During recent years, universities in the participant countries of this project, have set internationalisation goals, both to compensate declining populations (especially in Estonia and Hungary) as well as to stay competitive. Together with a wave of migration, which also affects these countries at different intensity, the four participating countries have faced a new demographic situation. Although the number of immigrants, whether foreign students or other, may be not significant, there are debates in the society about the immigration, on one hand, and on the other hand schools and universities have to adapt to a changing student profile. Issues can raise when there are students from different backgrounds in the classroom whose views may be conflicting between each other or with those expressed by the teacher. But even without a diverse classroom, certain topics can be controversial, like pay gap, political conflicts or ethnic issues. So far, universities in this project countries have paid little attention on how to address these issues neutrally without creating unnecessary conflicts, and it has been up to the teacher to find the most suitable method.The objective of this project is to gather the expertise of four countries facing similar challenges, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic and Estonia, involving experts from the associated partner from Sweden, and to develop guidance material for educators from universities and general education. This material will discuss the nature of issues related to ethnicity, gender, religion or political behaviour and, the most importantly, introduce didactics to teach awareness, develop empathy and respond to controversy, handle offensive comments, create safe environment as a prerequisite for inclusion. These didactical tools will be developed jointly, in English and later adapted to local needs and translated into local languages for reaching a wider audience. The participants of the project are firstly around 30 teachers of the participating institutions. The target of around 300 people will be outreached by multiplier events, organised by every partner at the end of the project and gathering educators, education ministries and relevant NGOs. Meanwhile, at least 800 people during the last year of the project is expected to be affected by the project results due to the use of didactic material and MOOCs developed in the course of the project. As the materials will be publicly available and promoted to social and youth workers, the numbers can be even higher.The main output of the project is a didactic material adapted into an e-course for universities and school teachers. This e-course will be run in local language (except in Hungary) at least once a year. Three MOOCs on Islam, gender issues and radicalisation will be developed for a larger audience and run at least once a year. In addition to that, a methodological toolbox for teachers will be developed and publicly available. In addition to intellectual outputs, the consortium will organise two in-service trainings for teachers on addressing sensitive issues in the classroom, and multiplier events for a larger audience tailored for specific needs in every partner country.In order to reach the objectives, experts from the partner universities as well as the associated partner will contribute with their expertise both to building the content and developing the methodology. Each partner university is responsible for each intellectual output, which will be tested and assessed through trainings. The e-courses and MOOCs launched during the third year of the project will provide valuable feedback meant to improve the materials.At the end of this project, teachers will possess necessary skills and tools for creating meaningful and academically relevant discussions on sensitive issues in well-rounded and inclusive environment. The universities overall will benefit from being able to tackle and respond to challenges that internationalisation may originate. The materials developed during the project can be easily adapted to other contexts where it might be used, i.e. social work, youth work, NGOs, local communities, etc.In a long term benefit, the project consortium believes to contribute to calm, balanced and constructive discussions on sensitive issues in the multicultural modern society.

ROUTE-TO-PA is a multidisciplinary innovation project, that, by combining expertise and research in the fields of e-government, computer science, learning science and economy, is aiming at improving the impact, towards citizens and within society, of ICT-based technology platforms for transparency. ROUTE-TO-PA envisions that Information and Communication Technologies for Transparency must improve the engagement of citizens by making them able to socially interact over open data, by forming or joining existing online communities that share common interest and discuss common issues of relevance to local policy, service delivery, and regulation; moreover, ROUTE-TO-PA aims at engaging citizens to a higher degree by providing a robust and more holistic understanding of transparency, by underpinning the next generation open-data based transparency initiatives, ensuring that published data are those of value to citizens, with a personalized view in different forms to different segments of the citizens and public based on their profiles for facilitate better understanding. ROUTE-TO-PA will deliver the experimented innovative and engaging ICT platforms to ensure citizen-friendly, conscious, and effective access to open-data, by offering easy understanding of, and social collaboration on, open data offered by PAs. The objectives of Route-To-PA are: (1) develop a Social Platform for Open Data (SPOD) enabling social interactions among open data users and between open data users and government data ; (2) build Transparency-Enhancing Toolset (TET) as extensions for existing major Open Data Platforms; and (3) develop a set of recommendations (GUIDE) as good practice guide for open data publishers for achieving higher quality transparency through open data. The objectives are deployed, tested and experimented in a real setting, with at least 5 pilot studies in five different European countries.

Given the cultural differences, economic situations and National legislations among the different EU countries, CSR implementation has reached different level of development, influencing greatly the provision of trainings in the companies and the provision of professional support by business consultant. One of the reasons for the increased level of interest is the participation of many western EU companies on CEE territories and the growing relations and economic interests, as observed by the partners. The present proposal is aimed at finding the best education solution to formulate a curriculum for the production of a training in CSR, that can satisfy the needs of future participants especially the ones coming from Central and East Europe,. The proposed curriculum can offer them a better prospective on how sustainable and ethical organizations operate and to learn how to get enterprises interested in improve their CSR activities. Such care for employees and customers by a company has a direct impact on employees’ productivity, company’s image and with a huge benefit on company's competitiveness. By actively promoting social responsibility at all organizational levels, enterprises can significantly contribute to the European Union’s objectives of sustainable development and creation of the highly competitive social market economy. The partners analysed different aspects and situations related to sustainable and socially responsible organization, ethical behaviours, and sustainable management of resources. Their aims has been to investigate the most appropriate learning approach to be applied for delivering training to managers, business consultants, government officials and other professionals responsible for implementing CSR activities or monitoring them. During the project lifetime, both participants and stakeholders have been invited in taking part in different workshops to discuss the selected topics and assess the products as prepared by the partners. Those are the results that that be sustained after the project conclusion +Curriculum and Training Structure for Business Consultants and Managers+Curriculum of Train the Trainer training: Leading CSR, Certified Program+Engagement strategy to involve participants in the local workshopsFor this reason, the project is expected to have a positive impact on the partners and on the participants as: - Increase awareness on the importance of CSR method - Improved quality of the work developed in the procedures of evaluation of the learning of the participants and their certification;- Enlarged ability to use of simpler terminology, more interesting and engaging for target groups and stakeholders -New and more engaging methodology and tools to implement the CSR oriented tasks and activities
