The second call for Proposal has important submission deadlines in March. Calls in CERV, AMIF Interreg and Horizon are also upcoming. So: project-making time again!

We are keen on discussing with you new project proposals, especially around our thematic priorities:

Welcome to GROOVE!

The ERASMUS+ project GROOVE (DiGital tRansfOrmatiOn of the Vet sEctor) has just started. VET is an integral part of education providing lifelong learning systems equipping individuals with skills responding to the needs of the economy but also with skills important for personal development and active citizenship. The European Commission emphasizes the need of VET to become more fit to the digital age since VET will play a crucial role in helping people to find jobs after the Coronavirus crisis.

Therefore, the GROOVE project aims to build the capacity of VET providers/trainers to digitize, modernize their practices and build the low-skilled adults’ digital literacy skills and fill the gap between the demand for, and supply of, a digitally competent workforce through adjusting the VET sector to become more resilient to rapid technological and labour market changes

DigiVET

DigiVET is an Erasmus+ project that develops and implements e-learning resources for the VET sector. The main aim is to strengthen the competences of teachers and VET professionals in the design of e-learning. Maren Satke, (die Berater) has summarised in an article how the person-oriented perspective must be taken into account when creating online learning.

Creative Change – More Creativity for EU-funded Projects

How do you bring more creativity into EU-funded projects? By learning from creative people! The EU project “Creative Change” combines person-centred methods from adult education and culture. Through exchange, we want to learn from each other and thus bring more innovation and creativity into our projects. Interested in ideas and inspiration? Join the Creative Change Space on Facebook!

This is a place to connect, share, find good practices, and identify ideas to address challenges from an innovative & creative project management perspective.

What is The Creative Change Space?

This is one of the 3 project´s outputs which will result into a platform, a virtual environment for all those interested in learning and exploring innovative, and creative ways in project management. It will include learning resources as well as networking opportunities among EU-Project managers in the context of adult education.

Culturally sensitive care: I-CARE project piloting starts

The training materials for the project “I-Care – Culturally Sensitive Care in Social and Health Care” are ready – so nothing stands in the way of the test run! In cooperation with Volkshilfe Upper Austria and Senecura, we are piloting the training materials on the topic of intercultural competence in social and health care.

What does cultural diversity mean in social and health care? What challenges does it bring with it, what opportunities can organisations and professionals use for their everyday work?  The I-CARE training includes eight learning modules on various topics of intercultural competence: How does cultural awareness develop, what pitfalls lurk in intercultural communication? What do I need to know about different traditions and customs that can affect everyday care?

With the health facility Senecura and Volkshilfe Oberösterreich, we were able to win partners for the piloting of the I-Care trainings in Austria. From January to the beginning of February, training sessions will take place in which professionals from senior care and mobile care will train their intercultural competences.

The I-CARE project team is looking forward to an interesting exchange and feedback on the developed materials!
