This project idea arise from the migration flow which is still a hot point for all over the world depending on the poverty, wars or other disadvantageous status for people. In this project, social adaptation of immigrant students in secondary school was selected as a main research problem. As it is, this project was a research project and it was designed to search the school experiences of immigrant and non-immigrant students in the same school environment. With this focusing point, this project was aimed to contribute on the inclusive education with the booklet which was aimed to create as a result of this project. To realize this main aim interviews made in Turkey, Germany and Italy with immigrant and non-immigrant students and their teachers. Three schools from Turkey, one school from Italy and one school from Germany was participated to the interview section of the project. Students from Turkey consists of 11 children, six of whom were immigrant and five were non-immigrant students at three different schools. Three immigrants and three non-immigrant students, from a school partner of the project from Germany constitute 6 participants. Students from Italy were 11 children, five of whom were immigrant and six of whom were non-immigrant students at a secondary school. Thus, student interviews were carried out with total 28 students, half of whom were immigrant and half of whom were non-immigrant from three countries. Additionally teacher interviews was consisted of 11 teachers from Turkey, 12 teacher from Italy and 5 teacher from Germany. The context of the interviews and the questionnaires were clarified in the first transnational meeting in Turkey and until the second transnational meeting all partner institutions conducted those interviews in their countries. Then all interviews was transcribed by the partners in English and they were carried to the second transnational meeting by partners. In second transnational meeting in Italy, those transcribes were discussed and the participants were informed about inductive analysis method by partners from Anadolu University. Afterly, transcribes was analysed, themes and sub-themes were clarified and a swot analyses were applied. Finally swot project was completed with a closing meeting which was hosted by German partner. This closing meeting was planed to be held in Frankfurt but depending on the covid 19 virus pandemia it was made in zoom.As it is aimed at the project application time, a booklet was created depending on the results of the SWOT analyzing in this project. This booklet includes the results of our project research and effective school practices which were observed in project schools or stated in the interviews by students or teachers. This booklet can be useful for all teachers, researchers or policy makers those of whom wants to make contribution on inclusive education and immigrant students social adaptation process. Additionally the data collection toolkit was generated and all those materials is presented on eu project results platform. Moreover the presentations about project process and minutes of the meetings are shared on eu results platform.

"The context where the ONSIDE project is located is the most acute situation of racism and situations of marginalization in society. Society evolves in most aspects, also in that of interculturality, tolerance and racism, but at the moment that situations of criticism and wide dimension arise, this evolution is one step back, or more than one. This reflection is clearly seen in facts, for example, such as Islamist terrorist attacks, immigration or the ""crisis"" of refugees, where the response of a large part of society is to reject not only the causes and / or those directly responsible or indirect, but also of the social group to which they can relate, such as those of the same religion, race or social situation. It is obvious that sport is part of society, and in this there are also these situations. In particular, football is a space where most of these situations are reproduced and multiplied given its impact, its wide practice and its victims.In this sense, the project presents clear and specific results working from a youth perspective and using non-formal education methodology. These results are:1. Provide tools and resources to the base of football clubs. Understanding this result as consulting football clubs based on situations and their way of working -> create / produce concrete tools that can be used to improve integration and combat racism -> And that these tools fit into their ordinary functioning .2. Provide tools and personal resources of young controllers of grassroots football. This result has the social capacity approach of different situations thus offering resources to know how to act.3. Racism and integration awareness campaign. Where it will focus not so much on a general and broad audience, but on the grassroots audience. Since the development of this campaign (name, implementation, breadth, ..) will be one of the elements to be produced by the partners, no more details can be offered that will be a targeted and effective campaign in the fields and football clubs.However, a project with these characteristics also requires actions such as promoting knowledge and collaboration among promoter organizations as well as satellite organizations. It is an opportunity not only to reflect and produce new tools, but to share experiences and good practices among entities. We believe that this can give a value beyond the objectives of the project since, inherently, knowledge will be shared in other areas such as European projects, relations with institutions, ...In reference to the beneficiaries we can establish that the following profiles are foreseen:- The young people of the categories of Cadet (14 and 15 years) and Youth (16, 17 and 18 years) or their correspondences in different countries. These will be the ultimate beneficiaries of the project's actions by receiving the workshops, activities or training developed therein. It is planned to access and implement these activities and materials in at least 100 teams of these categories (20 per entity). Therefore the beneficiaries would be about 1,500 young people.- The young coaches of teams of lower categories (pre-baby, baby and child) provided they are between 18 and 30 years of age. We know that it is quite usual that coaches of lower categories than cadets are usually young people in these ages who do not usually receive training beyond what they have received in their player stages and, in no case, reference training to cultural integration in the team or to fight against racism. We believe that these direct beneficiaries can be more than 150 young people.- The young people who perform the functions of arbitrators, being a group that receives technical training and conflict management, but is left homeless in training in the scope of this project. We believe that these direct beneficiaries can be more than 40 young people.The project consists of a duration of 18 months, 4 transnational meetings and a training activity. It has the different phases described and the active participation of 5 entities: Associació PROSEC as Coordinator, GEA of Italy, C.S.E.N. Comitato Provinciale di Perugia of Italy, United Societies of Balkans of Greece and OLTALOM of Hungary. All of them form a balanced consortium in experience and capabilities.We believe that among the partners, activities have been established in accordance with the objectives, properly dividing the tasks and functions into the three main approaches of the project (A3, A4 and A5) and establishing activities that guarantee the proper functioning of the project (A1), its diffusion (A2) and its quality (A6 and A7)."

<< Background >>The PACIFY-D project will be working towards providing innovative training opportunities to young people and establishing Country Info Points as local learning centres for youth education, developing guidance on the organisation and support of the operation of such environments. The purpose is primarily to strengthen democratic attitudes through civic engagement and civic participation. At the same time, the proposed project aims at addressing the needs below:NEEDS OF CITIZENS / YOUNG LEARNERSThe proposed project’s innovative aspects include targeted learning opportunities, specific skills development, and access to information. It will also contribute to increasing young people’s awareness of international relations/cooperation and representative democracy, as well as the role of diplomacy, foreign missions, and European values. It also encourages young men and women (especially those from diverse educational, social and geographical backgrounds) to actively participate in democratic processes by offering them the rare opportunity to engage in different types of diplomacy. The project aims at fostering young people’s active participation in their local communities’ social and political life, while promoting social inclusion, intercultural dialogue, knowledge and recognition of diversity and promotion of tolerance.More specifically, the Young Local Ambassadors will engage in non-formal learning activities around public diplomacy, also using cultural diplomacy tools, such as:•The arts including films, dance, music, painting, sculpture, etc.•Promotion of national languages lessons•Exchanges: scientific, artistic, educational etc.•Literature: book clubs showcasing national literary production•Broadcasting of news and cultural programs•Promotion and explanation of ideas and social policies, as well as engage in culinary diplomacy activities (organisation of food fairs, national cuisine workshops etc.). Among the resources to be used for these activities are Europe’s cultural collections online, including Europeana, the European Film Gateway, and material from the European Capitals of Culture.NEEDS OF PARTNERS, NGOs and CSOs.The proposed project aims to meet the needs of the partner organisations and the targeted NGOs and CSOs on the organisation and sustainability of CIPs as forward-looking learning (and intercultural awareness-raising) centres. This next step is identified as a unique opportunity and a way to engage with their beneficiaries and target groups. It will be achieved through the provision of training sessions and a guide on how to develop Country Info Points in targeted cities and regions as educational/cultural spaces. This is particularly important as it complements the need for the provision of alternative, informal or non-formal, educational activities to young people across Europe.<< Objectives >>PACIFY-D aims to:•Strengthen young people’s sense of initiative, by participating in the social and political life of their communities, while volunteering to foster intercultural dialogue, knowledge and recognition of diversity and promote tolerance.•Educate young people on issues of diversity, cultural differences, political representation, the conduct of international affairs/diplomacy•Confront interpersonal and intergroup/national stereotypes and enhance intercultural understanding as a means to promote better-integrated societies across Europe.•Promote better knowledge about the situation of young people and inform youth policies in Europe and beyond.•Enhance transfer of knowledge between young people from different ethnic backgrounds/countries, between Civil Society/Youth organisations, and between young ambassadors/ex-pats and policymakers in target countries.<< Implementation >>The project is based on a participatory approach and partner ownership and this is reflected in the way the work will be conducted. Tasks have been allocated to partners according to their expertise to ensure that the best use of resources is achieved.Under PR1, the project will embark on both secondary and primary research comprising extensive desk research and focus groups to support the mapping of good practices as regards practices using Youth Centres and cultural activities to encourage civil participation. In that sense, providing lifelong learning opportunities and skills will collectively lead towards strengthening local communities. Finally, to design and build the training programme, the partnership will rely on internal expertise but will also open the design to the views of the target group and of professionals in the field of training, diplomacy and intercultural relations, ensuring thus the applicability of the trainers’ training. The curriculum developed for the PACIFY-D project, will support and complete gaps in life-long learning education related to intercultural relations and will simultaneously encourage and strengthen democratic attitudes and contribute to the active participation of young people in the social and political life (including international relations). The consortium will ensure that the curriculum will be competitive and will draw attention from both youth learning providers and CSOs involved in international and (inter-)cultural relations.PR2 will be the phase of the development of CIPs as learning centres: The methodology and blueprint for the PACIFY-D model that will be developed by the project, will facilitate the development and operation of forward-looking learning centres based on international relations and (cultural) diplomacy, and will provide a model to be adopted and further followed by both youth learning providers and CSOs involved in cultural relations but also in a cross-sectoral way covering diplomacy and international relations aspects. Under PR2, the project will pilot-test the adaptation of public spaces used by project partners into forward-looking learning centre focusing on Young Local Ambassadors. The transformation of the local spaces to CIPs via the use of methodologies developed will contribute to further familiarise communities with EU culture and values, as well as foster social inclusion, and promote the civic participation of young people. The participants of the CIPs will enjoy the opportunity of a blended learning model including both taught modules and real-life activities. The merits of blended learning are widely acknowledged; this approach gives the opportunity to learners to accommodate learning in their own needs, widens up participation, and is considered pivotal for enhancing (esp. young) learners’ competences.PR3 will develop a policy handbook, including a final report on the YLA programme and best practices on CIPs, as well as concrete policy recommendations for the more successful inclusion of young people in the political life of their regions/cities, and in the decision-making process.<< Results >>The expected results of the proposed project during the project’s life are:•R1: Training programme for YLAs in developing skills – This output aims at developing and providing a) the training material for Young Local Ambassadors (YLAs) in the learning centres/Country Info Points; b) Piloting of YLA programme curriculum & evaluation; and c) the development of digital modules. The material will be prepared in both English and the native languages of the consortium implementing countries (Hungary, Italy, Spain, Greece, where CIPs will be established). This result aims at promoting active citizenship and raising intercultural awareness among youth in Europe, by supporting them in the development of key skills for the labour market;•R2: Guide for development of Country Info Points (CIPs) & Piloting – This result aims at designing and providing all the necessary information, methodology, and management plan for establishing and piloting CIPs as forward-looking learning centres that will provide non-formal learning opportunities to participants. The Country Info Points this project will use will be located in Hungary, Italy, Spain, and Greece (consortium implementation countries). This project result will allow us to test the effectiveness of the set-up of CIPs as learning centres, their operation, the variety of training opportunities and activities developed under R1, and lastly the interaction of young participants in CIPs with other stakeholders, such as local authorities, diplomatic missions, as well as international and cultural organisations;•R3: Policy handbook (report & best practices on CIPs, policy recommendations) – Following the piloting of CIPs under R2, a report on the operation of the four piloting CIPs will be produced, including lessons learned and best practices that could be replicated elsewhere. Feedback by all stakeholders involved and the YLAs themselves will be incorporated in the handbook and inform policy recommendations on increasing young people’s civic engagement with people across different countries and leading to a positive impact on their attitudes towards inclusion and democracy. The outcomes from R2 will be used from the partners to design and develop a policy handbook, which will be freely available online in English and all the consortium languages upon the completion of the project, and which will be presented in the final conference in Brussels.Key outcomes of the project will include the following:•Empower youth and increase employment opportunities through training, skills development, and civic and social participation.•Promote active citizenship and raise intercultural awareness among youth in Europe, by supporting them in the development of key skills for the labour market.•Educate the public and decision-makers about foreign nationals (esp. youth)’s culture, needs, and desiderata for better integration into local societies.•Engage with local and ex-pat communities.The expected results of the proposed project after the project’s life are:•At least 80 young men and women benefitting from the curriculum and training material for YLAs;•At least 80 youth trainers/workers benefitting from the guides provided;•At least 4 local authorities gaining experience and knowledge/expertise to run similar learning programmes for civic engagement among youth;•More than 8,000 people reached at the European level through the awareness and dissemination activities;•5 Multiplier events with at least 200 participants; and 1 Multiplier event as the final dissemination event with at least 15 international and 100 virtual participants.•The project’s website, which will contain all the Training materials, the Guide for the development of Country Info Points as non-formal learning centres, as well as the Policy handbook (including best practices on CIPs and policy recommendations).

"Young women in the rural areas of the Western Balkans are faced with different forms of discrimination. In rural areas, strong patriarchal values and gender inequality are often dominated. Opportunities for communication, exchange and solidarity between young women from these areas and peers from urban areas of the EU are often poor. Improving specific communication skills and opportunities to learn and share experiences, difficulties and good practices among women from different countries and areas can enhance self-confidence and self-representation of women in rural areas of the WB. The development of assertive and artistic communication skills enables active participation in society, international solidarity and the well-being of young women in the Western Balkans. Increasing the awareness and knowledge of young women about EU policies on social inclusion and women's rights is also an expected impact of the project.General goal:- Increase the capacity of young women in the rural areas of the Western Balkans to achieve progress in equal opportunities.Specific goals:- Creating international solidarity among young women from rural communities in the Western Balkans and European urban communities through connecting and networking.- Increase the capacity of youth workers to facilitate and support the social communication of young women.- Developed assertive and artistic communication skills of young women to express their opinions and create an active influence in their communities- Increase interest and knowledge among rural women in rural areas on European policies on gender equality and inclusion-The celebration of the International Day of Rural Women in the communities involved in the project is established.The project consisted of 4 main activities:1) Mobility of youth workers - Training ""Communication"", Grocka, Serbia.Six youth workers from each partner organization learned and discussed about assertive communication, European solidarity and gender policies. After mobility, they worked on scenarios for making 6 short movies on assertive communication.2) Youth Exchange - Workshop ""Solidarity"", Jelsa, Croatia.Five young women from each partner organization discussed in international groups on issues of equality and solidarity and decided on messages and visual solutions of 6 murals that were later painted in their local communities. The theme of the murals is Women's solidarity.3) Information and awareness campaign in 6 cities, in each partner local communityParticipants were guided by professional visual artists and youth workers in the realization of 6 murals on public walls. Murals were revealed on the UN International Day of Rural Women.

"Ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Africa result in migration movements to Europe on the one hand as well as European countries closing down their borders on the other hand. The European Union is facing one of its biggest challenges nowadays. Our project supports the believe that a greater coordination between EU Member States and the creation of shared European values will manage migrant and asylum flows more sustainably.Therefore, the project partners, being migrant organisations and training providers coming from six different European countries (Germany, Italy, Republic of North Macedonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Portugal), elaborated a European module for integration courses called ""Living in Europe"", based on shared European values. Additionally, a corresponding train-the-trainer workshop has been conceptualised and an e-learning platform with all elaborated materials has been prepared. After finalising the first draft of the EMIC module, it has been successfully tested at the Italian Lifelong learning Institute CPIA by the partner GEA in Italy and at VESBE e.V. in Germany during a course for young refugees. This helped to identify the best target Group/conditions for the module and to adapt the material according to the findings. The test also brought positive results in terms of knowledge transfer about the EU of the students and in terms of usability for teachers.Synchronically, dissemination activities have been undertaken through regular updates and postings by all partners on different media channels such as Facebook and Instagram and we have set up our own EMIC website (www.emicproject.eu) and a newsletter has been sent to private and public institutions working with/for migrants/refugees. The produces material is made to be used by a broad audience and will be provided on the EMIC website, to be used by organisations as well as by private persons directly to learn more about the EU and the life in the EU. This makes it possible to provide the contents to the public in the long run"
