    << Objectives >>Raising awareness is a strong form of education. Real life stories, testimonies are what has taught us humans to get to where we are today. We learn what is wrong and learn not to repeat them. This project aims to educate by raising awareness on a matter that is not easily spoken up about. The social events that will be held in Greece and Belgium along with the data collected and shared, will have a moving impact on our citizens and the awareness of the matter in our countries and in Europe.<< Implementation >>Our activities include six components. The project meetings allows us to organise and discuss how we divide tasks and responsibilities, methods of conducting research and a plan for achieving our objectives. We conduct our research, find women to interview and create the clothing and audio-photo exhibitions. Discussion panels are held in both countries. A virtual gallery of the exhibitions is created and we publish the discussion panel video, both as sustainable results.<< Results >>Develop an interactive audio-photo exhibition with stories. Develop the 'what were you wearing' testimonial exhibition, which will feature clothing items alongside stories of survivors. Organise a discussion panel with survivors of sexual harassment and key stakeholders to discuss the issue and advocate for change. Partner and create a platform in collaboration with advocacy groups and other stakeholders to build a network of interactive support around the issue of sexual harassment in Europe.

    "European youth aged 15-24, while searching for identity and culture in their societies, are the most vulnerable in understanding the full potential of EU citizenship and its various dimensions. This being said, education has always played a significant role in cultivating identity and culture in young minds. That is why education, towards a common goal of a better understanding of EU citizenship, is essential. The European Union gives great importance to young people’s learning and appropriation of their own cultures and the common culture of Europe, in effect allowing the youth to acquire cultural awareness which will carry them to the future, as well as gain contemporary skills to become the architects of their own lives. However, among EU countries, there are different approaches to EU citizenship education in school curriculums and education systems in general (Eurydice, 2017). Unfortunately, in some countries their teachings are simply insufficient. This situation raises the need to expand the framework of citizenship education and its dimensions among EU member country school education systems .This project will train to implement EU citizenship education into the curriculum of the students from the project partner countries (TR, PL, LT). The target students are aged 14-18. This project will deliver a Training Module 4 important elements: 1. Purpose; 2. Content; 3. Learning Teaching Processes; and 4. Evaluation - defined as the ""EU CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION PROGRAM"". By implementing a joint education program with the schools in our project, we aim to provide EU citizenship education, to adopt EU values, to raise awareness of European common culture and to have a European identity among young students. In order to achieve the EU's goal of creating an integrated Europe, it is important that EU citizenship competencies, EU values and European common cultural awareness are given to young European individuals in a holistic approach. In this sense, our project ensures that students will be supported in school within the teacher-parent triangle, with in-school and out-of-school activities, communication, cooperation, interaction with their European peers, and take responsibility together. In this context, we aim to achieve and impart three Intellectual Outputs by the end of the project’s program implementation.European Citizenship Common Education Program for Integrated Europe’s Intellectual Outputs:* European Youth and Culture Club (IO1)EYCC will be established by and with partner schools. EYCC Management Units, Activity Contents, and Working Schedule will be prepared by the participating students of partner schools using peer-mediated teaching, brainstorming, and collaborative teaching methods. EYCCs will raise students’ awareness about European citizenship through (inter)active events and activities. By joining the club, students’ planning, preparing, organizing, and participation skills will improve. Students will gain awareness of civic participation with the help of partner NGOs and other institutions involved in club activities. * Mobile Application (IO2)A free and accessible iOS- and Android-compatible mobile application will be created. App users can access significant content and information about artistic and cultural items in Europe. The app will enable young European users to communicate and interact with each other. The contents of the mobile application will be created by the young students using the peer-mediated teaching, brainstorming, and collaborative teaching methods. Through the project, the mobile application will reach many European young users and contribute to a common understanding of European citizenship among young people.* EU Citizenship Training Module (IO3)A joint education program for EU citizenship will be implemented among partner schools. The implementation aims to systematically provide EU citizenship competencies to European young people. The program will be created by school teachers and will be piloted for 8 months in partner schools. The weaknesses and strengths of the pilot implementation will be assessed through ISCTE-IUL's evaluation activities.It is important that teachers be trained about EU citizenship for them to incorporate their learnings into their class syllabuses and teaching materials, and eventually, better educate the youth towards European common values. After the trainings and with the finalized EU Citizenship Training Module, we aim to improve existing teaching modules/materials as well as train participating teachers about:- Social Citizenship in Sociology, Psychology, Philosophy classes; - Economic Citizenship in Mathematics and Derivative courses;- Digital Citizenship in the Informatics and Technology lessons;- Democratic Citizenship in the History and Democracy lessons; and- Cultural Citizenship in Language, Literature, Painting, Music, Physical Education lessons."

    The present project aims to establish a Strategic Partnership under Erasmus+ guidelines for the exchange of Good Practices on the field of narrative practice working with adolescents with fewer opportunities in NGOs from Belgium, Cyprus, Greece, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands and Spain, and in collaboration with research departments from different disciplines of four European universities. This international research cooperation would focused on the design and test of practical applications working with adolescents in the field of narrative practice. The most desirable outcome is to create a common strategy in the field of narrative practice as a result of sharing individual methods. The partner organizations will work together on the development and validation of innovative practices and non-formal educational tools for youth workers, within the theoretical framework of Folk Psychology, Narrative Theory, Narrative Therapy, Folk Narrative, Cultural and Individual Identity, and Intercultural Education. The basic tools and activities designed and developed by the partner organizations, with the assistance of a Panel of Experts, are expected to enhance, guide, and support European youth in their process of identity’s construction. Most particularly, the adolescents participating in this pilot program would be youngsters from six different countries (up to a total of 90), but not exclusively, in situations of poverty and/or at risk of social exclusion. In particular, this endeavor targets the following areas of adolescents´ development and education, that have previously been addressed from different point of views by social initiatives, but in this case from a narrative approach: Intercultural Education of youth; Social Inclusion of young refugees and migrants (whether newcomers or second generation) and minorities; as well as the Prevention of the radicalization and the extremism among European youth.

    << Objectives >>Digital entrepreneurship is defined as a practice of pursuing “new venture opportunities presented by new media and internet technologies” (Davidson, Vaast, 2010). COVID had an enormous impact on traditional entrepreneurship, hence, digital entrepreneurship became the replacement to some extent. By educating vulnerable and unemployed women about digital entrepreneurship and the vast possibilities that the virtual world can offer we hope to reduce economic challenges they face.<< Implementation >>We will organize two adult trainer training sessions (14-16 participants per training), we will collaborate with local regions and the state to distribute this training. A simplified training material about management and digital entrepreneurship will be designed to facilitate the direct training sessions as well as to create an E-book in 4 languages about how to teach to adults or adults to self-teach digital entrepreneurship. We will also design MOOC for open access to aim for wider audience.<< Results >>The above mentioned activities will be implemented; the adult trainers will have received their full trainings to take back to their current and future pupils multiply this training. This project aims to reach a target of more than 100 women in not only the mentioned countries but with the help of our distribution plan, we will be reaching other EU countries; this implies, that the training on MOOC and E-book will be fully accessible to all public via the internet.
