted to DV on their RTW path.-Producing a white paper addressed to policy makers, companies decision makers and all organisations working on the topic with recommendations to improve support for women on their RTW path (IO3):*Organisation of 4 webinars to consult various stakeholders (1 in each country, 15 participants in each);*Dissemination of the White Paper to 50 decision makers in each country and 50 European decision makers.-Raising the awareness to the challenges of the socio-professional reintegration of women confronted with DV through: *a broad communication and dissemination campaign, including the creation of a website and free access to the project tools; *both national and EU dissemination events; *the strengthening of existing networks and the development of new synergies

"<< Background >>Climate change and migration present two seemingly separate global challenges. These global themes are inextricably linked and, according to the International Organization for Migration (2018), ""estimates suggest that climate change could be a major cause of displacement between 25 million and 1 billion people over the next 40 years"". In addition to the cause-and-effect relationship between them, climate change and migration prove that these issues are cross-cutting and global and should be addressed as such. Namely, in addition to the contribution of the lion's share to the problem of climate change and migration, the global north also controls the way in which challenges are addressed in ways that often serve to strengthen existing unequal power structures. However, climate change is a challenge that, if left unchecked, will affect the whole world and, as a result, have a major impact on human migration. The beginnings of the consequences of global warming are already clearly felt in the form of more frequent and longer heat waves, stronger droughts and more frequent disasters and floods. Such changes are already bringing about changed conditions for food production, the extinction of animal and plant species, the faster spread of infectious diseases and great economic damage. However, extreme weather can also lead to immediate migratory responses. According to IOM (2008), “the number of natural disasters has more than doubled in the last two decades and more than 20 million people have been displaced by sudden natural disasters related to climate”.As part of the pan-European “ClimateOfChange” campaign, last year Ipsos conducted a survey among young people (aged 15 to 35) in 23 European countries.The results of the survey show that young Europeans see climate change and environmental degradation as the main policy priorities, while on the other hand they generally perceive migration as less worrying. Almost half (46%) of young Europeans consider climate change to be one of the most serious problems facing the world, which ranks them first among those problems, including the COVID-19 pandemic. In second place is “environmental degradation, including for example air pollution, deforestation and animal extinction” (44%). However, only 13% consider ""migration"" to be one of the most serious problems facing the world.The Beyond the tales project is thus a response to the discrepancy in linking climate change and migration among young people, which builds on the results of research that suggests that young people do not currently link climate change and migration to a large extent, but are aware of their connection to the future. In this regard, youth workers often report that they do not feel qualified to address pressing, current and global issues such as climate change and migration, and consequently their support for young people who are already active is weakened.<< Objectives >>Global problems are not isolated, they are interdependent, intertwined, complex, so it is important that their addressing is just that, connected. The general objective of the project is aimed at youth workers in order to provide knowledge and information aimed at acquiring and strengthening competencies and a critical understanding of climate migration. Through the educational-awareness project we want to promote and strengthen the connection and solidarity between youth workers and young people and to spread understanding, solidarity, and encourage activation for a climate and socially just society.An important project goal is also the implementation of a communication plan, through which we will inform the general public about the project contents and encourage public discourse on climate migration, which is currently an overlooked topic. Last but not least, the goal is to increase the organizational capacity of the NGO sector in partner countries through the dissemination of acquired organizational knowledge through the networks of partner organizations. Through project activities, we want to support and promote the new EU initiative ""Climate Education Coalition"" in the fight against climate change.<< Implementation >>The implemented project activities are related to the project results and outcomes, which are described below in the application form.<< Results >>The Strategic Project Partnership will achieve the following project results:a project website (1), which will be the focal point and place where most of the project results will be grouped together, and which will address climate change and migration by linking personal stories and expertise. Content modules will also be available on it.Conducted lectures and workshops that will contribute to capacity building and organizational - development of partner organizations (5)- preparation of infolists (5) with recommendations for strengthening the capacities of organizations in certain content areas and the field of organizational development- Carrying out a qualitative survey (1) in the form of a focus group in each of the partner countries, which will present an in-depth analysis of the needs and work of youth workers in the areas of climate change, (climate) migration and youth activism. A comparative analysis between countries will also be made. So far, no qualitative analysis exists in any of the partner organizations and in the wider sector.- Mapping of available tools, approaches, research and theories (1) in each partner country on global learning, climate change, climate migration, youth activism and related topics- The preparation of content modules (3), which will be designed interactively, will contain professional material presented in a creative way and materials in the field of global learning, climate change and climate migration and social engagement of young people, and which will be updated twice during each training cycle.- training of youth workers and other educators (2), based on non-formal education methods and a combination of online and offline methods (short videos, tasks to be completed by participants, practical work in international pairs, group, field work with young people ) and on which the contents of the modules will be presented. Youth workers will be encouraged to connect the newly acquired knowledge (related to both content and methods for working with young people) in the module with their own local issues, which will make it easier to identify with topics and address them in the future. . We will update the trainings twice based on the feedback obtained from the training participants.- Online meeting of all trainees (4) before and after each of the trainings- Blended training (1)- Conducting a national competition on climate change and migration (1) in each of the partner countries, which will encourage young people from the partner countries to reflect on this topic through the recording of their stories, while increasing the visibility of the project- a booklet with stories Beyond the tales (1), which will contain personal stories and records of young people on climate change and migration. It will be based on interviews conducted by young people under the mentorship of youth workers with young people from associated partner organizations (mostly) from the countries of the global south. The booklet will be an upgrade of Humanitas ’booklet Her stories (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LgHrCdNRHGhRwr71nZBJN6a92MfQYyin/view), which has been recognized as good practice by NA Movit. The booklet will therefore contain a.) Stories based on interviews, b.) Stories selected in national competitions, c.) Links to view events (in QR format) performed by associated partners.- online events of associated partner organizations (3), where the associated partners will prepare a presentation of the thematic content of the project through their eyes in a form of their choice (climate change, migration, youth participation…)- International Conference on Climate Migration (1), with the participation of all partner organizations- Multiplication event in partner countries in the last quarter of the project (3)- Strategic meetings of the partner consortium (5)- Preparation and implementation of a communication plan (1)"

Videogames have started to be used in the classroom with learning aims beyond fun and entertainment: they are not only tools to teach advanced logics, strategy, design, storytelling or programming but an obvious source of employability for learners: videogame industry is the number one creative industry in the world. However, what remains certainly unexplored is the possibility of guiding teachers and learners to create adapted videogames to their own needs for educational and training purposes. In order to help this process, CO-GAME proposes to take as a point of departure the historical context of a particular building or space close to the learners (involving social, cultural, political, economic, technological and, amongst all, civic aspects). History and common heritage are thus be seen as the close step to introduce the learners in videogame creation. So, CO-GAME generator project has the following aims:1. To boost the potential of the production of videogames by learners for education and training2. To create adaptable and practical tools to generate videogame educational training courses3. To interconnect new ways of narrativity for a living civic heritage 4. To connect VET institutions with stakeholders in the videogames industry and other VET institutions in order to create job opportunitiesIn order to do that, partners will create a specific CO-GAME generator curriculum, able to be adapted by any VET stakeholder based in the following elements:- a Civic Heritage descriptor (where the main historial and civic aspects are identified, in this case, Middle Age for CEPS -Barcelona; Castles in Linz- BFI; historical streets in Budapest – Laterna Magica; Ancient Rome in Rome- CIES and pioneer scientists in Mons- Mundaneum)- a videogame for VET production guide (with specific indications for the software development)- a videogame for VET design guide (including how to develop story, puzzes, storyboard and documentation)- a qualification assessment tool (to link the training actions with National and International qualification system)- a Press-releaser, or a tool to create press-releases; the specific instrument used to get known or get a job in videogames industryWith CO-GAME generator curriculum (FR, IT, ES, EN, DE, CAT), partners will develop and test a module for Train the trainers addressed to teachers of their organisations. This module will be an Open Educational Resource, 3.0 Creative Commons licensed, with blended learning sections (presential and elearning) Those teachers will lead the creation of 5 local training units (one per country, lasting 30 h for 15 pax each) , where learners (with balanced women participation) will create at least 25 games. All the modules will be picked up in a digital compilation to be disseminated in an International Multiplier event in Barcelona and in national multiplier events in Austria, Italy, Belgium and Hungary.Local impact- adaptation of the curriculum and models to local training projects- balanced participation of women in ICT oriented training- adaptation of the staff of VET institutions to new job framesstrengthen employability (acquisition of new skills);- increase the capacity of experimenting, innovating and contributing to change in educational sector- developed and maintained close, lasting and productive ties with employers, clients and other educative institutions in the sectors of reference;- new ways of cooperation with the world of employment;National impact-contribute to a creative economy that has an influence in the economy and society;-introduce innovation in VET in order to meet requirements in VET and on labour markets-increase awareness of the stakeholders of the importance of the potential of the correct and update use of digital technologies- openness and adaptability to new approaches as introducing videogames as an educative possibility in the classroom- Focus on videogame industry as a focus for employmentEuropean impact- Awareness of European VET partners of the videogame creation for the use for training purposes and increasing of employability- New links between VET providers and videogames industry players
