Europe is experiencing one of the most significant arrivals of migrants and refugees in its history. As the number of migrants entering Europe rapidly increases, their cultural integration and inclusion in European societies becomes a priority. Bearing in mind that integration is a two-way process, the progressively increasing multicultural character of EU societies demonstrates the need to introduce intercultural education programmes that recognise and effectively support diversity, promote mutual acceptance and respect, while combatting racism and xenophobia. Against this backdrop, supporting the efforts of EU member states to help integrate migrants and refugees into Europe's education systems and ensure their skills development is an urgent and demanding task. Its success is dependent on the educators and teachers, who should be appropriately trained to have a deep understanding of basic concepts of culture and intercultural communication, as well as the historic and contemporary international context. This would enable them to develop an inclusive curriculum and integrate intercultural citizenship education so that they can foster interculturalism and avoid archaic educational practices that cultivate monoculture, othering and stigmatisation. To achieve this, as well as the wider challenge of migrants' cultural integration, this project will design a programme for adult educators working with migrants. For this purpose, the project partners will: a) investigate the status quo regarding migrant integration policies, existing programmes and training structures on intercultural training for migrants and educators in partner countries; b) compare and analyse the results of this investigation to develop a needs analysis for intercultural education of trainers; c) develop an internationally competitive modularised training curriculum with qualification standards specialised for Adult Education (EQF Level 5); d) produce a handbook for trainers, which will include learning outcomes, a theoretical framework of basic concepts and the training package itself which will include practical exercises and, where possible, case studies. At the beginning of the project , a database of stakeholders in every partner's country will be created which will include actors related to the project aim; experts in AE and intercultural education, migration centres providing training, other interested parties etc. The main activities of this project are: Research on intercultural education; Partners will collect data on existing training programmes designed for migrants and their cultural integration and will point out the needs for updates or the development of new material. Curriculum development; A Curriculum on intercultural education and training for Adult educators will be developed based on O1 and O2 results. Development of training materials; The objective is to elaborate a set of sample training materials organised in modules and divided into topics Development of a MOOC, where the training materials will be uploaded and adapted. Implementation of a JSTE; Through the JSTE the partners will test the formerly developed curriculum and training materials, will provide feedback on activities and make eventual changes before the final output. A Training guide and a course syllabus with final material and useful information and tips will be made available to Adult educators and all interested parties. Monitoring, evaluation and dissemination; Valorisation activities aim to ensure the widest possible dissemination of objectives, the work and outputs of the project. During the project, the partners will raise awareness of the use of intercultural training techniques in adult education. The project will therefore have a direct impact not only on adult educators and staff involved in the project, but also on the wider target group of adult educators and newly arrived migrants receiving intercultural training focused on the host countries. The integrative nature and the professional relevance of the materials and methodology will also have an impact on the motivation of newly arrived migrants to learn about the culture, customs and everyday life in their host countries. The outcomes of the project in all its forms will be disseminated and exploited with a view to maximizing their value and impact. The feedback provided by end-users will ensure that the results will be relevant to target groups and will therefore encourage their use. The developed training programme can be easily adapted and tailored to changing needs. The curriculum can also be used as a teaching and learning aid for other institutions as it focuses on certain topics which can be re−organized according to the needs of different contexts. The course could also be transferable to other educational sectors and that guarantees the sustainability of project results and the project network.

<< Background >>The new Digital 2020 reports – published by Hootsuite – show that digital, mobile, and social media have become an indispensable part of everyday life for people all over the world.More than 4.5 billion people now use the internet, while social media users have passed the 3.8 billion mark. Nearly 60 percent of the world’s population is already online, and the latest trends suggest that more than half of the world’s total population will use social media by the middle of this year.Yet social media are very controversial, especially when used as a means of information.Social media hides pitfalls and dangers, such us*data privacy violations;*fake news;*social networks lower the IQ. It is no coincidence that there has been a lowering of the IQ from 2009 onwards, or rather with the advent of social media.The project addresses these issues.<< Objectives >>General Objective:Contribute to making digital a place that promotes culture, correct information and critical, constructive and dialoguing thinking;Specific Objectives:*reduce the time spent on social media by promoting more correct navigation;*Develop among adults an aptitude and a culture of correct information through for example digital newspapers or magazines or other accredited sources.<< Implementation >>OFF-LINE consists in the following activities:1. creation of an educational OER platform easily usable to Low Skilled adults (range 35-65) dedicated to the creation of specific paths to acquire digital skills useful for correct navigation;2. Creation of a Repository of Cultural Resources and a self assessment tool to measure a cultural aptitude;3. Creation of training course in digital skills strategic in order to browse on relevant cultural sites;4. Creation of a Vademecum for Slow navigation<< Results >>OFF LINE is designed to work towards SMART OUTCOMES:* decreased Ignorance decreased among adults;* Guided adults towards correct navigation in particular towards more cultural contents*developed an attitude and a culture of correct information among adults through, for example, newspapers or digital magazines or other accredited sources:*developed basic and transversal skills among adults such as digital skills and multilingualism;*decreased connection time in social media;

"The Project “ Play and Talk with Me”, corresponding to Program ERASMUS+, key activity 2 Section / Strategic Partnerships supporting the exchange of good practices: School Exchange Partnerships/ deals with cooperation in exchange of techniques, strategies, good practices in early language education. The realization of young people nowadays depends mainly on the knowledge of foreign languages. The problem this project addresses is of great importance not only in partner countries but also in many others outside the partnership as it affects thousands of pupils, their teachers and families, support staff - not only academically but also in emotional, behavioural and social aspects. The capacity of CSPD does not allow the achievement of the goals set in the project, which necessitated the creation of this consortium. The consortium is made up of four European organisation from Bulgaria, Spain, Finland, Hungary and Turkey . The project partners are equipped with the necessary skills, experience and competence to achieve the highest level of the project objective. This project will introduce the innovative approach in education, will improve the quality of teaching the English language; different forms and methods of teaching, using different technologies, would be examined, both in the kindergarten and in the first grade. The Project has two main lines: the first is oriented towards the teachers, the seconds towards the children 5-7 years, also bilingual and minority children. The leading method for achieving this goal is the suggestopedia and the other methods are based on the creative and free-thinking of children in English and system by which they are taught: “Play and talk with Echo” follows the ideology “easy and simple” – learning through fun and action. Supporting the two main lines, we shall realize our first priority – to give the children the opportunity of qualified, innovative and creative education, which would be realized not within the limits of our educational system only but a multicultural directed one, realized through “ Live connections” amongst the foreign language schools of the party countries. All activities will be aimed at exchanging experience between institutions with the same focus as ours for better multicultural cooperation. All the activities are directed towards the necessities of the teachers and the students. In the process of teaching and exchanging experience, with colleagues from other European countries, the teachers will upgrade their professional qualification, acquire innovating methodology, develop their creativity, and will improve their personal competence, which will result in initiating of ways and instruments of teaching. The whole will result in a rise of the quality of the education. The project would be realized within a period of 24 months. Teachers who have participated in mobility will train the other teachers in order to share the experience they have gained. And they will make an open pedagogical situation in which they will incorporate elements of new knowledge. Parental involvement will increase students' interest and motivation to learn English. The activities envisaged and the products that will be created as a result will contribute to enriching the creative experience and creativity of teachers in English, will improve their communication with colleagues from different countries, will stimulate free teacher's thinking towards an innovative learning process. The expecting result is:- Review and analysis of good European practices related to early language learning as suggestopedia in English, teaching methods of bilingual children, development of multiple intelligence through English in early age;- Sharing and implementing them in the lessons;- Assess the needs of educational institutions to support early language learning';- Development of didactic materials for practical work and involvement of a number early language learning activities and organization and holding of sports and English competitions and holidays as Christmas celebrations ""Jingle Bells"";- Testing of the experience gained;- Involve teachers in training courses and project activities, in general, the annual plan of the educational institution;- Dissemination of results, information on activities carried out and events on websites, social networks and local media;Information campaign, including preparation of flyers with information promoting the project, notebooks, pens with the logo of the project and other promotional materials for the participants and invited to the organized events, prizes for the children, participants in the planned concerts and events;The materials developed within the partnership will be in partner languages and English, making them accessible to a much wider audience beyond the partner countries, which will greatly increase the impact of project result."

<< Background >>Education institutions are among the most influential elements of implementing concepts of sustainability and sustainable development and their decisions affect the economic, social and environmental dimensions of the communities and regions around them. Society expects them to educate the youth and contribute to the society. Still there is no clear understanding how to integrate sustainability into the systems, no guidelines to action, no checklist that would be equally helpful for all VET or could be applied across the board by all. Institutions are too different in terms of their legal form (private or public), location (rural or metropolitan) or size (small and specialised or large offering a full range of faculties).<< Objectives >>The aim of the project is to make the research and overview on the good practices within European VET schools, prepare the guidelines on innovative teaching methods and staff and students' systemic engagement activities and platform for the experience sharing and contribute to the environment and climate change activities in European Union and beyond.The objectives of the project are:1. To motivate and empower people via new training and engagement opportunities in the field of Sustainability.2. To provide innovative solutions , teaching methods, research and practice to target groups, staff, teachers and learners of Vocational and Adults Education;2.
