Given the cultural differences, economic situations and National legislations among the different EU countries, CSR implementation has reached different level of development, influencing greatly the provision of trainings in the companies and the provision of professional support by business consultant. One of the reasons for the increased level of interest is the participation of many western EU companies on CEE territories and the growing relations and economic interests, as observed by the partners. The present proposal is aimed at finding the best education solution to formulate a curriculum for the production of a training in CSR, that can satisfy the needs of future participants especially the ones coming from Central and East Europe,. The proposed curriculum can offer them a better prospective on how sustainable and ethical organizations operate and to learn how to get enterprises interested in improve their CSR activities. Such care for employees and customers by a company has a direct impact on employees’ productivity, company’s image and with a huge benefit on company's competitiveness. By actively promoting social responsibility at all organizational levels, enterprises can significantly contribute to the European Union’s objectives of sustainable development and creation of the highly competitive social market economy. The partners analysed different aspects and situations related to sustainable and socially responsible organization, ethical behaviours, and sustainable management of resources. Their aims has been to investigate the most appropriate learning approach to be applied for delivering training to managers, business consultants, government officials and other professionals responsible for implementing CSR activities or monitoring them. During the project lifetime, both participants and stakeholders have been invited in taking part in different workshops to discuss the selected topics and assess the products as prepared by the partners. Those are the results that that be sustained after the project conclusion +Curriculum and Training Structure for Business Consultants and Managers+Curriculum of Train the Trainer training: Leading CSR, Certified Program+Engagement strategy to involve participants in the local workshopsFor this reason, the project is expected to have a positive impact on the partners and on the participants as: - Increase awareness on the importance of CSR method - Improved quality of the work developed in the procedures of evaluation of the learning of the participants and their certification;- Enlarged ability to use of simpler terminology, more interesting and engaging for target groups and stakeholders -New and more engaging methodology and tools to implement the CSR oriented tasks and activities

The EURspace Project: European I-VET Recognition Portal, reference number 2015-1-EN01-KA202-013119, financed by the Erasmus + Key-Action 2 programme, has fulfilled the general objective of facilitating European youth mobility in IVET, contributing towards the development of a European skills and qualifications area, and promoting transparency in the processes of recognition, validation and certification of learning outcomes acquired abroad.The EURspace Project (https://eurspace.eu/) was developed by a European partnership consisting of 8 organizations from 7 European countries: five are schools providing Initial Vocational Education and Training courses (Portugal, Italy, Romania, Lithuania and Turkey); an association of vocational training centres (Spain); a polytechnic institute (France); and an organization specializing in e-learning training solutions and educational platforms (Spain).This project underpins the need to value, give credibility and recognize the acquired learning developed thanks to European mobilities, through the recognition of competencies within the Initial Vocational Qualification’s scope. The Project contributes to the mobility of citizens in Europe, transparency within the recognition of competencies and qualifications in VET, and towards the promotion of the implementation of ECVET, through tools that support the process of recognition, evaluation, validation, credit assignment and certification of learning outcomes units carried out in other European countries, allowing the combination of theoretical and practical approaches and extending the national “vision” to the European “vision” within the context of the initial vocational qualification of young people..Throughout the project, three intellectual products were developed for the target-groups, considered to be of high interest and usefulness, which contribute strongly towards the sustainability and multiplication of results. The main intellectual products and outputs are as follows:- ECVET European Platform (Intellectual Output No. 1) - https://eurspace.eu/ecvet/. This output is a digital platform that provides pedagogical and logistical support to organizations involved in European mobility projects and want to implement ECVET. It contains open educational resources; a database of organizations working with mobility projects, project and forum discussions, reference examples based on learning outcomes, matching matrices, a pedagogical circuit with tools for the management of mobility projects and the implementation of ECVET.- EURspace Pedagogical Kit (Intellectual Output No. 2). This output consists of a Methodological Guide for Professionals and a battery of pedagogical tools, designed to implement the matching methodology, support the implementation of ECVET and support the management of European mobility projects.- Guide to Support ECVET Understanding for Learners (Intellectual Output # 3). This output is a guide for students who study IVT Courses, and provides them with information about ECVET in a creative way by giving them clues in order to make good choices about quality mobility programmes, which ensure recognition and validation of learning outcomes;- Matching Methodology - conceived in parallel to the implementation of a pilot project in the Hotel and Restaurant Management area; aims at the elaboration of a matrix with Learning Outcomes Units that are equivalent to a qualification, among several countries. It follows the EQF principles and the technical specifications of ECVET. The matching methodology is sustainable in the sense that it is transversal to different qualifications, training areas and countries.- Matching Matrices - available on the European ECVET Platform. Organizations registered on the platform can design their own matrices and make these available on the platform;- Qualification benchmarks based on Learning Outcomes - the references of the Cooking Technician qualification, adapted from the original references provided by each partner country, are available on the digital platform;- Pedagogical Circuit - virtual route of the stages and processes involved in the European mobility of students for learning purposes. Pedagogical instruments are associated with each stage.The tools devised serve the interests of a multiplicity of national and European actors and organizations, around national qualifications systems and bodies responsible for implementing ECVET, including national and European management bodies. It is in the interest not only of students participating in the European mobilities for formal learning purposes, but of the professionals of the organizations that promote European IVT mobility and of the schools and centres promoting IVT, but the results have also highlighted a high interest from national management bodies of the national qualification systems, which are responsible for the implementation of ECVET in various countries.
