"<< Background >>""Sustainable food for green minds"" Erasmus+ cooperation partnership project aims are relevant to Erasmus+ Programme horizontal and adult education priorities. Project partners will exchange good practices and experiences, improving the competences of educators and other adult education staff what is priority of adult education. Environment and climate action are key priorities for the EU now and in the future. The European Green Deal Communication is the European new growth strategy and recognises the key role of schools, training institutions and universities to engage with pupils, parents, and the wider community on the changes needed for a successful transition to become climate neutral by 2050. https://ec.europa.eu/info/strategy/priorities-2019-2024/european-green-deal_en Partners discussed Programme priorities and decided that promotion of sustainable food, healty lifestyle and culture of food are very important now. New competences in these areas are always needed and particularly when people are in lock down and have to care about health and eat healthy food. Partners will incorporate green practices in the project through an environmental-friendly approach when designing the activities, which will encourage to discuss and learn about environmental issues, to reflect about local actions and to come up with alternative greener ways of implementing activities. The main method will be learning-by-doing, so it will allow to develop new competences and experience learning process not only from presentations, lectures and books but also from practical cooking together. Communication during the cooking process will help partners to collaborate better and gain more support from each other. Cooking and eating is a way to bring people together through one of the things we all enjoy most: sharing a good meal. Project partners seeks to provide advice on sourcing healthy, nutritious, local food, marrying this together with the cuisine of the different national groups, using the results as a way to foster integration and understanding, responsible and sustainable production and consumption. This project will reinforce links between different stakeholders, promote innovative practices by supporting personalized learning approaches, collaborative learning innovative methods. Participants will increase competencies, reinforce creativity and cooperation with partners<< Objectives >>This Erasmus+ project involves institutions and organisations from Poland, Austria, Estonia, France, Italy and the Netherlands with different experiences in green sector and adult education. Partners will share good practices, collect them and create innovative E-Book with original receipts. The ingredients for the dishes will be mainly from the vegetable gardens that will be created by educators and learners. Special activities will be organised for the capacity building of organisations and exchange of good practices with the aim to support educators to gain new competences.The project objectives are:* promote cooperation, quality, inclusion and equity, excellence, creativity and innovation at the level of organisations in the field of education and training;* exchange good practices between different institutions working in adult education and create E-Book for teaching and learning;* improve the competences and professional level of adult educators;* promote non-formal and informal learning and involve adult learners in different ages to the project activities.Partners plan to increase capacity to operate at transnational level, share ideas of different food cultures, practices and methods based on sustainable food production and consumption. Partners are interested to reinforce intercultural dialogue and because of that will involve to the project participants with different cultural and social backgrounds: ethnic and national minorities, migrants and refugees, representatives of different religions, etc. with the aim to share European diversity and common European values.The main target group in this project consist of staff members and educators (more than 20 participants). Adult learners will also participate in local and dissemination activities (more than 300), including elderly people and participants with fewer opportunities. Associated partners and other stakeholders will be involved in dissemination activities during face-to-face and virtual events, also by use of media and social media (more than 1000).Partners will discuss the different backgrounds and difficulties affecting disadvantaged groups in Europe and particular in project partners' countries and regions, whether this is with newly arrived refugees, long term unemployed or migrants from other countries and will involve these people to the project activities.<< Implementation >>Project activities will include: • four transnational meetings for exchange of good practices; • local meetings and activities;• two international training courses for staff members; • collecting learning materials for E-book; • monitoring and evaluation process; • dissemination of project information and results. Work with cooking and healthy ingredients from own vegetable gardens and methods of cooking on modern kitchens will support developing of educators' new competences. Than they will teach adult learners in different ages to learn how to cook healthy food. Participants of these workshops will calculate prices and weight of ingredients and improve mathematical skills. They will film cooking process on video and improve digital skills. Workshops and trainings will support intercultural and intergenerational education because partners will involve to the project people with different cultural and social backgrounds and in different age, focus will be on the transfer of forgotten traditions from grandparents to children and grandchildren. Partners will have in focus inclusion of seniors in the project activities from one side and learn how to attract young people to agriculture from other side.Such approach will enrich participants of this project and make it attractive for educators, learners and general public. Partners will upload video and photos about training, about vegetable gardens and cooking process on Facebook and YouTube that highlight the potency of combining verbal and visual methods in adult education. These materials will be not only about sustainable food but also about people, countries and their cultures, how they select seeds, plant them and take care about sustainable growing and harvesting process. Moreover, there will be attractive dissemination activities for all involved in the project, associated partners and also other stakeholders and wider audience. Project partners will raise awareness about Europe 2020 strategy, the European Green Deal Communication, Sustainable Development Goals and Erasmus+ Programme on the international level. The desired impact of the project will go beyond its lifetime and beyond this project partners organisations towards wider general audience<< Results >>The main result of this project will be development and improvement of educators' competences and creation of new learning opportunities for adult learners. Creating an environment of inclusive learning and using friendly and relaxing atmosphere will help in the acquisition of competences of educators, adult learners and particularly elderly groups of people. Educators will have training in the field of adult education and as a result, they will be able to use the learning approach in all potentials to strengthen the self-protective competencies. There will be intangible results:- exchange ofexperience among staff at European level; - enhanced of intercultural competences for the staff and learners; - acquisition of new ICT skills when working with video and photos; - acquisition of new communication, foreign languages, mathematical and other skills when work on cooking; - long life learning network of partners and other stakeholders involved to the project at local, national and European level; - increased EU project management competencies. Tangible results: - E-book with learning materials about sustainable food; - video and photos about the training; - promotional materials (project logo, leaflet, poster, press realise, information for social media, Facebook page, etc). During the project participants will come up with entirely new knowledge and skills which they will have the chance to get through a feedback thus being trained and sufficiently prepared for own workshops. This project will open up certain topics that are closely related to participants’ professional and personal environments. In this way, the participants will get much new experience but that they will also understand some concepts of adult education and eco learning and specific of offline and online education. On the side, participants will acquire useful online materials related adult education, in parallel through specific activities they will broaden both their contacts and networks. At a personal level, the participants will develop themselves as individuals and creative educators. In this way the partners' institutions and organisations and local communities will have a clear benefit, but also the educators themselves will benefit as well, since they will become more creative and active in teaching/ learning. Through project Facebook page all the members of the participating organisations will have the opportunity to exchange material, practices, experiences that falls within their area of interest, such as e-articles, e-videos, e-forums, e-audios and recommendations. Through a variety of specially designed activities, starting from theoretical learning about sustainable food till practical work in small gardens and cooking and collecting good practices in the project E-Book, this cooperation partnership project will have long-term impact on all involved. Project materials and particularly E-Book will be available in digital form for use to wider audience. The open access to this materials will enable partners to inform other educators on local, national and European level about the project materials that can be used as good practices not only in project partners' organisations but also in other adult education providers and other educational organisations. This will make sustainability of E-Book after the EU funding."

"In many EU countries, including the partners' countries (Netherlands, Sweden and Italy) migrant women face double disadvantage in the labor market: as migrants and as women. Women perceived as Muslim or African face particular difficulties due to discrimination in access to the labor market. Women with a low educational level and women with a non-Western migration background work less often and are less often economically independent than both migrant men and local women. Adult educators working with migrants do not have enough competencies to support and help migrant women due to the limited attention and low understanding of the special challenges and needs of migrant women. Encouragement of migrant women entrepreneurship skills is one of the easiest way to create job for themselves, but the courses are mostly focused on language skills and education. Migrant women need support in their integration in the labor market.The project is focused on developing migrant women competencies and their successful integration into socio-economic life. Objectives of the project are:- To improve employability, social integration and civic engagement of migrant women through development of entrepreneurship competencies;- To encourage social integration of migrant women through social participation and mentoring;Direct target groups: - migrant women (especially the most vulnerable groups: non-Western migrant women and migrant women with a low educational level), - adult educators working with migrant womenIndirect target groups: - family members of migrant women, - local and migrant communities in the partners' countries, - journalists, policy makers, and citizens of the EUThe project focused on building the following competencies:- Getting entrepreneurial, leadership and managerial skills- Getting mentoring skills (setting realistic life goals, gaining positive thinking skills, gaining social networking skills).Methodology: non-formal learning methods, mentoring, community-based participatory research, open innovation, creative sessions, focus groupsActivities will include:- Adult educators trainings ""Empower, engage immigrant women integration in socio-economical life""; - Public discussions on how to empower migrant women to integrate in socio-economic life;- Seminars and workshops to encourage migrant women to establish their own business and gain skills necessary to enter local labor market; - Social capital and collaborative network of migrant women to support locals and migrants in mutually helpful activitiesIntellectual outputs will include: - Migrant women mentoring program aimed to share experiences of successful female migrants with newcomers and to encourage their integration and social participation by providing aspirational role models, practical advice and psychological support- MOOC ""Migrant women integration in labor market"" aimed to improve professional skills for migrant women, increase their participation in the activities leading to employment and building key competences necessary for successful economic integration in the host society. - Handbook for social workers and adult educators working with migrant women aimed to tailor their programs to the educational and professional goals of migrant women.All the outputs are interconnected and aimed at articulating, transferring and disseminating the knowledge gained during the project. Direct impact: higher employment and more active social participation of migrant women; increased capacity of migrant women to interact and feel more confident in their social environment and to participate in social, political and economic life at local level. Direct impact will be for 200 migrant women and adult educators, career advisors, volunteers working with migrant women (100 participants). Indirect impact will be for 2000 migrant women, migrant families and adult educators.- positive impact of socially active and economically independent mothers on migrant women children, increased opportunity for education and social participation; - for community – better socialization and integration of migrant women; - for municipality/region/country - social and economic benefits; - for EU – increased common values, better protection of women's rights, economic benefits of working women and better education of children.Long-term effects: - increased migrant women employability and entrepreneurial skills;- established more possibilities and access to possibilities for migrant women;- created migrant women mentoring program;- established migrant women support network;- bigger social participation of migrant women; - easier access to education and work for migrant women; - raised awareness of women's rights; - raised awareness among public officials of migrant women needs; - transfer of knowledge and practices between project partner."

"CONTEXTAccording to European Commission data, women account for 29% of the total in the entrepreneur’s category, with a slight increase of 3% from 2008 to today(1).These data show an underutilization of the female workforce, corroborated by statistics on theoverall employment of women in Europe, equal to 67.4% in 2018 (compared to an average of 79% for the male counterpart(2).The European Union is founded on cardinal values, including equality AND promotes equality between men and women at all levels is one of them (3). Promoting self-entrepreneurship and female entrepreneurship, to increase employment levels and the economic autonomy of women, is therefore a desirable action.THE PROJECTThe ""European Handmakers Network"" project is part of this theme, proposing the creation of a digital platform that allows European women handmakers to have a place where they can be followed by online mentoring in English, in order to increase their skills and turn their hobby into a micro enterprise. This mentoring activity may concern not only women already operating in the manual work sector, but also those who want to transform their home-based craftsmanship into a working activity. Infact, many women in various regions of Europe already deal with the production of artefacts, which contribute informally to the livelihood of the family. In addition, women who are already successfully pursuing their entrepreneurial activity would begiven the opportunity to exercise a role as trainers and to be a good example for other women, as well as to promote their activity at European level.The digital platform would allow:1. To deepen the financial training of the handmakers;2. Provide methodological tools on starting a self-employed job;3. Develop the communication and training skills of the mentors registered on the platform;4. Spread the exchange of good practices, through peer-to-peer mentor-handmaker training;5. Create a sustainable training network at European level between mentors and users.The project therefore envisages cooperation between different partners at European level, with a specification of the roles and tasks to be performed. The organizations involved will thus be able to make available their skills in communication, training, ICT and financial education to be able to carry on the project, under the coordination of Creativi108 which already has projects focused on similar issues, such as the project "" Florà: Handmade across Europe ""(2017-1-IT02-KA204-036766).TARGET GROUP:- Hobbyist women- Unemployed women-Women who intend to start their own micro business-Successful businesses run by women- Training bodies in the economic and financial fieldBENEFICIARIES:-Women handmakers-Women who intend to start their own micro business-Women entrepreneurs- Businesses run by women- Women's organizations- Households where women informally manufacture artifacts-EU organizations in the field of female employment-Training bodies that deal with self-entrepreneurshipEXPECTED IMPACT:On women handmakers:-Development of skills useful for establishing a micro enterprise-Acquisition of methodological tools to start your own business-Ability to join an online community to increase your success-Ability to be able to transform your informal home business into a micro-enterprise that generatesincome-Ability to be able to learn about good practices-Be part of a European solidarity networkOn women entrepreneurs:-Development of communication skills in mentoring (through mentoring guide)-Exchange good practices-International advertising of their businesses through training activities-Be part of a European solidarity networkThe project consortium aims to respond proactively to what is stated in article 23 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union regarding equality between men and women in all areas (4).It will bring together 6 partners from EU countries, among which there will be organizations that deal with communication and with skills on digital platforms and others that will be able to make their contribution since they are already involved in training projects for handmakers.(1) Horizon2020News, reporting European Commission data, http://www.horizon2020news.it/donne-imprenditrici-ineuropa-ce-pubblica-studio-sui-dati-statistici, last consultation, 10/02/20(2) Eurostat, employment statistycs, https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statisticsexplained/index.php?title=Employment_statistics/it, last consultation, 10/02/20(3) European Parliament, https://www.europarl.europa.eu/factsheets/it/sheet/59/uguaglianza-tra-uomini-e-donne, last consultation, 10/02/20(4) Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, https://www.europarl.europa.eu/charter/pdf/text_it.pdf, lastconsultation, 10/02/20"
