Digital literacy and 21st century skills play a crucial role, because all young people will have to have technological and digital skills & a flexible approach at work for the future and in everyday life.Therefore, the development and promoting quality of diversity youth work is crucial for inclusion in socio-economical environments and promoting digital empowerment allowing greater synergies across all fields of actions concerning young people with special focus on autonomy, participation with active citizenship, notably for those at risk of social exclusion by enhancing critical thinking and media literacy, sense of initiative and promoting entrepreneurship education (EU Rec. Digital Inclusion for a better Europe) . We will develop Diversity Youth worker to be able to empower the disadvantaged young people to take charge of their own life. The Diversity Youth Worker will learn new technical skills such as video-blogging, but also intra/entrepreneurial skills & coaching techniques to enable them to make disadvantaged young people more employable in the future and put ideas into practice; to become active EU citizens. The project tackles also challenges of discrimination and poverty through the aid of video-blogging and facilitation skills developed so that the Youth woker is able to promote diversity, common values of freedom, enhance critical thinking, media literacy & strengthening the sense of initiatives of disadvantaged young people. We will create two training pathways : Diversity Youth Worker and Digital Enterprise. This project will also promote quality youth work by developing youth workers/trainers to engage with marginalised young people & strengthen cross-sector cooperation. They will be able to offer education provision to marginalised young people, that is seen as relevant to their personal development & incorporate new learning methods. It will attract young marginalised people to be involved in education and training as learner. The trainers will enjoy developing practical learning activities as the young people will develop skills and develop sustainable & innovative ideas with new technology. This type of project is only workable in association with partners who have the relevant skills and experiences. This project develops a new approach to strengthen the education and training paths of youth worker by developing the capability to design, resource and facilitate entrepreneurial workshops & citizenship skill development with modern media usage such as video-blogging and coaching methodology that are attractive and educational for young people. The youth workers will gain skills and competencies in innovative training skills for empowering young people and promote active citizenship within young people across different cultures. We will also use Youthpass certification & the EQAVET system which will promote high quality of youth work & training paths. Having built this capacity within the Diversity Youth Workers, they will in turn present national workshops to disadvantaged young people with disabilities, NEETs, migrant background and from deprived or rural areas.The partnership is between organisation which work with youths and also develop professional pathways, there are from: UK, Italy, Romania and Spain. There are 2 target groups: 1. Trainers/Teachers/youth workers/Teachers/trainers/coaches and mentors who work with Young people also from marginalised backgrounds. 2. Disabled Young people (16- 26 year old) mainly from marginalised background which are at risk of isolation. Diversity Youth Worker will have all the skills to facilitate innovative youth work and use technology and digital skills to enhance the offer and programs. Digital Enterprise Facilitator will be able to guide the Young people into adulthood with enterprise and digital skills for integration into the labour market. We will train 12 Diversity Youth Workers and Digital Enterprise Facilitator, and 24 Young people in turn.

Despite a widely held belief that the UK’s vote to leave the EU in 2016 would lead to a fall in immigration, the figures show migration continues to increase in 2019, number of migrants to the UK was 626,000 (2018), a 10% increase (ONS).The EU demography and inequality reports show that ‘The share of population with a foreign background will continue to grow’ in Europe and that ‘Migrants tend to be at higher risk of poverty’ (p. 24) This means that : European societies are becoming more and more multicultural and our future depends on our ability to develop and sustain intercultural dialogue, to build the society of tomorrow. N.Park, the head of the ONS population estimates unit, said the increase in net immigration continued to offset the net effect of a fall in the number of births and rise in the number of deaths. Understanding and accepting cultures and customs of other civilizations is an attitude that each of us must adopt if we want our countries, and Europe as a whole, to be places of economic and social well-being. Intercultural dialogue can become an instrument to identify and anticipate any negative effects of the growing gaps between EU-born and foreign-born people. The concerns with such gaps are that they limit migrants’ & refugees’ abilities to participate in social & cultural life. This can lead to disengagement, resentment and feelings of not belonging in the society. Intercultural dialogue can counteract these feelings by enabling migrants & refugees to make their voices heard in the public sphere and have a meaningful impact on their everyday lives.In Nov.2015, the council of Ministries of Education, Youth, Culture & Sport, stated that the intercultural dialogue through culture and arts developes an important role for the integration of refugees/migrants & improve the mutual knowledge. With this project we will ‘explore the ways arts can help to increase migrants’ participation in cultural & societal life as well as to promote intercultural dialogue & cultural diversity’. ''Creative Arts promoting Equality, Diversity & Social Inclusion '' is a participatory art Project that focuses on digital media , storytelling , creative thinking & drama , is then to involve migrants & refugees in the very design, organisation and implementation process . This project will be coordinated by UK in the partnership of Turkey , Italy , Romania & Greece; also, share a similar past of crossroad, have had experience in migration (in-out coming): it will give 30 youth an opprotunity to be directly involved through training activities in Greece & Italy & 50 indirectly through local activities. During Project life cycle we aim to reach more than a thousand young people with migrant background or refugees.We will through the partnership share and confront an intercultural dialogue and to strengthen the knowledge and acceptance of diversity within society, building resilient processes of empowerment and participation, we will transform challenges into strengths and opportunities bygiving a voice to the outcasts of our society & at the same time reaching out in our communities, fighting fear, prejudices and radicalization. Thanks to the universal language of arts, indeed, we will achieve our main goal that is to promote the inclusion and empowerment of young migrants, refugees & asylum seekers in Europe.The tangible outcomes will be ; a WEBSITE:where the objectives of the project , the outcomes , project activities , videos/photos of the meetings , LTT will be uploaded - Training material from the knowledge of the partnershio: In order to guarantee a good knowledge of the instruments, tools and strategies, the experts of each partner of the project will complete the training contents of the face-to-face training through the provision of more content. In this way, they ensure that the contents that are transmitted are adequate & that the learning is performed correctly and completely, especially with regard to the competences related art & creative workshop management for inclusion. -A '' TRAIN THE TRAINER '' booklet which consists of modules on behavioural issues and A VLOG on which the young people will be able to share their artistic products to improve also digital creativity.By the end of the Project youth will have gained the following competences: - Communication in foreign languages - Digital competence- Learning to learn- Social & civic competences - Sense of initiative & entrepreneurship - Cultural awareness & expression - part of EU Ref.Framework Key Competences.Young migrants and refugees will be empowered through arts and will this provide them with the opportunity to advocate for their rights and their role/position in society, whiles our staff in each partner will share and confront ideas, methods and practises to improve the training offer.Our aim is to enrich the understanding of the common EU values as well as appreciating the origins & acceptability of the diversity within the EU societies.

The applicant taking experience from the “Museum Mediator”, an Empowering programme in the field of art and culture has decided to create a project in which the past experience could be improved and shared. The partnership put into place has been composed of organisations active in the field of art and culture and in the development of empowerment courses and pathways to facilitate learning, empower and employability. The main aim of the project was to work together in order to achieve transparency and recognition of the non-formal skills and qualifications having analysed the variety of pedagogy, methodology and validation systems used. The proposal was built taking in consideration the “Museum Mediator” experience and the UK approach to student-centred learning and work-based learning offering in this way an innovative pedagogical approach to the partner’s organisations. In this way the project has addressed the priority of providing empowerment, promote the use of the work-based technique and provide an occasion to all society groups to keep learning and obtaining a qualification. We have worked together to bring in good/better practices, improve the materials of the Empowering programme and standardise it, with inputs from 6 partners representing 4 EU countries (Italy, Romania, UK and Spain). We are all seeking to enhance the “boost to empowerment” through art and culture to train entrepreneurial skills for IVET students. We wanted to collaborate to design the most appropriate curriculum and pedagogy, using the knowledge and experience of all partners. We acknowledge the different pedagogical approaches of partners/nations, yet also seek to be uniform in our approach.The project has helped strengthen the knowledge, competences and skills of 57 participants who work as trainers or curriculum developers within the partner’s organisation. The objective was to provide them with new and improved skills that would then be used to create new pathways within art and culture to empower young marginalised people, NEETs and unemployed, tackling in this way some of the major issues present in EU. The participants have also better understood the use and value of Europass, ECVET and EQF. The main target groups addressed are: staff of the partner organisations (teacher/trainers/curriculum developer), which will benefit directly from the developments of the project and consequently their target group which is NEETs, Minority groups and students which have shown interest on an empowerment programme.The empowering programme that we desired to share, improve and standardise is based on an empirical approach, offering immediate solutions in work-based learning and to help beneficiaries into active citizenship and consequently into sustainable employment. The partnership has created a creative and innovative activity called “Selfie Hunt” which can be integrated in the empowering courses offering the future participant a new way of acquiring skills and competences. The impact has been the development of a common curriculum which we all own – both as intellectual property and “own” in terms of our commitment to its quality delivery. The project has built and strengthened networks of European providers, enabling them to deliver a standardised empowering through art and culture curriculum, build organisational capacity and collaboratively (there has been further 2 projects created in the KA2 Youth sector/Vet), work towards achieving results that tackle EU's 2020 Strategy and foster CVET learning within the trainers/teachers and create a standardized format of training IVET students to empower them with art and culture (Selfie Hunt Empowement project which develops digital and soft skills).The overall project activities have been broken down into three stage plans representing the collection of collaborative work actions necessary for the achievement of the projected results & outcomes:*1st stage: Preparation & creation of templates, review existing materials, identifying of 4 key to create a useful empowering programme: 1.Team-Building & work2.Problem Solving & Creative thinking3.Student based learning methodology4.Work-based methodology*2nd stage: Improvement phase - Each partner has selected one of the topics which have then been explored and have created guidelines to improve our empowerment courses; *3rd stage: Production of exploration of routes to ECVET certification – identification and selection of ECVET learning outcomes. The identified 4 topics have been explored, the results, skill, competences & knowledge for them were identified in order to create a successful empowerment programme. Our transnational meetings coincided with the deadlines set for the project activities and were vital to complete the project.
