Social intervention targeted at the young people who come under child protection has faced new challenges in Europe over the last few decades (new forms of poverty and exclusion, structural changes) which led public policies to increasingly favour targeted approaches at the expense of more general wide-ranging approaches. The idea of « youth at risk » has spread into the mass media as well as into the public policy guidelines – encompassing both the youngsters who are in a situation of danger for themselves and the young persons deemed representing a danger to others. This second profile has received a greater focus since the young of the so-called « sensitive » districts are more and more seen as a threat to public order and to civic life. Social educators therefore need to be provided with new tools and methods to be able to help such people re-mobilise their potential in order to escape stigmatisation from society’s view of them and their own perception of themselves. It is crucial to provide them with the social and personal competence which will enable them to come back into the social framework. Those young who are looking for meaning in their lives, have less opportunities for vocational, civic, citizen education and mobility than the population in general. Their precarious professional, social and cultural situation demands that they be presented with projects relating to themes with which they are concerned. They are caught in a communication based world in which image is paramount, where information is immediately broadcasted without any filter nor caution.‘IMAGES’ aims at enabling such young people who come under child protection, issued from quite various horizons, to compare their views, situations and feelings and to gain means for « resolving » their difficulties, despite apparently unrelated environments and cultures, through photo reporting. Due to this individual and collective resilience framework, the obvious benefits will be to enable them to commit themselves and to carry their views through this medium, to reveal and develop hidden skills that they may capitalise and use in their future life: valuing themselves will favour their narcissistic reconstruction when, in a majority of cases, their ego has collapsed. ‘IMAGES’ will offer them a self awareness through the diversity of information and the proper use of the computer tools. It also allows to meet the expectations of the specialised-education professionals looking for tools, educational innovation and openness in order to better respond to young people’s needs. Allowing them to cross their knowledge, know-hows and behaviour with those of other professionals through a co-constructivist exchange of experience will also broaden their professional prospects.Target Audience: •Young 13-25-year old people facing social, educational difficulties, non stable situations, coming under the child protection system, including young unaccompanied migrants•Social workers, educators and professionals concerned by asocio-educative animation and accompaniement.Objectives:-To enable young people restore a positive image of themselves through their commitment into a collective, open project and by multiplying the « extraordinary » experiences which will provide them back with a feeling of personal value.-To develop a critical thinking about their environment by favouring the opening to the world through an increased curiosity and by interviewing all the sources of information-To strengthen the spirit of belonging to a human collective in thouse who face educational and social difficulties, allowing them to find their right place within their own environment as a place for collective resilience. -To improve their creative, intellectual, organisational and digital skills with a view to empowerment and restoring their confidence in adults and society and thus to provide them with the power to keep control of their future,-To provide professionals with new tools, new methods and perspectives in matter of socio-educational animation.The transnational approach (between Groenland, Spain, Switzerland, France) will compare the cultural and multi-disciplinary practices (the importance of mobility for these young people, their link to « roots », the management of emotions, collective resilience, etc). Such an approach through culture and origins may be understood and begins through exchanges with others. The specific experience of Groenland, the crossing of young migrants, young in situation of drop-out, will force these young people and the professionals to reflect and prove that, in so much diverse geographical situations and socio-economical environments, the problems faced by these teenagers are similar and that the education and safety requirements, their fundamental needs, are the same.

ContextNowadays, autism affects 3.3 million people in the European Union - about 1 in 150 people are diagnosed with this disability in Europe. Although specific efforts have been made by autism plans in different key phases of the life of autistic people, the transition phase of adolescents and young adults in their access to a more independent life is a special phase insufficiently taken into account in an inclusive aim. In addition to having a comparative approach to the policies of the Member States to work on convergences and benchmark, the challenge is to better define the needs of the relevant stakeholders and to propose innovative tools and methods to professionals (education, social) to support the transition to an integrated and independent approach. life. Professionals and families need access to tools, devices and resources to better support this phase. ObjectivesTRAIL has contributed to the identification and implementation of good practices (frameworks, resources, tools) to support the transition phase of young adults with autism. These innovations are aimed at support professionals but also at young people and their families for a more independent life in ordinary life. An essential objective was also to transfer 3 innovative practices directly operational and usable by a large number of professionals: HIPE training (TOI Leonardo 2012) short session for an immediate efficiency of professionals in contact with autistic people) - Interactive Theater method allowing professionals to co-construct and script complex situations - Mobile Units of the APAJH38 allowing multidisciplinary teams to intervene at home with people with autism to help them in their daily lives.ConsortiumThe promoter LES PAPILLONS BLANCS de Dunkerque - SAMO (France) is an association that supports people with intellectual disabilities with or without associated disorders including autism. TRAIL has logically mobilized 5 partners of the HIPE4ASD project: THE REGIONAL DIRECTORATE OF THESSALY RECTORATH (Greece) which made it possible to work on the axis of inclusive education in close connection with families - FORO TECNICO DE FORMACION (Spain) a center certified national vocational training program which also helped to deploy a skills approach in the transfer phases - PASSPORT EUROPE (France) coordinator of HIPE4ASD was able to support the coordination, the process of valorization and innovation - NATIONAL AUTISTIC SOCIETY (UK) Association The National Major Program on Autism in the UK joined HIPE in the final conference and carried out the project studies. TP-TEATERN (Sweden) Theater Company working for the social sector and APAJH38 (France) accompanying people with disabilities in different fields have completed the project as a bearer of innovative actions to transfer their know-how. INTERMEDIAKT (Greece) ICT specialist took charge of the creation of TRAIL's online environment.Activities and resultsA comprehensive online environment has been created to support information gathering, communities (especially for studies) and learning activities (especially during innovation transfer) and dissemination.The consortium finalized 4 studies (not exhaustive) to have a comparison between partner countries in the transition phase: 1. Comparative approach of social policies 2. Needs of professionals 3. Needs of young adults and their families 4. Survey of decision makers.The collected information and the documentary research have identified a set of innovations (validated by the Steering Committees) assembled in the TRAIL Toolkit (devices, tools and resources) covering the different fields of life of young people in transition.A training module has been created to help professionals support these young people during the transition phase.Impact and bénéfices Studies, exchanges have highlighted large differences in approaches and organizations related to the specific cultures and social policies of each country, each partner discovering devices, innovations, training modules Directly transferable. Of this collaborative work was born the desire to develop projects aimed at improving the courses for all partners, as for example in France and in Greece, the use of interactive theatre in schools, college and high School to promote Inclusion and acceptance of the difference, in an inclusive view.

"In the context of environmental and social crisis in Europe, it is crucial to develop social, civic and professional education perspectives for young people in search of meaning in an all-disposable consumer society.The ECOSTEP Youth project has generated a transnational dynamic driven by groups of young people, taking as a medium ""the waste"", innate to all societies, to make them engaged and knowledgeable citizens by bringing shared solutions on common issues. It engaged 13 mixed teams, representing a total of 95 young people from various social and cultural backgrounds, in 5 countries (France, Ireland, Spain, Morocco and Greece), under the expertise of 7 youth oriented partner organizations with an emphasis on pedagogy and innovation :The promoter ATELIER D'éco SOLIDAIRE France, resource center for creative reuse - PASSEPORT EUROPE France, innovation and valorisation expertise - TRINIJOVE Spain, formal and informal education foundation working in the priority neighborhoods of Barcelona - INTERMEDI@KT Greece, specialists in New Technologies - CRNI Ireland, national network of reuse with 2 of its members ReCREATE (material library dedicated to educational and creative projects) and REDISCOVERY CENTER (center of environmental education with artisan workshops) - AL IKRAM Morocco, association of upcycling leading projects with young people and single-parent families from disadvantaged neighborhoods of Casablanca - FORO TECNICO DE FORMACION Spain, vocational training center.The learning activity (mobility week) which took place from the 30th of october till the 4th of november 2017 in Bordeaux, was the flagship event in embarking on decisive action for the launch of the projects activities. It was intended for young people selected for their skills to train them on the stakes and objectives of the project. These became ECOSTEP ""ambassadors"" who in turn recruited and accompanied their own teams in participating in the projects activities (including the design competition and the creation of a WEBdoc).3 intellectual outputs were produced:1.A European competition on the theme of upcycling: 13 teams entered the competition. They were accompanied by professionals and were trained during numerous workshop sessions (design research, choice of materials, prototype production, making of final piece, development of videos and presentation documents for teams and end products). Their work has resulted in the creation of unique and creative pieces, made from recycled materials, some of which have been identified by professionals, paving the way for potential commercialization. A wide dissemination via the project portal (https://ecostep-youth.eu) and social networks made it possible to select a national winning team by country, a team rewarded by the public vote, and a laureate at European level via an international jury.2.A web documentary produced by and for young people, on the theme of the creative and artistic reuse of waste, the ""green"" and craft trades: an interactive multimedia environment (videos, photos, interviews), a real educational tool enriched by a glossary translated into 5 languages defining essential terms for these topics.3.Participatory workshops open to the general public were organized by the young people, thus enabling them to get involved in the implementation of a public event. These workshops brought visibility to the project and put into practice the techniques learned. The aim was to make participants aware of more environmentally friendly consumption patterns.An interdisciplinary approach within the consortium, a strong organisation of the areas of resources, arts and design and the accompaniment of young people ( the projects target audience) made it possible to detail quality productions, reflecting not only the values of the project for the young people but also allowing them to display their sensitivity and creativity on these themes. ECOSTEP Youth has contributed to bringing them new personal and professional skills thus demonstrating the full potential and the added value of this type of innovative educational action for young people, and in particular those in insertion or at risk of social exclusion. Each one, involved in all the phases of the project, is in his or her own way an ambassador of the values carried by the project and they benefited from a rewarding experience, rich in exchanges and learned skills. This in turn helped nurture confidence, self-esteem, awareness of circular economy and openness to new career paths."

"The employment objectives of the European Union (75% of assets from 25 to 64 years) to Horizon 2020 and the United Nations objectives (2021-2027), ratified by the EU, on the rights of living people with a disability, raise the rights and conditions of access to independent living, which is inseparable from an inclusive and diverse approach.""Different"" people, especially disabled ones, still face great difficulties in living normally in the current conditions. Inclusion in society would imply that it is up to society toadapt to the singularities of people, to their differences, by developing and changing their environment to facilitate informational, geographical, physical and financial access to all citizens. This implies mobilizing all the components of our society to think their lives differently, favouring sustainable development in all territories, rural or urban (and this from a technical, ecological, social, leisure, health, culture, landscape, etc point of view).Any discussion about autonomy for disabled people, means talking about all access paths to independent life. Self-determination is a major challenge to make disabled people key-actors of their life. The aim is to provide them the possibility/power of acting, and to do it in a welcoming and caring environment, which allows them make choices and enables them to be responsible. That is why, all the professionnals and stakeholders involved must work together and with an interdisciplinary approach to make ordinary life inclusive. That requires us to modify the representations of the reality lived by these people and their resources by improving the support devices and services and removing the barriers they face. A facilitation process is also required to improve inclusion of these people in common law instances, for all topics of their life, especially autonomy in their accomodation, access to administration services, access to healthcare and to hobbies and cultural activities.)MEDIA is part of this challenge and aims to train people living with a disability to acquire the position of inclusion facilitator on their territory as a vector of inclusion for their peers with local professionals. The inclusion facilitator thus becomes an agent of his own empowerment and that of his peers as well as an agent of transformation of social representations on people with disabilities. It will also be important to structure this dynamic of self-determination and empowerment to ensure its sustainability and future efficiency.MEDIA aims to contribute to an inclusive environment, to change the vision and representation linked to different people, and especially people with a cognitive disability. Objectives- Firstly, develop training courses « autonomiseur inclusif » (inclusion facilitator), based on skills and knowledges approach. Secondly, train disabled people to perform this job. This training course will be supplemented by a SPOC focused on knowledge and first-hand experience.- Create and develop interdisciplinary professionnal teams in different areas to support this process (government agencies, care facilities, accommodation, culture, hobbies…..) to remove the barriers and create levers for the inclusive transition.- Collect and share the practices to define the conditions. Define procedures by finding common topics and by considering the contextual specificities to produce advice to ensure the value of this job, and contribute to adapt the intervention policy.The project MEDIA is carried by LES CENTRES D’HABITAT DU LITTORAL DUNKERQUOIS (France), which are included in the association Papillons Blancs de Dunkerque, and is surrounded with strong partners who share common values and involvement around self-determination, empowerment : ASSOCIATION DE LOVIE VZW (Belgique), FORO TECNICO DE FORMATION (Espagne), PASSEPORT EUROPE (France), HAUTE ECOLE DE TRAVAIL SOCIAL (Suisse) and an associated partner HANDIDACTIQUE chaired by Pascal JACOB, who was the leader of a first « autonomiseur/facilitator » training. Our partners are all involved in social and professionnal inclusive practices, and are able to mobilise the required interdisciplinary teams."

"Today, the number of children exiled in Europe is increasing and more than one in three is a minor. Some of them, known as “unaccompanied minors” (UM), are alone, without parents. While some left their home country alone, others were separated from their families during their migratory journey, all of them having had very difficult journeys. 70% are denied any care by host countries. These children are in danger and should be protected under the 1989 International Convention on the Rights of the Child and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. And because they are minors, they can settle in the host countries.Whatever the reason for it, economic, health or political, the migration of these young people is constantly re-questioning the hospitality and care strategies of the host countries in two areas in particular: migration management and child protection. Beyond societal and human issues, professionals continue to face new «emergencies» either because of the change in migration routes, or because of a change in the typology of migration, which means constantly adapting to new profiles. The primary objective of the socio-educational institutions is to welcome, accompany and care for the migrant minors. Therefore, the social practitioners must better understand the migratory trajectories, their issues and consequences.Faced with the pressure of these changes and the resulting needs, SCHEME aims to set up a holistic framework and approach at territorial but also cross-cultural level so that professionals can develop more tailored responses to these new challenges. Professionals need to enrich and develop their expertise to better understand and support these Unaccompanied Minors, to improve the way to collect the relevant information, to help them integrate into the codes of the host countries but also to develop their capabilities for personal projects. Capitalizing on an action-research approach and being able to identify the criteria for success with all key actors, will identify the conditions for sustainable and legal integration. By moving away from the psychological approach that aims to understand the history of UMs exclusively through their trauma and without minimizing their importance, the partnership wishes to handle these issues from the “positive” experience perspective through the development of potential and capacity. It will be about helping the minor refocusing on their existing and available capacities in the construction of his/her “new” project with an inclusive, sustainable and legal goal.SCHEME addresses professionals from all relevant sectors: social work (child protection - migration), legal issues, police, health and sanitary including also diasporas and unaccompanied minors themselves (particularly from Sub-Saharan Africa).Objectives‐To help the professionals understand new requirements, adjust their pedagogical expertise including ethical questions. To this end, SCHEME will transfer an innovative method, based on the analysis of decision-making processes. This method aims at the improvement of action potential and skills and with a proven track record, it will improve the social work models, the tools to support objective decision making and the expertise of the professionals involved.‐To set up interdisciplinary territorial synergies in the form of a cross-cultural observatory and research-action work based on current data (anthropology/intercultural ethnology), using cross-referencing approaches. This cooperation will enable them to better identify sources of migration both legal and illegal, to better understand Unaccompanied Minors’ routes, to identify social and cultural integration values and to capitalize on success criteria. This capillary work from the existing networks will also make it possible to get out from representations.‐To carry out a MOOC as a knowledge transfer tool (anthropological profile, bibliography, cartography, evidences, videos, existing projects) to better understand trajectories, better support UM and identify their skills for sustainable economic and social integration.In order to enrich the Observatory dimension, SCHEME will involve countries facing different kinds of migration such as countries that have recently begun to experience migration due to the modification of usual migratory routes (Greece, Spain), countries that are experiencing mass migration due to many diverse issue such as access to their ""health"" system (France) and home or transit countries (Senegal - Morocco). Taking into account cultural affiliations and migratory routes will make it possible to respond to several key issues, to co-elaborate sustainable solutions based on the skills and creativity of Unaccompanied Minors."
