LIGHT Press Release

LIGHT Press Release

In our latest press release, we reflect on the first year of the LIGHT project, an initiative dedicated to addressing unconscious bias and invisible racism in youth work. Coordinated by LICRA (France) alongside European partners from Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, and Poland, LIGHT has developed innovative tools and training resources to support youth professionals across Europe.

Key achievements include the creation of a pedagogical toolbox with learning resources that empower young people to recognize and deconstruct biases. Looking ahead, the project is set to launch a MOOC platform, a capacity-building program, and European events to further expand its impact.

Join us in fostering a more inclusive and bias-free future!

MYCo – Meet Your Colleague. Overcoming generational stereotypes through knowledge.

MYCo – Meet Your Colleague. Overcoming generational stereotypes through knowledge.

Implementation period: 01.11.2024 – 31.10.2026
Project number: 2024-1-IT02-KA220-ADU-000247623

Assistance program: Erasmus+

Project description

The MYCo project is in line with the European Union’s goals to increase employment and participation in training by 2030. Its mission is to promote the social and professional inclusion of people regardless of gender, origin, religion, age, disability or orientation.
In response to Europe’s aging population and the presence of multiple generations in the labor market, the project focuses on breaking down stereotypes about generations. By analyzing differences and similarities in areas such as communication, culture, attitudes toward work and technology, MYCo is creating tools for employers, HR managers and labor organizations.

The project will create a training game that will allow employees to interact with virtual versions of their colleagues, promoting mutual understanding and cooperation. MYCo’s main goal is to build healthy and inclusive workplaces, where differences become opportunities for growth and similarities become the basis for success.

Target group

  • Employees of all generations
  • Trade unions, labor organizations, trainers and training centers
  • Employers
  • HR managers

Project results

  • R1: Analysis of generational diversity in the workplace, developed from field research, identifying training needs.
  • R2: A handbook on generational inclusiveness and diversity
  • R3: Activities based on the participatory learning method, tailored to the needs of different generations and linked to the chapters of the handbook.
  • R4: A virtual environment in which users create avatars of their co-workers, selecting their characteristics according to the handbook’s themes to develop empathy and mutual understanding.
