    In 2017 more than 22,000 projects have been carried out within the framework of the Erasmus + program throughout Europe and beyond, with more than 84,000 organizations involved and almost 800,000 direct participants in courses, practices, exchanges, seminars and volunteers, among others (Source Commission European). These are very satisfactory numbers, continually increasing and which contribute to strengthening one (if not the best) of the most effective and best-rated European programs in numbers and results.Throughout our history as participants before and coordinators after, we have been able to observe and receive evaluations on aspects to improve that perhaps should be framed in a standard document so that all those organizations that start in the Erasmus + world can have a valuable tool for improve project management. For example:What is the ecological footprint of an exchange, or a training course? How many resources are we consuming and how many end up in the garbage or overused? How can we provide a sustainable project? How can we promote a healthy and active lifestyle? But also: How can we really include participants at risk of social exclusion? For example, those with disabilities?Trainers active in European projects under the Erasmus + program often have a background that has little to do with working with adults. In almost no European country, there is usually no specific university degree for this professional profile. Most of the trainers are made with experience, coming from more diverse profiles (social, cultural, political ...). It is necessary that the most experienced Erasmus + organizations, along with others with more specific competences in certain sectors, offer their Know how, adding analysis and exchanging good practices, to offer those who want to approach the world of adult education and those who they already do it, innovative and quality tools and methodologies that allow them to improve in their daily work with adults. Europe to ME will allow organizations to be directly involved in the activities, who will be interviewed and will be able to contribute their personal vision on how to organize training activities that respect the environment and are sustainable; the trainers, who will participate in the research, study, analysis and content creation activities for the manual, at the same time that they will be involved in training activities with disadvantaged groups; adults, especially those at risk of social exclusion, who will be able to make their voices heard, express their feelings, comment on European policies and how organizations should act so that projects are more inclusive and more adults can participate in them Collectives.The project is therefore aimed at trainers, leaders and coaches, participating adults and organizations active in training and who develop and / or participate in training projects such as exchanges and training courses. Your voluntary participation during the project will allow us to collect the necessary information to achieve the expected results, culminating the project with a pilot training activity to test the contents developed in a real training course, thus providing eventual corrections and improving skills and competitions of the participants.The project's priority objectives are:-improving the competences and skills of trainers and organizations active in Erasmus + on specific and relevant issues such as the environment and inclusion;-develop and strengthen European networks;-increasing the capacity of organizations active in Erasmus + projects to operate transnationally;-promoting learning based on environmental protection and the inclusion of people at risk of social exclusion through mobility projects within the framework of the Erasmus + Program.We consider that the project can generate the following impact:-Ability to plan and carry out learning autonomously-Develop an idea to put it into practice-Recognize the value of different cultures-Planning tasks and activities-Express yourself creativelyThe outreach activities have been designed in order to quickly reach European organizations active in Erasmus + but also trainers, leaders and coaches and adult participants in order to reach different target groups, using the appropriate tools for each one.Europe to Me represents the first in a long series of collaborative activities at European level to improve the quality standards of projects financed through Erasmus +

    OneRadio EU was born to celebrate 100 years of the first radio broadcast in the sense of musical radio history and we want to do it through the creation of a network of European strategic cooperation between organizations active in the promotion of youth participation in local activities , National and international. The main mission of the project is to encourage the participation and commitment of young people to the activities offered by local organizations as a way of developing skills and abilities that they can not develop in the field of formal education.The project will allow the creation of 5 European web radios that will be able to retransmit their programs and publish podcast, post and updates in a dedicated web portal www.oneradioeu.org as well as through the usual communication channels of the partners. At the same time, the project aims that young people, guided by the members of the partnership, can create training modules that address current issues for them, such as addiction, cyberbullying, fake news, entrepreneurship, responsible economic management, etc. .They will be the direct and active participants of the project, being able to design the activities from the beginning and learning little by little to manage a true sustainable social enterprise thanks to the learning that we offer them.The web radio represents an easy tool to know and use so that all young people, without any discrimination, can participate, and at the same time a way to improve the knowledge linked to the world of ICT and business management. In the medium and long term, the partners hope to expand the European network to new realities thanks to the collective effort we will make during the dissemination activities, with the aim of guaranteeing sustainability and increasing the number of similar initiatives in Europe.Hence, it is essential to create a project of these characteristics through a European strategic partnership, having chosen partners with extensive experience in the management and implementation of youth activities locally and internationally. The partners come from Iceland, Italy, Holland, Germany and Spain, represent a geographical diversity sought to achieve greater cultural exchange and positive impact among young people, while allowing more experienced entities and others with limited experience, being able thus facilitating the exchange of good practices and the acquisition of operational and managerial skills and abilities. The partners also work different sectors of youth: all focus on disadvantaged groups, especially young people with economic, social, cultural and geographical difficulties.Based on the analysis of the needs and competencies of each partner, we have recognized the following objectives for the partnership:-Value the role of entities that work to promote youth aggregation;-Building transnational bridges that allow for educational exchange;-To encourage the development of skills linked to social entrepreneurship among young people, as well as the acquisition of skills that facilitate their insertion in the European labor market.The partnership has developed a project that foresees the achievement of the following objectives:-Creation of web formats innovative radios, replicable nationally and internationally so that they can involve more and more young people and be a tool considered high quality by educators and trainers;-Dissemination of the learning opportunities offered by the EU-funded programs, thanks to which the project has the possibility of existing.-Promotion of training content related to youth self-employment, with particular attention to innovation and social entrepreneurship.The division of the tasks between the partners will be equal, although the coordination of the activities will be in charge of Ingalicia. The partners agree to designate different human resources for administrative and financial, technical, communication, evaluation, monitoring and dissemination activities. The partners also agree to organize a rotating coordination system for which every 6 months a partner will assume the coordination of communication, evaluation, monitoring and dissemination activities.The capacity and competences of each partner in the development of activities linked to the promotion of European opportunities and the promotion of self-employment will guarantee the attainment of quality results.The acquisition of specific skills and abilities in the world of communication, auditing and the creation of social enterprises will allow young participants to have more employment opportunities, both locally and internationally, as their profiles are visible on the web platform European that we will create.

    << Background >>The last year was a year that will define us forever. We have seen the whole world standing up for racial justice with Black Lives Matter, with the LGBT+ community with Black Trans Lives Matter and Virtual day of Silence. The COVID crisis exacerbated the gender inequality and issues disabled people are confronting with in our society. All these marginalised societies have in common the exclusion from mainstream social, economic, educational and/or cultural life and the fact that they are often subject to stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination. EUqualizer is an Erasmus KA2 project in which we will tackle the problem of stereotypes. The importance of stereotypes is often overlooked and not taken into consideration. That is why, we have decided to create a project that targets educational institutions and organisations, with a sole purpose to bring the conversation about stereotypes to different learning environments. In our project we will focus on 4 groups that need our attention: LGBT+ community, gender inequality, disability and racism. RACIAL CONTEXT: According to the research conducted in 2020 by Agency for Fundamental Rights there is a high level of racist discrimination within the EU, especially in the labor market, when renting/buying an apartment and when accessing to goods and services (public administration, transport, shops etc.) (Source: FRA webpage). DISABILITY CONTEXT: According to COFACE 1 in 6 people in the EU have a disability and experience many barriers to access the physical environment and to participate in society as equals. According to European Economic and Social Committee prejudice and victimisations are one of the most important factors in persistent exclusion from society and labor markets (Source: European Economic and Social Committee webpage). GENDER INEQUALITY CONTEXT: The gender issue in Europe varies between countries but at the bottom line women are less present in the labor market than men. The gender employment gap stood at 11.7% in 2019, with 67.3 % of women across the EU being employed compared to 79% of men (EU27 data). The gender pay gap in the EU stands at 14.1% and has only changed minimally over the last decade. It means that women earn 14.1% on average less per hour than men. The reasons for the gender pay gap go beyond the simple issue of discrimination. They are a consequence of various inequalities women face in access to work, progression and rewards (Source: European commission webpage). LGBT+ CONTEXT: According to the Annual Review of Human Rights Situation of LGBT+ People in Europe and Central Asia, conducted by Rainbow Europe in 2021 there is a stark rise in abuse and hate speech against LGBT+ people (Source: ILGA-Europe webpage). The objectives of the project are based on the context and data which shows that people that are marginalised and stereotyped experience unequal opportunities, injustices, hate speech and are overall put aside in the policy making level as well as when integrating in the society. The first objective is to research and collect data in all the European countries regarding the 4 fields we are working on, which will serve as a reference point to us as well as in the future to other organisations and institutions. Our second objective is the creation of the awareness campaign. This will include a creation of a web page which will be created in cooperation with the people belonging to those marginalised groups, a social media campaign where we plan to have an impact on an international level, with local activities in our local communities and with the international recognition of the International day Against Stereotypes. The third objective is the creation of a toolkit with the aim of bringing the conversation about stereotypes to formal and non formal educational environments.<< Objectives >>The objectives of the project are based on the context and data which shows that people that are marginalised and stereotyped experience unequal opportunities, injustices, hate speech and are overall put aside in the policy making level as well as when integrating in the society. The first objective is to research and collect data in all the European countries regarding the 4 fields we are working on which will serve as a reference point to us as well as in the future to other organisations and institutions. Our second objective is the creation of the awareness campaign.

The third objective is the creation of a toolkit with the aim of bringing the conversation about stereotypes to formal and non formal educational environments. With the creation of the activities we want to help the educators to tackle this topic in a methodological way.<< Implementation >>1. Creation of the webpage and the social media accountsWe will use the web page during the whole project to inform people about the activities, to upload the content in the form of photos, videos and articles with an emphasis on the storytelling and all the updates regarding the project. The page is an important part of the awareness campaign and also a place where people will be able to download the toolkit and the research free of charge. Ingalicia will be in charge of the creation of the webpage while all the other partners will provide the content. We will use it for the creation of the web page the platform Carrd. For the infographics used on the page and on our social media accounts we will use Canva and Photoshop. Learning for integration will be in charge of the creation of the logo and branding, again, using tools like Canva and Photoshop. 2. Creation of the researchIn the creation of this result each partner will research 5 countries (Ingalicia as the lead organisation 7) of the EU on the fields we will agree on in the kick off meeting. 3. Creation of the campaignThe awareness campaign will contribute to a higher awareness among the people and to encourage critical thinking, empathy. Each partner will be involved in this part of the project with the production of the content material, promotion and dissemination of the webpage and social media accounts and the creation of different awareness activities in their local communities. Partner responsible for editing video will use a professional video editor.4. Creation of the toolkit During the creation of the toolkit each partner will be in charge of one of the modules. In total will our toolkit include 5 moduls (introduction, gender equality, disability, LGBT+ community and racism). Each partner will be involved in the creation of one module. 5. Multiplier eventsWe will organise in total 5 multiplier events, organised and managed by each partner. 4 of them will be organised on a national level (Malta, Italy, Turkey and Finland), following the same agenda (presentation of the project, results and a debate/reflection). The 5th event will be organised in Coruña, on a bigger scale and in a form of conference. It will be a national event, with other partners joining the conversation through an online conference call. Each event will serve as an opportunity to disseminate the activities carried out.<< Results >>Main outcomes of the project are research, creation of a toolkit and awareness campaign, whose main focus is to raise awareness. Research will be conducted on four different fields, which are being stereotyped and suffer consequences in their day to day life. The research will be conducted in all the countries of European Union and will serve as a reference point for us in the continuation of the project but also, when spread through different platforms, as a reference in the future creation of projects and research of the topic. Participating partners will start with conducting research. The research will start at month 3 of the duration of the project and will last 4 months. After conducting a research, there will be another 2 months to evaluate findings and create a report. The report will provide important data for creation of the toolkit and the campaign. With the campaign we expect to raise awareness in the international community and to connect people with similar experience. The campaign will start in month 9 after the end of research and after the second transnational meeting. Participating organisations have already agreed on a strategy plan, communication plan, a format of the campaign and main campaign’s slogan. It will include posts on social media (Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Facebook,) as well as visual tangible advertisements on a local level for example “Windows of Truth about Stereotypes'', described in detail below, posters and leaflets for those categories who don’t have access to the internet or social media platforms. All parts of the campaign will be translated into english and into national languages to make it more accessible for all. As we said above, one of the ideas for the campaign that we want to put into practise, is the creation of wooden/paper windows that will be placed in the cities where the associations are based. On the closed window it will be written a stereotypical sentence about one of the 4 categories we mentioned, and once the window is opened, the person will see a picture with an impactful sentence and a picture that demolishes the stereotype and the wrong prejudice people might have. The most innovative element of the awareness campaign is the creation of the International Day Against Stereotypes that doesn’t exist yet and that we are very willing to obtain. In order to achieve this, we will create a call on change.org and ask people to contribute with their signature. The creation of the toolkit will be an important tool for educators to implement the problem of stereotypes into their daily learning activities. We will create a MOOC, composed of 5 modules: the first one developed as an introduction of the topic, and the other 4 dedicated to the stereotyped category. Each module will have a theoretical part and an interactive and practical one based on the principle of non-formal education activities. Another important output is also the creation of the webpage, which will be translated into the official languages of the participating organisations. Moreover, it will be weekly updated with some pictures and videos regarding the evolution of the project in the partnership countries. After the end of the project we will add the free download of the toolkit, that will be accessible to anyone who wants to use it.

    Funder Contribution: 192,197 EUR

    << Background >>In a world of cities, where 68% of the global population will live in densely populated cities in 2050, around 29% of the total EU population today lives in rural areas (Source: United Nations).The European countryside faces existential challenges that range from the decline and aging of its population to the scarcity of job opportunities and basic services, passing through the risk of missing the technological train, with the consequent danger of socio-economic and political marginalization that this implies. stage. If we take a look at digitization, with a vital role in the growth and competitiveness of economies, we find that the digital divide is 14% on average in the EU, but reaches up to 23% in some Member States such as, for example, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece and Portugal.This also translates into a feeling of abandonment that can lead to unexpected scenarios, such as the proliferation of a feeling of euro skepticism that, for example in the United Kingdom, has led to the departure of the British from the EU.Despite the challenges ahead, there are opportunities to reinvent the rural world.Rural Plus is proposed as a tool to continue supporting this process, offering opportunities and tools, as well as greater synergies, to connect with rural populations, involving them in the construction of the Union.The objectives of the project are:-Improve knowledge and communication, through the training of rural mentors and the use of a language and tools adapted to the local context. The Union continues to have a problem communicating its policies and projects to the public and if the conference on the Future of Europe and the EU Youth Streategy seem to help, there is still a lack of someone to act as a bridge between the institutions and the local population.-Reduce the technological deficit and the participatory barrier, offering quality training opportunities that empower young people and adults, as well as creating spaces for citizen participation through communication channels such as radio, social networks, blogs and newsletters .-To promote the inclusion of young people and women in the rural world, groups that usually face barriers in access to education, the job market or access to services, but also with regard to citizen participation. Similarly, women living in the countryside continue to be underrepresented in the agencies in charge of planning rural development plans and the distribution of funds.-Contribute to creating more cooperative and functional urban-rural links that make it possible to improve the socio-economic system of the rural world, increase its population and thus enable the reactivation of essential services such as education, health and transportation.<< Objectives >>The project will allow the creation of activities and results that will have an immediate impact, as well as in the long term, among the local communities of the participating partners (all located in rural areas), among trainers, educators and mentors, as well as among people with low qualifications and those socially excluded.Among the activities that we will carry out, we highlight:-The creation of a local network of volunteers who will be able to support the partnership in its mission to improve communication and knowledge about European policies and their opportunities;-The creation of training and innovation spaces (Hubs) at each partner's headquarters, with the possibility of conducting incubators and periodic hackathons, stimulating the participation of people from all over the local and regional territory.-The creation of workshops and talks to encourage debate and reflection in order to increase the participation of citizens in democratic and political life-The creation of a manifesto that will be delivered to the regional political leaders of each partner and that will include ideas and proposals born thanks to the workshops and talks organized by the locals.-The creation of a web page to give visibility to the project, share resources, be a reference for the participants (we will include forums) and that can be of inspiration for other organizations, who may ask to join the project or be based on the results to create one new.The expected results are:-Creation of a communication and knowledge toolkit, based on infographics and digital promotional material to offer better communication of European policies-Creation of a mixed training for mentors that can offer them the necessary tools to support the participants in the Hubs as well as mediation and conflict resolution skills, among others.-Creation of an e-platform where we will include training and activities carried out during the celebration of the hubs in order to empower people who live in rural areas, providing them with resources and skills for their personal, civic and professional development.After analyzing the needs and preparing a strategic plan to achieve the planned objectives, we want to achieve the following results:-Involve at least 60 local people who will act as volunteers in the promotion activities of the main European policies in matters of education, employment, entrepreneurship, inclusion, equality, agriculture and fishing.-Getting at least 40 mentors to participate in the local training activities that we will carry out once the training has been created.-Involve at least 100 educators and trainers in the activities, either in the Hubs, or in the participatory talks and debates.-Involve at least 50 people in the hubs to develop your business idea-Strengthen collaborations and synergies with at least 75 between public entities, organizations and private companies, to publicize the project, promote education / business relations and offer internship programs for participants in training activities (Erasmus Rural)Our plan foresees an evaluation of the impact of its results up to 5 years after its completion, thanks to the fact that all partners operate in the same locations where the activities will take place.We want to increase the number of volunteers by 10%, hold 4 annual talks and debates in each country (50 participants per country), contribute to increasing the local population by 1% and achieve an increase in entrepreneurship (10%) as well as employment (15%). We expect there to be at least 200 new participants in the courses each year and that at least 30 citizen proposals can be presented to local politicians each year.<< Implementation >>The partnership has defined the three key actions to achieve the planned objectives: 1) Participation of the target groups, 2) Development of activities and results, 3) Effective dissemination of results.The promotional and impact activities that each partner will develop at the local and national level constitute a key piece in the mosaic that makes up the project. Each partner contributes ideas and examples of good practice that we consider excellent when evaluating the statistical data of scope and impact.The evaluation and monitoring activities will allow us to make an exhaustive analysis of the development of each activity at all times, being able to obtain information from the members of each partner, the participants in the different activities, the users who will access the web portal and view the content, trainers, mentors and educators as well as organizations that will collaborate in the promotion and dissemination of the results.The training structure of the Hub is designed to offer content in a dynamic way, with the active participation of students, group dynamics, teamwork and the possibility of raising the topics to be discussed in some classes. The accessible digital format (with a face-to-face part to guarantee inclusion), the quality of the content offered, together with the Europass recognition and the post-course support until the completion of a real entrepreneurship project, represent more than convincing reasons to motivate participants to be active throughout the development of activities.Volunteer networks will allow us to stimulate local communities to be more participatory in society. This commitment to wanting to help others, offering advice and information on the main European funds for rural areas, will allow us to generate greater interest in the activities as well as in the results. The creation of informal talks and debates will reinforce this awareness, offering a space where people, in small groups, can share feelings and propose ideas and suggestions that, under the supervision of a mentor, can be delivered to local political institutions. to generate a quality civic participation system, based on real citizen collaboration to improve community well-being.The experience of partnering with adults at risk of exclusion guarantees us sufficient professionalism and sensitivity to face, case by case, those eventual moments in which students do not have enough capacity to advance or need reinforcement to continue. Receiving an international certification, as well as requesting a place in the Hub, will further stimulate the target groups not to act passively, but to exercise a priority role and to be, in addition to being participants, ambassadors of the project in their circles of trust.The training course represents a key resource for teachers and mentors to improve their skills, since, to achieve a transformation of rural areas, we first need to train the professionals who provide training in these areas.The creation of a web platform dedicated to the project and an APP will guarantee an effective online dissemination with the tools most used today to obtain information, guaranteeing its use even after the end of the project, since all partners will be able to update the contents of the APP by modifying a simple sheet of Google Sheets.The multiplier events will be a space where not only to disseminate the results, but also to take advantage of the participants present to involve more people and organizations to participate in the project and propose future synergies, as well as bring the results to urban centers, stimulating a greater connection between both territories.<< Results >>3892 / 5000Resultados de traducción1.Creation of the knowledge and communication toolkit:The audiovisual toolkit will comprise a comprehensive set of 12 interactive infographic resources that address 3 core areas that partners believe are critical to raising awareness of European institutions and policies that closely interest them:1) Recognize the information: to be able to understand in a simpler and more direct way, with a language adapted to any type of learning, the main European policies on employment, education, agriculture, fishing and rural areas. If we consider that today 50% of people living in rural areas are completely unaware of information about European policies and funds, it is clear how much need these tools are.2) Raising awareness: raising awareness and mobilizing citizens to actively participate in the democratic decision-making process, contributing proposals and feeding the debate in the activities that we will carry out and in which we will invite local politicians as well as those responsible for European networks such as Europe Direct, Eurodesk and Eures.3) Act: Offer the means to be able to aspire to obtain these funds as well as participate in the activities of the Conference on the future of Europe as well as the EU Youth Strategy.We will create a total of 4 infographics for each area. We want to send a clear and concise message, where we encourage you to act and join forces to be able to avoid the decline of rural areas.The true innovation of this result lies in the fact that each of the 12 infographics will contain a QR code that will lead to a fully interactive version with a variety of different integrated learning resources such as videos, audios, questionnaires and exercises to put the information received into practice. through gamification. A real MOOC to be able to obtain specific training on the subject.2. Training program for mentors and trainersThe program, with both online and face-to-face formats and in pdf manual, is proposed as a training experience that will allow participants not only to acquire key competencies useful at work and for their daily life, but also some skills and capacities to increase their job opportunities in key rural economic activities, other than “traditional” agriculture.The training program will be divided into three sections:1.definition of the context, needs and objective of the mentor / trainer2. Development of key skills using the #NOCODE methodology that allows you to create web pages, optimize work, create APPs, develop communication systems, sell online and many more opportunities without having prior knowledge of computer science and / or programming.3. Development of mediation and guidance skills for the management of informal citizen participatory spaces, as well as the management of face-to-face meetings.3. Training course for adults to be carried out in the HubsWe want to offer participants a high-impact tool that offers them to develop key basic competencies (mathematical, digital and entrepreneurial skills, communication, learning to learn, etc.), prioritizing the identified needs.The training itinerary will be divided into three sections:1. Development of key skills and technical competencies2 Overview on entrepreneurship 4.0 and with a focus on the rural environment3.Advice on bureaucratic and administrative procedures, and market analysis.The training program will last 40 hours, divided into 10 classes of 4 hours each, and can be used both in person, in the Hubs, and online, to allow the participation of people living in more remote areas or who have mobility problems.

    As countries increasingly move toward more relaxed drug laws, the role of education will become the main focus of public services who wish to prevent drug abuse. According to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction’s (EMCDDA) 2019 Country Drug Reports; The UK has seen an increase in the use of all major illicit substances in the last decade. In Ireland the same study showed that drug use has become more common among the general population in recent years, with the highest use of cannabis, cocaine and MDMA all among 15 – 24 year olds. In Spain, cocaine was involved in almost half of the reported drug-related emergencies in 2016. Available data in Germany suggest there has been an increase in cocaine and amphetamine use among young adults particularly. Interestingly the prevalence of illicit drug use in Cyprus has been relatively stable in recent years, with cannabis being the most used substance. Possession of most common street drugs is treated as a misdemeanour in Cyprus and only criminalized when it is an “amount larger than small” which arguably makes the Cyprus one of the most liberal EU countries in terms of drug liberalization, apart from Portugal. In 2001, Portugal became the first European country to rescind all criminal penalties for personal drug possession and offered remedial treatment rather than prison sentences. EMCDDA data from recent years has shown that lifetime use of cannabis and other illicit substances among Portuguese students is lower than the European average and so to is the use of psychoactive substances. This carefully selected consortium of partners will offer a diverse collection of attitudes and empathys to drug abuse. Partner organisations and stakeholders will experience a unique opportunity to share and discuss best practices.For the youth of today technology is ubiquitous. Over time technology has fused itself with learning, both in education and personal development. Smart phones, tablets and laptops are just some of the devices that are frequently used by a large proportion of the population of Europe, particularly young people. In 2016, 91% of young people in the EU made daily use of the internet. (Euro Stat). Young people reportedly use basic internet skills 20% more than the average for the whole population. The encyclopaedia of mum and dad is no longer. Google is now the go-to source for information. There was a time when even the most relaxed parent would caution against peer pressure, now we celebrate professional influencers. Our attitudes have collectedly shifted and so with it has the role of parents, educators and youth workers. They are no longer the escorts of information. Instead, they are now tasked with providing the necessary skills to enable young people to apply critical thought, reason and structure to the information they gather from a vast multitude of sources. Infographics have been steadily gaining popularity, both in digital and print formats and in organizations and education. They are clear, effective and visually engaging. They present a variety of information while retaining the attention of the viewer. Today’s youth are inundated with information every day and opportunities for distraction are increasing. There are unfathomable amounts of data and sources online, much of it biased, inaccurate and often wrong. Young people need tools to easily digest information while also being offered the opportunity to conduct further, credible and safe research to areas of their interest.A toolkit of purpose designed Interactive Infographics will provide a holistic approach to drug awareness and prevention. The Toolkit will provide a complete suite of 12 interactive infographic resources comprised of 3 core areas selected by partners, namely:1. Problem definition: The role of drug type and patterns of use in drug related harms, Who it impacts and where it impacts to gain understanding of the social costs of drug problems, Early warning systems and key indicators.2. Appropriate response actions: Contextualizing factors and influences such as public attitudes and legal framework. Promoting harm reduction: how to help an individual and establishing the importance of individual and community wellbeing.3. Prevalent problems today: Information on new psychoactive and synthetic drugs, addressing the misuse of medicines and the dangers of the dark web.By the end of the project:- 12 interactive infographics addressing drugs awareness issues will be developed in 5 partner languages - 36 front-line youth workers will complete the pilot of the in-service training programme- 36 young people will complete the peer leadership programme- 300 young people will engage with the interactive infographics developed through the online portal provided
