"El proyecto WOMCA nace como respuesta a la necesidad de fortalecer la presencia de las mujeres jóvenes en el ecosistema de emprendimiento social. Para ello, el proyecto ha desarrollado un programa de formación que viene a reforzar las habilidades interpersonales (soft skills) de las jóvenes emprendedoras sociales con objeto de que así puedan afrontar los miedos que hacen que este colectivo tenga tan poca presencia en el ecosistema de innovación social: con el miedo, el estrés, el género o la gestión de las emociones. También se han incluido en este programa de formación las competencias básicas relacionadas con modelos de negocio innovadores, nuevas herramientas de financiación y otros temas relacionados con la gestión de proyectos dentro del ámbito para la innovación social. El programa formativo WOMCA enfoca de manera innovadora no solo el desarrollo de las actividades interpersonales de las jóvenes emprendedoras, sino el modelo de formación en si mismo, ya que parte de que sean las propias jóvenes emprendedoras las que guíen a otras nuevas emprendedoras en el proceso, apoyándolas a superar los miedos de ser emprendedora y compartiendo su experiencia en el ámbito del emprendimiento social. La iniciativa se ha centrado en el colectivo de las mujeres jóvenes entre 25 a 35 años de edad, que están llamadas a ser las emprendedoras sociales del futuro y que además van a ser las mentoras de las futuras jóvenes emprendedoras sociales: de mujer a mujer, formamos a las emprendedoras del presente que serán (son) las mentoras de las emprendedoras del futuro, Desde septiembre de 2017, el consorcio WOMCA ha trabajado en el desarrollo de este proyecto. El consorcio está formado por cinco entidades de cuatro países de la UE (España. Holanda, Lituania y Austria) cada uno aportando su experiencia en los diferentes ámbitos cubiertos por el proyecto. En este contexto, el proyecto WOMCA cumplió los objetivos previstos al principio del proyecto: - Desarrollar un programa de formación basado en las necesidades actuales y futuras de las jóvenes mentoras que ya son emprendedoras sociales, centrado en el espíritu emprendedor, la creatividad, la innovación y las habilidades sociales. - Desarrollar un MOOC para jóvenes emprendedoras sociales para ayudarlas a encontrar recursos e inspiración para su proceso de emprendimiento y el desarrollo de sus competencias y habilidades, Al final del proyecto, la asociación WOMCA ha desarrollado dos productos intelectuales y un resultado adicional. - O2 - Curso WOMCA - ”Boosting the creative mindset to break the fears of being a young female social entrepreneur”: Un curso de 30 horas de duración dirigido a mujeres jóvenes que tienen un proyecto empresarial relacionado con la innovación social. Este curso les permite formarse para ser una ""joven mentora femenina"" que puede inspirar y apoyar a otras jóvenes empresarias sociales (peer mentoring). El curso está estructurado en 4 módulos para ser impartidos en formación presencial. - O3 - WOMCA MOOC - Boosting the creative mindset to break the fears of being a young female social entrepreneur: Un curso elearning de 10 horas dirigido a mujeres jóvenes que tienen un proyecto empresarial o una idea relacionada con la innovación social. El MOOC es la herramienta de adaptación al e-learning del curso anterior. Además de los productos anteriores, el consorcio ha creado el documento metodológico ""Breaking the fears of being a young female entrepreneur"", que ofrece algunas directrices para el proyecto WOMCA a partir de la adaptación de diferentes metodologías (BrickMe, Lego Serious play) que se utilizarán en los principales productos de WOMCA. Durante la ejecución del proyecto, se han conseguido los siguientes resultados: - 24 jóvenes empresarias han participaron en el taller de formación WOMCA para favorecer su papel como mentoras de otras jóvenes emprendedoras; - 15 jóvenes emprendedoras sociales (de 25 a 35 años de edad) formadas en nuevas habilidades sociales sobre el espíritu emprendedor, la creatividad y la motivación; - 20 formadoras jóvenes que han participado de la experiencia elearning en el MOOC WOMCA y que han integrado estas habilidades interpersonales en su portafolio de; - 120 (entre jóvenes empresarias sociales y otros stakeholders) que participan en eventos multiplicadores; - 1.000 beneficiarios directos e indirectos a través de actividades de difusión formales e informales; - 3 ideas de negocio definidas tras la movilidad formativa. Se espera que los resultados del proyecto WOMCA tengan un impacto a largo plazo que mejore el ecosistema del emprendimiento social, proporcionando una metodología innovadora que promueva no sólo la mentalidad emprendedora social de las mujeres jóvenes, sino también sus habilidades para ser mentoras (mentoras de pares) de otras mujeres jóvenes, contribuyendo a la escalabilidad de la iniciativa."

Increasing accidents on the Offshore Construction sector was the incentive for the development of the SHIEDL project. This trend has been partly due to the increasing number of Offshore platforms in Europe and in particular in the Mediterranean sea. Equally important, an important aspect to be taken into consideration is that Offshore regulation is different and in some countries specific pieces of legislation - with regards to Health & Safety - are not obligatory. The aim of the SHIELD partnership is to improve the Health, Safety, Security & Environmental standards (HSSE) of the Offshore Construction workers in Europe, by providing expert knowledge on Offshore Health & Safety (H&S). This is the main aim of SHIELD project. To achieve its overall aim the project will have these objectives:• To develop a European qualification of the European Expert in H&S Offshore Construction (SHIELD) with certification at ECVETlevel• To establish and pilot a Strategic Partnership comprising training institutions, industry and consultancies in the Offshore Industry• To determine common professional skills of the H&S sector at EU level for the Offshore Construction industry• To develop a common training program based on industry requirements• To test and validate the training The 5 partners of SHIELD project, namely, SHIPCON, IBOXC, PREVIFORM, PRIME and ACTA have organised six (6) multiplier events in which more than 190 participants have attended and became familiar with the aims/objectives and outcomes of the SHIELD project. Among the participants there have been Health & Safety experts, environmental experts as well as members of the public with genuine interest in the risks & opportunities presented by the Offshore Industry in the Mediterranean region. Equally important there have been 11 experts in the area of Offshore Health & Safety, who were trained based on the training course developed within the project. SHIELD has produced a comprehensive e-learning course devoted to H&S Offshore, which comprises of a set of stand alone modules, all related to Health & Safety aspects in the Oil & Gas industry. In fact, this e-learning course is the most comprehensive course ever developed for the Offshore industry and it is expected that the impact attained will continue to increase after the official end of the project. This is due to the fact that the on line course will be used by SHIELD partners as well as external partners, in an effort to enhance the knowledge & expertise of all those involved in the Offshore Industry in the area of HSSE.

"During the project ""Re-designing and co-creating innovative cultural heritage services through libraries"", a professional development program, short-term training for employees, as well as the development of an online MOOC course were created for cultural heritage and memory institutions.The project consortium consists of six organizations from which two are libraries (National Library of Latvia and Belgrade City Library), three universities (Tallinn University, Hacettepe University and De Marne La Vallee University) and Stichting Project Realisatie van Initiative door Modulatie van Entrepreneurschap, whose priority is offering innovative teaching methods to both business and cultural institutions to improve and expand their services and attract customers / users.The idea of the project arose due to the lack of innovative approaches and solutions in cultural heritage promotion services in libraries. Hence the aim of the project is to encourage society to become more involved in identification, preservation, and consumption of cultural heritage by developing training programs and educational materials for libraries, using methodologies that are actively used in other industries (IT, business, marketing).The tasks are directly related to the project goal and intellectual results (IO): to identify the situation (IO1), to design the training programme (IO2), to implement the training programme (IO3), to make project results available via MOOC (IO4). IO1 – State of the art report includes general overview and the situation in iTSELF project partner countries - Estonia, France, Latvia, the Netherlands, Turkey – regarding cultural heritage in libraries.IO2 – the training programme was developed using less widely used methodology in the cultural field: Agile Framework (SCRUM and KANBAN), Lego Serious Play, Business Model You.IO3 – four short-term joint staff training events which included learning new methodology, designing training programme, toolkit and e-learning platform to develop innovative services.IO4 – MOOC (Masive Open Online Course) was created, allowing a wide range of professionals to get acquainted with the results of the project and use them.These innovative approaches and solutions are further used by Belgrade City Library (promotion of cultural heritage in social networks) and the National Library of Latvia (game design and its potential use in the promotion of cultural heritage among users of different generations). The impact and long-term benefits ar provided by MOOC, giving librarians and other information professionals the opportunity in learning new various modern techniques, methods and tools and developing innovative services."

CONTEXTAccording to some of the EU publications and reports (EU Skills Panorama 2014, EURYDICE 2012 study “Developing Key Competences at School in Europe”, amongst others) show that Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are not providing the required skills demanded by the labour market. Specifically, the CRAYON’s project focuses on improving the acquisition of entrepreneurship, creativity, social responsibility, analytical, problem-solving skills and other transversal skills.OBJECTIVESCRAYON's project aimed at motivating HEI students and recent graduates, and to stimulate their social entrepreneurship, creativity, innovation and transversal skills.Besides, the objectives achieved include the development of the Intellectual Outputs, piloting a strategic partnership between HEIs, Business Incubators, Entrepreneur centres and business and to create a community of interested users.PARTICIPATING ORGANISATIONSIn the CRAYON’s project 6 organisations from 5 countries have participated (4 EU countries and 1 EU candidate). The organisations are from different backgrounds:-2 HEIs (FLORIDA – ES and UTH – EL)-SME consultancy (IBOXC – ES)-Non-profit organisation (PRIME – NL)-National Innovation Training Centre (NCDIEL – MK)-Business Incubator (CICIA – RO)This has enriched the project development, as all of them are part of the Entrepreneurship Ecosystem and all of them have different perspectives and contributions to make in this field.DESCRIPTION OF MAIN ACTIVITIESAll Intellectual Outputs (IOs) developed can be accessed from here: http://crayonsproject.eu/en/deliverables/ 1. INNOVATIVE METHODOLOGY. Including Motivation 3.0, Creativity, Gamification, LEGO® Serious Play® and Business Model YOU. It is designed to create, develop and evaluate an entrepreneur idea.2. TRAINING COURSE developed, integrating the CRAYON’s methodology developed, as well as Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Social Responsibility.3. MOOC developed. It guides students to generate business ideas and develop and implement these, especially focusing in the form of social companies. The MOOC is published and freely available at the UTH’ e-learning platform: http://eclass.uth.gr/eclass/.4. TRAINING VIDEOS to guide on-line students in the learning process. They have been used for the CRAYON’s MOOC5. Organisation and testing of the IOs developed in an INTENSIVE STUDY PROGRAMME in Romania and at national level6. Mentoring of ideas generated by students and support during the project7. Other activities: dissemination events, Project Management, Quality Assurance, Evaluation, Exploitation and Sustainability of CRAYON’s outcomesRESULTS AND IMPACTThrough the Multiplier Events and dissemination activities organised, CRAYON’s project has reached over 2500 persons from different contexts: students, entrepreneurs, teachers, trainers, HEI lecturers, managers (Human Resources, Innovation departments, etc.), staff from different type of organisations, etc. There is detailed information on dissemination activities available here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-qcLZOSKO-UTm9DdzN3Sjh6U0U (multiplier events are in a separate folder).Also, we have reached around 9500 persons over social networks and project website (8200 persons in Facebook, 300 persons in Twitter and almost 1050 users in the website).Relevance of CRAYON’s project is the qualitative impact reached. According to the information gathered from questionnaires and feedback received afterwards, the project has achieved relevant changes in some organisations, especially HEIs:-Over 20 teachers and lecturers have used CRAYON’s methodology in their lectures to work entrepreneurship skills (teamwork, creativity, innovation, etc.) and team building-Primary, Secondary Education and VET Centres have contacted us to use CRAYON’s methodology to work soft skills (empathy, communication, teamwork, flexibility and other interpersonal skills) within their classes.-We have been requested assistance to guide organisations in their internal change process. The methodology has proven to be a very powerful tool to identify needs and problems within an organisation, to think of new solutions (avoiding biases), and organise the change process. Also companies find CRAYON’s methodology useful to develop, transform and regenerate processes or services within the organisation. Besides, they have used it to enhance the teamwork and group cohesionLONG-TERM BENEFITS-Partners have a Skype meeting scheduled in November 2017 to discuss about the preparation of a training course for European teachers, trainers and lecturers to exploit CRAYON’s results (methodology, training course and MOOC)-CRAYON’s methodology has been integrated in Compulsory Secondary Education, VET and Higher Education levels, more specifically in the following University degrees: Primary Education Teaching, Early Education Teaching, and Entrepreneurship subjects within other education qualifications provided
