The main aim of DEKOLLA project was to enhance and renew the work among immigrants. Indeed, to be integrated in a new society is a process that can be long if the receiving country not have a good structure to meet the needs. To make it possible for them to step into the labour market, it is important to identify and reduce the barriers for participation through informal channels through which they learn more about the local labour market and the local business environment.The project focus was both on providing the informal educators new skills and competences to develop new and more effective ways through which engaging both the migrants and the local business community in more effective learning processes leading to a faster inclusion in the local economic context. The general objective of DEKOLLA Project was to develop innovative strategies to involve the business community in the inclusion of migrants in the local society. In particular, specific objectives were: 1. To create networks between migrants and businesses 2. To increase the recruitment base for local companies 3. To increase knowledge and awareness about the dynamics of the local business environment and labour market.The project partnership involved 5 organisations from 3 European countries: Sweden, Italy and Germany. All the countries involved were, at the time, facing strongly the migration wave to Europe. The partnership organized three Transnational Project Meetings and three Training Seminars. The Training Seminars were attended overall by 66 persons. All the participants at the three seminars had a similar background and profile. Indeed, the partners involved in the project activities educators active in the field of integration of migrants in the different local contexts. The 1st Seminar has been a 4 days meeting dedicated to the presentation of partners' experiences in the creation of innovative communication tools to inform refugees, asylum seekers and migrants in general about the entrepreneurial background in which they live and the opportunities that can be offered. It was attended by 24 persons. The 2nd Seminar was dedicated on the methodologies to be used by refugees to be inserted in the job market. Particular attention was paid to the creation of support Networks. It was attended by 20 persons. The 3rd seminar was on the basis of C1 and C2 and was shaped on the basis of the feedback emerged locally during the dissemination meetings. It was held online due to the Covid-19 emergency and it was attended by 22 persons. The Seminar was aimed at presenting the work done by Consorzio Fantasia and in other Italian realities with a focus on the key elements that can used by the partners and adopted at Eu level to promote the inclusion of immigrants in the labor market.The Seminars were the key to the development of the main result of the project: the identification of three key elements that facilitate the integration of migrants in the labour market. The three key elements are:Need based training: It is desirable to have training tailored to the needs of migrants. Too many courses, trainings and formations are “ready-made” for local / domestic people. They do not consider the different countries (and cultures) migrants come from, the different level of education and the variety of previous knowledge among them. Often, also the number of participants in trainings is too high to be able to address their different needs. It is crucial to get a deep analysis of both, the requirements of the local labour market and of the person’s knowledge and skills. -Bridge builders: A Bridge Builder is someone who enables integration in the working environment matching refugees' and companies’ needs. The realization of this objective and the creation of a direct contact between immigrants and locals will trigger a gradual change of opinion, putting the bases for an open and inclusive society. In this project, the two main functions of the Bridge Builder were exemplified by the collaboration between Consorzio Fantasia and Innovation Farm. They organized and performed interviews to evaluate immigrants' professional skills.-Networks and platforms: Social support networks are expected to facilitate immigrants’ integration into their host countries. Through the exchange of experiences between DE, IT and SE, we have seen that a common factor is the establishment in the labour market and society through informal and formal networks and platforms.The target group of the project were: informal trainers for newly arrived people with different ethnical background, asylum seekers and refugees; Civil Servants in local authorities; business community representatives; refugees and asylum seekers.The main impact of the project on the participants and their organizations can be summarised as an increased awareness of the role of tutors in helping beneficiaries enter the labour market and as an improvement of the quality of the services offered.

<< Background >>In the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic and its devastating effects on the European tourist sector in general, it is vital that appropriate policies and measures are taken at the local level across Europe to ensure that the new, post-pandemic tourism industry becomes competitive and relevant to needs and expectations of future visitors. Both digital experiences and sustainability are key issues for many tourists today when deciding which cities and countries they want to visit, and so we believe that these two issues hold a great potential for development in the respective partners’ local ecosystems. To take advantage of such a potential, it is necessary for local officials together with tourist organizations and professionals in toursit sector to get upskilled through innovative continuing education and training.<< Objectives >>General Objective:•To increase the digital skills of the actors in the field of sustainable tourism while promoting new learning pathways in order to contribute to the recovery of the sector.Specific Objectives:•To identify gaps in the skills of the local business actors and develop training solutions accordingly;•To develop re-scalable training solutions for business actors in the field of tourism related to new digital solutions to be applied locally;•To improve cooperation between the local authority and the business actors by developing a learning ecosystem focused on sustainable tourism.<< Implementation >>The project implmentation will be based on the following activities•Project coordination meetings (M1-M15-M30) (Vänersborg, Rijeka, SERN) and online coorindation meetings•A transnational seminar aimed at discussing the results of the survey and at exchanging practices•Peer review activities between representatives of the local ecosystems of the partners•the organisation of 3 multiplier events to promote and disseminate the project results•Joint work for the achivement of the project results: A map of the training needs of the local ecosystem, a C-VET training package for sustainable tourism professionals, a guide for follow-up activities at ecosystem level. By organizing the different methodologies and training activities under a mutual partnership like in this project, the participants will help each other work towards common solutions and shared objectives in a more effective manner than what would otherwise be possible if they were to do it on their own domestically.<< Results >>The project will have the following outcomes In relation to the first objective: to identify existing gaps in the skills of the local business actors in the field of sustainable tourism, the expected outcomes and results will be:-A Map of the digital training needs the local sustainable tourism ecosystem will be created-Increased knowledge about the training needs of the professionals and civil servants -Improved understanding of the local ecosystem digital skills gapsIn relation to the Specific Objective 2: To develop re-scalable training solutions for business actors in the field of tourism related to new digital solutions to be applied locally, the expected outcomes and results will be: - Improved digital skills among local business actors in the field of sustainable tourism;- A Better use of open data at local level among civil servants and professional;- A set of new training contents developed ;- Best practices discussed exchanged; - Peer review methodolgy shared among partner and modelled to the specificity of the business sector;- A Training package for the actors of the local sustainable tourism ecosystem is createdIn relation to the third specific obejctive i.e. to improve cooperation between the local authority and the business actors by developing a learning ecosystem focussed on sustainable tourism, the expected outcomes and results will be:- Increased contacts between the local ecosystem and the municipalities- A long-term approach to C-VET and learning at local ecosystem level adopted in the partner organisations- Improved knowledge of decision-makers about the local ecosystem -Guidelines for follow-up activities and continuous upskilling of the local ecosystem on sustainable tourism developed

The context in which this project originates is deeply connected to the efforts of the EU for the development of a European Education Area by 2025 where spending time abroad to study and learn should become the norm. The project starts off from the need to promote a fundamentally new approach towards transnational mobility opportunities for upper secondary school students in which the school plays a more active role in driving the process while offering high quality learning experiences and ensuring recognition of the period(s) spent abroad. Upper secondary schools can in fact play a key role in educating the European citizens of the future by providing a transnational educational path equipping them with skills and competences needed to access the tertiary education of the future such as the European Universities.In the light of the above mentioned needs the General Objective of the project is to actively contribute to the construction of the European Education Area through the development of a model of European exchange and study programme among general upper secondary schools. The Specific Objectives of the project are:1)To develop and test a joint transnational curriculum/programme among the involved schools; 2)To identify a set of common assessment and certification methods tailored to the acquired competences and skills; 3) To build organisational capacity in upper secondary schools through the identification and the solution of administrative/management problems pertaining long term transnational mobility of pupils.The partnership consists of three upper secondary schools from four countries (Italy, Spain and Sweden) , a transnational network of local and regional authorities with an extensive experience in fostering transnational cooperation processes among educational actors and a research centre from Cyprus with one of the top experience in the field of education of the Mediterranean Region. The target groups of the project Teachers, Administrative and Management staff, 16-17 years old students (grade10-11), civil servants and policy makers in the field of education.The project will consists in a set of 6 transnational coordination meetings, two training seminars for teachers and two long-term mobility of students during which the Model will be tested.The model that will be developed by the partnership will be producing four main Intellectual Outputs which will be the core results of this 36-month-long project:IO1: A transnational study plan is produced based on a common set of subjects and shared contents in each disciplineIO2: A set of tools are produced for the assessment of the skills and notion acquiredIO3: An Administrative and Organisational Package to manage the ProgrammeIO4: An online training course for the school staff
