<< Objectives >>Through the exchange of good practices between ES, PT and IT, Rural Creative Labs aims to increase the sense of initiative, entrepreneurship mindset and digital competence in young adult population living in rural areas by investing in the capacity building of adult facilitators and creating transnational opportunities for learners at European level. We want to fight depopulation and the lack of accessibility of high-quality learning opportunities for young adults living in rural areas.<< Implementation >>We are going to organize (1) transnational mobilities for the partner organizations and adult educators and (2) local/transnational bootcamps for adult learners. The aim is (1) to boost the European networking and exchange of good practices among organizations and adult educators from IT, ES and PT; and (2) to test innovative tools with adult learners in local bootcamps and allow them to share their ideas in a transnational learning mobility, exploring the rural context in Portugal.<< Results >>With this project, we are promoting the capacity-building of organizations to work on a transnational level and increasing the quality of the learning opportunities offered to young adult learners living in rural areas regarding digital/soft skills and entrepreneurship training. Bringing Europe to the local level and opening the mindset of adult educators and learners, we will dynamize these rural regions and create a toolkit with the tools explored for further rural regions to replicate.

<< Objectives >>EARLYBRAIN will provide parents and relatives of children with developmental disorders with specific knowledge and skills to promote the development of their children. EARLYBRAIN is characterized by a joint, transdisciplinary and coordinated action to understand the child from a biopsychosocial approach and to empower parents/caregivers. It will promote good practice exchange and raise awareness on the need of early childhood interventions in line with the Child Guarantee, UNCRC and UNCRPD.<< Implementation >>EARLYBRAIN activities will be framed in 2 WPs:- WP2 Development of Toolkit (D1): best practices selection, development of training resources, co-creation of tales and stories and guidelines for users, design and validation activities.- WP3 Policy recommendations (D2): including drafting and validation through workshops.In addition, results will be translated into English, Spanish, Italian and French, shared and promoted through different channels, ensuring their impact and sustainability.<< Results >>EARLYBRAIN will deliver 4 main results: 1. A Toolkit with training contents for adult relatives/caregivers, including best practices and illustrated tales and stories (D1).2. Policy recommendations to address early care (D2) aimed at raising awareness among policy and decision makers.3. Two events aimed at disseminating the Toolkit among adult relatives/caregivers in Spain (E1) and Italy (E2).4. An international Event (E3) in Belgium to foster the debate on the policy recommendations.

Bridging the gender gap, in its mature phase, means moving through collaboration in scientific sectors towards innovation in business sectors. Shemakes.eu blends the approaches of two leading innovation ecosystems – Fabricademy (https://textile-academy.org/) and TCBL (https://tcbl.eu/) - within the textiles and clothing sector and acts to promote, highlight and celebrate the leading role of women in innovation, with the goal of permanently re-shaping the opportunity structures of at least 16 European Member States and Associated Countries. To carry out this goal, shemakes.eu develops an integrated innovation ecosystem promoting gender parity along three strategic axes: - Learning Paths, modelled on the Fabricademy curricula, engage girls and women innovators belonging to three age groups. - Innovation Services, based on the TCBL Lab Service model, engage local communities and businesses in collaborative innovation activities as well as carrying out networked multi-Lab innovation projects and validating new business concepts. - Reputation Management promotes different types of role models within the community of the girls and women leading the way in the sector’s transformation. These activities are accompanied by four transversal WPs – Opportunity Ecosystem, Evaluation and Impact Assessment, Communication and Dissemination, and Project Management - that ensure their coherence in working towards the overall objectives. Shemakes.eu is a two-year initiative with a consortium of 10 partners in 7 countries, led by the service company of the TCBL network; its activities expand from a first set of 6 core Labs to incorporate 12 ‘transfer’ Labs in a second phase of implementation. Sustainability is ensured by incorporation of the new learning and service modules into the two pre-existing Fabricademy and TCBL networks, with the diffused uptake of shemakes.eu results driving impact towards enhanced roles and improved opportunities for women in mainstream economic sectors.
