<< Objectives >>Project target groups representing some of the group most impacted by the COVID-19, will be accompanied to tell their stories of adaptation and transformation following the pandemic and to build on that to strengthen skills like flexibility, problem solving, coping and creativity using artistic methods.<< Implementation >>The expected tangible results of the MRS project are the lesson plans of three workshops, adapted for the use with thethree target groups, based on different artistic techniques, and all aimed to the development of resilience-related skills. While interconnected and conceived to be used together, the three workshops could also be used independently forshorter and more focused interventions. Partners will also produce a piloted manual and toolbox for the replication of the workshops by adult ed<< Results >>The project expects to support the positive adaptation to adversities of vulnerable target groups through creative methods, to increase the social inclusion of vulnerable target groups significantly impacted by the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, to contribute to the pedagogical research in the field of creative methods applied to adult education, during the project lifespan and during the sustainability period

"<< Objectives >>The general objective of this project is to facilitate the learning of young people with reading or comprehension difficulties who have an intellectual, visual or auditory disability (recognised or not), have cognitive disorders (including ""DYS"") or psychological disorders (recognised or not), are illiterate or do not speak the language of the country.To achieve this objective, we want to train teachers in Easy Read and equip them with practical tools that respect these rules.<< Implementation >>We will produce a guide ""Easy Read drawn"" for teachers. It will contain tool sheets to improve their inclusive teaching practices.To accompany this guide, we will also design with our target audiences, a manual ""Scribbling for better learning"", for students, whether they have comprehension or reading difficulties or not.Finally, we will provide teachers with a turnkey CSR course, respecting the rules of drawn Easy Read.<< Results >>The expected results will be available in 4 languages: English, French, Greek and Polish1- Teacher's guide to Easy Read2- Learners' manual ""Scribbling for better learning3- CSR course in drawn Easy Read4- ½ day event in a school in each partner countryThe expected effects are the professionalisation of teachers thanks to a better knowledge of drawn Easy Read and the facilitation of learning for learners with difficulties."

In the EU, migrants represent 14.5% of the total population living in cities in contrast to 10.2% living in towns and 5.5% in rural areas. The labour market analyses clearly indicate that the proportion of rural employment, which is filled by migrant workers, is gradually increasing over time. Between 2011 and 2017, for the whole EU there was an increase of from 4.3% to 6.5% in the share of migrants in total employment in the agricultural sector, among the Member States with a large population of migrants. Migration in small and rural communities has specific features: for example, among migrants living in rural areas there is a higher share of less educated with respect to natives and to migrants living in other areas and register a higher share of the population in lower income deciles and at risk of poverty. In addition, researches highlight different attitudes towards immigration that can be encountered across cities, towns and rural areas (De Vries 2018). Indeed, while conflicts and hostility towards migrants seems for frequent in small communities, it is also true that in the same contexts these conflicts often turn into solidarity. This continuous transition from conflict to social harmony and vice versa seems to be much more frequent in small-scale societies, where integration and separation show a lesser tendency to crystallize than in urban contexts, with all the risks and potential that this entails (Ponzo, 2017). This project intends to build on the assumption that small communities are more at risk to develop discriminatory attitudes but, at the same time, they have an higher potential to become more inclusive, since in smaller groups it is easier to initiate a process of recognizing individualities which is the best cure to stereotyping, prejudices and discriminations. Also, we will build on the idea that integration is a bi-directional process that, beyond the wishes of individuals, changes both those who move and the society of settlement. While there is usually a stronger focus on migrants, little has been done as a work with the hosting communities (Ponzo, 2017). The CD project intends therefore to promote cultural diversity and inclusion in small and rural societies in two main contexts, the workplace and the community, by involving migrants as much as natives to support a positive, bi-directional, integration process involving employees, employers and common citizens. Specifically, the proposed action aims to contribute to the creation of inclusive working and living environments for people with diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, by developing and testing transformative educational activities using digital storytelling as a key-methodology. Storytelling, is pivotal in facilitating new understandings by connecting diverse lived experiences in order to build a universal culture of solidarity and empathy and affect concrete change to existing systems. The above will be achieved through the following activities:1. A report presenting the state of the art as regards integration of migrants in employment and in the community in small and rural societies and to identify good or promising practices about digital storytelling to promote cultural diversity and solidarity in 5 European Countries.2. A transformative educational programme based on digital storytelling, addressed to employers, owners of small businesses, HR managers and managers, who manage culturally diverse work teams in small and rural contexts3. A transformative educational programme based on digital storytelling, addressed to migrant and native inhabitants of small and rural communities.4. The adaptation of the above-mentioned training programmes so as to be available online5. A Guide to promote cultural diversity and inclusion6. Dissemination and exploitation activities, tools and channels, including the project website, social networks, promotional materials, national multiplier events.The results and the impact of the project at local/regional/national level is that it will improve the knowledge and the competences of 150 employers, owners of small businesses, HR managers, managers on how to deal with a diverse workforce and it will strengthen social cohesion among 200 native and migrant members of small and rural communities. Besides, at least 190 more members of HR and business associations, trade and craft unions, employees’ associations, relevant local, regional and national authorities NGOs, etc. will be equipped with new methodologies and tools so that they can use digital storytelling to support inclusion.

<< Objectives >>We intend to provide youth workers with the skills needed to engage the young persons they work with in research to make it more participatory, action-focused and participant-led, and ultimately more suitable to inform policy-making at all levels of governance. This becomes particularly important when policy, research and practice aim to support at risk of marginalization groups which still largely remain under the radar, such as young carers (YCs), on which the project will focus.<< Implementation >>The project intends to develop, test and disseminate a training programme and methods aiming to upskill youth workers and enable themto contribute to the development of evidence-based policies in support of young carers at all levels of governance via participatory research and policy-consultation mechanisms involving the young people they work with.<< Results >>A) One multi-language (EN-IT-GR-FR), piloted and evaluated learning course of core-competencies needed by youth workers to contribute to research and policy around young carers, together with a guide for its replication by other providers B) A MOOC to reach out to more learners and stakeholders across EuropeC) A co-developed policy reccomendation report on how to promote the engagement of youth workers in policy and research
