Updates from our LLCC-project
After almost a year, the project Language Learning through Culture and Cooking (LLCC) has entered a key phase when it comes to the successful implementation of this new and innovative EU-funded project. It tries to combine the topics of language learning, cookery and intercultural dialogue creating a totally new training programme.
Right now, the project partner’s from six partner countries are working on the development of new training materials that will be tested on our first transnational training in January. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we will organise this event with trainers from all partner countries as an online format.
We are looking forward to further developing this interesting project where we try to make language learning more innovative!

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought ageism into the national debate. We’ve seen prominent journalists arguing that a ‘cull of the elderly’ could benefit the economy, sparking necessary debates about attitudes to older people. The horrifying situation in care homes, and the extremely difficult situation facing many older people who are self-isolating, has opened many people’s eyes to the ageism that is rife in our society.
The I-CARE project wants to address these important questions, and the first step to gaining a better understand of the context is to listen to the people directly involved.
e-VIVA stands for “Enhancing and Validating service related competences in Versatile learning environments in Western BAlkan Universities” (e-VIVA).

Our EU-funded project COMMIT (“COMMunIcation campaign against exTremism and radicalisation”) helps to prevent young people (between 13 – 25) in 4 EU countries from extremism, radicalism and terrorism, providing them with skills relevant to co-create counter narratives challenging extremist online propaganda and alternative narratives through promoting democratic values, tolerance and cooperation.
On 9 April 2020, the environment ministers of 13 EU Member States stressed that Europe must not forget about the persistent climate and ecological crisis when defining its response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is clear that the coronavirus has had an impact on climate actions and the European Green Deal.
