Project description:

The idea of the project had been related to the announced by the European Commission statistics date relating to unemployment among young people in the EU.
Unemployment among youths has been a top priority for UE countries. One of the reasons why this phenomenon occurs is the lack of entrepreneurial attitudes of young people.
The aim of the project was to develop and implement in 6 countries (Poland, Lithuania, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Bulgaria), an innovative method called ForProve. It contributed to reduce unemployment among young people. This method combines the two theoretical models: Improve Theatre and Forum Theatre. The main aim of the project was to equip young people with entrepreneurship skills by the innovative method.
The attractiveness of theatre art had to be developed for creating and strengthening the skills of young people which they need in order to be successful in the business world. The new method has been based on good practices in Forum Theater and Improve Theater. It is an innovative non formal education method for stimulation of the entrepreneurship, leadership and transversal skills, definitely contributing to success on the labour market in the partner countries.

Implementation period: 01.08.2012 – 31.07.2014
Assistance program: Lifelong Learning Programme Grundtvig
Project number: 2012-1-IT2-GRU06-37670 4

Project description:

A large number of marginalised people are found across Europe. Due to lack of education, job opportunities and to some extent language training or ICT skills, they are at risk of social exclusion. The Taste Different project sought to promote active inclusion through something as simple as food.

It is universally accepted that food and the preparation of food is a key activity for human beings; the number of articles presented daily in the media, of published cook books and of the amount of money spend on our daily bread all point to this. Furthermore food has an ability to bring people together, to make us talk and share our cultural background and stories. To share a meal means more than simply eating together.

Taste Different sought to make use of this diversity through food in an effort to create a venue for marginalised adults living in Turkey, Poland and Denmark. A venue where marginalised men and women could met and through informal activities share cultural backgrounds, prepare and share dishes and in turn work towards a common recognition of the value found in diversity, together with developing language and ICT skills.

Project description:

Learning without borders: podcasting across the wider Europe

Following joint research into the new approaches to learning needed to support students who, for differing reasons, cannot access lifelong learning by full-time attendance at a local training centre, Leeds City College has worked with partners from Greece, Latvia, Poland and Romania.

The aims of the project were to:

  • Review the use of podcasting (audio/media broadcasting over the internet) to promote independently accessed learning for a wide range of target audiences disadvantaged in their access to learning, eg by disability, geographical location or working patterns;
  • Develop appropriate resources / standard protocols to meet the growing demand for a flexible approach to learning by a growing number of learners who need to fit working life into the framework of learning new skills;
  • Involve students from each partner organisation to meet the first two aims of the project and to develop their own employability skills – commitment, self-confidence, team working, use of own initiative – all in demand by employers across Europe.

The results of the project
PThe project was disseminated through the project blog and facebook; in addition, each country followed the Project Dissemination Action Plan to maximise national awareness of the project (copies of all supporting documentation in Report Annexes).

Created:

  • e-learning platform: www.actione-learn.eu/podcasting, created by Action Synergy (the Greek partner of the project) which hosted details of the assignments and tasks of the students as well as the project documentation,
  • blog for use by students: www.podcastingeurope.blogspot.com, was created with the use of the “blogger” platform,
  • Facebook page of the project:www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_213464445352430&ap=1, the project created a facebook page in order to maintain informal communication and contacts between its members,
