"Family Skills project is based on a clear need identified during the planning and design of the intervention activities, of a lack of actions to support positive parenting, based on scientific evidence and innovative learning methodologies, which are considered necessary in the asset of parenting skills. Through an analysis of the needs carried out by the consortium, it emerged that parenting skills, at a socio-political level, have been strictly empathised in cases of high risk, while there is no common strategy and concept of prevention of discomfort, which is based on a strengthening of parenting skills, especially with respect to new parents and new families.In order to overcome these difficulties, the Family Skills project foresees a specific support and training action addressed to public and private operators (as adult educators) called to organize and manage training courses of parenting skills, and to sensitise parents' orientation and motivation to participate.It seems necessary to review the structure and provision of parental and adult educator-training/education, foreseeing cutting-edge solutions, thanks to the use of digital technologies and innovative tools; for this motivation, the training material will be realized for a full online usability, that includes the use of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) techniques: these training delivery techniques have proved to be, according to the scientific literature of the last years, much more effective in terms of achieving learning outcomes, for being experiential, immersive and influencing the individual's training.Specifically, the objectives of the Family Skills project are:- To help adults (parents, family members, social workers) to acquire the necessary skills to become effective educators;- To support parents in their children's education through learning pathways and empowerment of parental skills (but also of educators, teachers, and adults in general), characterized by interactive and innovative educational kits, which use virtual and immersive reality to foster skills development.- Increasing awareness and knowledge of the needs and development of children and families through audio-visuals and ICT materials, with particular emphasis on virtual reality as a tool for experiential learning.- To promote a public-private network ability of collaboration, to support parenthood through training, social and relational networking, also through the diffusion of self-organizing family models.Directing the results towards these objectives will allow to improve the parenting skills, the so called ""Family Skills"", through an active involvement of parents' groups and, at the same time, strengthening the personal and professional skills of those working in the educational sector. For this motivation our partnership, composed of public and private bodies from Italy, Romania, Belgium and Poland, through the project Family Skills intends to develop 3 intellectual outputs that consist in: the development of guidelines to design the training, aimed at the analysis of new training needs of the operators; in the implementation of a training path integrated with virtual reality and an exercise, through an active ""participation"" of the group of parents that exploits the interaction of the individuals, such as ""partner works"" specific and other activities addressed to the participant needs. The project idea also includes the use of a self-assessment tool, about individual Family Skills, through a digital interface tool. The project aims find a synthesis in an on-site experimentation that involves a group of parents (about 30) from each country, designed and implemented by the operators who will take part in a specific training."

"The CARE project - Accompanying the Careleavers in a path of Autonomy, Resilience and Empowerment, is born from the need gained over the years of experience in the field to realize a specific training aimed at university students of the faculties of humanities, which can be a value added to work with minors in view of their exit from the reception paths. In the needs analysis phase implemented thanks to the CHILD.FOR.CHILD project coordinated by the 3P Cooperative and funded by the EU REC program, the implementation of a guide figure and support to the autonomy of the young people who, after having lived part of their adolescence in reception facilities or foster families, they find themselves having to face entry into adult life ""alone"" and most of the time without the tools necessary to cope with these new changes. This even more if we consider that in Italy, the boys who live within their families of origin, at the age of eighteen, are certainly not ready for an independent life. For this reason it is important to train professionals to guide young people on a path of autonomy, resilience and empowermnent, which starts from their entry into the reception structures or foster family, and continues even after their exit, as points of reference for the guys out who don't have a family that can support them or that isn't adequate for that.The project involves the construction of 5 Intellectual Outputs:IO1: literature review of the models applied to the autonomy pathways in residential care for minors outside the familyIO2: Comparative study and analysis of intervention models for the promotion of careleavers autonomy.IO3: creation of a tool that allows the analysis of the history and models of autonomy of the children received in the community and to identify protective and risk factors, in order to elaborate a personalized autonomy project.IO4: Implementation of a toolkit for the construction of pathways of autonomy resilience and empowermentIO5: Joint curriculum for the training of an expert on the subject of promoting autonomyFollowing are the expected results:1. Training specific figures for the implementation of individualized autonomy paths of minors in communities / careleavers2. Increase awareness of the phenomenon3. Raising awareness of the governance for the implementation of policies aimed at careleavers and focusing above all on paths of autonomy4. Implement operational tools for the implementation of training courses and their evaluation5. Acquisition of new skills6. Joint curriculum thanks to the implementation of an intensive study program (ISP)for careleavers:7. Greater social inclusion8. Decreased deviance and / or alcohol and substance abuse9. Increased the possibility for the new adult to undertake more lasting training courses10. Increased the possibility for the new age to enter the world of work3 Multiplier Events will also be realized for the dissemination of the results achieved: the first in Spain, the second in Romania, the third in ItalyThe CARE project participants are distributed as follows:1. researchers and specialized operators, as regards the study and implementation of the first intellectual output-302. University professors and trainers regarding the structuring of the training modules and their implementation-103. Political administrators, managers and managers of social services, reception and protection of minors, referents of guidance and employment centers, managers of residential structures, educators of residential units, judges of the juvenile court, foster families who in how much stakeholder will be involved in the various project phases, higher education teachers-3004. Students and graduates from the universities involved (attending the short cycle, first, second or third cycle), and graduate professionals working at the involved partners and / or in other reception facilities. In the latter case, they must have a degree in one of the disciplines such as psychology, pedagogy, educational sciences-2005. Minors in reception facilities and adults over the protection system-250"

"The STUD.IO project is a Strategic Partnership in the field of Higher Education realized in collaboration between 6 organizations, from Italy, Slovakia, Spain and Romania and Spain; specifically, the project includes 4 Universities and 3 private organizations (profit and non-profit) actively involved in the improvement of social welfare and the development of innovative social policies. The project stems from the need detected during studies carried out in the field by the leading organization, in collaboration with the partner universities, about the needs that today's city-centres, whether they be small-medium-large, have in relation to new social challenges related to them. We need to consider that more than 70% of the population currently lives in European cities (Eurostat 2019), a share projected to grow to 80% by 2050; the city in fact concentrates the greatest opportunities for growth and employment, including more than 75% of jobs at EU level. On the other hand, at the same time, it is always in cities that the most serious social problems occur, such as difficulty in accessing services, housing problems, physical degradation and social and environmental disintegration: in this regard, recent reports and surveys conducted in Europe on happiness in European city life (Eurostat 2018 and Eurobarometer 419, 2016) show that in Italy, Romania and Slovakia (on a par), there is an ""unhappy"" propensity compared to the European average, with differences at a regional and local level depending on the size of population centres. The most vulnerable groups, such as children and the elderly, are necessarily more affected at the social level, and in modern societies, they are beginning to lose key relational references, which are the basis of what we indicate as happiness. One of the elements that affect the city life of the individual and his sociability is necessarily the urban organization and social policies related to it; for this motivation, knowing how to fully understand the needs, social needs, the main problems and strengths of the city context, as well as knowing how to plan and design appropriate interventions must be knowledge and skills of those who work in urban and territorial planning, taking into account the sociological and psychological aspects absolutely relevant.The STUD.IO project, therefore, taking into account the need found both at local level and in university training courses, aims to relate complementary sciences of psychology, sociology and urban planning in order to create a specialized university path accompanied by innovative tools and methodologies, especially using cutting-edge technologies, to improve and perfect the career of university students and non-university students working and studying in the field of urban development and society. The main objective of the project is to provide universities with study pathways, divided into specific modules covering different thematic areas (urban, social, anthropological, environmental, political) to meet the needs of urban development to meet the psychological, relational, sociological and physiological needs of individuals living in cities. To achieve this objective, the implementation of 4 Intellectual Outputs is foreseen:- A Literature Review on the main models and research currently available in the field of integration between Sociology, Psychology and Urbanism, in order to understand currents of academic thought and specific learning needs of students, which will be enriched by experiments and focus groups;- The creation of the STUD.IO Platform, an OnLine platform to support the project, an interactive tool composed of several training sections and spaces for collaboration between teachers and students from different faculties, institutes and countries, in order to achieve a wider exchange of knowledge, skills and methodological approaches on the topic;- The creation of the Joint Curriculum for the training of an expert in Consultancy, Planning and Management of available territorial resources, addressed in a pilot phase to 30 students who will take part in an Intensive Study Programme lasting 15 days.- A field trial and the publication of guidelines for students and experts in the field to give students the opportunity to put into practice and directly experience the knowledge they have learned in order to implement the STUD.IO model in specific contexts.The project is addressed to a twofold target group: on the one hand students, graduates and public and private employees of the sector, engaged in specialization courses; on the other hand, directly to local administrations, sector operators and companies in general where the STUD.IO model experimentation will take place."
