The aims of the project entitled Innovative Cultural Heritage the Root of European Identity (INTERACT) are gravitated in the same direction as the European Cultural Tourism sector policies, which are adopting innovative practices for tourists pursuing authentic cultural experiences. In addition to this is a commitment to improving service quality, promoting historical traditions, preserving local culture and boosting landscapes and heritage. Based on this approach, the INTERACT Project plans to utilise the transnational cultural tourism strategy promoted by the European Commission.The European Commission's goal is to implement a series of activities to improve professional and transferable skills, as well as create sustainable tourism services strategies, in order to boost the importance and increase the knowledge of the European Cultural Identity, making it affordable and accessible to a wider public, from across backgrounds and generations. INTERACT project intends to deliver innovative training and professional opportunities to educators as well as operators who are keen or already performing in the field of Cultural Heritage, through activities project-based learning of 28 months.The project will be managed by the coordinator FIND AN INTERNSHIP with the support of a consortium of partners. This consortium is comprised of organisation in the following fields:- Adult Education-Theater- Non- Verbal Communication-Tale practices-Digital Media related to tourismThe partner organisations plan to promote new innovative tools, guidelines, and practices in different EU countries and promote activities.The INTERACT partnership is as follow:- YOUTH EUROPE SERVICE from Italy-S.C PREDICT CSD from Romania- INTERACTING S.L from Spain-LOGOS POLSKA from PolandFIND AN INTERNSHIP from the UK (Coordinator).The project lifecycle will be based on the dispatching of tasks among all partners on the basis of timeline. In addition, an efficient process will enable the proactive participation of all the partners from the responsibility roles to the deliverables. All the tasks will be implemented with the input of the others. The main activities of the INTERACT project will be as follows:-Five Transnational Project Meeting (TPM): With the goal of starting the development of the project activities, dissemination strategies, developing and sharing good practices as well as intellectual outputs.- Joint Staff Training Event (JSTE): The joint staff training event will offer an opportunity to evaluate activities through testing and peer learning. The event will be attended by 15 participants (3 from each organisation) with the aim of developing an educational toolkit. The educational toolkit will be given to the participants of the final seminars. -Three Intellectual Outputs creation (IO):IO1- Theatrical Performances A series of theatrically guided tours with “guiding actors” wearing historical dresses, will talk about the principal historical and artistical points of interest of the European cities involved.IO2- Digital PlatformA Digital Platform with research material on the contents produced inside the project (to enhance the experience before and after the events).IO3-Experiential Augmented Reality appAn Experiential Augmented Reality app for mobile devices, connected to an analogic map/game to: - Experience real-time created contents - Guide the audience through the discovery of the imagined path with video - Animations- Dissemination of the project results: in the context of local multiplier events, during which the intellectual output will be presented and tested, opening the experience of public enjoyment of citizens, tourists, and local stakeholders.-Training Seminars: Will take place in each partner country at the end of the project activities. The purpose of the training seminars is to share the educational toolkit and train participants in order to be competitive entrepreneurs or employable in the Cultural Tourism market.Overall, all the activities of the INTERACT project intend to create a path to improve skills, knowledge, and experience in the field of cultural heritage. Furthermore, the project will explore intercultural communication and establish cultural heritage as important for our identity.

"Flexible production systems in technologically advanced companies, that integrate the various phases and operational processes through digitization and commissioning in the network of interactive systems and tools: this is the vision of Industry 4.0, or the fourth industrial revolution.New technologies, work environments, organizational structures, and the different forms of internal and external collaboration of Industry 4.0 bring great changes to workers' skills. To realize this new industrial revolution it is necessary to innovate the VET systems, favouring learning activities related to the world of work, to its changes, and to the places of the enterprise. The VET Systems must be oriented to future business models and to what they require: motivated, adaptable workers, able to manage processes, make innovation, bring added value in thecompany.In addition to solid and well-established and technical and generic skills, workers need transversal skills, such as the ability to solve problems, reflection, creativity, critical thinking, learning to learn, social and intercultural skills, adaptation, communication skills and abilities, ability to work in a team.The partners supporting the ""IMPROVE"" project, aims to promote innovative practices and tools in VET, in order to encourage people to consider VET as “an important choice on their professional path”, as set by the European Commission in one of “Ten actions” of the new and comprehensive “Skills Agenda for Europe” (launched in June 2016). As Remarked in the Agenda, the UE Commission purpose is making Vocational Education and Training (VET) a “first choice” by enhancing opportunities for VET learners to undertake a work based learning experience and promoting greater visibility of good labour market outcomes of VET.IMPROVE project aimd to satisfy the need of innovation in VET systems, thanks to alternative and successful methodologies/approaches to the learning environment, in order to create successful experience in job-oriented learning.This contributed to reduce the lack of an effective system to transfer knowledge and provide learners of skills necessary for self-employment or employment.The partners propose is to create innovative tools and guidelines, which can be introduced in their countries, used by the personnel who work in various ways in VET (teachers, schools, organizations, NGO, SME), widespread among the learners to support their employability and self-employment, shared by organizations in Europe, as the subject of further projects and initiatives to improve VET systems.The partners supporting the project were identified considering first of all their heterogeneity, in fact they are companies, NGOs and foundations involved in Educational and vocational training and third-level training institutions: this included in the project an integration of experience, knowledge and best practices.Each partner contributed to IMPROVE by bringing also the results of previous national and international projects, realized in VET, third level education and training, adult education and youth support.As a result, partners created outputs available in five languages. The materials developed are valid and shared both at the national level and at the European level. They were used by stakeholders of the partners involved, amplified the scope of the project and contributed to a more incisive action of innovation of VET systems.During the implementation of IMPROVE, partners organization run together different activities in the five countries involved in the project, such as:• A brochure available in Fivelanguages• 2 Newsletters available in Fivelanguages• An eBook of good practices available in Five languages• Six Transnational Project Meetings• Seven Intellectual Outputs• A Joint Staff trainingEvent• Six Multiplier Events on each partner country to test the project results, disseminate and promote its outputsThe materials created were well recognised and tested by all the participants involved on the project allowing them to adapt the knowledge provided to their own contexts. All the results of IMPROVE were openly shared on the project website (https://www.improveproject.eu)."
