"The project TRANSITION wishes to create and innovate teaching materials aimed at three crucial components of the entrepreneurial ecosystem: potential startup founders, entrepreneurial trainers/coaches working in business support organizations(accelerators, incubators, development agencies) and current entrepreneurs. These three categories need to be up to date with innovative technology trends and Blockchain is probably the one tech revolution that most probably will change all the aspects of the business world forever.All three actors of the entrepreneurial ecosystem must take part in the digital evolution of processes (production, certification, payment, delivery, etc.) thus the adoption of Digital Ledger technologies and Blockchain among these categories will affect the system in three complementary ways: 1) Potential entrepreneurs will integrate a general and fundamental knowledge of entrepreneurship skills and competencies (Second Intellectual Output) while at the same time being acquainted with the new opportunities offered by this new technology to start a new business following this trend or integrating the technology into their own idea. 2) Current entrepreneurs will enlarge their opportunity horizon about what DLTs can do for their current business, improving the versatility and growth capability of the enterprise ecosystem.3) Entrepreneurial trainers and coaches will have new teaching material to better train their startups/young entrepreneurs, causing this improvement in knowledge to resonate not only on people already committed to starting a business but also toward the future generation of startup founders.The project will produce three outputs, namely:IO1 - Blockchain Knowledge SpaceIt will be a structured repository of useful ""knowledge items"" concerning Blockchain, both as a technology and as an application in the different business areas.Items will be divided by different parameters: type of item (i.e. article, academic paper, MOOC, etc.) language, difficulty level(Basic, intermediate, advanced. Difficulty level of each item will be assessed by the scientific committee) and any other parameter will be deemed useful by the consortium. The BKS will have a manual filter to select the most interesting items for the user by selecting one or more of the aforementioned parameters.O2 Entrepreneurial Starter SetThe Entrepreneurial Starter Set will be the foundation for the training course to align anyone interested in the fundamental competencies to develop when starting a business.This will be a general purpose part of the training material produced by this project, specially produced for potential entrepreneurs to make sure they can foster or refresh a very well defined skill set to survive when making their first step on the market. O3 The Blockchain Entrepreneur KitThe output will be the core activity of the scientific partners of TRANSITION who, along with the VET provider, will design and elaborate the training materials concerning Blockchain for startup coaches / Entrepreneurial trainers, current and new entrepreneurs. The teaching/training materials will give a different take on who is the main target of the teaching/training effort by training the trainers, empowering their ability to grow startups and help startup owners from the very beginning to the potential accession to markets. Current entrepreneurs, on the other hand, will be encouraged to learn how blockchain is used and how they could use it to improve or reshape completely their business model."

"The Covid Pandemic - 19 has affected all our certainties and our habits. The most affected by the overturning of the habits of life are young people who have to face new changes and new challenges but who have before them the possibility of creating a new way of life with new values ​​and ideals.We need to spread and cement the foundations for a new ground that can give birth to a new ""spring"", the spring of the European peoples.Solidarity, humanity and a sense of community are feelings that give us the measure of how to overcome the growth of the Covid Pandemic - 19.Great challenges await us, especially challenges that seek to revive the cultural sectors, perhaps among the most affected by the Covid 19 Pandemic.My Icon Your Icon is a research, selection and dissemination project of the historical and artistic heritage of the countries involved through the reinterpretation of Sacred Icons in a contemporary key. It is a project aimed at enhancing the skills and competences of young artists, creatives, designers, celebrating them within the places of our culture.My Icon Your Icon aims to activate the connections between young creatives, designers and artists and the European territory in a network of mutual exchanges.The project promotes and strengthens culture and creativity as a means of social inclusion, updates the skills of young creatives involved, improves opportunities for young people and youth employment.The characteristics of the group of participants are:- Young people between 18 and 30 years old- familiarity with digital technology- their identity has to do with self-expression, especially through visual and artistic elements, also disseminated on social networks.- global generation, but with a passion for the local- benefits from both a cultural and a more traditional offer and that present in the new formats, which provide for constant interaction and proactive involvement of users.The activities that will take place will focus on travel and the exchange of good practices:Each partner will have to select 3 participants in the project-artist / graphic designer / photographer / writer / story telling / copywriter ..For each mobility the partners must organize:- 1 day visit to the place of conservation of the sacred icon of the city- 1 day of bibliographic study of the Sacred Icon- 2 days of workshop / course where project participants will work on the interpretation of the Sacred Icon in a contemporary key- Widespread dissemination to actively raise awareness and promote examples of local, national and transnational good practices.Fundamental activities will be the organizational meetings between partners whose objective is both the organization of the activities and the measurement of the results achieved during the project.Further activities will be the online conferences, which each partner will organize before the transnational trip. Both the bodies involved and the young people selected to participate in the project will participate, cConceived as a training, experiential, relational and learning by doing laboratory, it develops a path based on complexity and on the dialogue between different disciplines, an intertwining between knowing how to do and knowing how to be. The idea is to promote laboratory activities, to express and enhance the skills and competences of young people and, at the same time, use them as tools for the exchange and transmission of know-how.The project aims to support and enhance creative abilities in the field of artistic and cultural production, encourage the exchange of know-how through moments of in-depth study and exchange of experiences and promote the channels of creativity and expressiveness favored by the young population.Through the involvement and full participation in the project activities, young people will have the opportunity to:- Learning new skills as a means of social inclusion, socialization and relationships;- Improve their knowledge on artistic / creative / communicative methods;- Support the promotion and dissemination of the artistic and cultural values ​​of the partner countries;- increase their skills in the creative-artistic field;- become aware of their abilities and their ""value"";- express their ideas and their artistic-creative skills;- share and transfer the acquired know-how to other peers;- strengthen the participation and the protagonism of young people; From the web portal of the project it is possible to book a guided tour of the partner countries participating in the project.The long-term benefits will be of employment value through the platform that you intend to design which will be:- managed by project participants and partner associations- highly performing and able to customize guided tours"

<< Background >>The project aims to streamline the activity of ABA therapists by developing digital innovative tools and improving training and therapy methods. The project has been developed as to corroborate the Erasmus + priorities with the projects objectives, activities and results. The process of thought to correlate and reach the program’s priorities was as it follows: Reaching the Horizontal priority of the program – Addressing digital transformation through development of digital readiness, resilience and capacity will be done by implementing the project’s activities, especially WP4 - Development of the Digital Management Platform and App. This will lead to the reach of project’s objectives M.O, SO.1, SO.3 and SO.4. (as detailed into the context section of the project proposal) and to the projects results (described into the outcomes and project results section). The development of the innovative digital tools will see to address the transformation of target group participants’ work and to reach beyond that – as a tangential result the implementation of this activates will facilitate and speed the therapy process of autistic children. Contributing to innovation in vocational education and training and improving quality assurance in vocational education and training – the consortium seeks to reach this priorities by implementing the project’s activities, especially WP3 Developing and/or improving new models of work for ABA therapists and the C1 training activity. By this it assures the reaching of the following objective the following objectives: M.O, SO.1, SO.2 and SO.4 (as detailed into the context section of the project proposal) and to the projects results (described into the outcomes and project results section).During the lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, autistic children couldn’t attend their therapy sessions which resulted in their regression. Children that were showing improvement by socializing with other children and speaking, came back to therapy to showing regression to the period prior to the treatment: lacking socializing skills and not communicating. When realizing the analysis for the project proposal the partners found out that there is no central recording of ASD cases in many EU Member State and there are very few epidemiological studies on ASD on which to make appropriated predictions. Statistical data regarding the situation of autistic children were found only for US, UK and Ireland, this being the reason for which the consortium finds it necessary to elaborate a study that will gather statistical data in partner countries.<< Objectives >>The Main Objective of the project (M.O) is streamlining the activity of ABA therapists by developing innovative tools. All activities of the project have been thought and developed as to assure the proper implementation of the project, the reaching of expected results and mostly taking into consideration the Erasmus+ Program objectives of the European Education Area and the Digital Education Action Plan 2021-2027 The secondary objectives (SO) of the project as they were established by the consortium are:SO.1 Streamlining the activity of ABA therapists by developing a Digital Management Platform and App. During the implementation of WP4 activities a management platform and app that ABA therapists will be able to use in their daily activity will be developed. Functionality and performance tests of the digital tools will be done during the implementation of C1 activity and WP4 - Development of the Digital Management Platform and App, A3 - Pilot Testing and Evaluation. The first presentation of the digital tools will be done during the implementation of the C1 activity by the 16 participants of the target group. At the end of C1 activity a feedback will be given by the participants by filling in a questionnaire. During the implementation of WP4/A3 the trial tests will be carried out by 24 participants from the target group (ABA therapists). The participants will create an account on the digital tools and use them for at least 4 weeks in their daily activity. At the end of the 4 weeks the participants will give feedback and propose improvements that need to be done. The leader of WP4 will implement the changes recommended by the target group (technical possibilities and functionality will be taken into consideration). Further details about reaching SO.1 will be given during the description of project activities and results. SO.2 Streamlining the activity of ABA therapists by developing new and/or improving models of work by combining classical methods with new ones and personal experience.
