Innovation and promotion of quality offer the opportunity to reach those parents who are not easily reached, in order to keep up with the ever changing needs and challenges of parents. Distance learning during the Coronavirus-crisis made parents more responsible than ever before. Socio-economically disadvantaged families from educationally disadvantaged classes are experiencing great difficulties, which means that they are often excluded from society and their children often drop out of school without any qualifications. These families are often difficult to reach.The family is the core of European society, the starting point for building democracy, participation and social change, and therefore social support and assistance for special needs is very important. When working with young people, especially young families, families who are educationally and socio-economically disadvantaged, we know that they often need help on the same issues.The main priority of our project is to offer effective and innovative ways / possibilities / services based on the knowledge gained in this partnership. Best practices collected and exchanged during implementation are based on high value and quality principles.We want to examine the question of what it is like in the European Community, whether Greek and Austrian children, young people, parents and their families have the same problems. And what are the solutions to these problems with our partners. What suggestions can we get from other organisations working with parents and children, how can they improve our work?In order to find out, we would like to enter into a partnership with an Austrian coordinator, an Italian, Lithuanian, Portuguese, German and Greek partner and professionalise it.Experience has shown that many parents and their families are relieved when they realize that they are not alone with their problems. For this reason, we will disseminate the results of the project through an online article, guidelines and a set of methods that describe the treatment of family problems in a European comparison and show different approaches to solve them. This completes the main goal of achieving additional professionalisation of our organisations. The direct target group are therefore the employees of the organisations, who through their work will further disseminate the results to other organisations and toindirect target group of young parents and their families. Not only the individual organisations benefit from the European exchange, but also the families can get the feeling that other people in Europe are similar to themselves. In this way they get a feeling for the European Community and this leads to mutual understanding and sympathy across national borders. The partnership plans to use the similarities and solutions that have been found in a follow-up project.

"The family is the smallest system in European society, the starting point for democracy-building and social change, and therefore deserves special support. From our counselling and educational work we know that families repeatedly seek help with similar issues, that almost everyone is ""stuck"" in the same areas. We have asked ourselves whether this is the case everywhere in the European Community, whether, for example, Greek and Austrian parents have the same problems. And what the solutions to these problems look like with our partners. Which ways of good communication, of handling money, of (media) education, of balancing family and career have parents found in other European countries? What suggestions can we get from other organisations working with parents and children, how can they improve our work? In order to find out, we would like to exchange experiences in a consortium of DE, AT, BG, ES and GR and thus further professionalize our work. Experience has shown that many parents are already relieved when they realise that they are not alone with their problems. Therefore, we will disseminate the results of the project via an online article describing how family issues are dealt with in a European comparison and pointing out various solutions. This complements the main objective, an additional professionalisation of our organisations. The direct target group are thus the employees of the organisations, who through their work will carry the results further into other organisations and into the indirect target group of parents and families. Thus not only the individual organisations benefit from the European exchange, also the families can get a sense that other people in Europe feel the same way as themselves, the feeling for the European community. In previous projects in which the individual organisations have worked, everyone had the impression that ""Europe works best on a small scale"" - direct human contact, and where this is not possible, the knowledge that families are similar across Europe, leads to mutual understanding and sympathy across national borders, which today threaten to re-strengthen. In a follow-up project, the consortium is planning to further exploit the similarities and solutions that have been found."

<< Objectives >>In this project, we would like to exchange intensively on country-specific traditions that convey an image of strong women and can thus be supportive for modern women in their personal development. We want to use these traditions (e.g. flamenco and Baltic singing traditions) with the help of methods from body-oriented systemic counselling to help women in our courses and counselling to realise their full potential.<< Implementation >>Each partner will conduct a desktop research and present it at the 1st partner meeting for an international comparison. In Spain we will visit a flamenco performance, in Lithuania a singing festival, and exchange ideas. In order to make the impressions useful for adult education, the German partner will also present body-oriented systemic methods. E-cards will be designed as inspiration and thought support, which will be distributed as a result.<< Results >>The exchange, further sensitisation and professionalisation of the partner organisations are the most important objectives of the exchange. In addition, e-cards on the topic are being designed to capture and disseminate the results of the content. We also want to use these in our courses and consultations to help women to develop their full potential. In this way, we want to strengthen and support as many women as possible.

<< Objectives >>KNOW FAKE will contribute to digital literacy in families and adult education. With the help of an analog card game and the accompanying handbook, KNOW FAKE succeeds in implementing the EU action plan against disinformation, educating and building media literacy. The pandemic and currently the Ukraine war have produced a lot of disinformation. That is why critical thinking is needed. KNOW FAKE makes an important contribution in everyday family life.<< Implementation >>- Development and production of an analog card game KNOW FAKE with digital elements in 6 European languages.- Development and production of a manual KNOW FAKE with digital elements in 6 European languages - with didactic-methodical accompanying material for families and educators. - multiplier events in each partner country- Presentation of the results of KNOW FAKE at Didakta 03.2024 in Cologne.- KNOW FAKE website with all results in 6 European languages.<< Results >>- An analog card game on the topic of disinformation with digital elements for media literacy education.- It is produced in 6 European languages and can be expanded at any time.- Manual for the game with pedagogical-didactic impulses for parents and teachers. Content: background information on recognizing fake news and disinformation, knowledge about analyzing social media: working methods, professional codes, quality criteria, forms of presentation, research strategies, etc.- MV's

"The family is the smallest system in European society, the starting point for democracy building and social change, and therefore deserves special support. We know from our previous project that families across Europe are in conflict about similar issues, that almost everyone is ""stuck"" in the same places. There we have exchanged ideas in a consortium of DE, AT, BG, ES and GR, collected the results and prepared them for publication. In ""Europarents 2020"" we will be building on these results: we will first carry out a survey in order to be able to orientate our further steps exactly to the needs of parents. We will then work together to develop a game that facilitates and stimulates communication on difficult issues in families. Experience shows that many parents are already relieved when they realize that they are not alone with their problems. With the game to be developed, they can not only get a feeling for the fact that some topics affect families throughout Europe, but also come into direct contact with approaches from other countries and can reflect on them in a playful way. Furthermore, the needs analysis, the further exchange and the joint development of the game will lead to an additional professionalisation of our organisations. One target group are the employees of the organisations who, through their work and finally through the distribution of the game in the vicinity of the organisation, will carry the results into the target group of parents and families. In this way, not only the individual organisations benefit from the European exchange, but also the families can get a feeling that other people in Europe are similar to themselves, a feeling for the European community, and at the same time find new solutions for family conflicts. In previous projects in which the individual organisations have worked together, everyone had the impression that ""Europe works best on a small scale"" - direct human contact, and, where this is not possible, the knowledge that families are similar throughout Europe, leads to mutual understanding and sympathy across national borders, which nowadays are threatening to become stronger again."
