Welcome to the first issue of the Generativity: manage it! project newsletter.
The newsletter provides information about the Erasmus+ funded project Generativity: manage it! which aims at fostering the social sector’s ability to develop and implement European projects, particularly focusing on Project Cycle Management. The project addresses social sector actors who run daily interventions in the social field: services supporting persons in a situation of homelessness, refugees, migrants, organizations in the education, mental health, disability and training areas.
All the staff and organizations of the Generativity project are proud to launch the online version of the six training modules on Project Cycle Management in six languages: English, Italian, Polish, Greek, Dutch and French.
The modules cover all the fundamental issues to lead you through a learning path to Project Cycle Management.
These are the main topics:
module 0: introduction to generativity of new effective and sustainable project with the method of Project Cycle Management
module1: financial & programmatic priorities of the EU2020 strategy within various programs
module 2: how to structure an innovative and sustainable project idea
module 3: building an international, national, local partnership
module 4: submission procedures according to the guidelines of the European Commission
module 5: implementation, evaluation, valorization, dissemination, exploitation of project results
It was a great effort for us to implement the modules, and we are proud of the results which we achieved. In the next weeks we will finalize the modules in order for you to freely download them straight on your IT devices.
By offering them online, we take the opportunity to greatly thank all the professionals and the partner organizations that have worked on the implementation of the training modules for their great and valuable work of sharing their skills. A special thanks to the students of the University of Thessaly who tested our work.
Now it is your time: read the modules, and learn how to develop an effective and sustainable project!
To be informed on the forthcoming learning and training results of the Generativity project, please register on the “how to collaborate” link on the project website.
Our team would like to thank all schools and students that have participated in our robotics and coding workshops and took place in schools the past months. Students had the opportunity to interact with educational robotics kits and program with the use of laptops and tablets. Students were really enthusiastic! We are looking forward to implement even more workshops to students in 2018!
CARDET in collaboration with MICROSOFT has implemented 70 workshops on coding to primary schools all over Cyprus. More than 1100 students from 19 schools have participated in our workshops having the opportunity to learn what coding is and gain a deeper understanding. Students had the opportunity to interact with the famous game ‘Minecraft’ and successfully passed all 12 levels of the game. Feedback was impressive, since students really enjoyed their participation to the workshops and this great opportunity they had.
The QUALIFY project, funded by the Erasmus+, aims to revolutionise professional guidance and explore coaching as a tool to support low-skilled unemployed people to reflect on blocks and obstacles to their decision making, identify patterns of behavior from the past that may impact future choice and work as catalyst in helping them define their own way forward. The project will implement a specialised training for guidance practitioners (private/public) to become Career Coaches as well as provide them with useful complementary ICT tools to support their daily practice, empower und up-skill low-skilled unemployed adults
Το δεύτερο ενημερωτικό δελτίο για το πρόγραμμα ENGAGE είναι έτοιμο. Διαβάστε το έργο, τι έχει επιτύχει μέχρι στιγμής και τις επικείμενες δραστηριότητες για τη στήριξη των μεταναστριών ως ηγέτιδων ενσωμάτωσης στις κοινότητές τους.
In a follow-up event held on June 14, 2018, a similar event was held addressing practical recommendations and actions that need to be taken with regards to the challenges and opportunities arising as a result of the revolution.
In both events, the international think tank CARDET was asked to present its views, related projects, and participate in round-table discussions on the impact of new technologies on education and the labor market. Members of the parliament, policy-makers, experts, academics, NGOS, and other stakeholders participated in the conversations.
Ms. Anna Diamantopoulou, President of the Network for Reform in Greece and Europe (http://todiktio.eu) stated at the opening remarks that Cyprus could set a new vision (Megali Idea) to be a leader in the region on digital technologies and related services. She cited as an example Estonia, which can serve as a good case study of a small EU country which achieved remarkable things in the area. Through strong political will, Estonians managed to become an exemplar of e-governance and digital citizenship.
The discussions highlighted several opportunities and challenges of using digital technologies across several sectors including education, health, culture, business and industry. Cyprus has made some progress the last decades. However, strong political will and real investment is needed to lead the country to new levels of digital transformation.
