HEARD is focusing on the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the democratic debate, the enjoyment of fundamental rights and work and life balance of women. The project will attempt to kick start the discussion around social engagement through a series of debates, and will promote workshops and public discussion on critical societal issues.
The European Commission placed at the centre of its priorities the need to take immediate and drastic actions to fight climate change and to make Europe climateneutral by 2050 (Green Deal). Furthermore, European Ministers for VET, the European Social Partners and the European Commission adopted the ”Bruges Communique” on enhanced European cooperation in VET for 2011- 2020, defining common objectives for 2020 and an action plan for the coming years and states that “the transition to a green economy is a megatrend which
affects skill needs across many different jobs and sectors. Cutting edge technology such as Augmented Reality and Simulations are essential for everybody today green skills and will be important to almost every job in the future”. CARDET, in collaboration with partners from 6 EU countries participate in the GoGreen project, under the ERASMUS+ KA2 programme of the European Commission.
GoGreen – Using Augmented Reality Technology and Simulation-Based Training to Foster Green Economy, is focusing on developing the skills and competences of VET providers to support the professional development of the private sector stakeholders and entrepreneurs and those willing to effectively support Green Economy through the development of a tailored VET green curriculum based on augmented reality technology, simulation training and an innovative Massive Open Online Course.
VET is an integral part of education providing lifelong learning systems equipping individuals with skills responding to the needs of the economy but also with skills important for personal development and active citizenship. The European Commission emphasizes the need of VET to become more fit to the digital age since VET will play a crucial role in helping people to find jobs after the Coronavirus crisis.
Therefore, the GROOVE project aims to build the capacity of VET providers/trainers to digitize, modernize their practices and build the low-skilled adults’ digital literacy skills and fill the gap between the demand for, and supply of, a digitally competent workforce through adjusting the VET sector to become more resilient to rapid technological and labour market changes
Securing places of worship and large gatherings of believers from terrorist attacks was the focus of an event organised by the Cyprus Police and CARDET. The event was organised in the framework of the European Project Prosperes (Protection System for large gatherings of people in Religious Sites) and was attended by security experts and academics from Cyprus and abroad, as well as religious leaders and members of diplomatic missions.
In the framework of the event, representatives from Cyprus Police and experts from abroad presented their experiences and effective practices followed in Cyprus and internationally for the protection of religious monuments and large gatherings in places of worship. In addition, an exchange of views and suggestions on the existing challenges and issues that need to be addressed regarding the protection of religious monuments and religious events in Cyprus was carried out. In particular, the workshop was attended by representatives of police authorities, research organisations and universities from Cyprus, Poland, Greece, Greece, Slovakia, Finland and the Netherlands.
The European ProSPeReS project aims to increase the level of protection in religious places of worship by promoting cooperation between experts, security bodies and religious authorities. In addition, it promotes the design and implementation of a holistic programme of training and awareness-raising of stakeholders to enhance the protection and security of places of worship and religious events against terrorist attacks.

These key messages, as well as the existing challenges and perspectives for the Professional Learning of teachers in the Cypriot education system, were the focus of the Cyprus Education Summit 2022, which took place at the University of Nicosia. The conference was organised by the Pedagogical Institute of the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth, CARDET and the Cyprus Institute of Development, with the participation of experts, academics and researchers in the field of education, as well as teachers.
As stressed by the speakers of the conference, it is extremely important to devote more time, through structured programmes focusing on existing needs, within the school for the effective training of teachers. The conference also highlighted the importance and benefits of interaction between teachers and their active engagement in the dialogue to shape approaches and programmes for their training and support.
At the same time, it became clear that the mental resilience and well-being of teachers should be a key dimension of the School Improvement Plan and the educational system in general, so that teachers are able to effectively manage the challenges of the profession and can respond more effectively to their role. This also requires multidimensional actions and systemic approaches involving teachers, parents and children. Indeed, a central objective should also be to expand the role of schools, which should not only function as places that only provide knowledge, but as institutions that nurture and strengthen the character of children, promoting the well-being of themselves and their teachers.
The Conference also provided practical tools and educational material that teachers can implement themselves to enhance both their own well-being and the mental resilience and well-being of their students from programmes such as Resilient Preschools, ProW, SWPBS and the School of Happiness.
The Cyprus Education Summit, held annually, aims to explore key aspects of education and training and to highlight important actions and initiatives in the field. To this end, through the proceedings of the conference, the exchange of knowledge, views and experiences between experts, researchers and professionals from the field of education are promoted.
