CTV – Complex Toolbox for Volunteers on preparing and running international projects

Implementation period: 01.10.2019 – 30.04.2022
Assistance program: ERASMUS+
Project number: 2019-1-IT02-KA204-063430

Project description:

The project focuses on empowerment of low-skilled adult learners, volunteers engaged in activities in voluntary organisations, which are understood as all those non-profit organisations that engage volunteers and provide voluntary services of any kind.
As result of the project low-skilled adult volunteers will upgrade their competences in preparing and managing European projects, enhance their digital skills, intercultural competence and sense of initiative and entrepreneurship. Voluntary organisations will be able to strengthen their position in the region, gain new sources of funding, run more effective operations and establish new, international networks.

Objectives:

  • to improve and extend the supply of high quality learning opportunities tailored to the needs of volunteers;
  • increase inter-regional and transnational cooperation and develop and reinforce European networks especially of those voluntary organisations that are not part of EVS/ESC;
  • increase the capacity of voluntary organisations to operate transnationally;
  • develop digital learning materials and tools in particular OER and support the effective use of digital technologies in education and training.

Target groups:

Low-skilled adults who work as volunteers of those voluntary organisations that are not part of EVS, that operate in small communities, work on local and regional levels and are not aware of possibilities that EU funded projects could bring them.

Project outputs:

  • OER for adult volunteers including practical Toolbox on various aspects of cooperation within EU projects;
  • Interactive e-catalogue of good practices.

Gen-Z: Developing competences and opportunities for social media entrepreneurship

Gen-Z: Developing competences and opportunities for social media entrepreneurship

Implementation period: 01.09.2019 – 31.08.2021
Assistance program: ERASMUS+
Project number: 2019-1-UK01-KA202-061407

Project description:

Gen-Z project aims to join efforts for empowering this generation to become social media entrepreneurs and at the same time developing their key competences and employability skills. A further by-product of this project will be to enable linkages where Gen-Z beneficiaries will be able to support other businesses with their own capacity to use social media to improve their businesses.
A key aspect to achieve this is to ensure that we also equip VET professionals so that they have the confidence and acquire the necessary know-how to teach social media business to VET learners Gen-Z.

In the course of the project, the project partners will develop four intellectual outputs:

  1. Social media entrepreneurs profiles.
  2. Training curriculum on social media businesses.
  3. In-service training.
  4. Gen-Z hub.

We believe that by making the project’s outputs digital, open and freely available to all, the resulting learning, skills and outcomes to be deployed is massive, not only in partners’ countries but also across Europe and generate longer term benefits for other generation z youngsters, educators and educational providers.

EAST – Entrepreneurship as Self-employment tool. Skills and qualifications within ECVET

EAST – Entrepreneurship as Self-employment tool. Skills and qualifications within ECVET

Implementation period: 01.10.2019 – 30.09.2021
Assistance program: ERASMUS+
Project number: 2019-1-RO01-KA204-063042

Project description:

The main objective of EAST project is to develop a training itinerary for entrepreneurship / small businesses management following ECVET recommendations and thus applicable in different countries. The EAST qualification will describe the units and learning outcomes corresponding to the entrepreneur profile, and determine the required knowledge, skills and competences to become an entrepreneur. It will allow flexibility in the training pathway thanks to assessment solutions and a modular structure. It will be summarised in a Europass Certificate Supplement to make it easily understood over Europe.

The objectives of the EAST project are the following:

  • Promote high quality entrepreneurship and self-employment over Europe,
  • Define a profile of entrepreneur with associated knowledge, skills and competences,
  • Develop a proposal for the application of ECVET system to non-formal and informal entrepreneurial education, with the definition of a Europass and learning pathway that fits to the learning outcomes system,
  • Set up recommendations for the application of ECVET in continuous learning in partners’ countries,
  • Establish and promote methods of e-learning and app-learning, as well as the use of OER thanks to an online platform,
  • Promote mobility in adult learning and contribute to the European Area of Skills and Qualifications.

Target group:

The main target groups are unemployed people, women and men, including migrants and people at risk of social exclusion, that are seeking for new opportunities in the changing labour market of the post-crisis era. They lack preparation to reach an entrepreneurial profile, and are lost among a large offer of training without clear awareness of their training needs and possible pathways. No age limit is applicable; however, EAST expects to target people aged 30-49 with a medium or long work experience, which consists of the largest block of active population potentially interested in self-employment.

In the course of the project, the project partners will develop two intellectual outputs:

  1. Enchiridion 4.0 for Non-IT subjects teachers
  2. 0 Lesson scenario video set

Teacher 4.0 demonstrates significant innovation, if compared to the previous projects, as it is designed for the new target group, non-IT subjects teachers, developing an innovative training course and guidance in terms of awareness and the ability to use Industry 4.0 possibilities in teaching.
