Education frequently fails to deliver skills important for employment&life, so that arts and culture should be seen as ”forces” to deliver relevant skills. Traditional teaching&learning collapses across UE becoming obsolete because European societies will be more inter-cultural, flexible and inclusive.In our countries, traditional education system fails as long as generations leaving school become NEETs. Eurostat statistics show that: RO 17,3%, ES 16%, FR 14%, PT 9,5%.Youth work must increase inclusion&narrow gap between competences acquired by young people&needs labour market including by using methods based on arts&culture. Societal&technological changes are transforming what it means to express oneself creatively. Youth are now able to access instruction&inspiration, produce their own content, reach audiences in ways that were impossible before social media advent&affordable technology (Instagram, YouTube etc.). And yet, a fifth of young people aged 16-24 do not create or participate in arts.Partnership transnational assessment pointed out the following needs:- poor access to art&culture for young people in general, for the vulnerable in particular.- youth workers are not enough prepared for creating inclusive settings through arts&multiculturalism. - limited acces to digital resources&tools to foster youth entrepreneurship in cultural and creative domains.Project partners respond with difficulty to these challenges too. Similar needs are highlighted: youth demand to be equipped with transversal skills otherwise they would fail. Failing leads to EXCLUSION throughout their lives. Youth should find different activities&artistic projects to develop their creativity, talents and potential. Experts&youth workers, other key actors need a renewed&fresh approach to be inclusive&supportive for all.AIM:To create a collaborative framework enabling youth workers and other professionals involved in youth work to increase the quality of their work and their initiatives&services for supporting young people (including the vulnerable ones) to develop their creative potential, to have professional&personal success and to be connected to the cultural and creative sectors through Arts&Creativity Programs and an entrepreneurial mindset.OBJECTIVES:O1. Creating at least 4 innovative resources (methodological&pedagogical resources) to support quality work, practices&activities for innovatively stimulate new settings that support youth in higher competences on labour market&social inclusion through arts&culture in 4 countries/at european level.O2. Providing support for more real-world applications, trans-disciplinary inclusive learning environments that stimulate at least 2 transferable competences of 21st Century (creativity, entreprenuerial mindset) of youth in a larger context of community (arts, culture, digitalizations, social trends, creative sectors).TARGET GROUPS:- Youth workers, as well as other experts involved in youth work.- Youth NGOs/NGOs with programs for vulnerable young people&informal groups to adopt a flexible approach to support youth inclusion through arts, culture related education, talents capitalizing.- youth at risk (unemployed, NEETs, facing economic, social barriers, disabled youth etc.).- Resource centers for young people&volunteers.- Public authorities with youth focus.CORE RESULTS - 4 complex IOs: a) IO1 - ”Out of the Box” – Digital Cards for developing Creativity using STAR Technique.b) IO2 - ”Connected2smARTS” – as a virtual space where young people can freely collaborate with other people from any domain of arts. They can interact, connect and create own artistic stuff around transversal themes of humanity (as Inclusion, Solidarity, Love, Participation, Tolerance, Life etc.).c) IO3 - ”Youth workers - let’s be smARTS” - a digital kit for planning, developing&implementing Arts&Creativity Programs using digital tools.d) IO4 - ”Social Entrepreneurship for smARTS” – a Training Pack with 5 modules (as OER – Open Educational Resources) developing abilities so important for running a successful social business in arts and creative sectors by youth.Entire project outcome - it gives an impetus to youth&youth worker&NGOs to adopt and use high quality&innovative tools in their work, progressively redefine the boundaries between formal, non-formal and informal learning of youth using the tools&methods based on Arts&Creativity.Project period - 24 months. Federation for Accessibility of Romania is lead partner. Consortium consists of:- ACE-ES Romania- Fundación COREMSA, Spain- Embaixada da Juventude (Youth Embassy), Portugal- Tous pour l'Europe, France.

"The world has already entered a new reality, in which human potential is the main agent that stimulates economic and social growth and inclusive communities. Adults with disabilities have a major potential as members of society, but also as agents of change. Inclusion requires the adaptation of adult education to meet this potential of people with disabilities. The environment, teaching and learning, adult education providers will be systematically changed to remove barriers to students with disabilities so that they can maximize their achievements. NGOs with and for people with disabilities, adult education and employment services and other institutional actors in this field face a major NEED - the lack of educators and the training of support staff to support INCLUSIVE education and PERSONALIZED learning.Project partners have constantly faced challenging contexts related to adult learners with disabilities (where traditional pedagogy is no longer relevant or inclusive) and have common needs: educators and support staff need flexible skills as well as a portfolio. of effective pedagogical practices, methods and tools to support, involve and stimulate adults with disabilities. In addition, reports, research, studies in the field (and during the 2 years) were consulted which showed that it is essential that strategies and practices be individualized and respond to the specifics of students regardless of their deficiencies and regardless of their abilities.AIM projectThe UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities - UNCRPD is the most important legal, multidisciplinary and collaborative framework that supports increasing the quality of work of adult education practitioners and their initiatives and services to adapt to the needs of adults with disabilities, addressing non-discrimination and inclusion. promotes access to training and employment.Specific objectives -9 Intellectual Resources created in the project wereO1 In activity O1 / A4: The development of ""ALL IN"" as a virtual bank of resources, contains 5 practical resources (OER) based on INTERDISCIPLINARITY to increase the quality of initiatives and services of educators and other practitioners in adult education to be highly adapted to the needs specific needs of adults with disabilities.1. Resource 1: Human-centered design (DT) thinking guide.2. ""Inclusion needs analysis"" (training and development).3. “Empathy. Emotional & Social Intelligence Educator’s Friend ”is a set of tools for trainers, educators, etc.4. Practical guidelines on different intelligences and learning styles.5. ""IMPACT for the education of adults with disabilities"" - partnership models and methods have been created.6. Development of the ""READY4LABOR MARKET"" (RLM) as a support manual for educators, mentors, professional counselors with 2 main elements:a) READY 1 package - Ready4Soft Skillsb) READY 2 Package - Ready4Social Entrepreneurship .7. Development of a board game - READY Boardgame called “Ready4Impact” as an innovative online pedagogical game to be used by educators / mentors in their work with adults with disabilities for the practical learning of starting a social enterprise. 8. The tool was created for people with disabilities in human resources for human resources managers, career counselors, educators, work mentors, employers, etc. and jobs. It provides inspiration and guidance to adult education centers, employment agencies, companies on promoting their accessibility and inclusion policies and initiatives, especially in the light of the legislative framework of the UN Convention.9. The Manifesto ""Help Practitioners Succeed in Achieving Inclusive Adult Education"" is created - as a European policy recommendation document.The target groups addressed was educators, trainers, training and human resources managers, coordinators, professional counselors, social workers, mentors, experts who have acquired new skills and attitudes, new creative and inclusive practices to provide services according to the needs of people with disabilities to improve access, participation and learning outcomes.The long-term impact of the project on the employment of people with disabilities is appreciable, because the project, through its resources, leads to the transfer of knowledge in the social field between practitioners and PWD.The main finding is that knowledge transfers have the greatest positive impact on practitioners but also PWD in both the short and long term. The impact of knowledge transfers through intellectual products developed in our project is positive, significant, while the effect of the DT guide, manual, Ready4Impact game and HR Disability Tool is already measurable, through the interest shown in these IOs in the online environment. As for Manifesto, this is a new starting point for the decisions and documents that will be developed by the European Commission, regarding overcoming the barriers that stand in the way of PWD employment."
