"Background / history of project:The development of the Greek insurance market requires the development of the Greek economy and, in a second phase, the insurance market can act as a multiplier of economic growth.In the new economic and social environment to be created in the country, the focus will shift from ""public"" to ""private"". In the area of risk management, individuals and businesses should treat the harmful potential with its own resources rather than rely on the state, to the extent that it did in the past.This is a trend that is beginning to prevail throughout the developed West. The new balance in risk management does not involve replacing the role of the state insurance markets. What happens is the creation of supplementary private insurance schemes, which operate alongside the public systems.The transition of the insurance market from the present state of underdevelopment in development requires the gradual creation of certain infrastructure, institutions and functions and the drastic improvement of operations of the same insurance market and retraining of personnel.Objectives of the project:The objective of this project is education / training of members / employees of our Association, in order to improve their expertise on topics of financial management in the field of insurance mediation in order to enable them to meet themselves and their businesses to new needs created.With the knowledge you gain will be able then to serve as mentors for other employees of the site.Number and profile of participants:Potential beneficiaries for the mobility are 20 people and all of them are employees of the Insurance Mediation sector who are members of our association.Description of activities:Participants will follow a comprehensive training program that is tailored to the educational needs and will include seminars, company visits and cultural visits.The activities will take place in Cyprus, mostly in Nicosia and in the facilities of INTERCOLLEGE College.Methodology used for the project:The completion of this project will contribute to improve the knowledge of participants on topics of financial management, and training methods will be followed for adult education with particular emphasis on the connection of theoretical knowledge with the existing insurance mediation market, in order to provide the best possible results.Brief description of the expected results and impact:The expected results are the education / training of employees to improve their expertise on topics of financial management, to expand their professional skills and to facilitate their personal development and their participation in both the domestic and European labor market.Possible long-term benefits:After completion of the project participants will have gained multiple benefits relating to the improvement of their skills in financial management.But mainly this action will have a multiplier effect and benefits for the participants, as it will create the framework for networking and future cooperation, and for stakeholders who will start a new cooperation in European programs.This gives added value to action because it creates an environment where apart from skills development and acquisition of new knowledge for the beneficiaries, while promoting a European environment partnerships.The host organization is INTERCOLLEGE (EDEX Ltd) college and is based in Cyprus (Nicosia).The choice of country was based on the fact that the Organisation Host who is engaged in the research, transfer of innovation and the development of European and international programs provide high quality training in this theme.The proposal has taken into account all the conditions set by the European Charter for Mobility."

"In this period, a time of economic crisis, it is a widely accepted belief that innovation is both an ""antidote"" for the business downturn of the market, but also an ""elixir"" that rejuvenates its development. In today's globalized and competitive environment, the planning and creation of new services and products is necessary for business survival. The repose of a company in existing products, services as successful as they are, sooner or later will lead to marginalization and stagnation. If the company is interested to remain competitive and profitable, it needs to present products and services best in quality, performance and be different from competitors. On this basis the Chamber of Evia got the spark for the design of the program with title ""IMPLEMENTATION OF TOOLS OF INNOVATION IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP"" which fills the need to improve the competitiveness of business, increase sales and new knowledge; monitoring trends in exports. The program will involve human resources managers of manufacturing units because in Evia the food processing businesses of the 1st processing of products are a dynamic sector with special products. However there is an urgent need for openness of companies and to change the intra- operational culture to differentiate products and services in order to alter their corporate profile and adapt in a globalized environment. Participants will learn how technological change and innovation can be put into practice by introducing new products, materials, processes, supply sources, services, technical processes and organizational forms. The action will have a multiplier effects:1. at the Entrepreneur level: it can generate profits and ensure the longevity of a company.2. at the enterprise level: innovation will impact on production, product quality, employment levels, and earnings.3. A general level: changes in technology have a significant effect on yield, growth rate of the economy and standard of living.Innovation as a competitive business advantage:1. Contributes to their adaptability to the changing business environment.2. Increase productivity & profitability.4. Increase the flexibility of the production process.5. Increase the quality of products / services.6. Contributes to increase customer satisfaction.7. Helps to maintain the increase in market share.8. Increase the opportunity for introduction into new markets.The project will give the participants the opportunity to learn the tools for implementing innovation. More specifically:1. In intra-business environment to learn how to apply financial tools to conduct market research, develop new differentiated products to market.2. the broader institutional system utilizing the networks that connect the enterprise with its environment: university laboratories, public institutes Research and Development Research and Development departments of other companies, technology transfer, information technology systems, funding bodies and finally, state fitness equipment policy.3. under partnerships. Favorable conditions are created for innovation by boosting company production founded by business groups, such as market research firms, information, marketing, export promotion. 4. In the context of the digital environment, new perspectives created by the Internet enhance innovative activity of enterprises. The project will contribute to the effort to modernize the manufacturing companies of agricultural products of the county, all educational adult education methods will be followed in order to achieve the best possible results. Host organizations EDEX in Cyprus και CESVITEC in Italy chosen for the implementation of the program have great experience in adult education and training in the subject. Also, the selection of countries is not random in which the manufacturing sector is highly developed. The total project duration is 12 days and will take place in Italy and Cyprus with the participation of 50 beneficiaries (25 per flow) respectively.Potential beneficiaries to the mobility are human resources managers and entrepreneurs of manufacturing agricultural products from member companies of the Chamber of Evia and operate in the prefecture."

The SUSTAIN project contributes to the challenges, cities and regions throughout Europe face by developing education innovation that surpasses school boundaries and rigid curricula. The project develops innovative, state-of-the-art learning practices to empower pupils and teachers to engage with real-life challenges: challenges that require them to think for themselves, step out of the classroom and connect to professional networks that serve sustainable development in their region. The project strives to: • Spark dialogues on sustainable landscapes between secondary schools, universities and other educational providers, to articulate a sense of urgency for regional sustainable development goals; • Champion the importance of regional bottom-up so-called STEM learning ecosystems to formal and informal education providers, identify key actors and set a shared regional science education agenda, • Deeply engage pupils and their caregivers in three countries with hands-on citizen science work, thus stimulating critical thinking and raising interest in STEM learning and work; • Equip school teachers with the skills to bring together formal and informal learning for citizen science, through a comprehensive professional development programme; • Commit to incremental growth in the excellence of the above initiatives and networks, and build capacity to improve science education through a tailored evaluation, monitoring and peer-learning programme; • Identify good online and offline practices on science education and/or citizen science and disseminate them at regional, national and international scales. Twelve partners, being four universities, six schools, one local stakeholder together with European Science Engagement networks, formed together the SUSTAIN consortium. This consortium actively built STEM learning ecosystems on sustainable landscapes, both at the European level as regionally in the three countries (Spain, Cyprus, and the Netherlands). These interdisciplinary ecosystems consist of secondary school teachers, scientists working in the field of sustainable landscapes, and providers of science education and communication. Geographically, the project has a pan-European perspective, with a regional focus on the Northern Netherlands, the region of Valencia, Spain and Cyprus. Together, the consortium developed three online modules that increase awareness of the urgency to contribute to the local environment. Each module focuses on a specific topic, such as biodiversity and food web structure, water management and bird migration. All modules are based on a regional challenge, such as decreasing meadow bird population (Netherlands), falling water levels (Spain) and illegal bird trapping for consumption (Cyprus). Included in the three online modules are materials on academic skills to foster critical thinking (as essential 21st century skills) by secondary school pupils, and webinars to support the teachers while running the modules. With these modules, pupils learn to analyse complex social relevant topics as sustainable landscapes, develop a critical attitude and form their own opinions. In addition, they met role models and learned to appreciate the role of science in society. Based on their experience, the consortium wrote a roadmap on setting up a STEM learning ecosystem on sustainable landscapes. The consortium, together with the NUCLEUS project and members of the EUSEA network, co-created an online platform that showcases a number of recommended formats of activities designed to encourage participatory science engagement, showing a range of possibilities and some practical examples, which can be implemented by teachers across Europe. The platform also offers an overview of valuable toolkits and good reads related to science communication and public engagement. This platform turns out to be a lively and active platform that will keep on developing - both with off- and online interactive formats.
