What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Act Inclusive partner meeting in Nicosia

CARDET Hosts International Partners for ACT INCLUSIVE Project Meeting in Nicosia

Written by Nikolina Frangoullidou on . Posted in Project News.

In a continued effort to promote disability-inclusive education, CARDET recently welcomed partners from France, Slovenia, Hungary, Belgium, and Spain to Nicosia for the 3rd partner meeting of the ACT INCLUSIVE project. This initiative is dedicated to supporting educators by developing innovative resources to foster inclusive learning environments for all students.

Over the course of two highly productive days, project partners discussed the progress of key deliverables currently under development, including a comprehensive manual, a toolbox, and a comic book. These resources aim to equip educators with practical tools and strategies for better integrating students with disabilities into mainstream classrooms.

This meeting also marked a significant milestone in the project’s timeline, as partners laid the groundwork for a series of awareness-raising workshops to be held in schools across all participating countries: France, Slovenia, Hungary, Belgium, Spain, and Cyprus. These workshops, scheduled between January and April 2025, will engage teachers and students in conversations about the importance of inclusive education.

The ACT INCLUSIVE project continues to make strides in fostering more inclusive learning environments for children with disabilities across Europe. Follow the project’s facebook page for updates and upcoming events.

UxGE Project Hosts Second Stakeholder Meeting in Larnaca

Written by Veronica Charalambous on . Posted in Project News.

On October 5, 2024, the UxGE Project held its second stakeholder meeting in Larnaca, Cyprus, in collaboration with the 270th Air Scout System. The meeting brought together 11 young participants to discuss the project’s goals, activities, and anticipated outcomes. These stakeholder meetings aim to strengthen connections with key audiences and ensure the UxGE Project achieves its objectives effectively.

The session included a detailed presentation of the project’s core components: its aims, objectives, target audiences, planned activities, and expected results. A key highlight was the introduction of the Online Training Course (OTC), the project’s first major deliverable. Participants were given an overview of the OTC, its relevance to young people, and its potential to enhance critical skills and knowledge. Members of the 270th Air Scout System were encouraged to engage with the OTC and share feedback to help refine the training.

The meeting emphasized the crucial role of youth in achieving the UxGE Project’s objectives, reinforcing its commitment to inclusivity and grassroots engagement. By involving local youth, the project not only connects with its target audience but also empowers them to serve as advocates for its mission.

This series of stakeholder meetings reflects the UxGE Project’s dedication to collaboration, active participation, and the effective dissemination of outcomes. Building on the enthusiasm and insights from Larnaca, the next meeting will continue to advance these goals and broaden the project’s impact.

It was a pleasure to participate in the #FortheCulture of Human Rights and the Rule of Law event, held on September 16-21, 2024, in Mollina, Spain. This event was part of the Long-Term Blended Training Course on Global Education and Education for Sustainable Development (LTTC on GE and ESD), an important initiative under the iLEGEND III project, co-funded by the European Union and the Council of Europe and implemented by the North-South Centre of the Council of Europe.

Organized by the North-South Centre of the Council of Europe, the event aimed to highlight the connection between human rights, the rule of law, and sustainable development, addressing global challenges and inequalities at both local and global levels.

Event Highlights and Significance
Aligned with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the event emphasized the integration of human rights and sustainable development across various dimensions, including gender equality, social justice, and environmental protection.

The Council of Europe, through the European Convention on Human Rights, plays a crucial role in ensuring respect for human rights across the continent. By supporting events like this, the Council of Europe strengthens the global commitment to a human rights-based approach to development.

CARDET’s Role and Vision
Our participation provided an opportunity for meaningful discussions with colleagues on empowering young people to actively address global challenges, particularly those related to the rule of law and sustainable development.

RALExILA project second partner meeting in Slovenia

Successful Second Partner Meeting of the RALExILA Project

Written by Nikolina Frangoullidou on . Posted in Project News.

From September 30th to October 2nd, Slovenia served as the meeting point for the partners of the RALExILA project. The meeting focused on enhancing systems that support adult learning across Europe, particularly by developing National Registries for Adult Learning and Education (ALE) and integrating Individual Learning Accounts (ILAs).

The meeting unfolded in two distinct phases. The first 1.5 days were dedicated to a workshop centred on defining system requirements and modeling. Project partners, stakeholders, and leading experts in adult learning from across Europe collaborated in an interactive session to outline the essential features of these systems. Employing design thinking methodologies, the workshop prioritized understanding user needs and generating innovative solutions, resulting in comprehensive and user-friendly system requirements and information models for ALE registries.

On the final day, partners discussed research from several countries on how their national ALE systems and ILAs work. The group also began drafting a guide on quality assurance and governance, which will help set strong standards for ALE systems in Europe. CARDET contributed actively by presenting research findings from Cyprus and engaging in collaborative discussions to shape the future of adult learning systems.
