Objectives

The IMEDIAL project aims to increase the MEDIA literacy skills of adults to combat misinformation, false news and cyber aggression.

Project objectives are:

• Expanding and developing the skills and competencies of media education of adult educators in the effective teaching of these skills (especially those working with disadvantaged students);
• Increasing the media literacy skills of adult learners (especially disadvantaged).

Target groups:

• Adult educators especially those that work in non-formal education settings, adult education centres, social centres, NGOs, associations and freelancers working with disadvantaged learners;
• Learners from disadvantaged groups, including persons with low skills and with lower level qualifications, with low income, from remote areas; unemployed, women, immigrants.

Intellectual Outputs:

IO1 – IMEDIAL workbook

The workbook will include methodology ,materials ,examples, exercises, tests revealing the techniques used by media creators and helping the educators to achieve the goal of the trainings – to let participants enter the world of reading and understanding various information communicated by different media.

IO2 – IMEDIAL cards

The cards will be physical cards containing concrete activities/exercises – instructions for educator. The cards will be a set of activities where each of them will be visualized on a physical card containing the following elements: Name of the activity, Description, Tips, Duration, Materials needed to implement the activity . The cards will also have the category depicted and colour associated with that category (different for each category). There will be 5 categories: ice-breakers, written text analysis, visual content analysis, multimedia content analysis, reflections.

IO3 – IMEDIAL mobile APP

The mobile APP will be a mobile application that will serve as a useful tool for adult educators and participants of their workshops by providing means to deliver the IMEDIAL cards to both groups.

The APP will therefore contain 2 types of cards:

• cards for educators – digital version of cards,
• cards for learners – with materials/resources (pictures, texts, video, etc.) to be used during workshops.

Having the IMEDIAL mobile APP will enable adult educators to deliver workshops in a modern way.

Project description:

The responsibility over this lies on the entrepreneurs themselves, which in most cases is the result of their unawareness on how to tackle the problem. The question is how to foster symbiosis and cooperation between municipalities and entrepreneurs to include their waste into those closed streams represented by the circular economy. Thus, circular economy has become a topic that cannot be ignored, but has been dictated. The circular economy will boost the European Union competitiveness by protecting businesses against scarcity of resources and volatile prices, helping to create new business opportunities and innovative, more efficient ways of producing and consuming (EU Action Plan for the Circular Economy).
Main target groups:

• start-uppers, young entrepreneurs, VET trainers

Project outputs:

O1: SEEDS m-learning solution for startuppers – The SEEDS m-learning solution for startuppers will be a mobile-based environment delivering courses on Circular Economy with specific focus on startuppers. Thanks to this, it will enable startuppers to develop their vocational skills in the area of sustainable growth. The sustainable growth is a crucial factor in today’s entrepreneurship reality. This Intellectual Output links with the following objectives:

• enabling startuppers as well as VET providers to organise and deliver learning on the impact of Circular Economy related aspects to nowadays entrepreneurship,
• supporting the transition of startuppers from being young entrepreneurs to more self-aware participants fluent in the complexity of Circular Economy related aspects.

The 6 topics selected to be implemented within this Intellectual Output are as follows:

• Use waste as a resource,
• The reuse of water (agriculture, industry, etc.) from wastewater treatment plants,
• Design for the future,
• Rethink the business model for sustainable development,
• Incorporate digital technology for sustainable development,
• Effective and sustainable product labeling.

O2: SEEDS Recognition and validation OER – This Intellectual Output is expected to work in the area of recognition and validation of competences acquired through the participation in non-formal training courses on Circular Economy related aspects and their implementation in day to day activities of startuppers. The focus of this IO will be linked to the competences “A sense of initiative and responsible entrepreneurship” through:

• developing such competences among startuppers,
• creating opportunities for validating these competences.
• SEEDS Recognition and validation test

The SEEDS Recognition and validation OER will be available for all startuppers, VET providers and other relevant institutions without any restrictions in six languages of the SEEDS partnership. There will be two main parts of this IO as demonstrated below.
