Digiplan:

Motivation and Time Management in Distance Learning

BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT:

DIGIPLAN is a 2 years Erasmus+ Cooperation partnerships in vocational education and training, with the main topic on focus on motivation and time management in Distance Learning. Students are (and will be for a long time) challenged by changing learning requirements – schools need to adapt to national health challenges, socioeconomic conditions etc. Now they have difficulties switching from rigid classroom conditions and external motivation to online learning, when sometimes no one is forcing them to learn effectively. And it’s difficult to predict which learning model will be in the next year, so we need an approach that is suitable for all: classroom, blended and home learning.

SENIOR4SUSTAINABILITY:

Seniors Active Participation in Environmental Programmes and Campaigns

BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT:

The ageing of population is a worldwide phenomenon with critical implications for all sectors of society. Due to low birth rates, high life expectancy and migration flow dynamics, worldwide population is “turning grey”, and Europe is not an exception. An ageing population brings social, health, economic, and other issues. Overall in the EU, the total public spending of ageing is expected to increase by 1.7% to 26.7% of GDP between 2016 and 2070. In all countries, measures to help older people remain active and participative are a necessity, not a luxury. The United Nations and the European Commission agree that quality ageing is a responsibility of all (private, public and civic actors), and can only be created and sustained through the participation of multiple sectors.

EU Values:

Strategic Partnership aimed at increasing youth awareness of common European values while participating in Erasmus + initiativesStrategic Partnership aimed at increasing youth awareness of common European values while participating in Erasmus + initiatives

BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT:

Young people and especially those with fewer opportunities have been strongly affected by different economic crises and recessions, the last one being due to COVID pandemic that considerably impacted their perspectives of future and created a general distrust toward policy makers. Indeed, it is undeniable that, since the Covid-19 pandemic, a big portion of citizens have a negative perception of the EU. This negative feeling is further triggered by the loss of jobs and lack of welfare measures to sustain our citizens during these hard times. This situation is negatively affecting our youth (our future) which is constantly undermined by fake news and negative messages from any sort of media.
