Auf der internationalen Ebene beteiligen wir uns aktiv als Koordinator oder Partner an Europäischen Projekten im Rahmen verschiedener EU-Förderprogramme.
In diesen Vorhaben geht es wesentlich um die Entwicklung und Erprobung innovativer Produkte, aber auch um den grenzüberschreitenden Erfahrungsaustausch und Know-How-Transfer sowie die Vernetzung von Aktivitäten und Institutionen. Das breite Themenspektrum umfasst die Bereiche Bildung, Beschäftigung, Soziales, Gesundheit, Kultur, Integration, Regionalentwicklung, Justiz, Forschung & Entwicklung sowie Umwelt & Energie.
Nach einer durch die Pandemie bedingten Verlängerung und einer Pause in der Zwischenzeit geht das Projekt BG2D nun langsam zu Ende. Das finale Treffen ist für den 29.09.2021 geplant. Es wurden einige vorbildliche Vorgehensweisen zur Verringerung der digitalen Kluft für Senioren gefunden, und das Weißbuch wird im Moment zusammengestellt. Durch die Covid-19 Situation hat sich auch der Blick auf die Vermittlung von digitalen Kenntnissen für Senioren deutlich geändert - es gibt einen erhöhten Bedarf und stark erhöhte Aufmerksamkeit für diese Problematik.
The pandemic of COVID-19 has a significant impact on the mental health of the European population. Social restrictions, a sense of uncertainty for the future and the spread of terrifying news have affected youth, increasing their level of anxiety, stress and depression. In particular, youth living with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other mental health disorders experienced a greater increase of anxiety because of an abrupt change in their daily routine, the difficulty of access to therapy and special education services. In most cases, parents have become their only caregivers.
We live in a tech-driven world where school plays a strategic role in preparing the younger generation to the new digital and technological society. From the schoolteachers’ point of view there are two main challenges to face: to spread relevant digital competences among learners and teachers and, to transform learning and teaching approaches in order to include data literacy competences in school curricula.
Despite the increased role of digital curation tools and platforms in the daily life of social network users, little attention has been paid to the competencies and dispositions that Educators and Trainers (and adult learners) need to develop in order to effectively use digital technologies to curate learning content for themselves and others. Adult Educators are increasingly confronted with the challenge of creating and managing digital content to enhance learning effectiveness.
The IMAGES (I Manage and Empower My Skills) project aims to support managers of third sector not-for-profit organisations to identify their skills and further development needs, and provide them with opportunities to develop their competences in a way that is useful to their organisation, as well as create opportunities to transfer their competences from one EU Member State to another.
