Y-EUTH-PACT!

Impact Of Youth Work On European Local Communities

BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT:

Y-EUTH-PACT! Is an Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership project with the aim to increase the quality of youth work by bettering the capacity and competences of youth practitioners to assess the impact of youth work itself on local communities thanks to the creation of innovative tools and methodologies. By doing so, the project will also contribute to increasing the level of recognition of youth work as a social engine for a stronger and better European society.

ViRALS:

Virtual Immersive Arts Learning System

BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT:

Covid-19 has probably changed forever the way young people and youth workers come in contact and do online training activities. As 1 out of 4 young people in Europe are into cultural and creative projects, networking is a fundamental part of their creative process, work, experience making.

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.

Promoting a new Blockchain Technology-based digital learning pattern in VET to boost entrepreneurship, sustainable business creation and growth”BLOCK by BLOCK

BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT:

As it emerges from the European Digital Strategy:Shaping Europe’s Digital Future (EC-2020),“the EU wants to be a leader in blockchain technology, becoming an innovator in blockchain and a home to significant platforms, applications and companies”.

We can also see that in recent times and even more since the World Pandemic, Blockchain Technologies (BCT) and their use have grown to the point that the required digital skills and possible investment to incorporate such smart technologies onto different organizational systems,are now accessible, however still lacking the required minimum knowledge from organizations and individuals to navigate successfully the digital global economy,so that such businesses can also grow faster and in a more sustainable way.
