The project will deliver urban food system transformation via Bauhaus Bites (BB) Food Environments, co-created and demonstrated in 7 cities at different levels of societal readiness, their transferability discussed with sister projects and European/global networks, and the results summarised in a Playbook for broad adoption. Bauhaus Bites Food Environments are urban and peri-urban ecosystems that commit to implementing sustainable healthy diets, amplified by the New European Bauhaus, and fortified with Nature-Based Solutions, ensuring that the transformed food environments of tomorrow are sustainable, inclusive and beautiful. By merging the key perspectives of European and global strategies such as the Farm to Fork and FOOD 2030 strategies, the Planetary Health Diet and the Planetary Health Diets with the New European Bauhaus values and principles, Bauhaus Bites offers a unique approach not yet seen in food system transformation projects, that will reimagine these food environments together with local, culturally diverse communities, customised to meet their needs, and anchored in social meeting spaces that carry meaning for them. The project will co-create BB Food environments in 3 Trailblazers (Birmingham, Fundão, Zagreb) and 4 Twins (Murska Sobota, Ostend, Palermo, Sarajevo) with different geographies, sizes, demographic challenges and societal readiness, boost mutual learning through a Community of Practice, document their added value with science-based indicators to inform high-level policy-making, test them for transferability with European/global networks, and summarise the learnings, guidelines, methods and examples in a Playbook. The BB approach will be based on inclusive participation and co-creation, including city and regional authorities, community- and business-driven initiatives, and inhabitants and end users of the food environments.

"PROJECT BACKGROUNDYouth unemployment is one of the most pressing challenges Europe faces. According to Eurostat youth unemployment statistics there were 4,96 million unemployed persons under 25 years old in the EU 28 in December 2014, which amounts to a youth unemployment rate of 21.4 %.While many young people search in vain for employment or apprenticeship positions, existing vacancies are often not filled because employers complain they cannot find suitable young candidates. Among the reasons for this gap are lacking basic knowledge about the way enterprises function and an unsatisfactory level of key competences. Such basic business competence, however, is essential for successfully (inter-)acting in the world of work.PROJECT OBJECTIVESYoung people from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds are particularly affected by the risk of unemployment. They are the target group that most urgently need skills, competences and guidance for the competitive labour market.ENTRE-YOU addresses this problem by developing a unique training programme leading to internationally recognized certification. It targets young disadvantaged jobseekers.The ENTRE-YOU training concept combines basic economic knowledge with social and personal skills needed for being successful the labour market. The aim is to enable young jobseekers to become „CEOs of their own lives“. In particular, the following key competences of the European Commission’s key competence framework are addressed:- 1. Communication in the mother tongue- 3. Mathematical competence- 4. Digital competence- 5. Learning to learn- 6. Social and civic competences- 7. Sense of initiative and entrepreneurshipPROJECT PARTNER CONSORTIUMFour key partners (AT, AT, HU) will bring specific competences, methodologies or good practices into the project, which will serve as the starting point for the ENTRE-YOU project outputs.The four transfer partners are from coutries with high youth unemployment rates (RO, HR, ES, BG). Their main objective is to pilot the ENTRE-YOU approach with their target groups and evaluate its potential.PARTICIPANTSENCRAFT will reach a minimum of 430 people benefiting directly from the project.- Participants taking part in pilot courses: 125- Trainers involved in the Train-the-Trainer Course and training material development: 35- Local Participants at Multiplier Events: > 270Indirect beneficiaries are hundreds of thousands young disadvantaged job seekers, who potentially could be given a new perspective on life and ""self entrepreneurship"" through the ENTRE-YOU approach.PROJECT ACTIVITIES AND METHODOLOGYENTRE-YOU develops a comprehensive training package which is tailor-made to the needs of young people, including those with a low level of education, from social-economically disadvantaged backgrounds and at risk of being excluded from the labour market. The training package includes- a curriculum of defined learning objectives covering three areas:o Economic thinkingo Economic planning and implementationo Personal and social competence- an interface with the existing certificate EBC*L certification system, which allows the participants to take an internationally recognized exam at the end of the training- didactic concepts which ensure that the training approach is life-, action-, production- and media-oriented and thus likely to be designed to raise the interest and motivation of the hard-to-get target group- a set of attractive and motivating face-to-face and online learning materials on the three areas mentioned above- a manual for VET and labour market trainers how to effectively uses these materials- a Train-the-Trainer seminar to enable adult educators to apply and cascade the developed products- a clear and purposeful strategy in terms of quality control, dissemination and sustainablity, promoting the ENTRE-YOU outputs and making sure that they will be used by after the end of funding.IMPACT ENVISAGED AND LONGER TERM BENEFITSENTRE-YOU will lead to an improved offer for VET institutions whichs meet the training needs of young disadvantaged jobseekers. It can be expected that in the long run the project will contribute to a higher employability for young adults."

The European Commission has developed two parallel approaches to support the implementation of smart urban technologies: the creation of 'lighthouse projects' (large scale demonstration of technology in cities and communities) and 'horizontal activities' to address specific challenges (e.g. regulatory barriers, in standardisation, public procurement and performance monitoring). CITYKEYS project is within the context of these horizontal activities. The mission of CITYKEYS is to develop, and validate, a holistic performance measurement framework for future harmonized and transparent monitoring and comparability of the European cities activities during the implmeatation of Smart City solutions. The work methodology will be based on the following key factors: • Extensive collaboration and communication with European cities. • Establish a baseline by analysis and integration of existing results from previous initiatives. • Develop a set of KPIs specific for Smart Cities initiatives evaluation and comparability • Smart solutions for transparent and open data collection and processing. The tangible objectives of the CITYKEYS project are to: 1) Develop and validate a transparent performance evaluation framework: including KPIs definition, guidelines for data collections, performance system prototype and testing in case-cities. 2) Develop recommendations for the implementation of the performance system into the cities decision-making process and recommendations for the development of new business. 3) Engage stakeholders in identifying and exploiting opportunities for synergy and replicability; and establish a collaboration platform for European cities. The consortium includes 3 multidisciplinary research organizations, 1 cities association and 5 partner cities covering different geographical regions in Europe and different urban realities. In addition to the 5 partner cities, 15 others shown their commitment to join the project stakeholders advisory group.

Drastic decrease in transport emissions of 55% by 2030 and 90% by 2050 is required for European cities to reach climate neutrality. This is hindered by inconvenient mobility infrastructure, inadequate services and insufficient governance for short-distance travel, negatively impacting active modes’ safety and security. REALLOCATE’s main objective is to pave the way towards climate-neutral, safe, inclusive and smart European cities through integrated and innovative sustainable urban mobility solutions that will address the needs of diverse groups and communities, while rebalancing street space allocation. The project will empower 10 twinned Mission Cities (Gothenburg-Tampere, Heidelberg-Utrecht, Lyon-Warsaw, Budapest-Zagreb, Barcelona-Bologna) by providing horizontal thematic expertise, supporting them to build a local innovation ecosystem to develop and deploy zero-emission, shared, inclusive, active and human-centred mobility interventions. Pilots in 15 urban and peri-urban unsafe areas will demonstrate innovative urban space management and reallocation strategies for sustainable modes (with a specific focus on active modes), having in mind safety, inclusivity, affordability and a just transition to climate neutrality overall. Solutions include innovative urban design, behavioural nudging, smart technological and data-driven solutions to reduce actual and perceived road safety risks, all contributing to achieving climate neutrality by 2030. The pilots will be the learning and testing environments for integrated approaches to foster knowledge transfer and collaborative learning to staff in cities through mentoring and capacity building, knowledge exchange, twinning and work shadowing. The project’s impact will be exponentially increased by engaging 10 Cascade Cities in capacity building activities, and providing them with replication packages and guidelines resulting in implementation plans for replicating at least one of the innovative solutions piloted.
