This context is growing increasingly complex: more languages are being spoken in one single household, home languages are being redefined in both their day-to-day use and as a cultural frame of reference, while other languages are experiencing, either positive or negative, societal pressure.In this process, parents are the prime educators and their basic choices are therefore tremendously important. We are duly aware that this is not an easy task for many multilingual parents with young children or parents-to-be. We are thinking in particular about socially disadvantaged families. Up to date literature or other sources are not readily available to them. These families usually have a migration background sometimes stretching back three or four generations. This is obviously incredibly enriching but every generation thinks and feels differently about home and integration languages. Families with young children have to find their own creative approach in these matters. They also have to ‘justify’ their choices towards others. Other families are refugees who need to reflect on their language choices since they have seen their lives change from one day to the next. What role will home languages play in their new lives and are they considering the possibility of return? How to introduce new languages into the household? Parents are in need of support in making these choices. We want to face up to this task, by providing parents with accessible tools that will enable them to both develop and follow up their own strategies, as well as to communicate them to the outside world.These parents will be our first target group.As a second target group we’ll address practitioners. Young parents are in touch with professionals, often for health care and early education. For migrant parents in a more difficult social situation, these contacts are unique opportunities to be empowered in their language education. It is important that practitioners increase their insight in multilingual education. Often they have some ideas, some conceptions but they are also confronted with the pressure towards the current language policies and more complex diversity between family contexts.The partners involved are: Association for the Promotion of Polish Language Abroad (UK), Stichting Onderwijsadvies (Netherlands), Multilingual Café (France) , UCLAN Cyprus Limited (Cyprus), and Foyer vzw (Belgium). They share the need to develop a better approach for young multilingual parents. We are convinced that these parents have a great potential to support their children and that our tools will sustain them in a learning process to realize their personal objectives. The diversity of groups we’re in contact with will make sure that our outcome will be usable in varied contexts. We want to develop a monitoring process with concrete supporting tools that target three issues in particular. Our aim is to address these issues gradually, so as to integrate them into a learning process:1.Multilingual adults gain insight into important aspects of multilingual child education. This output will result in a film and language portraits based on depth interviews, literature and our experience.2.These young multilingual parents reflect on how they could implement these insights in their own specific context and thus develop their own educational strategies. Here we create a booklet and reminder using a user-centered-design methodology involving our target groups in the process.3.These adults will also be able to communicate their choices and strategies to others. Here a passport will be developed with suggestions on how to use it in communication.A detailed working plan is developed to create and improve the outcome gradually.During the project we’ll involve parents as well as their communities in a process of sensitization about the subject of early multilingual education and this in individual contacts and workshops. Practitioners will be involved as ‘testers’ and in a reflection group. A lot of attention will be paid to impact and implementation.The partners are already aware of the importance to develop the planned content. But we need to be seen more explicit towards other stakeholders for their expertise. So for each of our organizations we want to raise the profile of the organisation: as experts concerning multilingual educations and as supporters towards other professionals and multilingual parents.We wil aim at engaging more stakeholders to support multilingual families and this with an increased insight in the learning process. In this matter, we concentrate on professionals already in contact with multilingual young parents. Finally we wish to engage parents to become active supporters. We want that the parents who go through our process afterwards will motivate other parents and people of their community to take up important issues.

The European Commission calls to prioritise environmental sustainability in members’ education systems. Despite the urgency of the problem, effective programs on climate change are scant. The proposed project aims to develop an interactive digital educational programme, for higher education to promote pro-environmental behaviour and support EU’s Green Deal, as well as its objective to promote digital literacy.<< Implementation >>The project will develop an intelligent educational video selection and content creation algorithm to support the development of an interactive video-based educational platform (IEP), the BTheChange, on climate change. Educational content will be individualised and matched to user preferences resulting in a powerful, appealing and engaging learning experience for the higher education learner. Effective educational videos will be reinforced with impactful learning and behaviour change activities.<< Results >>The project will result in a digital and video-based educational platform delivering a course on climate change for higher education learners. It is expected to promote knowledge acquisition, reinforce pro-environmental attitudes and behaviours. It is also expected to promote participants’ responsible digital citizenship. BTheChange methodology is expected to result in a novel methodology for the development of impactful and thought-provoking digitally delivered educational content.

The 6 partners represent 4 European countries: Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey and Cyprus.TARGET GROUPSEven though the project results may be useful for the wider youth work sector and other educational sectors, the project primarily addresses the needs of the following target groups:-secondary school students-secondary school educators in the sport-related disciplines and teachers in schools with sport profile-regional/local educational authoritiesCONTEXTAcross Europe, there is a broad consensus that entrepreneurial education has a positive impact on the competences, problem-solving skills and employability of students. As a result, entrepreneurial learning is being increasingly integrated into a variety of disciplines, such as engineering and the arts. However, even though sport is taught at all levels of education, it has generally been excluded from these developments. This project is built on the rationale that sport has cultural, social and educational functions that provide plenty of opportunities for innovations and even business. If provided with supporting resources, schools and educators can utilize the enthusiastic student engagement with sport to teach students to identify opportunities, lead others, and develop sport ventures or sport organizations. The combination of sport and entrepreneurship learning in extracurricular activities can thus build students’ transversal entrepreneurial skills and create motivation, passion and awareness to get engaged in business or social activities in the field of sport.OBJECTIVESThe project’s overall objective is to contribute to integrating sport into entrepreneurial learning in secondary schools.The specific objectives are to:-Develop a training program on sport management, coaching and physical education that could build students’ technical and transversal competences for sport-based entrepreneurship and leadership-Develop challenge-based learning tools and WebQuests related to sports-based entrepreneurship to enable a more effective and engaging learning process -Develop methodological guidance for teachers on designing and delivering sport-based entrepreneurial learning.MAIN ACTIVITIES AND RESULTSThe partnership will produce the following intellectual outputs:1. Extracurricular integrated training program on Sport-Based Entrepreneurship and Coaching2. Challenges and WebQuests Toolkit on Sports-Based Entrepreneurship3. Methodological guidelines for educatorsThe following events will be organized during the project:-3 workshops for students-4 dissemination conferences-3 practical sports-based entrepreneurial activities with student participation-5 trainings of trainersEXPECTED IMPACTSAt local level the project targets schools and educators, as well as students themselves. It will raise awareness that school sport activities can be utilized to build knowledge and skills. It will also provide guidance and resources for schools to experiment with the integration of sport into entrepreneurial learning and will train the first cohort of students and educators. The desired long-term impacts are to improve entrepreneurial learning in secondary schools, to facilitate stronger involvement of low-performing students in entrepreneurial learning, to contribute to enhancing graduates’ employability, and to provide new professional development opportunities for physical education teachers.At regional and national level, the project will target regional public bodies responsible for education. The desired short to medium term impact is to improve the strategies for supporting entrepreneurial learning and practical entrepreneurial opportunities through utilizing the multitude of sport activities currently being organized in schools, as well as to promote the use of challenge-based and experiential learning in physical education. The desired long-term impact is to support secondary schools in exploiting the educational impact of physical education and in utilizing sport’s contribution to skills building.

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.euassignment_turned_in ProjectPartners:UCLM, ISOB INSTITUT FUR SOZIALWISSENSCHAFTLICHE BERATUNG GMBH, UBI, EDHEC Business School, UCLan Cyprus +2 partnersUCLM,ISOB INSTITUT FUR SOZIALWISSENSCHAFTLICHE BERATUNG GMBH,UBI,EDHEC Business School,UCLan Cyprus,UNIPA,GRANTXPERTFunder: European Commission Project Code: 2016-1-CY01-KA204-017335Funder Contribution: 272,559 EURARTISAN focuses on improving and extending the offer of high quality learning opportunities that are tailored to individual adult learners’ needs. The project focuses on family members in artisan and agro-tourism family businesses. The family-in-business, includes senior and/or junior members from the family that controls the business and plays a critical role to the survival, continuation, and growth of the family business. Artisan and agro-tourism businesses are firms that produce and/or sell a country’s cultural tradition and products that stem from the country’s tradition. More specifically, the project’s main aim was to develop training programmes, tools, and structures that can help to enhance the entrepreneurial skills and competences of this target group. Past studies showed that entrepreneurship is an area that families in business attribute strategic importance to, and they control this practice as a mean of controlling the strategy and direction of their business. As a result, our project come to fill an apparent need of families-in-business to enhance their entrepreneurial potential and thus their abilities to control and manage more effectively their business and its direction. Thus, we are very niche in our focus, aiming to support the continuation and growth of artisan and agro-tourism businesses (and thus the continuation and enhancement of the cultural component that they carry) through the enhancement of the entrepreneurial skills and potential of family members nested in these enterprises. The choice of the partners was made after careful consideration to ensure that the project would bring together the best possible expertise and knowledge on the topic at hand and would allow the development of realistic and valuable programmes through relevant cross-national collaboration, knowledge inter-exchange, and complementarities amongst the group. The project partners include the following seven organisations from 6 different EU countries: UCLan Cyprus (CY), GrantXpert (CY), Castilla La Mancha (ES), University of Beira Interior (PT), University of Palermo (IT), EDHEC (FR) and ISOB (DE).The project delivered seven key intellectual outputs: •IO1 - State of the art (led by UCLan Cyprus); •IO2 - Empirical Report and Analysis (ISOB); •IO10 - Entrepreneurial training courses and material (EDHEC); •IO5 - Train-the-trainers Handbook and Guidebook (University of Palermo); •IO6 - Casebook (UCLan Cyprus); •IO7 - Entrepreneurial enhancement Web platform (UCLan Cyprus); •IO9 - Final version of Offline and Online Programme (EDHEC). The methodology that was utilised to deliver the intellectual outputs was broken down into a series of steps, involving the following key phases: Review of existing literature & programmes; Research amongst families-in-business; Analysis of primary data; Plan on entrepreneurial training provision; Design of entrepreneurial training plan; and Pilot testing and evaluation. The key activities that the project organised in the context of the execution of the project, include: Project management, Secondary and Primary research and analysis, planning and programme design, translation and localisation of programmes, pilot testing and evaluation, Dissemination and Quality assurance. According to the feedback received during the life of the project, the project had a positive impact on a great number of stakeholders, including the project partner team members and their organisations, main target groups and their respective family businesses, and other organisations and groups, including associations in the artisan/agro-tourism sectors, central and peripheral government tourism/culture authorities. In total 541 people participated in our research stage, 81 people participated in the pilot testing seminars as participants and as trainers, 439 people joined our final dissemination events physically and online and a great number of family businesses and other relevant organisation have been reached during the life of the project through the different dissemination activities that took place.The impact of the proposed project can be of higher value to the national and broader European economy, aspiring to inform policy on how to set the structures for the continuity and strengthening of family businesses in sectors that are critical to preservation and reinforcement of Europe’s cultural tradition. The main target of the project sustainability activities is to continue with a wider implementation of the ARTISAN training programme through customised face to face trainings and through the offering of consulting services to different families in businesses according to their needs.
