Europe is facing with increasing number of migrants and refugees while the risk of radicalization, which mostly affects youth, is growing. Number of young, socially excluded, people are being drawn into extremist movements in their search for identity and a place in society. Therefore, the proposed action seeks to address issues of stigmatization of immigrants, especially youth, through promotion of democratic values, intercultural understanding and tolerance and activities aimed at prevention and combating of discriminatory practices. Carefully designed action activities will assess problems from different perspectives and will endorse the prevention measures targeting youth including them at the same in their creation. Cooperation and work toward mutual democratic values will pave the way for a long-term change. This will be achieved through advocacy, capacity building, knowledge and skills development program, and research activities. Advocacy activities will include information and raising awareness campaign on social and traditional media, organization of youth events and public debates. Knowledge and skills development program will enable and guide those working directly with young people to establish local programs for reducing risks of segregation and promoting social inclusion of vulnerable youth groups. The research will explore the complexities of radicalisation issue in eight participating countries. Direct beneficiaries of this project are:• 50 organizations and youth groups formal and non-formal, and 48 youth workers from different corners of Europe that will increase professional capacities to deal with and address issues of segregation and stigmatization of immigrants;• At least 2000 young people with different backgrounds who will participate in the follow-up activities (online cross national survey, public events, awareness campaign, documentary videos etc.);• Eight young journalists from participating countries who will receive mentoring and support for producing and publishing investigative journalistic stories on the action topics;• More than 50 diverse stakeholders and NGO community on national, regional and European level who will be gathered at the final conference and directly involved in an open debate with aim to propose further activities, actions and measures.

"CONTEXT The Europe 2020 Strategy has defined among others, one key priority that is to raise ""Europe’s employment rate – more and better jobs, especially for women, young people and older workers"" so to achieve a benchmark of "" 75% employment rate for women and men aged 20-64 by 2020– achieved by getting more people into work. One of the main obstacles to the full achievement of this ambitious objective is that there are high rates of low-skilled and low-qualified adults that competitive within the labor market. The demand for digital technology professionals has grown by 4% annually in the last ten years. Yet digital skills are lacking in Europe at all levels. Despite continued strong employment growth, the number of unfilled vacancies for ICT professionals is expected to almost double to 756000 by 2020. Furthermore, almost half the EU population lacks basic digital skills. Education and training should equip everyone with a broad range of skills which opens doors to personal fulfilment and development, social inclusion, active citizenshipand employment. Project partners work everyday with adult students in situation of vulnerability facing multiple barriers (such as social exclusion, poverty or discrimination) because of their lack of qualification to be incorporated in the labor market. Within this context the partners of this project have explored these issues and identify solutions to help ADULT students to be inserted in the labor market establishing effective links between adult schools and the world of work and entrepreneurship using social media and ICT. The project partners have identied 3 main NEEDS of the target groups: -Adult teachers and trainers need to acquire the skills to train their adult students on the aware use of ICT and Social Media to find job opportunities and develop their entrepreneurial spirit -Adult students need to scale up their key and tansversal comptences adapted to the digital era to be incoroporated in the labor market -To promote inclusion of adults paying particular attention to adult vulnerable groups with low skills and qualifications promoting equality between women and men, combating discrimination, promoting tolerance and a high-level of quality and sustainable employment, combating long-term unemployment and fighting against poverty and social exclusion. To answer to these 3 main needs the project AIM has been to promote the entrepreneurial spirit of adult learners using social media and ICT to create new e-enterprises ensuring increased opportunities for being incorporated in the labor market in an effective way. ACTIVITIES -""e-entrepreneurship"" training package. The training package contains a collection of video lessons on how to create the digital identity of enterprises - Testing of the training package by adult teachers, trainers in order to make them acquire the skills to exploit the full potential of ICT and social media for to create new e-enterprises ensuring increased opportunities for participation on a modern, flexible and inclusive labor market. -National training experience ""how to become an e-entrepreneur"". Adult students has been trained to promote their entrepreneurial spirit using social media and ICT to create new e-enterprises -International training experience on ""Adopt an enterprise experience"" exploiting social media and ICT. This activity with adult learners took place in Greece. During 5 days 5 adult learners selected for each partner attended this training activity. The participants selected by each partner have been made paying particular attention to adult vulnerable groups, promoting equality between women and men. -Enterprises have collaborated in the workshops in how to exploit social media and ICT for creating a new e-enterprise in Europe. Furthermore adult students have integrated formal, non-formal and informal education. -International Conference about ""International e-entrepreneurship"" in Italy at the end of the project with the participation of all the partnership, adult teachers, trainers and learners, public authorities in charge of adult education policies, trade unions, enterprises.. has promoted the project results and activities. PARTNERSHIP The project has involved 5 institutions of 5 different European countries. The partnership is composed by institutions with experience in adults training and in the development of innovative projects for adult students which have help to reach quality results. OUTCOMES -Training package created to reach the needs of the target groups. -Project website -Learning community -Teacher and students training -Insertion of the project results into the European adult systems -Entrepreneurship classroom -Final conference IMPACT People involved in the project. -100 adult Teachers -30 Enterprises -400 adult students half of them with fewer opportunities -Other stakeholders 1220"

Adult educational institutions in the field of European funding need to network with each other, exchange good practices, discuss new metholodogical approaches both in frontal teaching, e-learning and the use of ICT during the training they offer. Furthermore, they need to exchange information and to be able to deliver a better educational offer to their training participants. These are the needs the present partnership has identified and that will be a central point of the present project. In particular, training institutions need to innovate in their way they provide trainings and integrate e-learning and use of information and communication technologies.The objectives of the present strategic partnership are to create a European network between the participating organisations and beyond, to discuss good practices and innovations in the training each organisations offers with a specific focus on e-learning and to successfully prepare and enter the new funding period through a constant exchange of information and material. The participants will be trainers of the participating organisations (direct target group of the present project) and the adult learners of the trainings each organisation offer will be the final beneficiaries (2nd target group). These will strongly benefit from the knowledge acquired by the trainers-educators in new educational approaches and e-learning.We will have 5 project meetings (Kick-Off meeting and final conference in Brussels included), 1 joint term staff training event that will support the trainers implementing new learning and teaching approaches discussed during the project life cycle.Dissemination will be an ongoing activity of the project and will be done both online and offline at local, regional, national and European level. All project partner will be active in the sustainability of the project by incorporating the new training methodologies in their trainings and by being part of the network created within the project. Furthermore, we will deeply discuss and start new collaborations and new European funded projects in the educational field. The methodology of the project will be participatory, as all project partners will be requested to provide the same level of input (according to their specific working field and specialisation) related to the educational field. The constant flow and exchange of information will enrich the partnership, having positive results for the training participants (adult learners), who are the final beneficiaries of the present strategic partnership. Each trainer involved will also share his/her personal experience, knowledge and will particular recommendations related to training implmentations to the other trainers during the project activities.The results of the project will be the following: a handbook (of 20-30 pages) with particularities about the funding programmes of the new period 2021-2027, a mapping of organisations active in the field of education related to European funding with the connected creation of a European network of organisations working in the educational field related to EU funding and finally a common declaration from the partnership on expectations and wishes for the new funding period. As mentionned, exchange of information about trainings for adult learners in European funding between all the participating organisations will be an ongoing process during the project life cycle. The creation of a longstanding network between the participating organisations and beyond in particular through the involvement of the organisations present in the mapping created will ensure sustainability of the project and will let future collaborations and projects possible. The network will be managed and hosted in professional social media (Linkedin) and will ensure a constant exchange of information and collaborations through the organisations being part of it. Ressources will be put at disposal from the consortium also after project end to further manage it.For trainers and training participants as well as for the participating organisations there are very good potential longer term benefits as the trainers will gain skill in preparing, developing and implementing innovative trainings at local, national and European level. Furthermore, they will acquire better skills in the use of ICT and implementation of e-learning. This will have on the other side positive effect and longer term benefits for the final beneficiaries, the training participants (adult learners), as they will attend more relevant trainings at local, national and European level and will have better learning outcomes, bringing them better chance on the local, national and European labour market.

"E-CUL-TOURS: Managing Cultural Heritage in Tourism is a Strategic Partnership in Higher Education addressing issues present in Tourism Management master courses linked to Cultural Heritage, as this last is not perceivded as a real asset of tourism. This need has been recognized by different European stakeholders that stated in the public consultation ""European Tourism of the Future"" from the DG Enterprise and Industry, that ""the valorisation of cultural heritage sites"" is one of the opportunities to exploit to relaunch tourism and employability"". In 2012, one in ten enterprises in the European non-financial business economy belonged to the tourism industries. These 2.2 million enterprises employed an estimated 12.0 million persons. Enterprises in industries with tourism related activities accounted for 9.0 % of the persons employed in the whole non-financial business economy and 21.9 % of persons employed in the services sector. (Eurostat). Hence, Tourism and Cultural Heritage as an asset of it play a very important for the economy of the European Union. The objective of the present partnership is the development and pilot implementation of an innovative Tourism Module on Managing Cultural Heritage in Tourism (15 ECTS) on a Master level, that will be cross-sectorial and that will accrue skills of the users in the creation of case studies related to specific cultural heritage contexts. The present project has a cross-sectorial approach and is made of 1 SME, EUFRAK-EuroConsults Berlin GmbH (Germany), 4 universities, the Fachhoschule Stralsund (Germany), Dalarna University (Sweden), Aveiro University (Portugal), Bergamo University (Italy) and one association, the European Projects Association (Belgium). The different profile and expertises of the partnership will allow the cross-sectorial approach the project is seeking and will let possible the development of new and innovative outputs that will be freely available to everyone wishing to increase its skills in the interpreation and creation in heritage contexts. E-CUL-TOURS will deliver 4 main Intellectual Outputs that will accessible to students, teachers but also professional figures active in the field of Cultural Heritage and Tourism. The master module will be built on different phases that will be recognised with 5 ECTS each, having a total of 15 ECTS. Firstly, the different outputs will be created by the partnership in close relationship with stakeholders and other professionals active in the sector. The developed master course does not foreseen any frontal teaching unit and will be made of different formats. In the second phase of the project, the master module will be teached in an Staff Training Teaching Event. It will be afterwards implemented by students, lecturers and other experts during Intensive Study Programmes and within blended mobilities. The master module will expresslly support blended mobilities, virtual and distance learning, distance tutoring and additional virtual working possibilities. The developed real case studies will be implemented and presented in real working contexts. A profile with requirements in terms of skills the students should acquire will be made through a Europe wirde survey gaining feedbacks from stakeholder active in the field. A textbook on ""Managing Cultural Heritage in Tourism"" with entrepreneurial approach and marketing aspects will be created by the partnership. It will comprehend also European funding possibilities for Cultural Heritage and Tourism the students and other stakeholders have the possibility to use. A video course will be recorded and will complement the first output. An online collaborative platform will be introduced within the partnership and used for promoting e-learning within the project and among stakeholders. As third output, a didactic tutorial with learning and teaching methodologies will be completed, followed by a technical tutorial for the different used tools. The expected impact of the project is that students and other figures involved in the master module increase their skills in creating case studies in heritage contexts and ultimately ameliorate their working possibilities through these acquired skills. Other stakeholders will accrue their skills using the developed material. The master module will be revised in the last 6 months of the project and ameliorated according to the evaluations received during the test implementation phase. It will be freely accessible to every interested person, institution or company. Long term benefits will result in the creation of case studies for cultural heritage regional context increasing tourism attractivity for the specific context.
