CONTEXT70% of European adults have experienced some type of traumatic event at least once in their lives, resulted from, either:-Accidents, natural disasters, biological factors (e.g. Corona Virus)-Child abuse or neglect-Physical, emotional or sexual abuse-Grief and loss-Medical interventions-War and other forms of violence-Witnessing acts of violence-Cultural, intergenerational and historical traumaIn the countries involved in this project, the rate of individuals with Post Traumatic Disorder (PTD), is 8.37% in Spain, 8.4% in Romania.Unfortunately, there are no available rates since 2014 in Turkey and Cyprus because attempts to reach estimations are still to be made, and the situation changed globally so much since that year.In Spain, after the pandemic starts, 53% of the health staff showed signs of PTD.The percentage of professionals trained in mental health is proved to be low in the countries partners of the project, especially in this period, when mental health is the main key to adapt to the new reality: 9.6 mental health trained professional/ 100 000 citizens in Spain, 5.6 in Cyprus, 4.5 in Turkey and 7.8 in Romania, while the European average is 18 professionals/100 000 citizens.Therefore, through our project we aim to develop an innovative training package for health VET trainers to use as a basic tool to train health support staff to familiarise them with PTD and increase their skills and competences to recognise and treat individuals with traumatic disorders through proper strategies for de-escalating stressful interactions. OBJECTIVES AND TARGET GROUPSOnline Colour Therapy project will involve at least 360 persons:160 Health support staff and health VET trainers in the online Training courses, Virtual Reality scenarios, Psychotherapy working groups on how to treat post-traumatic disorder through colour therapy, and in C1& C2 trainings (40 persons-ES, 40-RO, 40-TR, 40-CY)200 (at least) Decision makers, health experts, specialists, professionals- as results of the dissemination activities (50 persons-ES, 50-RO, 50-TR, 50-CY)Objectives:Obj.1 design, test and publish an innovative training package for health VET trainers, which will be their tool to train health support staff to acquire sufficient knowledge and understanding about PTD and develop the skills and competences necessary to recognise, interact, and treat appropriately individuals with PTD Obj.2 deliver training courses to directly train health support staff in a set of skills and, also, to deliver these courses to a target group of health VET trainers and health support staff, in order to amplify and perpetuate the ripple effect of those coursesObj.3 help families/social group of individuals with PTD connect with health support staff and develop mutual trust in coping with the process and emergency situations.METHODOLOGY TO BE USEDThe project coordinator will ensure the smooth communication flow between partners. To legally ensure the successful realization of the project, a consortium agreement will be signed by all project partners. The lead partner will create a steering committee-SC (1 delegate/ partner), who will be responsible to report to the project coordinator and to the management team all the financial and administrative tasks of the partner. The SC will meet face to face 4 times, monitoring the development and progress of project's activities with the partners responsible and coordinating each project components.SHORT DESCRIPTION OF THE MAIN RESULTSThe project will achieve as main tangible results: - A curriculum box training in post-traumatic disorder through art therapy- A specific art Psychotherapy working groups’ methodology - A Colour therapist manual for PTD group treatment sessions.- 2 LTTAs will be organized with 5 participants/each partner country (C1- in ES, for health VET trainers, and C2- CY, for health support staff)- A Virtual Reality environment will be created, with scenarios for treating PTD.- 4 Camps (ME), one in each partner’s countryIMPACT ENVISAGED & POTENTIAL LONGER-TERM BENEFITSOur long-term objective for impact is rising the awareness of how important are post-traumatic disorder treatments, how important is art therapy- mainly colour therapy in treating mental health issues, how can different target groups and education communities’ benefit from these new skills, with special focus on improving mental health.After the Erasmus+ programme funding is finished, the main project outputs (curriculum box, VR environment, psychotherapy working groups methodology, colour therapist manual for PTD group treatment sessions) will continue to be used by the project partners and will be available for free for the public for at least 5 years.

"Context: According to the Reward & Employee Benefits Association researchers from 2018 and 2019 provision of wellbeing services is critical for employee engagement and creating a positive working culture. The mental health of employees becomes a more relevant topic and according to the survey from 2019, "". Many C-suite directors recognize that the workplaces of today are highly pressurized and often stressful (or as recruitment adverts like to gloss it up, fast-paced) which takes its toll on workforces. Almost three-quarters of our respondents say high pressure and high-intensity environments"". The research from 2018 is showing that Just over a third (35%) of respondents provide training for line managers to help them support and promote employee wellbeing. And just a third (34.3%) of this group make this training mandatory for line managers to complete. It is evident that businesses, entities, and NGOs are willing to equip employees with the necessary knowledge and skills to cope with the well being of their employees. However, this raises the necessity of more structured information and guidance together with the competence list of the role that will enable them to improve the well being of their employees in all manner, and this is what the project ""Stressless Employees"" will do. Objectives: Taking into consideration the work-related stress and mental health problems of the employees the project Stressless Employees is aimed to develop a profile and competences of an Employee Satisfaction Officer (ESO), that will lead the well-being activities in every company and communities of employees, in order to improve the well - being of the employees, that will exponentially improve their performance and the performance of the companies and the NGOs. Participants: Employees from 2 SMEs (Human Resources Department/ Management) and 2 NGOs(Head of Sectors) (the project consortium) per pilot country (Germany Italy, Greece, Spain, Romania, Cyprus), that will take part in the pilot training courses, and project activities. Activities: IO 1 The project will start with a report analyzing the landscape and situation in the partner's countries, that will provide up to date information, best practices, car studies of entities that have already applied some for of employee well - being activities and roles. Additionally, companies, employees, NGOs and workers unions will take part in empirical research to share their views on the subject matter. IO 2 & IO 3 The data gathered by the desktop and field research will lay the foundation for the development of a training format and curriculum for Employees Satisfaction Officer (ESO), aiming to develop an EU level recognized profession that will be finalized in one comprehensive manual for improving the well - being of employees and combating work-related stress (IO4).Methodology: This project will be conducted through a three-step approach. 1) RESEARCH: Analysis of the landscape together with mapping existing practices, case studies, and empirical data from stakeholders will define the basics of the training format course ( a program that needs to be undertaken by persons that will act as ESO in the companies) and curriculum (basic competence ) profile together with a cost-benefit analysis of the introduction of ESO in the companies. 2) TESTING/ PILOTING: The training course will be tested in the partner countries in the entities that will take part, where the role Employer Satisfaction Officer will be introduced, close monitoring will take place in order to evaluate the impact and results of the piloting. 3) CERTIFICATION and DISSEMINATION: The third approach is to create a certified program for ESO that will be recognized on the European level and available for all entities. Results and Impact: The overall project result shall be the development and introduction of a new job role Employer Satisfaction Officer from companies and societal point of view. As for the companies and NGOs, healthy employees with a lack of stress will improve their productivity and the general performance of the entities. From the point of view of society, healthy employers will less stress will means, less depression, domestic violence, sickness or unemployment. From the societal perspective, the proportion of economically unproductive to productive times during a person’s lifetime is improved by reducing times of sickness, unemployment. The impact of the project will be manifested in three ways- Implementation of employees well-being policies - Better mental health amount the citizens and reduced sickness - Increase productivity and better economic results."

Challenges in achieving education for all in Europe are still present, namely: unpredictable demand for future skills, large disparities in access to education, the need to train adult educators in transversal curricular approaches to provide more life-context and authentic learning opportunities to sustain the transition to employment, the need for skills to integrate digital devices in instruction, lack of a common and coherent methodological approach in guidance and counselling services in order to be effective across all educational levels. These challenges have a high impact, particularly on low-skilled and low-qualified adults who lack the resilience, learning strategies or engagement to learn on their own.Currently, there are training, counselling or coaching e-platforms strictly dedicated to one area. Targeting a holistic approach, the project identified the needs of staff who support adult learners to have at hand, integrated into one, all necessary means to assist the low-skilled and low-qualified adults all through the way on their upskilling path to increase their competitiveness and adaptability in the labor market. In this respect, the project’s overall goal is to empower these professionals with an integrated and innovative iPath2UpSkilling Platform and Programme together with the specific skills required for using it in order to assure high quality upskilling pathways for the low-skilled and low-qualified adults. During 30 months, the project aims to:(1)develop the iPath2UpSkilling Platform (O1).(2)develop the iPath2UpSkilling Programme as an approach to Upskilling Pathways for low-skilled and low-qualified adults (O2).(3)empower 25 educators, trainers and other personnel who support adult learners with the necessary skills to use the iPath2UpSkilling Platform & Programme (C1 and C2).(4)expand at least 50 partnerships with Training Providers, Competence Assessment Centers & Second Chance Schools for Adults (O3)(5)raise public awareness on the project's results to 1000 persons.The main feature of this innovative iPath2UpSkilling Platform (O1) is the development of tailor-made itineraries as a part of the iPath2UpSkilling Programme (O2). The Programme assists the adult educators to firstly do profiling activities so that later to set up the most convenient training itinerary and a personalized pathway with activities that complement the capacities and resources made available to the adult trainee. The professionals will use the iPath2UpSkilling Platform and its resources in their daily work with the low-skilled and low-qualified adults to grant access to upskilling pathways in a flexible and an individual manner, ensuring at the same time both online and in-person instruction. Online instruction will be given through online trainings and other Open Educational Resources existing on the Platform's Library (O3). The in-person instruction will be ensured through online video guidance and coaching services and through the pointing out and giving a direction on the interactive online map towards specific Training Providers, Competence Assessment Centers and Second Chance Schools for Adults. Also, in the context of working with the low-skilled and low-qualified adults coming from schools with curricula centered only on reading, writing, math, science, history and foreign languages, the adult educators and trainers have identified from practice other two primary training needs area in any roadmap to upskilling: transversal key competencies and other competencies not taught in schools. If this training needs are covered, the low-skilled and low-qualified adults can successfully upgrade qualification. The project connects 4 online trainings on transversal competencies and other competencies not taught in schools (O3) with the certified qualifications awarded by Training Providers, Competence Assessment Centers and Second Chance Schools for Adults from the participating countries (UK, AU, CY, RO, TR) through an interactive online map. This approach grants a successful tailored Upskilling Pathway for those in need and valuable resources and working tools for adult educators and trainers.The web-based iPath2UpSkilling Platform is also freely available to all, becoming a virtual space where the adult educators can create networks, collaborations, exchange best practices, anticipate skills’ changes, participate in common actions and be visible up to the European level. The platform will be used to support trainers to easily build and host online courses even after the end of the project. Due to the fact that they will be empowered with online tools (O3), 3 Handbooks (IO2), 1 Mentorship Manual (IO2) and skills to create and develop new online trainings and Open Educational Resources as result of two trainings attended in the project (C1 and C2 activities), the Platform will develop by itself in time, assuring its durability and transferability beyond the project’ or partners’ border.

In our days, youths' integration into the labour market carries great challenges to member states, since young people aged 15-24 have been one of the greatest victims by the economic crisis in regard to their employment prospects.The situation is even worse for young women at that age range, with the percentage of unemployment reaching the 16,2%, according to the 2017 Eurostat statistics. If we take a closer look at the statistics of 2017 regarding the partner countries of theproject, we will disappointingly realise that unemployed young women in Greece reach the percentage of 48,2%, meaning that about 1 every 2 women is unemployed, in Italy 37,2 %, meaning that about 1 every 3 young women is unemployed, in Cyprus 22,9%, meaning that about 1 every 4 of women is unemployed, in Romania 18,6%, meaning that about 1 every 5 women is unemployed and in Poland 15% with 1 every 6 women between 15-24 years old being unemployed (Eurostat, 2017). We all have to realise that young women are a fundamental asset for European economies and societies. Therefore, empowering young women, by creating the proper conditions to actively participate in the labour market, is considered imperative for the economic and social development and for the sustainability of European societies. This partnership among the 5 organisations, aims to promote actions and exchange of good practices in the area of digital technology, in order to facilitate young women's professional integration into the labor market. The project will support, on the one hand, professionals working with young women to improve their digital skills and strengthen digital education initiatives aimed at them (especially the young women that belong to disadvantaged groups, refugees, migrants), in order to train them in the professional use of digital technology to foster their employability and socio-educational and personal development and facilitate their professional and social integration. On the other hand, it will give young women the opportunity to improve their digital basic skills and key competences through learning experiences and learning environments, to increase their opportunities of being smoothly integrated in the labor market. The purpose of the project is an international synergy between 5 European organisations with the same need - TO DEVELOP THE DIGITAL SKILLS AND COMPETENCES OF YOUNG WOMEN TO INCREASE THEIR OPPORTUNITIES OF INTEGRATION INTO THE LABOR MARKET. Having as target groups youth workers, trainers, ICT and digital technology experts involved in youth education belonging to partner groups, as well as low-digital skilled women and young women belonging to disadvantaged groups (i.e. women living in remote areas, refugees, migrants), we propose a project having the following objectives:1.To increase the professional development in digital skills and competences of each partner by means of 4 Short-term joint staff training events,2.To strengthen the networking among partners by developing a website named YoungWomen@Work, including best practices in digital skill acquisition, discussion forums, flipped classroom, flashnotes, screen capture videos of tutors giving online tutorials, ebooks, etc,3.To launch an awareness-raising campaign - YOUNG WOMEN@WORK. The objectives will be achieved through:*4 Short-term joint staff training events during which the target groups will learn 4 MODULES in the form of workshops:1.DigitalLiteracy – Women Catching Up, 2.Netiquette & Dangers of the Web, 3.Digital Business Skills,4.Online Marketing Strategies, *YoungWomen@Work website as digital network among partner organisations, which will spread knowledge and training to the young women through asynchronous methods (forums,lecture materials, etc),*The awareness raising campaign, YOUNGWOMEN@WORK,where our target groups will interact with the public and get our project's message for the need for digital skill development out to people and pressurise decision-makers,*4 short training events for young women, according to the model of the 4 Short-term joint staff training. The transnational character of the project helps all partners in their professional development in teaching digital skills,to compare approaches offered by the 5 partner countries on digital skill development, to become more systematic in their work with youth,more visible at national and international level and more familiar with European tools to implement a project.
