    << Objectives >>By implementing this project, migrants seeking to enter the labour market will be better able to communicate and give a better service to service users. This is essential as the pandemic highlighted how isolated and vulnerable users can be. The project will help in inclusion of migrant workers, will improve the level of courses offered by adult education centres and will offer capacity building for the trainers.<< Implementation >>1.Our initial study created the basis for this project. We are going to build on the study and carry out a full blown training needs analysis which will translate into a research paper available for anyone with an interest in the INCLUSION OF MIGRANT LEARNERS.2. We will focus on the low and medium skilled migrant learners and we will develop an IT course which will serve as a tool for learners to follow further training courses.3. Adult education staff will be trained<< Results >>Our project is three fold:We will have information and data - qualitative and quantitative about the needs of migrant learners and employers.We will create an IT course - 8 modules which will be used of the first cohort of 80 learnersAn adult education staff course to give the staff skills to teach learners how and what needs to be done to follow virtual and blended courses.

    "Considering the benefits of a gender-sensitive and reflective education for all, and recognising the social importance of transformative educational interventions in the early lives of individuals, along with the need for a more active engagement of boys and young men into the gender equality conversation, this project aims to provide educators/facilitators (e.g. trainers, teachers, youth and NGO workers, gender experts, gender and LGBTIQ+ activists, policy makers and other stakeholders) with a coherent, open, online educational tool-kit that will include a complete course on gender/gender-sensitive education targeting the audience of teenage boys, between 15 and 17 years old. The project will be implemented by a coalition of organisations from three European countries, that is, Cyprus, Spain, and the Netherlands. The applicant organisation is a newly established NGO in Cyprus, the Center for Gender Equality and History (KIIF). The partner organisations include the Gale Foundation in the Netherlands, that is, an NGO focused on LGBTIQ+ education, the Conexus NGO in Spain, which specialises in combating gender-based violence, and the Center for Social Innovation (SCI), a social enterprise based in Cyprus with particular expertise in digital and interacting learning environments. In this context, with a consortium consisting of gender experts, LGBTIQ+ activists, youth workers, educators/trainers/facilitators, psychologists, and technology experts, the partnership aspire to present an Interactive Digital Learning Tool-kit that will help educators/facilitators to successfully engage teenage boys in gender education; target the particular needs and challenges faced by teenage boys in regard to their gendered experience; offer to the participants a meaningful experience of transforming harmful gender norms; empower teenage boys to become allies in the goal of gender equality. Methodologically, the first step toward this goal will be the development of a course curriculum that will follow an interactive and playful approach aiming to be particularly attractive and relevant to the adolescent male audience and that will address subjects such as gender issues and social justice, gender identities and individual/collective freedom, combating gender-based violence, building healthy relationships from the perspective of gender equity, men's sexual and reproductive health, strategies for assuming personal/collective responsibility and positive change etc. from a gender-aware, gender-sensitive, and age-appropriate perspective. The second step will be the integration of the course curriculum into a digital environment in the form of an open, online learning platform, namely the ""Interactive Digital Learning Tool-kit"" consisting of a complete gender education course of approximately 50-55 hours of work; including preparation, ""homework"" or any other “out-of-class” activity. If taken as a complete course, it will therefore correspond to 2 ECTS. However, the tool-kit will also be applicable as an easy-to-use tool for facilitating short autonomous workshops and individual activities, while part of the digital learning tools delivered by this project will be a mobile application based on the tool-kit.Overall, the project will provide educators/stakeholders with a European oriented course aiming to address the common needs, challenges and attitudes shared by young (adolescent) boys living in the social, legal and economic context of the EU, while being designed to be easily adjusted/adapted into the national/local environments of the EU states. For this purpose, the last one of the project's deliverables will be a ""Methodology & Adaptation Guide (Interactive eBook)"" aiming to provide specific guidelines to educators, stakeholders and multipliers on how to integrate the learning tools and the project's outputs in their training activities in different social-cultural settings and implement accreditation processes relevant to the European context (i.e. youth pass, ECVET and ECTS). By providing the world with these learning tools, the project will contribute in the engagement and empowerment–in terms of gender equality, gender awareness, healthy relations etc–of a particular category of young people, the male adolescent, who are often vulnerable to gender stereotyping/labeling, gender-related insecurities, perceived threats to their identity, toxic behaviours linked to particular perceptions of masculinity & power relations etc. but who are often excluded from gender/gender-sensitive education as societies continue to consider gender-related issues as women's issues. This will advance the visibility of the need and the benefits of engaging boys/young men in the issues of gender justice and will strengthen the partners and all organisations/individuals involved in (gender/gender-sensitive) education/research/activism in their overall efforts to engage men, especially young men, into the gender equality conversation."
