    << Background >>After #MeToo movement across USA and Europe, the topic of gender based discrimination, sexual harassment and sexual assault becomes a hot subject in the attention not only of the public opinion, but to simple people around the world. The fact that 12 millions posts on Facebook in the first 24 hours referred to #MeToo movement and other 1,7 million messages on Tweeter from 85 different countries relied on the same topic proves that, the Hollywood phenomenon is very close with what a large number of persons are facing on the daily basis at workplace, at school, at university or in different other places.The lower numbers reported in the statistics proves that this remains a sensitive, if not a taboo topic, which can be explained by the fact that victims often feel shame, guilt, or fear of retributions. The low incidence of repercussions for abusers discourages the victims to report these cases. It is also shows a lack of knowledge and awareness among employers and victims on how they can prevent the phenomenon, change the attitude, and reduce its costs of all levels: individual, organizational, societal.Thus, the project aims to provide skills and knowledge for young people (aged 18-30) to prevent and react towards gender based discrimination, sexual harassment and sexual assault and for youth workers, trainers, counselors, mentors and volunteers who work with young people to assist them in dealing with the phenomenon and to ensure a safe environment where they can discuss this sensitive topic.The project #NOT ME has two categories of target groups:a) youth workers, counselors, trainers, mentors, volunteers working with young people, representatives of employers (young employees's mentors, supervisors, leaders) b) young people enrolled in a study program or an internship program and young employees, aged between 18-30 years.<< Objectives >>The main objectives of the project are :a) To raise awareness of more than 300 young people (aged between 18-30 years) on their level of exposure to sexual harassment, on the associated risks, behaviors and on the appropriate solutions for prevention and reaction, by developing an assessment tool for measuring gender based discrimination, sexual harassment and sexual assault, in 24 months of project.b) To provide youth workers, trainers, volunteers, counselors, mentors as well as youth skills, knowledge and effective tools to prevent gender based discrimination, sexual harassment and sexual assault, by elaborating a full highly innovative training package including the curriculum, the training contents and the methodology, in 2 years.c) To raise awareness on sexual harassment at workplace and to equip young employees aged between 18-30 years with skills and knowledge to prevent, to change the attitude, and to react against it, by creating an online course, during 24 months.d) To raise awareness of representatives of employers (as work place mentors, internship leaders) on their responsibilities, ways of actions, and ways of supporting young people employeed to prevent sexual harassment at organizational level, by elaborating a guidelines on this topic, during 2 years of project.<< Implementation >>In order to develop the project results, the consortium refers to the latest evidence based research and educational strategies in this area. This will ensure a functional pedagogical development of the training material, especially since members of consortium have successfully developed training material for youth workers etc., and youth in other European projects.The overall guiding framework to monitor the project will be based upon a Utilization-Focused evaluation approach (Patton, 2008). The main focus of this method is that the evaluation (internal) should be made by the their utility and actual use. The evaluation process will incorporate the monitoring of performance indicators together with continuous quality improvement (CQI) throughout the project. With this background in mind, the utilization of the theory of change will also be incorporated. This methodology explains how a group of early and intermediate accomplishments sets the stage for producing long-range results (sustainability) that is a main objective of this project.The following steps will be utilized:1) Input (month 1 – 4): Assessment Algorithm for Measuring Sexual Harassment - PR12) Activity (month 5 – 13): Elaboration of the innovative youth training package``How to say no! Prevent gender based discrimination, sexual harassment and sexual assault!`` - PR24) Output (month 14– 16): Elaboration and testing of the online course for the young employees ``Sexual harassment at work place`` - PR36) Output (month 17 – 20): Elaboration of the guidelines for representatives of employers ``Prevent sexual harassment at work`` - PR47) Impact (month 21 – 24): The project will have produced materials for a European training course that will equip youth workers, trainers, counselors, volunteers, representatives of employers and youth with the knowledge, skills and competences required to be aware, prevent and intervene in gender based discrimination, sexual harassment and sexual assault (further details about the impact, can be found in the impact section of the application).Strategic working groups: the partners will form a youth strategic working group in their locality, that could include representatives of NGO's, youth organizations, universities, employers, trade unions, professional associations, police forces and other relevant stakeholders. Partners will work with their groups throughout the project, using them for information, feedback and evaluation. They will also be useful for project results dissemination.Strategic networks: each partner will form a strategic network, which might be regional, national or international, for the purpose of disseminating the aims and the results of the project.<< Results >>The project expected results of the project are: - an innovative assessment Algorithm for Measuring Sexual Harassment, - an innovative training package piloted internationally and tested in each partner country (innovative curriculum, attractive training contents and materials and creative and interactive methodologies for face to face training) designed to cover necessary topics and subjects for youth workers, trainers, counselors, mentors, volunteers working with young people to learn how to help and support them to prevent and to react towards gender based discrimination, sexual harassment and sexual abuse,- attractive and innovative online course for young employees on preventing sexual harassment at work place, tested by 20 young employees from each partner country, - solid guidelines for representatives of employers on how they can prevent sexual harassment at work place and encourage young people to report it.- a short term joint staff training based on the developed curriculum, training contents and methodologies for youth workers and trainers from the 5 partner organizations.- 300 young people who will be aware on their level of exposure to sexual harassment, on the associated risks, behaviors and on the appropriate solutions for prevention and reaction, by applying an assessment tool for measuring gender based discrimination, sexual harassment and sexual assault.-20 youth workers, trainers etc. participant to the train the trainer ``How to say no!

    "<< Background >>Climate change (CC) is affecting every country, quality of our life and it will continue to do so, unless we try to educateourselves and our children to make changes in our lives that will impact the environment less. Knowledge on CC in formaleducation helps the development of sense of responsibility through creation of informed awareness. Such awareness isnecessary to guide students’ behaviour towards concerted ameliorative actions (McMillan et al., 2004; Kuhlemeier et al.,1999; O'connor et al., 1999). Moreover, the school students should be motivated towards an environment-friendly lifestyleby inculcating informed awareness in them so that they can influence adoption of better climate policy by choosing proenvironmentleadership (Boyes et al., 1993). Environmental education is very fragmented in EU schools, lacking a holisticapproach. Partners decided to collect existing good practices used in schools, youth, training organizations and create ancurriculum for environmental interdisciplinary learning with holistic approach for all levels of education<< Objectives >>ECOSTREAM project is an attempt to summarize the available experience in the European countries, the experience ofteachers in the use of elements of social simulation as an efficient environment protection pedagogy offering an overviewof the positive effects of learning by doing. The objectives of the project are: *to collect and share good practices amongproject partners, *to increase professional development of teachers *to collect ideas and create a Curriculum forenvironmental interdisciplinary learning based on climate change simulation games and follow up activities for the projectresult. *to develop and reinforce EU networks for sustainable environment among teachers *to enrich the network forsustainable environment and awareness raising on CC effects among schools, education providers.<< Implementation >>Partners will collect good practices examples during all project implementation, create a Curriculum for environmentalinterdisciplinary learning based on climate change simulation games and follow up activities for the project result. During2 short term joint staff trainings partners will share their experience in using Climate change and environmental protectiongames and methods for pupils training. 2nd LTT will be dedicated to Verification and evaluation interdisciplinary lessonplans<< Results >>The project will produce tangible and intangible results: Intangible results (project outputs): - new competencies forteachers in the partners' organisations; - exchange of experience and good practices among teachers at internationallevel; - increased intercultural competences for the staff and learners; - lifelong learning network of partners and otherstakeholders involved in the project at local, national and European level; It will be represented by tightened cooperationof different communities in relation to issues of youth education.
