    Jobless and underemployment among youth are two of the most challenging economic and social problems that policymakers face in developing countries. One of the primary reasons of the young unemployment and failure to satisfy the expectations of the newly graduate professionals in the EuroMed scale where Tunisia takes places within is insufficient cross-cutting capabilities based on ICT such as e-leadership skills. This leads to failing to satisfy the capabilities of employment of qualified graduate and young workforce, in return.Wind of change through innovative actions believes that one of solutions for the current young unemployment passes through the development and training on the ICT based capabilities. Thanks to this project we intend to take part in helping our target groups offering training sessions for youth workers and young people within mobility activities.In this scope, 6 partners have been overseen these objectives;• To fits with the main goals of Erasmus+ Cooperation in terms of promoting the innovative experiences in the field youth• To strengthen the capacity of youth workers involved through training and the provision of e-tools suitable for 18-30 age range youth, completely based on non-formal education form•To increase the capacity of final target beneficiaries (youth) and their participation to the labor force by supporting open education resources.• To enable youth in e-leadership by identifying certain vocational and personal needs that help them to know their sufficiency and improve their capacities.• To learn using ICT based tools and methods for the purpose of job creation/employability.• To promote transnational mobility within non-formal education, especially aimed at youth with fewer opportunities to raise participants’ competency level and support their active participation

    A solid public health system constitutes a pillar of advanced societies, capable of providing their citizens with an enabling environment for development and smart and inclusive societies. All countries in Europe and beyond need to address increasingly global health challenges with the support of innovative approaches and skilled professionals. To do so, HEIs need to introduce programmes with a wide range of skills and disciplines, superseding fragmented or insufficient approaches. This situation of fragmented and insufficient approaches is particularly demanding in the South Mediterranean countries due, i.a., to its political and socio-economic climate. Competence-based education and multidisciplinary approaches are essential to prepare public health specialists for organising and managing actions able to improve the health conditions of the populations, reduce inequalities, strengthen the public health and health care systems and transfer innovation-related knowledge. Against this background, MED-HEALTH MED‐HEALTH has introduced a Master degree programme in Public Health Management in South Mediterranean HEIs in line with Bologna requirements and with a holistic and multidisciplinary approach. Complementary to the programme, a Public Health ePortal and a Regional Health Managament Network were set up as points of reference in the field and mechanisms to ensure sustainability of the project outcomes for the ultimate benefit of the region.The PCs targeted by MED-HEALTH (Palestine, Jordan and Tunisia) have significant rates of unemployment, more severely in women, structural weaknesses and lack of labour market efficiency. The region also shows a weak culture on meritocracy, with a clear need for continuous work in Higher Education for improving educational programmes. At the proposal stage, an overall lack of formal orientation to public health among workers, and in several cases, deficits in core public health skills were identified. A remarkably small number of public health workers have received a basic introduction to public health beyond their immediate job functions. Individuals with graduate public health degrees were rare and in high demand. In fact, public health studies at a Master degree level were fragmented or inexistent.Leadership and management skills were also absent in many local health departments. People were generally promoted from a clinical role to a managerial role without having necessarily the skills for the new role, nor managerial training or education of any sort. Although these skill deficits were not always identified in workforce surveys, they significantly impact the ability of public health agencies to provide effective services.In the light of the above, introducing study programmes with a range of skills and disciplines, including knowledge in strategic management, economics, negotiation and communication, helping target PCs improving the educational outcomes and the problem of skills mismatches and youth unemployment advised for a structured regional cooperation.Mutual recognition of qualifications and education systems, learning of foreign languages, and mobility of students, public health researchers and economic developers are some of the actions encouraged with the implemented activities.Thanks to the sustainability measures envisaged and implemented, it is expected that the new Master Programme and related resources will help improve in the next future the competitiveness of professionals in the PCs, contributing to better employment opportunities, closing gaps in the public health systems, improving societal perspectives and cooperation.

    Funder Contribution: 829,977 EUR

    Definition and establishment of a new Master Course on “Environmental Protection and Energy Efficient Buildings” in three TN, DZ and MO universities, with affiliation to other three universities. The main scope is the promotion of EU best practices in the terms of educational methodologies and specific knowledge related to the energy efficiency and sustainability of buildings. Two are the specific objectives:1. Curricular reform: to implement an effective curricular development oriented towards the labour market requirements; to support the employability expectations of the graduates by training them with up-to-date methodologies in the field of energy efficient buildings. The curricula reform will be promoted, officially recognized and actually implemented in the six involved Universities in different training directions according to the local needs, with official Master Courses implementation in 3 of each by developing a versatile training programme, flexible and adaptive to labour market requirements. These Courses will be implemented over the project lifecycle; the first academic year will be completed in the framework of the third project year. 2. Links university-enterprises: to develop a networking system among the PCs’ Universities and stakeholders, in order to remedy to the currently fragmented scientific background in Energy Efficiency and to the lack of distribution of knowledge, expertise, information and data. An “EU – South Mediterranean network among Green Institutions” will be officially established, to represent a tangible actual tool for enhancing the leading role of Higher Education Institutions in policies related to Energy Efficient Buildings.The project in general terms also will spread and promote the PCs' awareness related to the EU policies referred to Sustainable and Energy Efficient Buildings and to enhance the approach towards EU best practices, with specific reference to the « 20-20-20 targets, NZEB, etc.».
