<< Objectives >>To develop the education, employability and community engagement of adults with fewer opportunities through a grassroot and peer-to-peer approaches aiming at identifying, building and recognizing competences and skills. Furthermore, the partner organisations will edit a manual for good practices based on the outcomes and the results of the activities of the project. We also plan to integrate a new organisation in Erasmus+ projects and through it develop their work at local level.<< Implementation >>There are three activities: Local paths in each of the partners’ contexts aiming at identifying skills and competences and thus build the self-empowerment and esteem of people with fewer opportunities; Three job shadowings in which a group of 5 people from one partner visits another partner in an exchange of practices experience; A final event in Lisbon with the purpose of presenting the results of the previous activities and developing the final outputs and outcomes of the project.<< Results >>Build self-esteem and confidence in adults who haven’t concluded the mandatory education levels or that have a long-term history of unemployment or lack of professional activity. Promote their employability through the identification and recognition of skills and competences. Identify and develop local leadership in each of the organisations’ contexts. Engage stakeholders to adapt or develop more inclusive and adaptable tools to better include people with fewer opportunities.

As Europe and the world turn towards nationalism, there would be a fracture between, on the one hand, young people open to difference and exchange and, on the other hand, isolated senior citizens filled with an anti-European spirit. Society today is marked by ageism: depending on one's age (and whatever one's age), one would be inclined to, or incapable of, thinking, doing and acting. A certain view that obliges us or prevents us. And limits our power to act. The ReD Senior Inter project intends to strengthen the development of the key competences of senior citizens through the internationalisation of educational actions. Through this project of exchange of practices which brings together 3 European partners (the Clube Intercultural Europeu in Portugal, the Associazione N.E.T in Italy and the Ceméa Occitanie in France), the objectives are to strengthen the skills of senior education staff in the educational actions they can develop with their audiences, to experiment international mobility actions with senior audiences, and to identify and enhance the contributions of this European dimension in the educational path of seniors. ReD Senior Inter is complementary to the training, support, partnership work and internationalisation actions already implemented by the 3 partners. The activities set up during the 24 months of the project involve staff working in education, training and support for senior citizens, meaning the partners' teams, as well as staff in the fields of education, animation and social work who are involved in the local community and who carry out educational activities for senior citizens. With 4 joint training events, the production and dissemination of methodological and pedagogical tools, and dedicated dissemination activities, ReD Senior Inter will enable them to develop new educational projects through the use of information and communication technologies, and the knowledge and understanding of European mobility programmes.People over 60 years old, considered as senior public, are involved in 3 mixed mobility and dissemination activities, which aim to change their relationship with society and to enable them to develop key competences in a collective dynamic, and thus to reinforce their empowerment. 3 transnational meetings, a collaborative platform and remote steering tools are being set up to facilitate the organisation and implementation of the project by the partners. Dissemination activities are an integral part of the project activities, as they respond directly to the objective of enhancing the educational contributions of the international dimension in the acquisition of key competences for adults. As a result of this project, staff should have acquired new methods and an openness to new working methods that they can use in their work with senior citizens and, more generally, with people in difficulty. The project partners have a strong territorial presence and local partners (socio-educational structures, associations, institutions, public authorities, local media) with whom they work closely and who are indirectly involved in the project. Through the activities implemented, the ReD Senior Inter project promotes learning by experience for all the actors involved directly or indirectly, which helps multiplying the impact of the project on both a local and international scale, and encourages the sustainability of the project beyond the 24 months of ReD Senior Inter. Finally, the partners also have the particularity of being professional training centres. The methods and practices acquired during the project will be multiplied among our learning audiences, in particular social workers and people involved in the education of seniors.

APPROACHING TO EMPLOYMENT is a project framed within the KA2 of the Erasmus + program (strategic association) that has taken place in Puente Genil (Spain), in Lisbon (Portugal) and in Caserta (Italy) jointly.The project has been developed between 1st September 2016 and 31st October 2017.Nowadays, adequate training is essential so that young people can better cope with problems such as ignorance about the labor market, the uncertainty once they have finished their studies or the disappointment that their studies do not adapt to the needs of the labor market.

"<< Objectives >>The project wants to foster environmental awareness and sustainability skills in young people by activating schools and teachers to sign up to the European Blue School Network which promotes the Ocean Literacy activities. It achieves this by implementing a true grass-roots approach that includes teachers, schools and local environmental actors in a pilot action to overcome current hindrances and by documenting this approach in a BluePrint Guide to enable other EU regions to follow this example.<< Implementation >>The ""We are Blue Schools"" project is a grass-roots pilot project. Apart from management and dissemination activities, it will - conduct a research to find out from schools and teachers what stops them from becoming Blue Schools - organise a workshop to develop a strategy concept and initiate a Community of Practice- implement the findings and support a minimum of 100 schools in Mallorca to become Blue Schools- share its experience in a BluePrint Guide for transferability to other context.<< Results >>The main results of the ""We are Blue Schools"" project are:- a strategy concept based on the research phase to determine why schools do not join the Blue School network- 100 schools in Mallorca that sign up to be Blue Schools and integrate Ocean Literacy activities into their lessons- a Community of Practice- a BluePrint Guide for other regions and organisations to copy the activities of the project - a project Flyer (in English, Spanish and Catalan), a website and social media accounts."

"DIGITAL MEDIA AND XENOPHOBIA IN EUROPEThe European Union has been based, since its creation, on the meeting of cultures, as is well expressed by the motto adopted since 2000, ""United in diversity"".This vocation has been seriously endangered over the last decade, in which - also following the migration crisis from third countries, as well as the economic crisis - we have witnessed the continuous growth of phenomena such as:-the rise of racist and xenophobic movements in many European countries;-the spread, both in the media and in the political discourse, of ""hate speech"", speeches and communications that promote hatred and discrimination;-the spread of populist and discriminatory policies.The role of digital media in disseminating narratives and information that feed these visions is ever greater, as underlined by the ECRI annual report, European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (June 2019).OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIESThe general objective of the project is to help expand knowledge and methodologies about how digital media can foster intercultural dialogue in young Europeans.The specific objective of the project is to carry out an exchange of good practices between partner organizations, concerning this crucial issue. In particular:-5 Joint Staff Training Events will be carried out in the partner countries, aimed at youth workers of partner organizations, aimed at exchanging good practices on the theme of intercultural dialogue and Digital Media; each meeting will have a specific focus, depending on the host organization, in order to explore different aspects of the project theme;-after each meeting the partner organizations will experiment the methodologies learned by carrying out training and animation activities with young people.Three outputs will also be produced, namely:- a collection of good practices exchanged;- video materials produced by the youngsters within the experimental activities, all concerning the theme of intercultural dialogue and Digital Media (tot. 40 videos and 10 podcasts);- 5 short informative videos concerning the methodologies shared in the practical exchange meetings.IMPACTThe expected impact on youth workers participating in the joint staff training concerns, first and foremost, the increase of knowledge and skills on educational methodologies aimed at young people concerning Digital Media and intercultural dialogue.Also the partner organizations, thanks to the increased competence of their staff, will see their educational competences increased in the education of young people linked to Digital Media and intercultural dialogue.The project intends to produce an impact at local, national and European level on this important issue of Digital Media and young people, not only as a development of critical knowledge, but as a focus on the impact of communication that occurs through these media on phenomena such as increased racism and xenophobia among young people.At the same time we want to underline how the knowledge and the diffusion of adequate methodologies can develop in young people a positive use of Digital Media as tool of knowledge and active participation in society, for the promotion of human rights and intercultural dialogue."
