<< Background >>The Intercult Connected Campus project offers an innovative training tools to support trainers and social workers in the digital transition. It also aims to enable them in turn to train refugees and migrants in digital uses. The project partners wish to continue the work of inclusion and diversity in adult education and migrant integration.To improve support for migrants and refugees and prepare vocational education and training for digital education for innovative and inclusive practices.It is indeed thanks to digital technology that information is transmitted, that solidarity is organized, that work has been reinvented and that social ties have been maintained. But an alarming finding shows us that the digital divide worsens existing inequalities and leaves behind people who are already disadvantaged.The digital divide still affects millions of people in Europe and migrants and refugees are often concerned because they are confronted with many online administrative services and the need to know the digital tools daily and professional aspects.While they can contribute to economic growth and can also support the recovery after COVID-19, they nonetheless face several challenges, including difficulties in accessing suitable vocational training. According to the Communication from the commission to the European parliament, the council, the European economic and social committee and the committee of region - Action plan for integration and inclusion for the period 2021-2027:The need to develop more and better skills is important for socio-economic development, including for migrants and refugees.Following on from the Intercult project, which enabled social actors and trainers to improve their intercultural skills, we are offering them the opportunity to strengthen their skills in the use of new technologies and digital tools for integration and inclusion.As part of the modernization of integration services, Intercult Connected Campus will support the existing vocational training systems. We propose to design and experiment with our partners, an open and accessible place to improve the chances of success for all.When we know that immigration can contribute significantly to jobs, growth and prosperity in Europe. The training of migrants is necessary to support the European economic model. Bringing Digital learning closer to support migrant entrepreneurs, ensure that more migrant women as well participate in the labor market, represent a useful choice for the community.This project will help overcome the obstacles these groups face in accessing market opportunities and help address digital transformation through the intercult connected campus platform that will be piloted with consortium partners.The current context prompts us to modernize and update our education and training systems. We must therefore reconsider the way we train our trainers and develop innovative digital tools to increase their skills.Digital literacy as a solution to improve the capacity of individuals to participate in a society that uses digital communication technologies in all its fields of activity, and as the glue of an increasingly intercultural connected society.<< Objectives >>The objective of this project is to offers an innovative training tools to support trainers and social workers in the digital transition. It also aims to enable them in turn to train refugees and migrants in digital uses.This project aims to develop the digital pedagogical skills of trainers and social workers, enabling them to deliver inclusive digital education.The training program will focus on:- key and transversal digital skills- digital skills for civic and social inclusion - digital skills for professional inclusion - digital skills for intercultural communicationThe diversity of target audiences requires the definition of the key and transversal skills necessary to support learners with their different needs. The purpose of the InterCult Connected Campus project is as follows:1- creation of a learning management system that uses new learning and training technologies:- infographics- mooc- continuing education at online or face-to-face2- production in a participatory context of activity catalogs- participatory management and hosting of training- dedicated co-working space- mixed training space in semi-distance and face-to-face support3- involve public and private partners already involved in the project around this program by proposing a common intervention framework and shared tools.4- The InterCult Connected Campus Project aims to offer training to reach audiences who for various reasons and who live in difficult conditions are deprived of it and thus reach audiences in priority areas of the City's policy and fragile audiences in general.5- digital technology is at the heart of Intercult Connected Campus in all its dimensions: a place of digital factory close to the territory.<< Implementation >>The project proposes to act against the digital illiteracy of the target group and to promote the use of digital tools in order to make this population more autonomous, by developing modules adapted to their needs, by offering the acquisition of digital skills from European digital skills benchmarks.The consortium will implement the following activities: PPR1: Training Program: Training program to improve digital skills for trainers and social workers.Module 1- Identifying the main digital skills competences to acquire to address illiteracy.Module 2. Mapping of obstacles of digital uses and main training needs of the learnersModule 3- How digital readiness helped to improve social and professional integrationModule 4- Digital intercultural mediationPPR2: Develop infographics resources to foster digital readiness for social and professional integration.The infographic resources are interactive and will require some digital skill as they will be available through the online platform. The trainers will support the beneficiaries to use the online material presented.PPR3: Development of the Intercult Connected Campus learning platform to foster inclusive digital learning environment for beneficiaries, that uses new learning and training technologies: infographics + Mooc.<< Results >>The project will also have a significant and positive impact on the participating organizations as it will create lasting value for the community by providing a digital space for all, a third place to meet and learn.Third places to develop “doing together” and re-establish links. These places are central in territories life. Activities in these places, much broader than coworking, contribute to economic development and the activation of local resources. In this context, other devices such as Digital Common are open to all. It can be mobilized by all those who wish to create a time of exchange and common work on their territory.It is possible to organize a Digital common plateform collaboratively developed and managed by a community.Within the framework of Erasmus +, the partners of the Intercult connected campus project can stimulate social inclusion actions.The InterCult Kit is a transversal methodology that uses digital technology to train in InterCulturality. The InterCult Connected Campus Project is the place of the digital fabric of the territory which will offer a framework for support towards socio-professional inclusion using the learning management system.Each partner will pilot the materials and training program with associated partners.It is also estimated that 120 people in total (20 in each country) will attend the piloting events.This project will help overcome the barriers these groups face in accessing market opportunities and help address the digital transformation of relevant structures through digital readiness, resilience, and capacity.

"<< Background >>The aim of this partnership is to tackle the issue of adult training and more particularly that of seniors.The project partners wish to continue the work of inclusion and diversity in adult education and improvement of the training of seniors.To help seniors overcome the obstacles encountered in accessing opportunities and fighting the potential source of discrimination based on age.There is a lot of evidence that 50+ seniors who keep on working stay socially active and healthy. Also, seniors have plenty of experience, know-how and can contribute to the success of their employers. Other research referring to the evaluation of the roles of entrepreneurship suggests that seniors' self-employment builds their self-esteem and motivates them to take on new tasks and perform well at these tasks.The EU's population is aging rapidly. As a result, the number of workers leaving the labor market over the next few years will be significantly higher than the number of new workers. In many industries, securing the supply of skilled labor will therefore be a major challenge for companies. Studies and surveys have shown that those 65 and over or ""retirees"" are ready to work or consult part time, which could clearly fill the ""gap"" in the supply of skilled labor.In summary, there are many advantages to training seniors while facilitating entrepreneurship. Successful local concrete experiences should be used to reflect on the appropriate implementation tools implemented in EU countries. In this type of project, because the implementation must be immediate, locally applicable and scalable throughout Europe, the consortium will provide innovative but concrete actions, and will rely on their development to fuel intellectual productions.In addition, when it is time for the affected population to return to work, the unemployment rate could be so high that it will be difficult for older people to return to their previous jobs, thus promoting the (re) employment of older people and independent work for seniors is very important.Finally, we are currently learning, in a period of economic / social / political crisis such as that created by the rapid spread of Covid-19, that our dependence on classic macroeconomic rules where employment is the variable of economic health must be reassessed. , the values ​​of autonomy and entrepreneurship must also be revalued and encouraged.The proposed model for promoting the entrepreneurship of senior citizens of the SENEXIA project will be tested in 6 EU Member States. This cooperation strengthens the respective capacities of the consortium partners and allows the production of high quality deliverables with a potential for transferability to other countries.The Erasmus + 2021 plan on adult education and training supports actions that address digital transformation, through the development of digital readiness, resilience and capacities. SENEXIA aims to strengthen and improve digital skills for senior entrepreneurship and the use of European digital skills frameworks to support educators, citizens and organizations.<< Objectives >>Addressing this age discrimination by developing educational and innovative solutions to promote “access to training” for senior employment and entrepreneurship.To achieve this goal, the SENEXIA project offers four production results:- Training program for senior entrepreneurs to support the transformation from traditional entrepreneurship to digital entrepreneurship.- Developing interactive infographic to improve senior entrepreneurs digital skills- Empowerment and narratives: Case study -Storytelling - successful & inspirational narratives of senior workers, self-employed and senior workers' employees supported by their employers to become entrepreneurs.- Development of a Mooc platform to strengthen the digital skills of senior.<< Implementation >>The SENEXIA consortium propose a solution to improve the “access to training for seniors’ entrepreneurship to address the age discrimination by developing educational and innovative solutions. Partners will gather representatives of the relevant stakeholders in their local working groups to ensure that the opinions and perspectives of the target groups inform the development process. The consortium will implement the following activities PPR1: SENEXIA will present:- the mapping of existing barriers in access to training and learning requirements to foster seniors entrepreneurship.- a training program for senior entrepreneurs to support the transformation from traditional entrepreneurship to digital entrepreneurship.PPR2: SENEXIA will create:- interactive infographics to support seniors entrepreneurs in digital readiness and support in personal skills development to handle failure, success, and innovation- will create the content guidelines for the interactive Mooc online platform, to build key competences to support seniors in their needs in entrepreneurship and digital skills.PPR3 SENEXIA will present:An Empowerment and narratives: Case study -Storytelling - successful & inspirational narratives of senior workers, self-employed and senior workers' employees supported by their employers to become entrepreneurs.PPR4: SENEXIA will develop a Mooc platform to strengthen the digital skills of senior entrepreneurs and a learning platform to improve the training of seniors.The consortium will organize pilot workshops in each partner country during month15 and a seminar will be organized in the consortium during month16 and the final partners conference will be held to present all materials produced during the project.- Dissemination, quality management, impact assessment and risk management exercises will be undertaken by all partners at appropriate times during the whole project.<< Results >>The SENEXIA project will develop materials and tangible resources available to trainers.- Training program for senior entrepreneurs to support the transformation from traditional entrepreneurship to digital entrepreneurship.- Developing interactive infographic to improve senior entrepreneurs digital skills- Case study - Storytelling - successful & inspirational narratives of senior workers, self-employed and senior workers' employees supported by their employers to become entrepreneurs.- Development of a Mooc platform to strengthen the digital skills of senior.All results will be produced in all partner languages. All the resources developed will be available online and made available to all interested parties.Each partner will pilot the materials and training program with associated partners.Local networks will be formed in each country and these networks will be used as the main training environments for seniors.It is also estimated that 120 men and women in total (20 in each country) will attend the piloting events.By the end of the project, beneficiaries will have acquired the digital skills necessary to improve their entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial activity and all parties will have tools to fully access the digital world."

The project VALOR “Valorisation of ancient farming techniques in resilient and sustainable agriculture” is built on the results of the project partners’ previous projects, to the scope of promoting the recovery, conservation and enhancement of the ancient local cultivation conditions. Basing on this awareness, the Alliance promotes the implementation of a compatible education model resulting in innovative curricula, to support quality and ancient tradition safeguarding production as core activity leading to resilience and sustainability. The VALOR curricula are: (1) top-quality expert in resilient agricultural system (as education curriculum for trainers); (2) sustainability aware farmer (supporting farmers/new farmers increasing their abilities to preserve, valorise and promote local traditional identities and economies).
