In the process of finalizing the cultural, social and language integration toolkit in the form of a mobile application, orienting the young newcomer refugees into the hosting societies’ cultural and social realities and norms, BLEDN-IN Consortium has published a report describing its making process and testing. The BLEND-IN APP report may be downloaded from BLEND-IN webpage, the same interface where BLEND IN APP may be reached by the end of September 2018.
The Refugee Integration Handbook for Operators developed by BLEND IN partners may now be downloaded from here.
The significance of this resource lies in the fact that it focuses on key areas of a successful integration of young refugees and migrants in a host/ receiving country. In the next few days, BLEND IN Mobile APP will be finalised and may be downloaded from the same link.

Every Year the project will focus on a single Sustainable Development Goal. The Goals were chosen are the one who invite more local engagement and action from Student Youth
1st year SDG 11 “Making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable”
2nd year SDG 13 “Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts”
3rd year SDG 16 “Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels”.
The project aims to achieve knowledge about these Sustainable Development Goals with the yearly

Participation of students to the Global Walk on sustainable development.
Participation to the Summer School in Cyprus, Portugal and Italy decided upon an European contest or strength of engagement.
The 2nd meeting of the MEDIS project (Mediterranean Inclusive Schools) took place in Greece, Athens, under the hospitality of KMOP. Partners from Cyprus, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece and Bulgaria discussed on the plans and upcoming activities of the MEDIS handbook and training programme that targets to the inclusion of migrant students in schools.
The pilot phase will start in September 2019, thus, any schools or teachers who are interested to be part of the MEDIS school training programme can contact us at kyriaki.yiakoupi@cardet.org.
The year 2018 was named as the European Year of Cultural Heritage (EY2018). Within the framework of the EY2018, CARDET and its partners were recently awarded a new Erasmus+ KA2 Youth project with title “Digitasization and culture for new generations” (DiCultYouth).
The project DiCultYouth focuses on building synergies between the creative sectors of culture, education and technology aiming to boost the digital skills and employability of young people and to support education systems and cultural organizations to take advantage of new technologies. Cultural institutions have not been able to fully adopt digital technologies. This innovation gap has received little attention while the social expectation of heritage content positioned within the information economy grows. This gap in digital skills in the cultural heritage sector is the objective of our research in all five European counties. The project will develop a gamified online environment and an e-learning training course addressing the needs of young people. More details about the project will be announced soon.
The 2nd meeting of the project ‘Designing and Evaluating Innovative Mobile Pedagogies (DEIMP)’ has taken place at the Classic Hotel, in Nicosia, Cyprus. 15 people from 6 European organisations and universities attended the meeting.
It is important to mark that the main output of the project is the development of an innovative mobile application which isnder development by CARDET. During the meeting, the mock-up of the application was presented, several project management issues were addressed and hands-on sessions followed in the frameworks of the first three outputs of the project. The next project meeting will take place in Galway, Ireland next September. You can find more about the project by visiting its website.
Τo CARDET συμμετέχει σε ένα πολύ ενδιαφέρον έργο με τίτλο “E-COURSE”, το οποίο στοχεύει στην ενίσχυση της πρόσβασης, της συμμετοχής και της μαθησιακής επίδοσης των παιδιών μεταναστών και προσφύγων στην πρωτοβάθμια εκπαίδευση. Στο πλαίσιο του έργου θα λάβουν χώρα εκπαιδευτικά σεμινάρια και παρεμβάσεις σε σχολικές μονάδες. Περισσότερες πληροφορίες για το έργο θα βρείτε στο πρώτο ενημερωτικό δελτίο που θα βρείτε πιο κάτω.
The MEDIS project aims to strengthen and consolidate social cohesion, intercultural education and local language in a multilingual framework of newly arrived migrants at primary and secondary schools through the Mediterranean Inclusive Schools Programme in 6 European countries (Spain, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Portugal and Bulgaria). The programme will adapt teaching skills and inclusive methodologies needed by the educational community: teachers and other pupils.
