    Funder Contribution: 250,000 EUR

    "<< Objectives >>The primary aim of the project is creating architectural history and cultural heritage awareness, especially for multilayered cities, by establishing bonds with city's past and its inhabitants through innovative, hybrid, learner-based approaches, by particularly using techniques of gamification and digital storytelling. By implementing it, we want to change the mindsets of our students as well as the whole public starting from the underrepresented groups, in an effective and sustainable way.<< Implementation >>We will firstly design a new course called ""Palimpsest Cities"" on architectural history and cultural heritage conservation, by applying novel education approaches, with the complementing skills of the partners. Then, we will make implementations at our universities and at local level, targeted particularly to youth and children. We will test the success of this approach with qualitative and quantitative evaluations to improve the quality of the course and provide a guide for future adaptations.<< Results >>We expect to have significant improvement in architectural and cultural heritage awareness, stronger bonds with the city for everyone, and better protection of our built environment. We also believe that this project and its implementations would open a new path both in architectural education and heritage conservation, with its original, interdisciplinary approach putting learners into an active role, and create strong synergies in academia, NGOs and local bodies with its inclusive character."

    Due to COVID-19 organisations across Europe have had to make rapid changes to how they operate accelerating their digital transformation which is filled with a promise of new occupations and improved quality of life for all but also points towards the risk of widening the skills gaps and greater inequality. Whilst increasing rates of youth unemployment of 14% across Europe (Statista, 2020) remains a challenge at the same time businesses of all types and sizes are struggling to fill a wide range of technology roles that are critical for future growth.The EU Digital Skills and Job Coalition confirms that 37% of EU workers have insufficient digital skills and there are clear signs that the digital skills gap is widening. By 2022, there could be almost 500,000 unfilled digital technology jobs in Europe. On the other hand, young people are described as “digital natives” with an almost instinctive skill for digital mastery. Unfortunately, young people believe they are ill-equipped to navigate the new economy and to understand the skills needed for the future, digital jobs. There is also a significant mismatch between the career aspirations of young people and reality of the jobs market due to misinformation and a lack of high quality career advice which needs to be elevated by showcasing information about future roles. The World Economic Forum Reports 2018 on Future of Jobs stresses the importance of VET career advisors in preparing young people to become the new agile learners in future workforcesby providing a high quality career advice that is essential to personal and economic wellbeing. Finally, in the light of COVID-19 the career guidance provision is becoming even more crucial and there is a need for a digital platform that can assist VET career advisors to provide a high quality career provision featuring the future digital job trends. The partnership of Our Digital Future is a response to the above described challenges and the partnership focuses on working with:The Our Digital Future project will be working with the following target group:- 80 VET career advisors working at VET institutions who provide group and individual career sessions online to young people - 16 Experts (scientists, policy makers, start ups, businesses) currently specialising in the emerging, digital jobs within space exploration, alternative energy consultancy, 3D printing oforgan/body part creation, food technology, robotics, cyber security, virtual reality design and artificial intelligence development.- 40 Other VET stakeholders and decision makers who are in position of the influence in relation to the future emerging jobs and can shape the importance of high quality career adviceand guidance.The key outcomes of the project are:- Contributing to the initial and continuous professional development of VET career advisors by providing them with an accessible information to strengthen their understanding of the futuredigital job trends in the labour market within 8 innovative sectors- Supporting the uptake of digital practices for the teaching by supplying VET career advisors with a set of resources on a digital platform and an app to deliver group and individual career sessions online featuring the future digital job trends.- Creating an opportunity for VET career advisors to exchange innovative practices with each other and share digital tools- Raising awareness among other VET stakeholders and decision makers about the future emerging jobs and the importance of relevant career advice.For that reason, Our Digital Future partnership will collaborate to create a set of innovative practices:- 32 visual infographics showcasing key trends, skill requirements, job profiles in relation to the new emerging, digital roles across Europe within 8 innovative sectors from spaceexploration to artificial intelligence development- 16 video interviews with experts and professionals specialising in the digital emerging new roles across Europe accompanied by 16 lesson career advice plans incorporating the videos andpromoting the 8 innovative sectors- 1 digital platform and 1 app with set of digital functionalities: creation of login/avatar, interactive content display, a virtual networking room.Our Digital Future project contributes to the EU Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition's pledge as the intellectual outputs created within the project are promoting the acquisition of digitalskills amongst Europeans and the project implementation will result in:- raising an understanding about future digital jobs- increasing the professionalism of provided career advice by VET career advisors to young people in an online format- influencing educational systems to develop future talent to match the needs of employers and digital economy- boosting interest and capacity of VET career advisors to promote digital future jobs

    << Background >>Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing the EU. Global warming can contribute to extreme weather events (floods, droughts, rainstorms and heatwaves), forest fires, water availability problems, melting glaciers and rising sea levels, changes in geographical distribution, extinction of fauna and flora, plant diseases and the spread of pests, food and drinking water shortages and the migration of people fleeing these threats. Environment and climate action are now - and will be in the future - key priorities for the EU. In December 2019, the European Commission unveiled the European Green Deal, a package of measures to raise the ambition to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and decarbonising the EU economy by 2050 in line with commitments under the Paris Agreement. For this mission to be successful, coordinated action is needed on many levels, especially among young people and educators. Current levels of environmental awareness and knowledge about environmental sustainability are insufficient. At the same time, ecological trends and the desire to explore the subject are becoming more and more popular. This shows that projects such as Green Team are needed and will be positively received.The consortium selected ten key sectors connected to the area of ecology. Knowledge about them will be the main topic of the manufactured products of the project. These are: 1. Carbon footprint 2. Climate literacy 3. Renewable energy 4. Biodiversity 5. Water management 6. Food and farming systems 7. Transport and pollutions 8. Sustainable consumption and ecological behavior 9. Environmental protection 10. Recycling and biodegradation. To achieve the above, it was decided to take the following actions and create products:IO1 - Creation of an innovative MOOCIO2 - Workshop program development - teaching materialsIO3 - Testing & implementation of workshops and platformIO4 - Development of teaching guides for educatorsIO5 - Case study videoIO6 - Creation of an innovative e-learning platform<< Objectives >>The overriding goal of the project is to increase the competence and knowledge of ecology and environmental sustainability and to increase the possibilities of engagement in future areas and sectors of the labor market related to climate and sustainable development.
