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.
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!
Are you a #CreativeChanger? Contribute in our FB group.
This is a place to connect, share, find good practices, and identify ideas to address challenges from an innovative & creative project management perspective.
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.

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!
At the end of November, the project MILE- Migrants Integration in the Labour market in Europe, funded by the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund of the European Union (AMIF), will be completed. die Berater® stepped in as a new Austrian partner in the transnational project about a year ago.
The project team in the Innsbruck branch of die Berater® took on the task of developing and implementing a programme for 130 migrants that included skills assessment, soft skills training, digital literacy training, job application training and internship placement, working closely with regional integration stakeholders and businesses. Not an easy undertaking in times of pandemic and lockdowns and only a short time window due to the project’s subsequent entry.
In the end, these requirements were successfully mastered, not least due to the intensive cooperation with business, labour market and integration institutions and NGOs in Tyrol. So successfully that now numerous potential participants had to be turned away due to the end of the project.
The project results will be presented at a closing event in Innsbruck on 26 November 2021 and discussed with all interested parties in the context of the integration system in Tyrol.

A direct insight into the experiences of the migrant MILE participants with the Austrian labour market is provided by two Videos we produced.
Digital competences for teachers in vocational education and training are the focus of the project. With the first newsletter you will get a first insight into the project as well as the first project activities!

Creative Virtual Cooperation – Become part of the European initiative!
The EU projects “Creative Change” and “The ONE project” both aim to make cooperation and communication in EU-projects more creative, innovative and thus more sustainable.
If you would like to bring a breath of fresh air into your project management, subscribe to our newsletter or join our community on LinkedIn.
die Berater is coordinator of the project partnership Creative Change – a mixture of adult education organisations and culture-creating and mediating institutions. We want to inspire each other and collect and test new approaches for the management of EU projects. The motto is: Moving away from a strict process orientation towards a human-centred approach! Make room for design thinking and the increased use of creativity techniques in different phases of project work!
Creative Change invites EU project managers from all over Europe to join us on our common journey towards more creativity and innovation. In the project, we are collecting different tools and methodologies and we develop an online Creativity Space to explore and learn about them.

On 9 June 2021, a webinar presentation of the “Hunt for Europe” project was held. The webinar involved our stakeholders, i.e. 40 teachers of the partner countries who will be involved in the test with their students next year. It’s a mix between learning the language and learning aspects of everyday life, customs, and traditions of a country, with a view to total integration, the most important objective of the project.
Read more about the current state of development in our first newsletter.
The project is funded by the “ERASMUS+” programme. Our international partners are: EnAIP Piemonte (Italy), LudusXR (Denmark), Wisamar (Germany), Centre 4 Education (Spain), Vardakeios School of Hermoupolis (Greece), MTU (Ireland).
In everyday care, people from different cultures come together. In their daily work, healthcare staff often have to master challenging situations.
Especially in intercultural encounters, it is different knowledge, different attitudes, reservations, etc. that lead to misunderstandings.
In the Erasmus+ project I-CARE we are developing various materials on the topic of intercultural/transcultural care and making them available to all those working in social and care professions.
Through more intercultural competence, nurses gain more confidence in dealing with diverse patients/client groups. Knowing how to react correctly and concrete tips for dealing with delicate situations contribute to better mutual understanding and thus reduce stress in everyday work. In the end, everyone benefits – patients, staff and not least the entire organisation.

Invitition to a Webinar about Europhobia
We would like to invite you to our MEGA course – An informal and playful way to challenge Europhobia in youth work. The MEGA course is part of the EU project MEGA that has been implemented since February 2020 by six partners from six countries. The course has been developed by the project team over the last months and will now be piloted across Europe. For more information on the project please visit our website: mega.bupnet.eu
The course addresses youth workers, trainers, facilitators and other relevant stakeholders that offer services and training for young people.
The aim of the course is to enable the participants to implement an innovative approach at empowering young people to critically analyse Europhobic distortions of the European Union and to learn to act as “European ambassadors”, i.e. to convincingly spread realistic images of the EU among their peers. Youth workers will learn to identify and unmask Europhobic myths, apply quiz-based learning and produce learning quizzes with and for young people.
We start on 15 June at 17 CET with an introductory webinar. Here you will have the opportunity to get to know the project team and the other participants. We would also like to introduce you to the course concept and launch the e-learning phase. The course will then take place virtually – unfortunately not in Palermo due to Corona. Course days are June 5th, 8th, and 13th, 2021, from 10.00 to 12.30 and 14.00 to 16.30 CET.
If you are interested to join the webinar or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at bridgestoeurope@dieberater.com!
