Disability is a part of human life-condition. Potentially, almost everyone may be temporarily or permanently impaired at some point in life, and people who can survive to old age experience various disabilities in their daily body functions. Around the world, it is estimated that more than 650 million people have some forms of disability. Among them, 220 million are young, whose ages are between 15 and 24. In Europe, there are more than 80 million people suffer from disability and 23 million of them are young. In all societies, persons with disabilities (PWD) often face physical and societal barriers and their disability evokes negative perception and discrimination. As a result of negative stigma regarding their disability, PWD experience restricted mobility more beyond their disability and thus they have become passive and inactive within social life. Inevitably, PWD are excluded from education and employment as well as social life which constitutes a big social problem in all countries.This project aims to propose a partial solution to this crucial social problem; its aim is to promote social inclusion of PWD by means of inclusive sport activities. The focus of the project is on young PWD, whose ages are between 15 and 24, constitute ten percent of European young population. Regular and extensive sport activities (in any branch) can help reduce the negative stigma and discrimination associated with disability because it can transform the prejudice of community against yPWD by highlighting their various skills and promoting tolerance and respect within the society. However, there is an important obstacle for yPWD which prevents their participation to sportive activities. Except for limited specialized areas, almost none of the indoor or outdoor, public or private, sporting or recreational facilities can meet the special needs of yPWD. There are two main sources of barriers to participation of yPWD in sport activities: 1) There is no standards for equipment, programs, and staff, and 2) there is no information on indoor and outdoor, public and private, sporting and recreational facilities, activities, opportunities gained by sport, programmes, staff capacity, yPWD’s abilities and safety conditions.For yPWD, sportive activity is not an option, but a necessity for management of their restricted conditions. In addition to this scientific fact, it gets harder for PWD to participate in physical activity as they get older. Therefore, the importance of participating in sportive activities for young PWD is more pronounced relative to older PWD. Thus, early adaptation of yPWD to physically active life-style is the main focus of this innovative project and yPWD’s specific conditions and needs are given priority. To this end, there are two objectives in this project; the first one is to propose a practical, scientific and well-organised international certification system for standards which assess the suitability of sporting and recreational facilities for distinct types of disabilities (walking-mobility, seeing, speaking, hearing) with respect to equipment, programs and staff, and the second objective is to prepare information packages and construct an online platform.The problem of yPWD is not specific to a particular society or a country, it exists in all regions and countries. Instead of national level, this crucial and complicated problem requires transnational cooperation to reinforce networks and increase the joint capacity to deal with such a significant problem. Therefore, this project aims to develop a transnational strategic initiative which focus on the social inclusion of yPWD by means of inclusive sport activities and suggest a practical method and innovative approach to encourage yPWD to participate in sport activities along with fostering independence of yPWD and enhancing the awareness of society on being disable to reduce discrimination.

"Project ""Inclusion on stage"" is a joint iniative of 4 organizations from Sweden, Poland, Ghana and Kenya. With this project we are going to acquire knowledge and skills to participants about creation, implementation and usage of new, innovative tools based on theatre of the oppressed for efficient inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities.The planed target group in this project are participants that are working with young with fewer opportunities people between age of 18 and 30 (ethnical, religious minorities, with early school leaving, social and economical problems) providing them practical experience of drama and theatre of oppressed methods.This 24-months project aims to create new, innovative methods and tools for social, economical and ethnical inclusion of youth people based on theatre of the oppressed and arrange all of them into open educational resources. Within our collaboration we are planning to implement 2 transnational meetings (kick off in Poland and final evaluation in Ghana), and 4 mobility of youth workers (in every participating country). Between every single phase all partners will be ""testing"" created tools and methods in their local communities. For final products we are going to create: an on-line platform with an innovative course based on theatre of oppressed methods, white board scribbing presenting the main idea behind all tools, sets of 4 ""regional"" reports and 1 general one from ""testing"" phase of activities, brochures from every sinle mobility with detailed description of methods used, youthube channel with tutorials of recorded tools and final project's movie. Every single activity will gather 20 youth workers. All planned objectives of this project are realistic and achievable. All our objectives are SMART Specific.Measurable.Achievable.Realistic.Timebound. Through the realization of the objectives of this project we want to through theatre of the oppressed stimulate young people's spirit of initiative, their ability to think imaginatively and originally, to promote through intercultural facilitation methodology based on theatre of the oppressed transnational non-formal learning mobility between Programme and Partner Countries, especially targeting young people with fewer opportunities, with a view to improving participants' level of competences and fostering their active participation in society, to encourage participants commitment to a more sustainable growth, promotion of way of active social participation and a way to acquire knowledge and skills useful for persons' professional development, to create participant multipliers who will implement the knowledge and skills acquired during this project in their local communities and to increase the capacity of the organizations that are working on the field of empowering youth by theatrical and drama methods. By accomplishing these tasks we ensure that all what is planned in the project will be achieved."

"""Youth power in Entrepreneurship"" (YPE) addresses the identification of existing best practices and the development of support schemes for the extent and develop the competencies of educators and other personnel who support young people on Social Entrepreneurship in partner countries and at the European level. The project will foster the priorities listed through a coherent flow of activities developing across the 18 months of the cooperation and including Transnational Meetings, production of Reports, development and testing of entrepreneurial methodologies in interconnected Blended Mobility of Young people. The project deploys an approach grounded on Non Formal Education (NFE) and learning tackling the gap in basic and transversal skills at the level of ultimate young targets with a view to providing sensitive categories of the young population with the range of basic abilities for a full integration at the level of society and the labour market. The educational methodology will be Non-Formal Education, complemented by the educational use of Urban Needs’ Analysis, Storytelling, Intercultural Communication and ICT as specific interrelated steps in a self-contained programme of entrepreneurial development. “Youth power in Entrepreneurship” pursues the following specific objectives: - Contrasting young unemployment through developing Social Entrepreneurship potential and related soft/transversal skills in low-skilled or low-qualified young people through Urban Needs’ Analysis, Storytelling, ICT and Intercultural Communication. - Researching and comparing existing European good practices of Social Entrepreneurship education of young people through Urban Needs’ Analysis, Storytelling, Marketing and Intercultural Communication. - Producing state-of-the-art Reports outlining the existing landscape of European good practices. - Elaboration of a set of Toolkits and of a comprehensive Format representing a useful practical reference for NGO and stakeholders' operators and entities interested in fostering entrepreneurial development of young people. - Developing a network among organisations experienced in the field of entrepreneurial empowerment of low-skilled and low-qualified young people. The project will have three Transnational Project Meetings - Kick off Meeting (18-19 March), second Transnational Project Meeting (1-2 May) and Final Evaluation Meeting (7-8 October). Also the project foresees the implementation of Young People Blended Mobility in Bulgaria hosted by the partner Champions Factory.Participants in project Young People Blended Mobility will be low-skilled and low-qualified young people aged 18 - 30 years old (10 per partner country) The total number of participants will, therefore, be 40. In M16 and M17 each partner organisation will implement a Dissemination Conference with the involvement of relevant stakeholders in each partner country. “Youth power in Entrepreneurship” purports itself to achieve this far-reaching outcome by mean of capitalising on the potential of non-formal learning and experiential learning as agents of entrepreneurial education, extracting the added value of existing best practices across countries and sectors with a view to releasing educational. Toolkits to be directly tested with ultimate young people targets in the Blended Mobility of Young People and processed in a comprehensive educational Format. Throughout the educational pattern deployed by the project, young people will be supported indirectly enhancing soft and transversal skills (flexibility, planning, teamwork, selforiented learning, creativity, entrepreneurial mindset and skills, digital skills) as well as be supported in developing their schemes of social entrepreneurship initiatives."

In our days, cultural heritage and traditions are at a difficult time, on the one hand they are trying to maintain and recover and on the other face the phenomenon of globalization that is causing the loss of cultural identity from different towns and places, leading to to a universalized culture, where the traditions of oral transmission and through practice (songs, stories, dances, meals, games ...) are increasingly less relevant, conditioned mainly by new technologies and television that invade the last of our corners.The songs, stories, dances, meals, games as elements of popular culture and manifestation of the traditions of a society, fulfill a function of enculturation, preserve and transmit the deep values of popular culture, provide a motor activity in accordance with the characteristics of its practitioners, facilitate social relationships between members of the same generation and between those of different generations and help to preserve traditions of oral transmission and recreational heritage; Considering that they have great value in themselves, there is a need to promote and consolidate these activities that make up our cultural heritage, taking into account their past, present and future.During the last few years are being lost and forgotten customs of the towns, cities and countries, new generations don´t believe in those things that made our ancestors, or not continue the family work and many of them don´t know nothing about games or traditional foods. With this project, we want these things to change, recover and promote all that is our areas. We want to people to take more new skills, learning from other different countries jobs, culture and ways to promote our culture among young people.From a direct comparison with the partners the following needs emerged:We believe that unless we begin to promote and recover our lost traditions will be fast, as new technologies are going strong, this does not mean they are not queire supports both, but we need to unite the two forces.Also older people who have learned a single thing in their life, will be a good opportunity to improve and learn other things in life, increasing their knowledge in different areas and using new technologies in the promotion of knowledge.For this reason we think that this project will help a lot and will create collaboration between generations in order to share and collect ideas, examples from different countries that could be transmited to other young people or countries.Will need to change, recover and promote the cultural heritage in our areas and to transfer this knowledge using the new technologies to the new generations.The aim of the project is the collaboration with adult and young people that they can develop the intergenerational learning between them with promoting and recovering cultures in different countries, exchange of experience and knowledges between this groups and learning about music, culture, traditions, food, and how to transfers from the grandparent to the young people all these things and learn new techniques for the development the skills of the adult people.Objectives:• Share and celebrate the European cultural heritage.• Improve and expand the supply of quality learning personalizations to the needs of adult students with limited skills and less qualified in the digital environment through informal and non-formal learning.• Exchange good practices among professionals.• Train adult educators who can help disadvantaged adults or those at risk of exclusion• Develop educational activities for adults to raise awareness and help protect cultural heritage.• Promote intergenerational learning and subsequent learning in life.• Create a MANUAL with Guidelines for the training of adult trainers in ICT and the recovery of cultural heritage.• Create cooperation and networks of partners at an international and regional level on the intergenerational promotion of Cultural Heritage through ICT.• Observe the role and task of adult education providers on how to use cultural resources to generate employment and income opportunities.Beneficiaries:Adult Educator: will learn how to teach ICT to adult and to promote Cultural HeritageAdult learners: that will get more skills and promote and share their knowledge’s between young people.New generations: That will learn about the traditional things, to use in their life and promote to the next generations.Institutions: Cooperation between organizations trying to promote the traditions and share the good practice in other countries.Results during the project- Manual- Web platform- Theoretical-practical training course for the personnel of the organizations- Training events in each country aimed at adults- Intergenerational acts/ activities to recover and promote cultural heritage- Adult Educators more competent.- Brochures- Newsletter

"Educating New Generations In building a Non-radicalised Environment (ENGINE) is a 24 months strategic partnership for innovation in the field of Youth aimed at empowering youth and social workers/operators who work with young people at risk of radicalisation, equipping them with efficient instruments and methodologies aimed at fostering critical thinking as well as preventing radicalisation phenomenon.“Youth radicalisation and the associated use of violence have become a growing issue of concern in Europe and its neighbouring regions. There has been a notable increase in hate speech, incidence of hate crimes and attacks on migrants and refugees, propaganda and violent xenophobia, as well as a rise in religious and political extremism and in terrorist attacks in Europe and its neighbouring regions. All of these emerging concerns have highlighted the need to work with young people in order to identify and address the root causes of extremism and prevent their radicalisation, as well as strengthen young people’s resilience, prevent marginalisation, promote equality, emphasise alternatives and reinforce the cohesion of communities in which they live.” (Youth Work Against Violent Radicalisation, 2017 – Partnership between the European Commission and the Council of Europe in the field of youth). The publication underlined the limited impact of youth work within the wider social, political and economic context, the lack of in-depth understanding of the phenomena of violent radicalisation, and the need for further training and networking as well as the necessity of devising new approaches to working on the topic.ENGINE will explore the potential of Non Formal Education combined with Forum Theatre and Critical Thinking Methodology as a new pedagogical instrument aimed at preventing radicalisation among youth.The target groups involved in the project will be:Youth workers aged 25+ who work with young people at risk of radicalisation for the Joint Staff;Young people aged 18-25 yo (both locals and migrants) for the Blended Mobility of Young PeopleYoung people aged 13-20 yo (both locals and migrants) for the Local Activities.Youth workers/operators and Trainers for the Local Seminar.Expected results:- Research Report “Educational challenges and best practices to prevent radicalisation among youth” which will be constituted by a) national and international existent best practices regarding Forum Theatre and Media Literacy and Digital Storytelling methodologies b) datas gathered from national focus group sessions with target group and stakeholders. The Report will be made widely visible on project Web Platform and partners' Websites as well as promoted on multiple levels through offline and online means.- “Youth Work preventing radicalisation among young people” Educational format based on a brand new joint educational approach of Forum Theatre, Media Literacy and Digital Storytelling methodologies conceived as a term of reference for stakeholder institutions and NGOs to put in place a specific educational offer aimed at training youth workers and operators working with the youth target. The partners will create a draft methodology of training using the results of the Report “Educational challenges and best practices to prevent radicalisation among youth” and their previous experience and expertise with the abovementioned methodologies.- One International Piloting Joint Staff successfully implemented with the involvement of youth workers/Trainers from partner organizations.The Joint Staff will serve as a testing of the Training Format. Participants to the training will be invited to submit their feedback for further improvement and finalisation of the Format. Outcome of the Joint staff will be the draft of the Toolkit ""“Educational Pathway to Prevent Youth Radicalisation”. The finalised version of the Toolkit will be available in the Web Platform.- One International Piloting Blended Mobility of Young People successfully implemented with the involvement of young people from partner countries. The BMYP will serve as a testing of the Toolkit “Educational Pathway to Prevent Youth Radicalisation” which will be finalised by the consortium after receiving participants feedback. Outcome of the BMYP will be the educational series ""New GenerAction!"" which will be one of the contents of the Web Platform.- Local Activities implemented in each partner country with the involvement of local and migrant youths. During the local activities young people who participated in the BMYP will replicate the learnt workshops acting as New GenerAction Ambassadors.- Local Seminars implemented in each partner country (1 per partner country) with the involvement of 10 youth workers/trainer from other youth associations, NGOs and institutions that will be trained on how to sucessfully exploit project outputs in their activities targeted at young people."
