FOREST replies to the fragmentation of competences in forestry management at national and international levels, by giving rise to debate around the possibility to create a standard level of competences and skills of forestry workers and promoting innovation and professionalism by joint actions and initiatives. Debates will be channelled into three levels: technical concerning the contents of training programmes and skills required to forestry operators; legislative to harmonise authorisations to emit diploma and certificate; innovation and sustainability.
OBJECTIVES
Map out, discuss and exchange knowhow about forest management, VET and standard of security;
Promote the exchange of good practices and techniques with other European countries;
Improve the level of professionalism and competitiveness of forest workers at cross-border level;
Raise knowledge and safety standards of workers as well as the quality of their interventions;
Discuss the creation of a standard level of competences and skills of forestry workers, valid across national borders.
The Rude Awakening project is designed to make technology part of museum visit experiences so that visitors feel more connected to World War I history and cultural heritage. With the support of digital and audio-visual contents, based on the stories of WWI soldiers, “The Rude Awakening” wants to lead a new educational and emotional perspective on war and peace. Visitors will learn by putting themselves in the shoes of a soldier throughout the visit to the museum, thus they will better understand war memories and soldier’s life. An added value of the project? A videogame will be developed through it! This will be the core part of an innovative cultural tour that a visitor can experience, both physically and virtually, accompanied by one or more characters – Austro-Hungarian soldiers of WWI.
OBJECTIVES
The main objective of the project is to increase access and improving the fruition of sites of European historical and cultural heritage through an innovative approach based on digital and audio-visual contents installed or projected within the museums and historical sites. This will allow visitors to experience and emotional learn the themes of war and, consequently, the importance of peace.
The VALID project aims at building a strong network of towns committed to intercultural exchange, using a bottom-up approach and through promotion of cultural participation. Cultural participation is seen as a tool for improving social inclusion, active citizenship and intercultural dialogue, as well as fostering solidarity and respect for cultural diversity. The partnership involves Kosovo*, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, North Macedonia, Italy, Montenegro, France, Greece and Slovenia. Considering the emerging intercultural tensions and social disharmony, together with the raise of citizen’s discontent and their demand for more inclusion in policy making all over Europe, there is an evident need to invest in cultural diversity and dialogue. Therefore, VALID aims at reinforcing the integration of intercultural and social perspectives into a wide range of public policies, using them as a concept and as a policy tool basis for managing diversity and finally, for recognising European cities as key players in intercultural policy. To cope with this new socio–economical and spatial changes, there is a need for cooperation and intercultural dialogue in order to reduce the risk of exclusion. Exclusion is nourished by economic shortages, cultural incomprehension and marginalisation of a growing part of the urban population. VALID pinpoints cultural participation as an effective tool for establishing and upholding this process, generating counter narratives and providing a more inclusive pathway for citizen’s participation in policy making while raising awareness on key social issues.
OBJECTIVES
The project aims at building a strong network of towns committed to intercultural exchange, using a bottom-up approach and the promotion of cultural participation. Cultural participation is seen as a tool for improving social inclusion, active citizenship, and intercultural dialogue, as well as fostering solidarity and respect for cultural diversity. In its bigger picture, the project openly aims at bridging the local and the European level, building cooperation from a grassroots approach, and at the same time constructing a European network creating a wider common intercultural frame. Go for it, VALID!
ACTIVITIES
Four international events over the course of two years -in Greece, Slovenia, Italy and Kosovo*- which will provide the occasion to share good practices and suggestions to improve intercultural dialogue in local policy making of EU Country Members, Candidate States and Potential Candidate States.
Working meetings among project partners during which a common methodology for the local paths development will be shared, in order to assure coherence to the activities to be developed in the different contexts and comparability of results.
In between the events, each partner will organise a series of local activities employing various working methods: coffee house meetings, interactive toolkits, community engaged art forms and street actions with citizens.
3STEPS – Fostering Education and Inclusion of disadvantages refugee and migrant learners intents to scale up two good practices on inclusive learning invented on a local level. 3STEPS will introduce VMs special Basic Education classes from the concept of “Learning network for migrants » (Lernnetzwerk für MigrantInnen), which have been developed and well experienced by Multicultural Association at a local level in the Austrian region of Tirol since 2016. The second good practice “Tandem Now” has been a transnational European project within Leonardo da Vinci Transfer of Innovation program starting in the year 2012. The “Tandem Now” approach involving Ethnic Role Model Mentors aims at helping young people with a migration background to develop social and professional skills and the support needed to stay in school. The project uses the motivating effect of ethnic role models combining it with a blended mentoring approach that was especially developed according to the needs of migrants.
OBJECTIVES
3STEPS-project intends to promote inclusive education and training as well as the education of disadvantaged learners. 3STEPS aim to achieve this by supporting teacher/trainers of educational institutions with the capacities and learning curricula to promote the social and professional inclusion of young refugees and migrants.
ACTIVITIES
Basic Education methods will be scaled vertically from the national level to a transnational level, while the Ethnic Role Model Mentoring approach of TANDEM NOW project will be scaled horizontally developing it to a broader target group (from the age of 15 to 25) and to more European countries.
New technologies, and especially social media, facilitate democratisation by empowering citizens to express themselves directly towards policymakers, and by giving room to new forms and means of expression. All this makes democracy more representative and participatory. However, it also has more negative aspects, as demonstrated by the rise of fake news and disinformation. Antidemocratic forces can easier than ever distort information flows, and tech giants can benefit from users’ data mining. All these phenomena will considerably shake democracy rules, and have a negative impact on the future of Europe.
The project offers a collective space for policy makers and citizens from 15 countries to organise international events and other activities to stimulate democratic and civic participation across Europe, and to support democratic Union in digital era.
The project is going to answer these three main challenges:
Impact of digital culture on democracy
Helping policymakers and citizens navigate the digital media environment
Media and information literacy as critical elements in good governance
European and local elections in a digital age
Increasing societal resilience to disinformation and propaganda, and mobilising counter-forces.
Countering fake news and disinformation spread online in local and European elections.
Digital participation
Stimulating civic engagement through media and information.
Bridging digital divide and political participation.
Finding innovative ways to participate in political decision-making (e-consultation, e-decision-making, e-information sharing).
OBJECTIVES
The project priority is to debate the future of Europe and challenging Euroscepticism. That is why, the main objective of this project is to provide European local and regional policymakers and citizens with tools to support civic participation in a digital culture era.
ACTIVITIES
Within the project, a diverse group of 1400 citizens will contribute to design and implementation of five international events filled up with trainings, collaborative spaces, community workshops, and public debates.
The events will result in publishing policy highlights and collectively created Policy papers on how public institutions in Europe (including the Union’s institutions) can operate in face of digital transformation, and how to support democratic forms of bottom-up civic mobilization in digital era.
By facilitating exchange and policy learning among participants, the project will contribute to increase their resilience to disinformation and propaganda, and foster counter-actions, which is a fundamental value for the future of European democracy.
ACHIEVE aims to develop the EU identity starting from a reflection on the common history, art and religions among cities from Central and South-Eastern Europe as a tool to fight the growing Euroscepticism.
For these reasons, these are the topics at the challenges that ACHIEVE wants to face: promoting knowledge about one’s own territory and then on the other countries involved fostering discussion on the concepts of identity and Euroscepticism, whose causes will be investigated at local level in all the targeted countries and shared in occasion of international events. Thirdly, the network of cities will share tools and methods to create a counter narrative against Euroscepticism. To this purpose, citizens will identify creative ways to develop substantial messages countering the growing distrust and disaffection for Europe, creating a “Global Citizenships’ map”. These contents will be used to develop an interactive website expected to be used as a didactical tool, beyond the project.
OBJECTIVES
Raise awareness to the common memory, history and values of EU countries and to the EU objectives (like peace promotion), its values and the wellbeing of its inhabitants through debates, reflections and networks
Encourage civic and democratic participation of citizens at EU level by developing their knowledge on the process of political elaboration of EU and promoting opportunities of civic, volunteer or intercultural engagement at EU level.
ACTIVITIES
Erdut Municipality organizes the 1st international event aimed at publicly launching the event and sharing an overview on Euroscepticism in every partner’s country;
Local paths phase 1: activities are organized by every partner to engage local citizens in deepening their knowledge on the history, art, religion of their territory and collecting material about it;
Peje Municipality (Kosovo) organizes the 2nd international event, aiming at sharing the respective local findings and introducing the concept of EU citizenship;

The House of National Minority (Prague, Czech Republic) organizes the 3rd international event, aiming at sharing the respective local findings and identifying methods to build a counter-narrative to Euroscepticism
Local paths phase 3: activities are organized by every partner to engage citizens in discussing the methods to counter Euroscepticism that have been identified in the international event and in identifying the traces of European identity embedded in their local context. They will do this by collecting interviews, pictures, videos, stories that will feed the “Global Citizenship Map”
Breganze Municipality and Rezzara Institute (Vicenza, Italy) organize the 4th and final international event “Bored of Borders” to promote EU identity and the crossing of mental and physical borders.

Creation of the communication tools such as the Global Citizenship Map, throughout the all duration of the project.
The proposal strives to turn sporadic experiments (e.g. a few cities in former Communist countries painting high-rise blocks in the frame of isolating projects, without any concepts behind colouring and targeting community engagement) into bottom-up initiatives driven by youth in a co-creation process aimed at urban and social sustainability of quarters. In other words, SPRAY believes in the opportunity to reconcile street art and urban and social regeneration through the empowerment of youths at the European level for them to act as multipliers of sustainability in their own communities. SPRAY responds to the need of regenerating degraded quarters in both urban and social terms, by using art and, specifically, street art. Moreover, it empowers young citizens to take up the renewal of their own town through a bottom-up approach, while inverting the perspective associating graffiti with vandalism and the disfigurement of public spaces. By capitalising on experiences, techniques and knowledge at the European level, the proposal aims at testing the interconnection between contemporary arts and social complexity of degraded quarters to transform them in sustainable urban hubs. Urban regeneration pursued through artistic and cultural participation by citizens can trigger a virtuous circle of local identities and public spaces rediscovery.
OBJECTIVES
Exploring and understanding street art as a form of art
Contributing to urban and social regeneration of suburbs
Boosting civic belonging and responsibility among young citizens towards livelihood of peripheral urban spaces
Offering an opportunity to learn street art techniques to start an artistic career for youth
Fostering intercultural competences, respect for diversity and EU values
Trigger active and responsible participation of local communities with respect to issues of urban and social regeneration.
Improving the level of key competences and skills of young people, including those with fewer opportunities.
Fostering active citizenship, intercultural dialogue and social inclusion, by increasing learning mobility opportunities for young people.
ACTIVITIES
Activity 1: Advance Planning Visit (27-28 May 2019) Bassano del Grappa, Italy Prior the exchange, the leaders of the national groups will gather in Bassano for a 2 days meeting to define a well-structured agenda for the activities that will take place during the exchange and evaluate the feasibility of the Wall Experience (i.e. where to do it and how) and the modalities. Moreover, they will shoot brief videos of self-presentation called “Street art and me” that will be circulated among the selected participants through project partners, for the youngsters to get to know them in advance and smooth the team-working dynamics during the exchange.
Activity 2: Youth exchange – six days – 14-19 October 2019 The participants of the youth exchange will attend Street Art Masterclass and will reflect on the nexus between arts and urban and social regeneration of quarters, with art expert providing examples of successful experiments of the kind at the European level. Art experts will translate into a street art work the ideas developed by the youths during the week, on surfaces previously identified. Youths will also contribute, by working (painting or spraying) on blank canvas. There will be a final event to celebrate the street art work with the local citizenship, as well as the conclusion of the youth exchange.
Activity 3: GRAFternoon Once back to its country, each national group will organise a “GRAFternoon” in its own community, a creative workshop open to the public where they will showcase the art works done in Italy. Youths will gift their city the canvas they have produced in Italy, deposing it in a public space that will have been previously chosen. A Facebook group will be developed, so participants will be able to share contents, photos and impressions. An Instagram profile will be also opened, as a professional tool where to display the art works in Bassano and back home.
ALDA will host 2 French volunteers for a period of 12 months in the office in Skopje, North Macedonia.
This project was inspired by young people as drivers of society and the hope for a better European future, the need to find new ways to reach out to them and motivate engagement, for given the proper encouragement youth can bring significant and needed change. With the development of new technologies, we also witness a creative approach proposed by youngsters in facing the problems that concern them and proposing innovative solutions
The project will give opportunity to 2 volunteers to immerse them-self in the Macedonian experience, improve their skills in communication, languages and youth work. They will contribute to the multi-cultural team of ALDA Skopje and will create different tools such as videos, photos, articles and interviews on the topics of the project as well as promotional materials used for “Erasmus +” programme.
ACTIVITIES
The project activities are covering 3 topics:
Youth social activism and regional cooperation
Intercultural understanding & European Citizenship
Youth development & Francophonie
Youth social activism and regional cooperation and Intercultural understanding & European Citizenship
These topics will be tackled through the activities of one of the main projects of ALDA Skopje conducted in the Balkan region and which is currently in its inception is the project “Youth Compact”. The project tackles the issues of rule of law, fundamental rights and economic and social issues from the perspective of youth, the idea is that across these issues young people accept and exercise European values and nurture common European identity, as well as recognise the potential of their own countries.
The volunteers will be included in the Raising awareness activities in the framework of this project, they will work mainly on the communication activities: news articles, photography, online campaign, video and audio campaigns, info graphics on relevant topics, website and internet platform management. A special highlight will be put on stimulation of creative communication tools and technics. They will also be present on the regional events organised in the country in order for them to engage and exchange with other youngsters from the region and thus will gain direct insight into the Balkan youth context.
Youth development & Francophonie
On this topic the volunteers will be engaged in activities in the framework of ALDA Skopje’s programme for decentralised cooperation between partners from Normandy and Macedonia. The volunteers will be engaged in the activities of the cooperation between Normandy and Macedonia on the topics of Remembrance, cultural heritage and youth, as many youth exchanges on these topics will be organised they will exchange with youth from Normandy and Macedonia. This activity will also include the topic of European remembrance through the discovery of the common history of European countries with a focus on the First World War.
Moreover, ALDA Skopje started, with the help of EVS volunteers, in 2016, the ALDA Youth Club around Francophonie where students from Skopje interested in French language and culture can join to learn more about French traditions and improve their French language skills or more technical competences, as animation, video or photography.
Finally, one of the main aims of this project is to promote intercultural dialogue through creative exchanges and mobility. In order to encourage creativity and personal development of the volunteers, they will be encouraged to develop their own ideas and initiatives for projects on this topic that could be implemented with the help of ALDA Skopje. Therefore, their activities will also involve project development, brainstorming and drafting project idea with the assistance of the staff.
Volunteers will also be encouraged to prepare and participate in activities on these topics, to share their experience, to promote youth mobility among our partners while presenting the possibilities of the European educational programmes.

According to the European motto “united in diversity”, the project FromME2EU aims to provide opportunities for European citizens and Migrants’ communities to work together, in order to promote a new idea of a multicultural Europe. The idea is that every migrant should be considered as a citizen and every citizen has some needs but, at the same time, should bring ideas and innovative approaches to the community in which he lives. FromME2Eu insist on requirement and selflessness, both based on mutuality. The project provides citizens with a pathway of awareness to highlight the positive potential of solidarity. With a proactive approach, oriented to peer to peer methodology and practical need, FromME2EU lead citizens to maximize social collaboration, at the same time combating scepticism in reception refugees programs (and Euroscepticism’s too) and reducing racism, by offering sustainable solutions for common issues involving Citizens and Migrants.
OBJECTIVES
The project is based on 3 phases composed by the European and local dimension. The idea of the whole project is based on the vision that democracy could be built up only by Citizen’s engagement (foster European Citizenship), starting from the understanding of differences and driving to inclusion based on mutual recognition of each other needs (improve condition for democratic participation).
