"""SE-MOVEH: Social inclusion and EMployment Opportunities through the Valorization of European cultural Heritage"" is a 24 months project, involving 4 different organizations coming from Italy, France, Malta and Romania, working in different but interconnectable sectors: education of disadvantaged young adults, ICTs, Environment, EU Participatory Democracy, integration of migrants, Cultural Heritage, Public Services, Social Entrepreneurship. The cross-sectorial aspect of the project represent its strength: partner organizations with different backgrounds and specifities, but with a common objective.2018 was European Year of Cultural Heritage and it is a priority to valorize it. This Strategic Partnership intends to do so, by supporting Social Inclusion and Entrepreneurship of disadvantaged young adults.After sharing best practices, thanks to the study visits in the different Institutions, the project partners will co-design a unique Training model for entrepreneurship through the valorization of the European Cultural Heritage, which, after being tested at local communities level, will be released as an E-book. This output will be the main result of the Strategic Partnership and it will be freely available in the online young and adult education resource platforms EPALE and SALTO, on the project's blog and on Social Media Platforms, so as to be used from any other organization and adapted to the specific contexts.Thanks to the implementation of 3 International meetings (Preparatory, Intermediary and Dissemination) + 4 Learning/Trainings activities + 4 local educational activities, about 32 participants (Staff members, educators and trainers) will increase their skills and competences and at least 30 young adult learners (disadvantaged, unemployed citizens and migrants) per Country will partecipate in the community experimentation of the new methodology.SE-MOVEH will have an long term impact on:- the ORGANIZATIONS - Exchange of best practices in Adult Education from different fields and contexts: cultural, entrepreneurial, social, digital, public services and cultural policies- the STAFF MEMBERS - learning from each other about how supporting the young adult learners in their learning process, for increasing their opportunities in entering the job market as main actors- the YOUNG ADULTS LEARNERS - acquisition of skills and competencies in the field of entrepreneurship, through the valorization of the Cultural Heritage- the LOCAL COMMUNITIES - valorization of the Cultural Heritage through new and fresh entrepreneurial initiatives started by disadvantaged young adults."

“Tell your story: self-expression as approach in media literacy” was Erasmus+ Strategic Partnerships project for five partners from Poland, Malta, Estonia, France and Italy. The aims of the project were to develop during 22 months initiatives addressing spheres of adult education and exchanges of experience and best practices in storytelling. By this partners contributed to the objectives of the Erasmus+ Programme and enhanced the professional development of educators working in the field of adult education. For the purpose to fulfilling these objectives, the project team sustained the creation of flexible learning pathways in line with learners' needs. Partners also reinforced network, increased capacity to operate at transnational level, shared ideas, best practices and methods. Project coordinator was Fundacja CREATOR from Poland. General objectives were the promotion of adult education and cooperation between partners, better recognition of non-formal education. The specific objectives supported exchanges of practices, improvement of the level of competences and skills of educators and adult learners. Project participants acquired various abilities applicable to a wide variety of issues. They were exposed to technology tools that were embedded in purposeful learning, allowing them to transfer knowledge from one tool to another. Adult educators improved their competences in planing and running own workshops in storytelling. Project supported cooperation between organisations working in the field of adult education. This Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership project aims were: - to collect existing best practices in Europe and in the world in storytelling; - to test and edit existing and new tools in adult education during project training courses and workshops; - to multiply education tools during the local activities in partners countries; - to train on local level adult learners, to give them opportunity to be heard, attractive and more visible in local community and on labour market. The storytelling approach in education for adults was targeted through non-formal learning methods, learning by doing, which aim at enhancing experiences and competences of staff members of partners organisations, adult learners and other stakeholders. More than 100 staff members and adult learners from partners countries were directly involved in the project and more than 1000 indirectly during dissemination activities. Four international meetings in Poland, France, Estonia and Italy and one training course in Malta in combination with local activities were complementary for exchange of best practices and learning from each other. Project fostered intercultural dialogue and mutual understanding and particularly during dissemination activities when partners organised project presentations and video CVs and stories they created during the project. Partners disseminated at the highest possible level the knowledge acquired from this project in their organisations and countries, on regional, European and international levels. One of the main results of this project were intangible. The knowledge, skills, attitudes were measured by self-assessment mechanisms, interviews and questionnaires. Self-assessment forms were used before and after the trainings on international and local levels for staff members and adult learners. They helped to evaluate achievements and generated recommendations for future improvements of project activities. This information was shared with all partners. Questionnaires were used to evaluate project activities and the whole project. Impact on the target groups were seen on new competences which they gained after the implemented project activities by using a specific methodology of storytelling. Project results can be used and exploited in the longer-term, especially resources in adult education and storytelling, that are available in the Internet. Because they are e-products, they will be constantly added with new materials from project partner organisations and also from other institutions. Project was sustainable also because of strong network: partners together with few other organisations plan to apply with new Erasmus+ project in 2020.

We are living the greatest human mobility era in history. EU demography & inequality reports show that ‘Population with a foreign background will continue to grow’ in EU & that ‘Migrants tend to be at higher risk of poverty’. Migration is recognized as a key feature of our contemporary world as it provides many opportunities to societies and to migrants themselves. However, it is still one of the least understood phenomenon, leading to an increase of critical political and policy challenges in matters such as safe migration, border management, displacement and integration.Humans have used arts to express/communicate for centuries. It shaped their culture, nationality and identity. Arts have been a major catalyst for change in society around the world and it’s a method known for the very good results/feedback it provides by stimulating self-reflection, development of oneself and also by overcoming xenophobia, prejudices and stereotypes.ARTS FOR SOCIAL INCLUSION , EQUALITY & DIVERSITY will use digital storytelling , digital photography - media , music and drama ; the four creative disciplines that the project proposes as powerful tools in youth practice.Beneficiaries of the project are going to be young people with disadvantaged backgrounds and fewer opportunities : immigrants or refugees. With the competence development resulting from the project, the youth work professionals will be able to provide to young people with fewer opportunities (a) a direct route to reach their full potential (b) solutions to many of the barriers to social inclusion.The project brings together 5 organisations that believe arts and creativity is the best way to:-promote Intercultural dialogue which preserves our cultural heritage and promotes cultural diversity connecting people with different backgrounds, interests and perspective-involve migrants by increasing participation in cultural & societal life. Artistic and cultural expressions helps us to communicate with each other and allow us to understand our similarities as well our differences, in an area where we must also resolve disputes.Results:-A WEBSITE where the objectives of the project, the outcomes (downloadable), activities , videos/photos , LTT will be uploaded . All will be free of license. Our project will share, confront, test innovative practices through new forms of learning, providing training, notably the strategic use of open & flexible learning, open educational resources(OER) &better exploitation of the ICT potential-ART FOR SOCIAL INCLUSION , EQUALITY & DIVERSITY BOOKLET for youth workers in which the methods used during the project lifecycle will be shared. To guarantee a good knowledge of tools & strategies, we will complete the training contents through the provision of more content of the course.Project activities will enable project participants to provide an EU perspective on the problems and challenges faced in working with migrant and refugee populations. It will also promote the sharing of best practice between partners and practitioners creating enhanced awareness that can be implemented and replicated in the design of future workshops and initiatives in the creative arts: photography, storytelling, drama , music & creative thinking.Through the arts, we will foster intercultural dialog and reinforce awareness and acceptance of diversity within society, create resilient structures of empowerment and participation, turn challenges into strengths and opportunities; give voice to young migrants who are among the most disadvantaged in our society. Simultaneously, the project will have a high profile in both communities of interest and geographical location, resulting in a greater awareness and acceptance of young migrants, and will further promote their integration by, for example, the reduction of fear and prejudice.Thanks to the common language of the arts, we will encourage the integration and empowerment of young migrants / refugees in partner countries. Migrants and refugees will be able to make their voices heard through the project, engage in society and take part in decision-making, as well as learn soft-and entrepreneurship skills. To have a voice is to have self-confidence, self-esteem and the freedom to openly cultivate and share one 's interest in the public sphere. The public sphere is the space of solidarity, the space of power relations, where various voices can compete to validate their views and interests.We believe that this project will be one step in the development of a network of organisations, activists, young people, volunteers, citizens and migrants involved and that will make an effort to create resilient and intercultural communities. They will increase their awareness of the shared European values, as well as their recognition of the roots and acceptability of the diversity that also exists within Europe.

"The most important characteristic of a human being in a rich interactive situation is tolerance of difference. How to live with differences is a question that has always interested people and the educational world.

(Declaration on promoting citizenship and the common values of freedom, tolerance, and non-discrimination through education – Paris, March 2015).The Partnership "" MORE EDUCATION FOR TOLERANT EUROPE"" - METE is made up of 5 partners from PL, MT, IT, PT, CY and aims at countering influences that lead to fear and exclusion of others and should help adult people to develop capacities for independent judgment, critical thinking, and ethical reasoning. The diversity of our world's many religions, languages, cultures, and ethnicities is not a pretext for conflict but is a treasure to discover.This project is designed to support the adult educators to improve tolerance culture and diversity respect in their learner's groups.The training approach is based on different educational method Advocay, Debate and No Hate Speach to upgrade adult educators competences in teaching adults improving their abilities to participate effectively and constructively in one’s social and working life especially in increasingly diverse societies.Specific objectives are: to improve and enrich teaching tools in adult education for trainers and staff working with adults, to promote voluntary activities for an inclusive citizenship build starting by the intercultural approach.The results of this project will generate and disseminate positive messages, aimed at achieving compatible coexistence respectful of one another European citizens ( including ethnic and linguistic minorities) and the ""newcomers"" (refugees, migrants ).This project will address to adult educators, staff and providers to update their skills and competencies in education for equity, diversity, and inclusion to change mindset and attitudes of European citizens.To reach the project objectives partners' institutions will search for innovative teaching methods that will be tested in this specific context. Those methods will be gathered in the project "" METE"" training e-book available online, ready to implement and use by adults training centers and schools across Europe.The intangible expected results will be: -best practices analysis and selection, -staff and trainers /facilitators/educators - exchanging experience and sharing their knowledge on the new methods; they will work together to prepare the methodological tool and they will also conduct pilot training sessions in their institutions,- learners actively involved in all stage of the project, -greater cultural awareness - first of all the training sessions will be focused on cultural differences,-attitude to be more open with people having a different cultural background.The expected tangible results acquired during the project duration will include:•Project’s logo elaboration•Presentation of best practices about education to tolerance in each partners country•E-book for educators containing a set of innovative methods to teach/learn tolerance design test and dissemination•Promotional material materials (leaflet, posters, etc. ) design and dissemination•Project's Facebook page implementation•MANIFESTO to prevent and combat Hate Speech creationThe project will reach relevant stakeholders of local communities representative: non-profit organizations, involved in migrants crisis management, local Municipalities, citizens associations, informal groups of seniors actively in helping vulnerable groups, associations representing the ethnic and linguistic minorities living in Europe. The impact:- improvement of the level of key competences and skills towards communication and cross-cultural misunderstanding,- introduction new curriculum to make adult learning more attractive, effective for sustainable community development, efficient for social integration,- acquiring knowledge and know-how that will make to be more tolerant to different cultures, religion, This project and its outcomes are sustainable because this is part of our daily life and the work we are committed to, will continue further beyond the date end of this project. As the project theme matches with the hot topic in Europe, we expect that it will attract more support from local/regional and national authorities, which will contribute to sustainability of the project. The enhanced awareness of tolerance for especially young people within the partner communities will ensure the involvement of more people in the project and will further contribute to the project's sustainability."
