For the elderly, it is necessary to engage actively in society, to be constructive, to deal with current and social issues. There is a substantial need for opportunities to promote senior’s active inclusion in society and lifelong learning, so they can connect with other people and their social contribution can be ensured.The project aims at the social integration of the elderly and seniors in a unique way where they can engage in social life through high-quality learning opportunities via digital learning solutions through various learning methods.The project will focus on the inclusion of seniors and elderly people in society, for that reason the GAP-IOS project brings together seven partners from 4 European countries, Germany, Spain, Portugal and Turkey who work with and for seniors and are experienced in life-long learning, training and online activities. The cooperation from different EU countries will ensure useful and good practices to the project. The project partners are chosen carefully according to their expertise and experience in the fields which this project involves. They will all bring their unique contribution to the project and its intellectual outputs. Target group will be elderly people and seniors over the AGE OF 65+ YEARS OLD.There will be three intellectual outputs in this project:The first intellectual output will be the GOLDEN AGE PLATFORM (GAP) which is prepared under a curriculum by experts of the related subjects, consists of basic knowledge on digitilization, health, financial, legal issues cultural and hobby activities (IO1) that elderly can use in their daily lives and protects them not to be cheated by malicious people. GAP is free of charge and is organised under the curriculum prepared by the academia and the experts in related subjects from public and private institutions with the collaboration of the project partners. The curriculum and the training programmes include different aspects of views from different cultures, sharing of experiences, searching for the best solutions in a transnational way.The second intellectual output is the TRAINING DOCUMENTS FOR SENIOR TRAINERS (IO2), which will consist of four tasks: Presentation and Teaching Techniques, Basic Teaching Skills, Basic Knowledge about Long-life Learning and Basic Models of Pedagogy. “TRAINING OF THE SENIOR TRAINERS” is organised according to the training document prepared in the (IO2) which will be organised as Short Term Training Activities (STT). These three workshops will be realised in Ankara(C1), Lisbon (C2) and Bonn (C3). The partner organisations in each country will be responsible from the organizational process of the workshop.The last intellectual output of the project will be COMMUNICATION AND DISSEMINATION MEDIA (IO3), which will contain four tasks: Technical developments of the web, content production, social media activities and animation movies, online teaching materials, e-learning tools.During the GAP-IOS project, there will be 4 transnational meetings. From each project partner, 2 participants and from the coordinator partner 3 participants will attend to these four meetings and contribute according to their expertise. The purpose of these transnational meetings is, basically experience and know-how transfer between the project partners. The consortium of the project supports seniors as well as elderly with disadvantaged backgrounds through e-learning tools and digital platforms. The project aims at creating educational environments and provides a BEST PRACTICE MODEL that can be used in various countries to increase the living standards of elderly and provide their social inclusion into society.The project aims the social inclusion of the seniors and elderly people in an innovative way where they can join in social life by high quality learning opportunities on digital learning applications through informal and non-formal learning methods. For that reason all the document and training modules will be uploaded in the web pages of the partners and open axess for everyone.For multiplier event (E1) an international conference is planned “International Conference on The Social Inclusion of Seniors” in Turkey which focuses on the intellectual outputs of the project, besides “Experiences and Best Practises on Seniors” for 2 days in Ankara. The conference will be supported by all the project partners.During the project, the impact of the project is evaluated after every activity of the project by statistical methods via surveys and interviews. Project Management Board (PMB) will continuously monitor the implementation of the work plan, control the project budget and the project activities.The public will be informed from the project activities and results via EPALE.

Human activity is overloading our atmosphere with carbon dioxide and other global warming emissions, which trap heat, steadily drive up the planet’s temperature, and create significant and harmful impacts on our health, our environment, and our climate. Still, children/students get only theoretical and scarce knowledge which leaves open doors to the conventional energy sources. Renewable energy is available everywhere and the technologies of application are mature and relatively simple. It is vital that young people develop a solid understanding of renewable energy’s power and its various possible applications. The project has been a great start for youngsters to learn more about all types of renewable energy, and grow up more informed about the vital role of renewable technologies in changing world’s energy future. The center of this project and event concept is the exchange of knowledge with a high degree of participation and co-creation. The project aims to: - increase young people's competence in renewable energy through innovative and creative learning- Train young people to be able to organize their community for launching a local renewable energy initiative with bottom up approach - Train young people to be able to select the technologically, agriculturally, economically, socially and environmentally best fitting option for their community. The project was planned to be completed in 4 phases. Yet, as a result of difficulties experienced by the partners such as traveling challenges, closure of schools, and overall government restrictions, due to the coronavirus outbreak, 4th phase has been canceled.1st Phase - Kickoff and coordination meetings: 1.Ankara-TURKEY, 2.Bonn-GERMANY, 3.Barcelona-SPAIN, 4.Vienna-AUSTRIA2nd Phase - Production of IOs: There are four IOs in this project; - Information, educational kits and training documents, used during training of young trainers and educators, and during the renewable energy events. - Peer learning methodology, used during the peer learning activities. - Informative media, used for the dissemination of the project during each activity - E-learning module used during the training3rd Phase - Learning, Teaching and Training Activities:University students were trained by the experts from Bilkent University and Viyana Technical University. Approximately 15 young trainers were planned to participate to science trainings, we achieved to train 31 young trainers. There have been learning teaching activities in 4 different cities such as Çanakkale, Trabzon, İzmir and Iğdır. First day of the activities were held at high schools for high school students and teachers. Second day of the activities were held at education faculties of the universities for education faculty students which are the teachers of tomorrow. Third day of the activities were held at renewable energy plants according to regional relevance with university students. There were students and teachers from 22 different high schools, 4 different universities. 31 Young Trainers, 500 high school students, app. 20 high school teachers, 462 university students at education faculties attended to training activities, 170 students attended to technical tours.Since we established renewable energy, peer learning methodology and e-learning tools, this will be a model and hub for youth to learn more about these concepts. Under the professional experience and coordination of the Ankara Provincial Directorate of Environment and Urbanization, the experience of European partner organizations, the technical knowledge of Bilkent University, and the participation of TERA Ankara, a well-organized and meticulously structured training program on renewable energy has been put into use.Young students have been intentionally selected to be trained as the main target group for the project. Because we thought that the education of youth is more crucial compared to the other groups in order to spread the vital importance of renewable energy usage from generation to generation in a sustainable way and to ensure a solid understanding of its technology. Additionally, we have also selected the teacher candidates who study in education faculties in related cities as a target group in order to meet the sustainability goals of the project, so that, they will also educate their students in the future raising them promoting renewable energy mentality.Moreover, academic studies realized within the project scope will be a resource to be used by students and other academicians permanently for years after the end of the EU funding.All the intellectual outputs composed by the experts have been being published on the official website of the project (www.renewableenergyforyouth.org ) and they are downloadable in any time for those who want to know about the field and need to use them.

Background of Project went back to 2015 as Syrian Refugee issue began to increasingly affected not only Turkey, but all Europe and the World. Then as an academic institution Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University (AYBÜ) academicians had felt responsibility to deal with the refugee issue. Main idea of Project was to train experts with a specific training program about young refugees aged between 13-18 who did not have access in formal education. Thus the Science Training Program (STP) aimed to attract and stimulate the interests of Syrian youth towards science and education with an enjoyable methods through playing games and making conversations. Throughout the project, staff of our partners have been trained both as experts and trainers. AYBÜ-ULİSA directed all activities of Project while it led dissemination works under its main responsibility. AYBÜ-ULİSA has thus spent very extensive efforts by convening meetings for every week without interruption during two years period. Between 8 to 20 project partners' staff participated in each TNM meetings and workshops according to necessities. About two thousand audiences joined projects' dissemination activities and through media the project reached to many thousandsAs for the main activities, Kick-off meeting held on 14-15 December 2017, in Ankara. Major aim was to inform partner organizations about their duties and responsibilities and to deal with the details of the project’s intellectual outputs, workshops, transnational meetings, multiplier events and budgetary issues. These all managed without problem. Then in the first workshop, held in e-Campus University, on 12-16 February 2018, in Italy, activities and performances of partner organizations were discussed and the results proved with fairly success. Then three prominent professors had given lectures about integration and education of refugees from the aspects of sociological, historical, pedagogical and legal points. The results helped to raise the quality of Project.Second workshop held Germany on April 3-7, 2018. Meeting organized for planning work pack of STP and dissemination activities and strengthening for management, and so on. This meeting satisfactorily ended. Then second TNM held in Strasbourg, on June 24-27, 2018. Two crucial achievements were obtained: the first was the satisfactory results of evaluation form/survey conducted by ULİSA and USDAD in order to assess the performance and efficiency of project management; the second was the presentation of the project in a Conference in the Council of Europe, with all partners and it provided for the promotion of project's objectives in Strasbourg to European statesman, media, and to wider communities. Evidences of these activities included in attachments. Third TNM held in Germany on 27-29 August, 2018. At this meeting, iserundschmidt introduced several experiments/games that were components of STP; Right-Challenge introduced four games and the way how to use them and e-Campus introduced some cartoons related to refugees and an e-learning platform that providing for a tool for trainers for transmitting knowledge to young refugees.Third workshop held in Turkey on 5-7 December, 2018. First pilot field works regarding the implementation of STP was conducted in GAV’s place, Ankara. In addition to project partners 15 young Syrian refugees attended to the pilot implementation with age groups between 13-18 years. Then the informative media was introduced. On the last day of workshop, an International Symposium on Syrian Refugees was held. Also a Photograph Exhibition about Syrian Refugees was opened in partnership with GAV and with UN High Commissioner for Refugees which also was an extra contributory activity. Last TNM held in Portugal on 1 May, 2019. Partners overviewed and evaluated all intellectual works of project and impressions and, experiences in the refugee camps and workshop in Kahramanmaraş were discussed. In short Iserundschmidt has successfully completed the STP with the contribution of all partners which trained young refugees in an attractive way and raised their desires towards science and education. Then brochures, CDs and special booklets were produced for dissemination. The STP was further tested in the field, in refugee camp in Kahramanmaraş on 5-6 March, 2019, in collaboration with GAV. On 7 March, 2019, further to test the practicability of final version of STP and to disseminate projects’ findings, an international workshop held in Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University. After then to further disseminate Project’s results; Project’s second intellectual output Informative Media consisted of a series of videos, brochures and a website was completed. In short it could be summarized that all targets of the project were successfully completed.The ongoing international academic book, Informative Media consist of series of videos, brochures, printed booklets and the website all will ensure sustainability of Project.
