Profile/sector of the organization
Erre Effe Due Association was founded by 3 associated of the Erre Effe srl with the aim to develop
various types of education and training (non-formal and informal) in the social and cultural fields.
Erre Effe Due is supported by the experiences of its associated and by the qualified national and
international network of experts realised by Erre Effe srl during more of 10 years of activities in
the field of European projects.
Desired partner profile / sector
Partners with training and/or technological expertises
Ideas for a potential project
The project idea is based on the experience carried out with the Grundtvig Project “Theatre and
Jail in Europe” 2004/2006 whose goals were:
□ To integrate and consolidate theatrical experiences in jail contexts in Europe in order to single
out shared intervention and verification models.
□ To analyze the experiences in the partner countries, to single out good practices.
□ To promote and support professional qualifications of categories of jail workers such as: social
workers and cultural workers, jail wardens.
□ To promote and support learning and professional training itineraries for inmates and former
inmates through the use of non formal languages.
The following results/products of the project were:
□ The research carried out in the partner countries allowed to single out a complex, diversified
and developing jail reality on a European level with problems such as overcrowding, old and
unsuitable structures.
The regulations of all the jails involved in the research entail the possibility of starting
“training” itineraries for recuperating, rehabilitating and socializing the prisoners by means of
cultural, recreational and sports activities and work outside the jail..
The theatrical performances in a jail context is a consolidated practice on a European level
allowing to:
a) improve the basic knowledge and skills of the prisoners;
4
b) through the theatrical productions the jail opens to the society and consequently it also
becomes a training and culture institution.
□ Book of good practices, it is a collection of the methodologies, processes, materials and tools
which demonstrated to be effective in the partner countries.
Our idea of a multilateral project for innovation transfer aims at building an innovative model
suitable to different targets, sectors and contexts allowing the theatrical performances in jail to
develop its full innovative potential and to produce the foreseen consequences.
The partnership includes some partners who participated to the previous project such as Carte
Blanche (Italy) project leader; EscapeArtists (England);Théâtre de l’Opprimé (France); AufBruch
Kunst Gefangnis Stadt (Germany) and new partners (university institutes and other
organizations having specific teaching, technological skills including project management).
The reference target shall be: in the short term – workers of the associations/institutions working
within the jail, social workers and cultural association workers, jail guard; in the medium-long
term - prisoners and/or other disadvantaged target people.
The transfer shall concern: jails from Northern and Central Italy; the University of Milan – Bicocca,
Faculty of Educational Sciences in order to produce training for the trainees and the Leoamici
Foundation – Komlo (Hungary) which will use the model for targeted drug addicts and alcoholics.
The following activities shall be planned:
□ Definition and analysis of the needs of the subjects and of the organizations working in jails,
interested in the transfer.
□ Selection, analysis and adaptation of the existing material/contents
□ Creation and implementation of the Learning management System
□ Creation of the E-Learning modules
□ Production of DVD containing a selection of the backstage and of the performances having
taken place in the European jails.
□ Establishment of the European Centre of Theatre and Jail in Europe.
□ Organization of an international festival of Theatre in Jail by the end of the project.

Profile/sector of the organization
GEB is a certified non-profit organization established in 1989 by professors and students from the
University of Berlin „Freie Universität” under the name “Romanisches Büro”.
At the beginning the main objective of our organization was cultural exchange and transnational
dialogue between students from the University of Berlin and students from countries with Latin
based languages.
But we evolved, and now we are functioning as an educational training centre. At present our
main aim is education, mostly vocational and non-formal education. In our area, we are working
as advisors for institutions such as schools, small and medium-sized companies and
administrative institutions. We are looking for partners in all Europe, and we are helping in the
planning, realization end evaluation of European projects. In such a way we continue with our
primary concept of transnational exchange and cooperation.
Our activity is mainly directed to young people, adults and less privileged people. We give them
the opportunity to get professional experience and take part in transnational training.
Desired partner profile / sector
We are looking for schools and intermediary organisations with a big interest in Germany, since
one of our organisation aims for 2009 is to host more participants in Berlin.
On the other hand, we are looking for partners willing to cooperate in LdV Mobility projects (PLM
and IVT) on eco-tourism and railways connected professions.
Ideas for a potential project
1 – The German vocational system of education is very well known abroad for the dual system
(combination of theoretical teaching in the school and practical training in the company). In
cooperation with the vocational centre from the S-Bahn from Berlin (city train company) GEB will
apply for a LdV mobility grant for IVT and PLM. Our aim is not only to increase the mobility of
apprentices in this sector but also to develop modules of contents, so that the knowledge the
German trainees bring from abroad can be recognised in their home country, avoiding the
repetition of contents in the lessons.
6
We already have a many partners in Europe but any working in the railway field; therefore we
would like to meet in Rome some organisations with experiences in this field in order to carry out
this project.
2- Nowadays to speak foreign languages is a great asset and increases the changes of getting an
employment. If this is true for all sector in the tourism sector this is vital. Aiming at increasing the
interest for foreign languages GEB, in association with the European department of the vocational
schools from Berlin, will apply for a IVT mobility project (4 weeks). We are looking for partners in
Malta, Great Britain, …
Within the framework of these projects we would like not only to send participants abroad, but if
there are European schools or organisations willing to send us their pupils we are a good partner,
because with our local partners we can assure a project with good quality.

Profile/sector of the organization
UTGM - Università Telematica “Guglielmo Marconi”, a public non state Italian University, is the
first Italian athenaeum which follows the “Open University” model. Born in 2004 and recognized
by the Ministry of University and Research, the innovative learning methodology of UTGM
consists in merging e-learning (with Virtual C@mpus, a web platform), m-learning (for mobile
access) and the interactive television t-C@mpus platform. The International Projects and R&D
Office was created to implement the University’s policy concerning its relations with foreign
higher education institutions and other academic bodies and to plan, develop and manage funded
educational and research projects. The athenaeum is constantly involved in several research
projects.
Desired partner profile / sector
Types of partners sought: Technological partners for development, Linguistic istitutions,
Technical partners to process data and develop the virtual tutor
Competences & Skills wanted: Artificial intelligent experts, software programmers, E-Learning
experts, language teachers.
The following present a number of idea on which we are working – they are kept short on
purpose. More details will be given by interested parties by sending an email to progetti
europei@unimarconi.it.
Ideas for a potential project
Innovative solutions for learning
The proposal aims to realize an innovative learning system integrating an E-Learning platform
with an advanced and interactive knowledge system based on pedagogical intelligent agents. In
particular the project will offer the following aspects:
 a detailed background assessment;
 a personalized training path in order to cover specific didactic needs, guaranteeing
satisfactory knowledge of the entire course program;
 continuous virtual tutor assistance that will customize training paths, provide verbal / non
verbal feedback and deliver didactic pills that will reinforce students’ motivation
15
throughout the course.
Within this area the proposer has coordinated the Parmenide project (intelligent agents for
innovative e-learning), and is coordinating the T2 (intelligent evaluator of student performance)
projects.
Ideas for a potential project
T-learning on IP: Tip-learning
The proposal aims to develop a solution that allows teachers to easly create television lessons,
and have them broadcasted to students over IP.
UTGM has been very active in this field, and it now has its own IP TV channel.
Ideas for a potential project
Virtual Erasmus
UTGM has been approved has received the Erasmus charter. Being a distance university it is
therefore available to set up Virtual Erasmus.
Ideas for a potential project
Learning by story telling
It is widely known that it is far easier to learn (expecially for adults) by reading a story rather than
by studying of a formal theory, expecially when the story that is being read can directly relate to
the reader.
The proposal aims to develop a tool that will assist teachers as well as students themselves to
develop a story that can be used to teach a specific subject, supporting the user in defining the
story and delivering it in an open-source platform.
Ideas for a potential project
Immersive learning: Learning in a virtual reality environment
The proposal aims to offer a virtual reality environment (similar to Second Life but based on open
source solution) that allows the student to immerse himself in a simulated environment related
to the subject of his studies. This will be applied in a field where the student should practice with
simulation scenarios (security, healthcare, emergency management), expecially when they are
hard to recreate in reality.
Ideas for a potential project
EUROPEAN QUALIFICATIONS FRAMEWORK (EQF)
The proposal aims to develop a solution that allows easy implementation of the EQF across
Europe, by developing a dictionary approach to translate national/regional qualifications to the
equivalent European one.
Ideas for a potential project
A time machine for teaching history
The proposal aims to develop a virtual reality tool that will allow the user to travel in time and in
geographical position, making it possible, for example, to explore ancient Rome, Rome in the
middle ages as well as Rome in the future. This can be used as a very powerfull tool for teaching
History and Social Sciences.

Organisations working in the field of cultural mediation and integration;
Local authorities, Ministries or Departments/Agencies linked to Ministries;
Secondary schools.
Ideas for a potential project
The proposal contributes to increase School principals’ awareness about existing Community
funding aiming at:
- developing and experimenting innovative methodological practices at school;
- linking each school to other European institutions.
The proposal means to develop and experiment an online course offering both personalised
training paths and virtual collaboration sessions for School principals in Europe. The online
course will focus on international relations competences and EU funding opportunities.
Ideas for a potential project
The proposal intends to meet both immigrants’ and European society’s needs by supporting the
matching of job demand and job offer in Europe. The proposal will develop and test an online tool
(e-portfolio) to make explicit and certificate immigrants’ competences. The tool will be useful for
immigrants who look for a job or intend to change their job and for all those looking for
17
workforce to be employed in the receiving country.
If you need more details on the project ideas presented below please send an email to
progettieuropei@forcom.it
Ideas for a potential project
Gastronomical-Cultural School
The proposal aims to teach culture thru gastronomy. Covering the different national food
traditions we aim at making the student understand and appreciate the culture that stands
behind it, thus contributing to the dialogue between countries aiming at a mutual understanding
of the different cultures. The proposal would ideally fit a Mediterrenean prospective.
The proposer managed the TIP project, aiming to intercultural mediation, and the ATHENA
national project, aiming at integrating student-immigrants.
Ideas for a potential project
Advanced Virtual Tutor and Virtual Orientator
An intelligent tutor is able to interact with the student within an e-learning platform to guide him
first in setting up a personalized course and then in actually taking the course, guiding the student
in his activities.
The virtual tutor will be developed using AIML.
The virtual orientator will administer an entry test to students and will then suggest a course of
study and even set up – if so required – a personalized study course, assembling existing Learning
Objects.
The virtual orientator is based on neural networks and on a specific subject classification.
Within this area the proposer is currently coordinating CoachBot (virtual coach and tutor, able to
interact with students) projects. The proposed work is a continuation and extension of the work
done up to now.
Ideas for a potential project
Seamless integration of e/m/t-learning
The proposal aims to offer a completely integrated solution that covers both traditional elearning and Mobile as well as Television learning, allowing the user to move from one media to
the other without any constraints. Thus a student can follow a course at home on TV, continue it
on his mobile and maybe finish it off on the web in a traditional e-learning environment.
Within this area the proposer has experience both on open source e-learining platforms and the
modification/adaptation of such platforms as well as on m-learining and t-learning and is
managing the TIPS project.
Ideas for a potential project
e-Portfolio for Immigrants
The proposal aims to develop a portfolio of competences for immigrants thru an on-line course,
with the purpose of making their integration easyer.
Ideas for a potential project
EuroProject Design for School Leaders
The proposal aims to develop a course on how to develop European Projects aimed at School
Principals and School Heads. The course will be delivered in e-learning modality and will include a
practical exercise leading to the submission of a proposal.

Desired partner profile / sector
Intercultural associations, Centres of Education or VET organizations, working as promoter on
the development and management of European Union projects within the education and
mobility scope, normally within the framework of the Lifelong Learning Programme;
Institutions and organizations providing learning opportunities in the fields covered by the
Leonardo da Vinci Programme;
Teachers, trainers and other staff within Educational and Training institutions or organizations;
Associations and representatives of Organization involved in vocational education and training,
including trainees', parents' and teachers' associations;
Enterprises, social partners and other representatives of working life, including chambers of
commerce and other trade organizations.
Ideas for a potential project
Our idea comes out from a detailed analysis of needs of pre-service vocational training courses
showed by as young as adult school attendants of our Institution, who aims at undertaking a
professional or commercial activity in the touristic field at national or international level.
The touristic field in the region of Campania, even if showing good results in the last few years,
works in a general contest where the professional training courses in a hand are not supported
enough by the investment companies and, on the other hand, point out the lack of innovative
basic themes.
Otherwise, our Institution Giustino Fortunato, offering vocational programmes in Travel &
Tourism or in Business & Accounting and implementing Compulsory School Attending Courses
(Obbligo Formativo - IFTS) in cooperation with local touristic agencies and universities, aims at
adapting the local VET system to the country’s socio-economic needs, applying to LdV Mobility
call for proposal joining partnerships with European training organizations dealting with the
tourist field.
The main aim of the proposal would be: to organise an Educational and Training programme to
develop and improve an in-depth acknowledgement and attainment of the basis competences,
useful to acquire and manage the specific information and tools in the field of touristic services. It
could leads to give to the participants good know-how and great competences in accordance with
the international labour market needs.
Moreover, we are interested in learning more and jointing a partnership in a TOI project focused
on Adults Education and Continuous Training of Workers as a new experience for our Institution.

Ideas for a potential project
Title of the project: “Theatre and Jail in Europe: continuous education model in order to support
creativity and innovation”
The project idea is based on the experience carried out with the Grundtvig Project “Theatre and
Jail in Europe” 2004/2006 whose goals were:
□ To integrate and consolidate theatrical experiences in jail contexts in Europe in order to single
out shared intervention and verification models.
□ To analyze the experiences in the partner countries, to single out good practices.
□ To promote and support professional qualifications of categories of jail workers such as: social
workers and cultural workers, jail wardens.
□ To promote and support learning and professional training itineraries for inmates and former
inmates through the use of non formal languages.
The following results/products were:
□ The research carried out in the partner countries allowed to single out a complex, diversified
and developing jail reality on a European level with problems such as overcrowding, old and
unsuitable structures.
37
The regulations of all the jails involved in the research entail the possibility of starting
“training” itineraries for recuperating, rehabilitating and socializing the prisoners by means of
cultural, recreational and sports activities and work outside the jail..
The theatrical performances in a jail context is a consolidated practice on a European level
allowing to:
a) improve the basic knowledge and skills of the prisoners;
b) through the theatrical productions the jail opens to the society and consequently it also
becomes a training and culture institution.
□ Book of good practices, it is a collection of the methodologies, processes, materials and tools
which demonstrated to be effective in the partner countries.
Our idea of a multilateral project for innovation transfer aims at building an innovative model
suitable to different targets, sectors and contexts allowing the theatrical performances in jail to
develop its full innovative potential and to produce the foreseen consequences.
The partnership includes some partners who participated to the previous project such as Carte
Blanche (Italy) project leader; EscapeArtists (England); Théâtre de l’Opprimé (France); AufBruch
Kunst Gefangnis Stadt (Germany) and new partners (university institutes and other organizations
having specific teaching, technological skills including project management).
The reference target shall be: in the short term – workers of the associations/institutions working
within the jail, social workers and cultural association workers, jail guard; in the medium-long
term - inmates and/or other disadvantaged target people.
The transfer shall concern: jails from Northern and Central Italy; the University of Milan – Bicocca,
Faculty of Educational Sciences in order to produce training for the trainees and the Leoamici
Foundation – Komlo (Hungary) which will use the model for targeted drug addicts and alcoholics.
The following activities shall be planned:
□ Definition and analysis of the needs of the subjects and of the organizations working in jails,
interested in the transfer.
□ Selection, analysis and adaptation of the existing material/contents
□ Creation and implementation of the Learning management System
□ Creation of the E-Learning modules
□ Production of DVD containing a selection of the backstage and of the performances having
taken place in the European jails.
□ Establishment of the European Centre of Theatre and Jail in Europe.
□ Organization of an international festival of Theatre in Jail by the end of the project.

Profile/sector of the organization
University of Ege was established in 1955. There are 11 faculties connected in University of Ege.
Faculty of Fisheries is one of them. The aim of the faculty of fisheries established in 1982 is to
train technical workers (fisheries engineer) in the field of fisheries, aquaculture, and technology
and fish disease at the end of four years education in faculty. Fishing and Processing Technology
Department is formed by separate main areas as Fishing Technology and Processing Technology.
Fish Processing Department deals with all the problems about quality and quality assurance in the
fish industry, during processing and consuming.
Except education, academic stuff goes on studying in various fields. This department cooperates
with the public establishments such as Ministry of Agriculture, Municipalities and Processing
plants that support scientific researches like The Scientific and Technology Application and
Research Center (TUBITAK) and Ege Science Technology Application and Research Center
(EBILTEM).
Main research activities are; Development and application of methods for food control of fish and
fish products, Making suggestions about international standards of fish and fish products,
Composition of raw materials and fish products (macro and micro components, undesirable
components and contaminants, Quality (chemical, physical, microbiological and sensory analysis
together with the spoilage indicators), Processing technology.
Desired partner profile / sector
Partners who are experienced in fish industry (fish processing , fish farms, fisheries) or meat
industry (welfare) or food industry (food safety and hygiene specialised in seafood).
Ideas for a potential project
Employees in the seafood industry are more highly motivated when they have undergone
appropriate training. This is particularly true of food hygiene training. Seafood, with a few known
exceptions, is an inherently safe food. Seafood safety issues are almost always caused by humanfactors such as poor handling, poor cleanliness and poor temperature control. There are
consequently difficulties in ensuring product quality and customer satisfaction. And concerning
about fish welfare, including the time of slaughter, is nowadays gaining interest both at consumer
and at producer level, even if the choices made by aquaculture operators often respond to the
39
need to maximise benefits, not always evaluating them in respect to animal welfare.
The main aim of this project is therefore to promote training and education for all fishery and
seafood industry employees, students, young people concerned with the process during from
farm to the consumer. This project will help to improve the standards of seafood hygiene and
safety in fish farms, fish plants and similar retail foundations dealing with fish.
Training and education in this project will focus on the topics; Fish welfare and quality as affected
by pre-slaughter and slaughter methods , Improve the European standards of food hygiene and
safety, to be informed about latest regulations to know how to implement and apply these
regulations.
The partners will develop a common training program. The partners will design and implement a
new training program designed for students in initial training, young people who have recently
started work, and adults in continuing training.

Profile/sector of the organization
“Pietro Scalcerle” Institute is located in Padova, a city in the north-east of Italy, near Venice, a
mostly flat region but with groups of hills and the wonderful Alps nearby. The area is full of small
factories, which are giving Italy a new economic impulse at present. The school has got three
branches: a linguistic section, a chemical-biological one, and one on nutrition.
• Linguistic course: a five-year course during which the students study three foreign
languages chosen from English, French, German, Spanish and Russian. After the final
diploma they can either attend university or find a job in the tourist field.
• Chemical-biological course: a five-year course focused on the study of scientific subjects
which enables the students either to become laboratory technicians (Chemistry,
Biochemistry and Microbiology) or to attend university.
• Nutrition course: a five-year course during which the students specialize in food
technology; after the final diploma, they can either work in the catering field or attend
university.
• Our school partecipates in a lot of projects:
• Work placement in Italy and abroad with Leonardo mobility
• Senegal-India project
• River Brenta project
• Student exchanges with European partners
• Comenius projects
• Music, dance, theatre, chess workshops, sport activities, school magazine
• Test centre for ECDL courses and certification
These cooperation activities help the staff and the students renovate their teaching/learning
methods, find out new solutions to the increasing pedagogical demands and motivate the study of
foreign languages.
Collaboration with foreign countries is a tradition of the Institute and the presence of a lot of
students coming from all over the world helps build a climate of mutual understanding and
tolerance.
Modern teaching techniques are constantly employed with the help of all the facilities offered by
42
the school: Library, Computer rooms, Video rooms, Multimedia self-access centre.
Desired partner profile / sector
We want to strengthen the bonds between the different EU-countries in our partnership amongst
students and teachers by learning about and experiencing life in the different European countries
by hosting and visiting students from abroad. This will be achieved by practising their
communication skills in the different foreign language (English, Russian, Spanish, German, and
French)
For the students of our language course we are looking for work placements in the tourist,
administrative and trade fields. Our students have also had previous experiences working with
children in primary schools.
The students of the chemical course have a good knowledge of scientific subjects as well as the
competences to work in a chemistry lab. So we are looking for partners who can offer them the
possibility to put into practise what they know. The only foreign language they study is English.
English is also the only language studied in the nutrition course; for these students we need work
placements in the catering or similar fields, for instance a school canteen could be suitable.
The students participating to the project are trainees in initial vocational training, they are 17 - 18
years old and they should be working for 3 -5 weeks possibly during summer holidays.
Ideas for a potential project
“Creative mind and entrepreneurial skills: a workshop for Europe” is the title of the new project.
We cooperate in net with another institute of Padova “Giovanni Valle” that has got other
branches with different subjects; for instance they have photography, graphic design, tourist,
marketing and business courses.
Our objective is to highlight the creativity of our industrial organisation, made up mainly by small
and medium business, a system which is wide spread in our area.
This system needs constant innovation and new ideas and we want to increase our students
interest in this, also by getting them to know different realities of productivity.
Another objective is to reduce any prejudices and strengthen inter-cultural open mindedness of
the participating students; one of the most important factors of such mutual understanding is
experiencing life in a host family or country.
Visiting places of special cultural and historical importance will show all the project participant
the rich diversity of our common cultural heritage.

Ideas for a potential project
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a concept whereby companies integrate social and
environmental concerns in their business operations and in their interaction with their
stakeholders on a voluntary basis. The Comparative Analysis of the Practices of CSR in Hotel
Chains Project has the following aims:
1. Identification of a definition of CSR which encompasses all participating countries.
2. Evaluation of CSR in hotel chains, through their practices.
3. Identification of the motivations that have led to the adoption of responsible practices in
their businesses.
4. Identification of hotel chains’ stakeholders and analysis of their implication in the
development of the business.
5. Selection of outstanding companies on the basis of their CSR practices.
44
6. Characterisation of the socio-demographic profile of the senior management of these
companies. The Upper Echelon Theory may help to explain business decisions regarding
CSR, and hence the degree of development of this policy.
7. Dissemination of the results at relevant scientific conferences and journals in the fields of
corporate governance and tourism, such as Academy of Management (AOM), European
Academy of Management (EURAM), and so on.

Profile/sector of the organization
“Isabella Morra” and “Leonardo da Vinci” together is a Secondary Vocational School concearning
with different sectors of studies. It provides its students occupational opportunities on different
sectors : electronics and telecommunications, electricity, mechanics, energetic sources and
renewable energies ( “Leonardo da Vinci” ); chemistry and biology, fashon and design, tourism,
social studies, business and economy ( “Isabella Morra” ).
The school is also a local support centre for drop-out students, parents in difficulties, immigrants
and disadvantaged people ( these activities are carried out in cooperation with other schools and
local authorities ).
The School staff is composed by about 130 teachers. About 1050 students, aged 14-19, attend the
school. Most of the students are involved in extra curricula activities, very often related to their
course of studies.
The school staff is proud to help almost 40 attending handicapped students and their family.
These students are involved in school and extra curricula activities. “Isabella Morra” has a great
tradition on disabled teaching and it’s a good support for many different kinds of disabilities.
The school has a good numbers of modern and efficient laboratories, outdoor and inside the 2
buildings (“Morra” and “da Vinci”).
Desired partner profile / sector
We would like to join partnerships with other Vocational Secondary Schools involved in similar
sectors of studies and/or other Associations and Authorities related to vocational studies or social
support of difficulties of any kind.
Ideas for a potential project
The main idea is giving to a selected group of students ( mainly aged 17-18 ) the possibility to
practice their vocational stages abroad. This could be a good opportunity for them to improve
their foreign language and, above all, to put their knowledge to the test in different geographical
realities.
The transfer of innovation by means of students’ exchange would be improved thanks to both the
46
teachers’ cooperation and other authorities’ support ( such as professional figures strictly
connected to the sectors of studies and vocational stages involved in the project ).
A part of the project ( in this case truly “ innovative”, especially in a social sense ) must concern
the integration of disabled students ( and their parents or support teachers, if possible ) in the
stages abroad.
The outcomes will be the truly transfer of innovation to people that don’ t always have the
opportunity to have a good chance.

Profile/sector of the organization
The Cultural Club 'Africa' is an association of volunteers which organizes initiatives to promote a
general awakening and the analysis in depth of themes such as the North-South world
relationship, immigration and intercultural themes, fair trade, international co-operation etc.
Promoting peace, human rights and co-operation among people are the main objectives of our
organization.
Along with this, we are ready to start civil battle against every evidence of ignorance, intolerance,
racism and alienation. Therefore those situation are or could potentially be action areas of the
Club.
To achieve these points we have been co-operating for several years with other groups of
volunteers and local non-profit organizations to encourage the spreading of a real communication
culture in which dialogue and relationships are the main resources for an active citizenship.
Inside the organization are working six people on daily base, sharing activities in the main fields of
interest, which are migration, international cooperation and youth international mobility.
Together with them, are working the volunteers, both national and international, following single
working
aspects.
Our activities address on one hand on youth of our city (in general between 18 and 30 years old),
and mainly to second generation migrants, intended as children of immigrants, who are in the
delicate position of being no more in their own country, and not yet well integrated in the new
one.
On the other hand, we actively support migrants’ associations, helping them with bureaucracy
problems and organizing activities together. Speaking about the activities promoted for the local
community, as meetings, conferences, cultural workshops, the target group is much larger, either
in age and in personal background.
The most important activities among the several we promote has been:
- The creation and implementation of a research centre for the active citizenship, giving support
and counseling also for bachelor thesis and university researches;
- Organization of annual “Festa dei Popoli” (“People Festival”, a summer music and cultural
festival held in our city as tribute to intercultural exchange and dialogue);
- More than 20 volunteers hosted and more than 10 sent within a framework of EVS;
49
- Several cooperation with international organisations through the Anna Lindh foundation and
Euromed projects (i.e: dialogue between Israel and Palestine’s organization);
- Agreements with University of Macerata, Polytechnic University of Marche (Ancona) and
University of Florence;
- Organization of two online courses per year on migration and international cooperation with
University of Macerata;
- Organize every year an African Movie Festival together the COE;
- Construction of computer lab in Bethlehem (Palestine) awarded by the Province of Ancona and
Fondazione Cariverona;
- Member of the “Tavola della Pace” which organize every year a series of seminar on peace at
provincial level with the support of several Municipalities of the Ancona Province and the
Province of Ancona as well;
- Member of the “Coordinamento della Pace” who had been awarded by the Marche Region of a
grant to develop a virtual world map of the conflicts with which document and update the world
situation and promote in School, universities;
- The Circolo won in 2007 the prize as the best ethnic club at national level by the Arci;
- For the third year the Region Marche granted to the Circolo a project for the promotion of active
citizenship within the migrants, migrants’s organization and mainly to the second generation
migrants;
- Cooperation with CIR (Consorzio Italiano per i Rifugiati) to support the Refugees;
- Developing an internet radio (www.radioafrica.eu) to promote youth activities and active
citizenship documentation centre’s activities;
- Organization of an annual European day party for the young people;
- Research on relation between mass media and migration.

Desired partner profile / sector
We do not have preferences in project partners’ profile. AINova is a non-governmental
organisation cooperating with public sector mostly.
Ideas for a potential project
In the field of mobility projects focused on Tourism and Culture we would like to 1/establish
international contacts; 2/ learn more about the ways and means of tourism development in other
countries; 3/take part in the international projects with similar goals or goals which could help to
our work in tourism development in the Lesser Carpathians’ region.
Our idea is to bring to our region group of agents promoting tourism; gave them information
about cultural and natural values of the region during workshops, excursions, field trips,
presentations, visits to wine producers, etc. The whole activity could be organised e.g. in the form
of a one-week visit/summer school, or other type of mobility. We expect that our representatives
will similarly participate at the visits in other countries, so that the best practices of
tourism/culture development could be then utilised in each participating country.
Concerning projects related to transfer of innovation in Lifelong Learning and Education of adults
we are open for participation in the projects where we can earn new practices/knowledge either
in the content or method of teaching. AINova is active in the field of protection of cultural and
natural heritage, European Integration, tourism, foreign languages and besides classical training is
63
developing distance education and e-learning methods.

Profile/sector of the organization
Veria is the capital city of the Prefecture of Imathia, which is located in the northern borders of
Greece and belongs to the region of Central Macedonia. It is 362,60 Km² in size and its population
amounts to 43.638 inhabitants. Veria constitutes an important crossroad connecting the region of
Eastern Macedonia with the region of Western Macedonia and it possesses a central position on
the axis of Egnatia highway. The Municipality consists of 11 municipal departments. It is
surrounded by the forests of “Vermion” and “Pieria”, areas of natural beauty. Across the town
passes the river “Trippotamos”, the rocky banks of which and its special flora create a stunning
natural environment. The organization of the economy of Veria has a traditional character with a
weak productive base, low degree of extroversion and a majority of small and medium size
enterprises. 8.76% of the financially active population is occupied in the primary sector, 21,99% in
the secondary and 66.78 % in the tertiary sector. During the last decades a considerable number
of immigrants were installed in Veria and the surrounding area. They mostly come from Eastern
and Balkan countries, as well as a small number from EU countries. So far, a number of actions
have been taken for their social integration and some other measures are planned for the future.
The city of Veria is ancient in origin and appeared in historical texts around the 5th century BC. It
grew rapidly and kept its importance through time. Nearby are the ruins of the Vergina palace
used by King Philip and his son, Alexander the Great. The archaeological remnants date from
different historic periods. Its 48 Byzantine and post – Byzantine churches, preserved, decorated
with mural paintings are famous. Veria has important cultural infrastructures and institutions
which encourage different cultural activities. Four museums are in function nowadays
(archaeological, byzantine, historic and museum of education), while soon the folklore museum is
expected to open to the public. The Municipality owns a number of cultural enterprises, such as
the Public Benefit Enterprise for Multiple Development and the Public Benefit Enterprise for
Sports, Education and Environment, the Municipal Peripheral Theatre, the Municipal Library, the
Center of European Studies and the Institute of Balkan Architecture. Last but not least, the Public
Library and the institution of Historic Archive, which have a vigorous presence in the town,
organize many cultural activities, while different communities present important cultural events
during the year.
69
The Municipality has implemented various projects within the framework of Communal
Programmes and Initiatives, such as urban recreation of the historic center of the town,
installation of broadband networks, projects for training and advisory, programs of employment,
etc.
The development planning of the Municipality of Veria focuses mainly on the cultural heritage,
natural resources and environment, economic growth and employment.
In particular, some of the development priorities embrace the following:
 further development of tourism through the improvement and modernization of
infrastructure and the improvement of services
 integration of natural elements, such as water, in the everyday life of the city’s inhabitants
 development of international cooperation and materialization of innovative actions with
the aim to upgrade the environmental, cultural and economic profile of the City
Desired partner profile / sector
It depends on the project
Ideas for a potential project
The Municipality of Veria invests a lot in tourism and culture for the economic development of
the area and for a better quality of life. Within this frame, it is organising different actions
relevant to:
 The creation of cultural routes within the borders of the Municipality and in a broader
geographic area
 The participation to relevant networks
 The improvement of the image of the town and its cultural and natural heritage
 Tourist promotion
 Organization of different cultural events all over the year
However, different problems emerge either in the private or the public sector. They involve:
 The quality of services offered
 The lack of specialized persons concerning managerial aspects for tourism and culture
 The lack of specialized persons at different aspects of culture and tourism
 The indifference of a large majority of the local population to the protection of cultural
and natural property
Moreover, in some cases:
 The interest of people in participating to training courses and training activities, in general,
is limited.
 Training, though otherwise expected, does not respond to real needs and objectives of the
project.
 Common training methods are proved inadequate to keep the interest of participants in
class.
 The selection of trainees is proved not quite responding to the aims of the educational
programme
From all above, different projects involving either mobility or transfer of innovation focused on
adult’s education or continuous training could come out and be discussed. Such projects could be:
 Promote learning opportunities through exchanges among local authorities managers, or
business executives and officials of public or private sector
70



Creation of an e-learning system, common to participants from different countries with
similar interests
Investigation and promotion of methods for designing seminars or courses responding to
certain needs and at the same time attractive to trainees
Investigation and promotion of methods for selecting the proper persons according to the
demands of the projects

Desired partner profile / sector
Eurotrain collaborates with Accademia Europea, its twin organization, in the frame of mobility. In
fact, Eurotrain hosted several trainees in the frame of social work with LdV Projects promoted by
Accademia Europea and promoted a number of projects in the frame of international cooperation
as a sending organization.
Eurotrain and Accademia Europea look for partners involved in the Leonardo da Vinci sector, for
both receiving and sending departments: organizations, Public Bodies, Schools and Training
Agencies.
With its large number of contacts achieved in over 15 years of experience in mobility projects and
specially as a receiving organization, Accademia Europea di Firenze can guarantee a high level of
satisfacion to the participants who decide to spend some months in Florence with a LdV project in
relevant sectors such as Art, Restoration, Graphics, Architecture, Tourism, Catering, Events
Organization, IT, Health Care, and many others.
72
Ideas for a potential project
In many years of experience in Florence and around Florence Accademia Europea collected a
huge number of companies willing to collaborate in the frame of mobility by hosting trainees.
Therefor Accademia Europea di Firenze and Eurotrain can count on a large net of companies both
in and around Florence. The two organizations would like to host trainees for multi-professional
projects or also be partner in the development of theme-oriented LdV projects in the frame of
mobility, for example concerning Social Work, Tourism, Green Areas and Natural Parks and so on.

Profile/sector of the organization
“Eugen Lovinescu” Secondary School ( with classes I – XII ) is acknowledged as an important
educational unit of urban district 6, Bucharest.
The school premises are three buildings, one for primary and junior school, one for secondary
school, and a gymnasium, is suitable to accommodate the approximately 1400 students enrolled
in daytime courses of primary, junior and secondary schools.. Their instruction is ensured, with
professionalism and dedication, by 104 teachers, out of whom 41 have got the first didactic
degree, while the administrative, office and maintenance work is performed by 23 employees.
At the request of The Ministry of Education, Research and Youth, since September 1999 “Eugen
Lovinescu” Secondary School with classes I – XII has been carrying out a special project of bilingual
study of the Portuguese language, being the only educational unit in Bucharest to have this status, on
the grounds of the concluded Agreement of Cultural, Educational and Scientific Co-operation (1997)
between Romania and Portugal, and of the meeting in Lisbon of the two Ministers of Education
(January 31- February 2, 1999).
Assuming this responsibility, between 1999 and 2003 we wrote and handed in to The Ministry of
Education, Research and Youth, The Institute of Education Science, The National Department of
Evaluation and Examination the syllabuses of Portuguese Language, of History and Geography of
Portugal, of Culture and Civilisation, the syllabuses for the test of Portuguese Language in the
National Baccalaureate Examination, the syllabuses for the elective courses of Portuguese, and
the syllabuses of Portuguese language study for classes V – VIII. In 2003 the first promotion of
the bilingual course of Portuguese language successfully passed the threshold Examination of
Baccalaureate in this subject, also obtaining the certification of language competence.
The teachers and the students of our secondary school prove their interest in focusing on the
European dimension of education by curricular and extra-curricular projects.
Thus, we can mention:

OUR EDUCATIONAL PROFILE AND EXPERTISE
Ideas for a potential project
The seminar ”A Contact in Italy, an Action in Europe” enables the participants to establish
contacts, obtain information, find partners and exchange ideas and initiatives in order for our
school to start a Leonardo Da Vinci project.
The school principal, a methodologist of the City of Bucharest School Inspectorate, took part in
the elaboration of a Leonardo – mobilities project, submitted by the “Mihai Bravu” Industrial
Secondary School in 2008, focusing to the initial training of Physics methodologists and mentors.
The project was not declared eligible, but the SWOT analysis made by the Municipal Board of
Physics pointed out the necessity of initial and continual training of mentors and methodologists,
in order to:
 become better acquainted with - and improve the usage of new laboratory
techniques, in view of the collaboration with didactic materials production units;
 raise the efficiency of practical activities already existing in Physics school curricula,
so that phenomena specific to various sub-branches of Physics may be connected;
 achieve innovation and information transfer in the experimental field, in view of
identifying new techniques or experiments and creating the necessary equipment.
This goal is attainable by collaborating with specialists and the teaching staff in
higher education;
 identify possible collaboration with didactic material manufacturing units and with
the teaching staff in higher education, that may lead to pinpointing and improving
research methods and equipment in the interdisciplinary experimental field, for
78

Physics, Chemistry and Biology, with special focus on IT technology;
apply the decisions of the Declaration of Copenhagen in the field of scientific
testing innovating and experimenting.

 locate this unknown tourist districts in own country and in the partner country,
 suggest the way how to improve those districts.
Unknown tourist district is an area which is not world famous but it has something interesting
(lore, natural monuments, culture monuments, sports activities etc.) The place must have genius

specific training activities in the field of reference and therefore a low propensity of young
people, especially new graduates to consider it as a potential field of professional development.

Profile/sector of the organization
INOLABOR is a small enterprise that was set up in October 2004. The main sectors of organization
(CAE) are the audiovisual production for education and VET, research and development of
products and services, Elearning content for VET, computer activities and multimedia, marketing
and publicity.
Desired partner profile / sector
Education and job institutions, VET professionals and VET enterprises, audiovisual enterprises,
educational televisions channels, non formal and informal learning institutions, learning
languages and deaf institutions.
Ideas for a potential project
The purpose of this project is adapting, developing and implementing across Europe, an
audiovisual product, connected by a serial fiction named “investigators”. The complete project
has three parts: 1) An egame. 2) An audiovisual series. 3) A television educational program real
show. For now we are interested in parts 1 and 2, unless a TV channel is interested. This project
will produce a European student net, connected by a website that is the “investigators club”. This
is here where everything begins. In this “club” everybody can be an “investigator”, but for that
they should play the research game in the site and respect other rules. The winners will
be selected for the audiovisual fiction. The fiction aims to bring into schools, near the parents and
mainly near the students, peaces of the real labour word. This is an investigation made by
the students. The project will produce European DVD’s, connecting the adventure of job research,
in the real word labour research in different countries, an adventure made by a group at least 8
main student characters. With this product we aim to bring innovative vocational training tools,
to facilitate the exchange off information and best practice, and sharing of experience and cooperation between European vocational education training systems. We expect to improve a
continuous training of teachers by the connections with the enterprises.

students who have to ameliorate their English language.
Ideas for a potential project
Our study center wants to give to 30 young people, already qualified in tourist sector, the

In fact, the current regional training courses don’t permit to reach an appropriate result in this
way. For this reason, we are searching English organizations interested to cooperate with us,
hosting our students and planning them a work experience in England.
We are aware that only improving the English knowledge, filling a weakness point, find a good job
in tourism could be easier.

organizational aspects, monitoring and assessment of the project activities are the main services
that we are looking for.

Sector : Linguistics
Organizations from public or private sector specialised in language teaching (FR, IT, ES, EN), in

language. Universities, training centers. We are also looking for local and regional public
authorities .
Ideas for a potential project
Transfert of innovation of a regional 2007 project from the Basque country .
Project title: “Say it right”: Creation and dissemination of a specific ICT tool for learning
languages (FR, EN, IT, ES) through pronunciation.
Say It right is a language-learning initiative that focuses on the importance of pronunciation in
learning a language rather than structural and lexical aspects.
The end product will be a multilingustic language platform in which each student/worker/user
will log on via internet and be able to automatically convert each text document into a spoken
text in one of the 4 languages above using a simple multilingual browser system. The
student/worker/user will then be able to download the audio format to a portable device (MP3,
3G mobile, PDA, Blackberry, etc) and listen to and replay the selected audio document as many
times as they like.On a wider basis, we hope that in the long term the learning system put
forward in this project becomes a complementary system to the conventional or more modern
systems existing.We trust that this new tool will be able to mark a turning point in the offer of
language learning systems in the EU.

Software development for training
Desired partner profile / sector
Training, tourism, software development, languages…
Ideas for a potential project
Transfert of Innovation of the Leonardo Taxi Drivers project to the tourism sector specially rural,
cultural and environmental
Objectives and results
The project aims to produce training contents, available to the target group of tourism sector
(hotel, restaurants, rural houses, bed and breakfast, etc) which as well as being specific to their
needs will also be accessible at all times from their own work place through different terminals
(PDAS, 3rd and 4th generation phones, pocket PC, etc).
To achieve this the following actions will be carried out:
- Learn about the real need for linguistic training in Europe for the recipient collective, in
addition to the existing training offer.
- Develop some linguistic training modules which are specifically adapted to the needs and
characteristics of the recipient collective. New contents and training materials will be
drawn up, designed and experimented using new innovative technological methods
applied to ICTs. The specific training contents will be directly related to the professional
activity and they will home in on particularly relevant topics related to culture, leisure, art,
tourism, etc. In addition contents will be designed in English giving details of the local and
regional aspects (Santiago de compostela way, biosphere reserves, rural tourism)
- Develop new training media and tools by using new training technologies and then
applying the needs which were detected from the collective of owners, managers,
workers, employes
- Diffuse and raise awareness in the EU about the products and the results of the project via
136
internal and external media.
In short, what is achieved is a change in the usual professional training practices in Europe. The
electronic learning proposed in this project has been created with the intention of improving
traditional training structures, creating a new learning culture which promotes intuitive,
constructive, creative and critical knowledge, thereby making it possible for people who, for one
reason for another, cannot or will not be trained by traditional training methods.
Partnerships
We are looking for private and public organisations coming especially from France, Portugal and
Italy coming from different activity sectors (Public administration, training centres, research
centres, SMEs, regional consortiums, tourism Association, etc).
Finally, it is hoped in the mid and long term that this project can become another initiative
working towards achieving objectives fixed by the European Council in Barcelona and for the
Commision’s Action Plan in 2003, meaning, promoting a more favourable European tourism,
cultural and linguistic environment.

Profile/sector of the organization
CTANM is a training and research unit belonging to the POLITEHNICA University, acting for
defining and implementing both b-Learning current internal procedures and university’s LLL farfuture development strategy.
Experienced in European projects since 1994, CTANM holds proven capacities which define it as a
reliable and innovative partner. Human resources selection base of near 3.000 academic staff,
direct personal contacts in more than 100 European institutions, nationwide recognition and
organizational and financial autonomy are making from CTANM an ideal partner for long-term
cooperation.
Desired partner profile / sector
All types of institutions and organizations able to bring consistent contributions in the Life Long
Learning domain, either by willing to develop own innovative ideas or to establish specialized
associations and networks, to develop, adapt, implement or valorise own innovative or effective
content, methodologies or tools, acting either as a development unit, testing target or vector to
different target groups. Priority is given to prospective partners looking for developing rather
structured systems and strategies than individual products.
Ideas for a potential project
1. Member of the board of the European Net-Trainers Association, CTANM is looking to enlarge
the number of countries in which the European Net-Trainer Certificate is provided and also to find
new partners from countries where the ENTA Certificate is already delivered but the quality of
the training has to be improved.
ENTA is going to apply for a TOI project, coordinated by CTANM, to facilitate this enlargement and
strengthening of the current partnership. Updates of the current course content and delivering
technologies will be performed, together with translation, adaptation and localization for the new
partner countries. New partners from countries already in the association will have to implement
the required technologies and staff skills and are expected to bring also solid contributions to the
quality assurance system.
140
2.
Aligned to the idea that language learning will benefit more and more from the advantages of
blended learning, CTANM is going to apply, together with a group of experienced, tested
partners, for a partnership project aiming to establish the basis for adapting the current product
to new target groups, new delivering technologies and new beneficiaries’ needs.
The blended learning aspects of the project will be more visible in the “train the trainers” specific
products going to be developed.
Because the future language courses will be characterized by strong national characteristics, the
cohesion of the whole future training network will be assured by implementing common
computer infrastructure and technologies, human resources skills similarity based on common
staff training system and also common quality assurance system.
3.
CTANM is able to participate, as a “technological” partner, in projects where specialized IT
partner institutions are needed.
Part of a technical university with 25.000 students and more than 2.500 academic staff, CTANM
can practically access and act in any IT related field.
Skilled academic staff, with competencies in emerging Web 2.0 and cloud computing
technologies, and specialized technical staff, managing e-Learning platforms with several
thousand accounts and almost one thousand courses, is currently participating in CTANMs
projects and research contracts.

Ideas for a potential project
ATHENA is a Lifelong Learning - Leonardo da Vinci mobility project for people on the labour
market. It is focused on the field of “conservation, promotion, valorisation and protection of
Cultural and Environmental Heritage”.
The project is promoted by several organisations in Sicily with a transnational partnership. The
comparison between the different and more dynamic economic realities of the partner countries
will allow the exchange of good practice examples and know-how from European countries
involved in the project to Italy.
The main target of ATHENA is made up by people on the labour market (young workers or
unemployed, and recent graduates) aged from 20 to 30 years old with basic skills and not relevant
practical experience in the above-mentioned field. The project is aimed at helping them to
acquire new professional and transversal skills thus answering to their training needs (which will
be properly analysed also thanks to an individual “competence balance”). They will experience a
14 weeks placement in enterprises (working in the field of conservation, promotion, valorisation
and protection of Cultural and Environmental Heritage) located in the partner country. After
their training abroad, which will be duly certified by the host enterprises and by the sending
organisations, through the EUROPASS MOBILITY, they will be helped to assess their new skills
(final part of the competence balance) and to identify new job opportunities, including
entrepreneurship, in the “cultural services” field.

Ideas for a potential project
The European Commission, with the Leonardo da Vinci programme 2000-2006 and the new
integrated programme Lifelong Learning, identifies in the creation of ICT tools and computer
devices of interconnection a strategic tool to promote access for European citizens to
information, essential for the choice and for the active participation in the EU educational and
training opportunities.
Specifically the actions provided for, through portals and DB, are:
the integration between the European dimension and national circumstances, that’s to
say the use of European, national and regional instruments, to disseminate information taking
into account the different geographical and cultural peculiarities (e.g. PLOTEUS);
the connection between services of institutional derivation and private services, that
enhances the importance of the not formal or informal channels in the process of dissemination
of information;
The coordination of services that permits a point of contact of demand/supply and other
146
services to the person (social, guidance, informational services, etc.), in order to facilitate the
sharing of specific knowledge, of sources and resources, and in order to create territorial
integrated systems which satisfy the plurality of the needs of citizens/users in different EU
countries. (e.g. EURES).
The main subject of our new project proposal called "BASICS" will be the definition of a structure
and/or of a general model, through an ICT platform, for the creation and testing of an information
service and of the information’s provision to final user and operators. We want to realize this ICT
platform to promote the matching of supply and demand of training opportunities in terms of:
"traineeships information and guidance", not related to predefined systems, such as: Leonardo
da Vinci or to specific iter of education and training.
Particular attention will be dedicated to the socialization of the information between operators
and services at a national and international level and the cooperation and interchange, through
the link of sources and data.
The use of an innovative instrument, as a website Portal for the matching of demand with supply
of stages (traineeships), that from a simple terminal with executive functions becomes a knot of a
network of services for the training, education and labour, and promoter in turn of territorial
networks that will allow it to "Use all the resources of the territory, both public and private" and
to provide the new services expected under the European and Italian reforms that concern/will
cover the areas of training or work.
Outcomes and impact: The project provides for the implementation of a tool to promote the
triangular exchanges useful for: youngsters, operators, companies. This instrument, through the
collection, the comparison and the testing of best practices in use in different contexts (school,
university, world of work) and taken from different initiatives (programmes and Community
initiatives, pilot projects and national and international) will be tested, developed and spread
from the perspective of sharing resources, tools and methodologies, for the geographical mobility
of European citizens.
We can list some of the products that the project could be achieved,:
e-learning platform focused on training for access to employment, that promotes the
training of future trainees in order to the issues related to the guidance to professional choice,
the job insertion, the techniques of active research of a job, the techniques of self-marketing, the
importance of the life and transversal skills and European key competences required from the
labour market in Europe, the legislation of the stage and the availability for spending of their
profession,
tool: instrument which, in the light of outcomes that other pilot projects have done (see
e.g. Spazio stage), will be transferred, to be tested, in new territorial and/or sectoral contexts;
handbook: publication to collect the phases in the experimentation of model from being
able to transfer at international level and the information on the system of monitoring and
evaluation developed during the project;
workshop: thematic event during which it will run an activity of peer learning between
operators involved in European level in the promotion of mobility of young stagier Europe.
Through the involvement of actors who have a fundamental role in the sector of the stage,
another objective will be to include those interlocutors (social services, centre for information,
Employment offices, etc.) which, although not obvious, perform important functions for those
who want to live an experience significant, as a training job experience, abroad.

Profile/sector of the organization
The Department of Youth Policies of Municipality of Cagliari opened and manages the Youth
Centre (Centro Giovani), a multifunctional structure located in the city centre. It is a meeting
point for youth people where they can find information about opportunities at local, national and
international levels.
Current projects are related to school and professional guidance, anti dispersion school, training,
enhancement of free-time and personal attitudes.
Youth Centre promotes several interventions in the field of youth policies. It creates specified
perspectives for young people to reflect their creativity. There are many regional prospects that
increase youth entrepreneurship and handicrafts. Furthermore, it is a member of GAI (Young
Italian Artist Circuit) that designs production and testing networks to exchange young artists.
Youth Centre collaborates with four major Centres of Art called “Camù Consortium”, which aims
to involve people, above all the youngest, in cultural activities such as exhibitions of art, art
performances and art trainings.
Besides different administrative executives, several young people of National Civil Service are
employed in the Department and in the Youth Centre. This is a big strength because who writes
the projects and who works in the front offices knows the real needs of young people.
Youth Centre implemented several projects in the field of youth culture: programmes and
policies, which have culture as a factor for employment creation among young people, culturally
diverse communities, or disadvantaged sectors of the local community.
In particular, it implements policies to foster youth activities such as, for example, grant for
young couples who want to rent or buy a house, Kyoto protocol prizes to activate environment
education and many free language courses.
Moreover the Department of Youth Policies created a Network of departments of youth policies
in 83 municipalities of Sardinia aiming to create synergies among different policy makers, to
share the best practices and ideas. The main objectives are to offer new opportunities to young
people, to promote youth exchanges, active citizenship of young people and to build up new
meeting points for young people.
150
Youth Centre has also its own virtual island on Second Life, where young people can enquire and
where they can be guided to the services offered. In addition the politicians involved in youth
programmes are available on Second Life for few days per week.

implementing various types of projects financed by different funds and programmes (PHARE,
ODL, ESF, EEA, LLP) for example:
1995-2000
“Distance education” (establishment of distance teaching centers in
Lithuania) financed by PHARE programme.
1999-2000
“ODL in teacher training” (distance teaching of adults) financed by
NORDEN programme.
2005

The main results of that activity were publications of all kinds of methodological, training and
learning material, as in other countries too. But here are no enough development in the field of
adult educators’ general abilities to learn how to work with new material, new methods, IT
courses and ect.
So the main project idea is: to teach (in the form of courses (possible innovation transfer)) adult
educators’ general abilities to work with innovative methods, tools, development of these
material curriculums.
Project implementation could follow two main directions:
 Innovative learning/teaching methods and their curriculum development in the
learning/teaching modules which are created here in Lithuania. To transfer innovative
methodology.
 Human recourses (educators) development in the field of general abilities:
Communication in foreign language, general abilities working with IT, learn how to learn,
social abilities, creativity.
In that way there we could expect such results as:
 Development of innovative learning/teaching methods
 Development of adult education service
 Increasing adult motivation to learn (with new modules)
 Development of adult educators general abilities working with adults

Profile/sector of the organization
Vocational School Amar Terra Verde – EPATV – was founded in 1993, under the law by decree
number 70/93. The school is the result of a project involving the Town Halls of Vila Verde,
Amares and Terras de Bouro in order to enhance the youth’s qualifications and better the living
conditions of the population of Vale do Cávado. It is a private institution with a public utility
statute and it is liable to the scientific, pedagogical and functional tutelage of the Board of
Education. This inter-municipal project rose as an alternative for regular school where the lack of
school success and abandonment was notorious, in a region where the schooling and
qualification rates were clearly low which resulted in low salaries and poor personal and social
developing prospects.
The people responsible from the three counties, were conscious of the surrounding global market
so they put aside the colour of their political party which differs between them, and bet in this
inter-municipal strategy that gains recognition from the education and training as the foundation
for the development of the region, privileging one of its main resources – the PEOPLE.
Between the years 2007/08 and the school year 2008/2009 the number of students attending
EPATV increased about 20% and it went from 38 classes to 44, which demanded certain changes
in the school facilities to meet the increasing needs of the vocational school, since it is
considered one of the main factors to assure the European Union’s social and economic cohesion
and guarantee that the students within the school region won’t fear geographic mobility, may
perform with rigour and quality and invest in their own region.
The school persecutes the following objectives:
 Settling of youth population in school area;
 Training of intermediate staff necessary to local development;
 Decrease of school abandonment and school failure;
 Valorisation of the endogenous potential;
 Revival of social texture in light of equal opportunities;
 Optimization of the endogenous resources

http://www.udanet.eu
Desired partner profile / sector
We are interested to meet partners working in Universities field.
Ideas for a potential project
A new frontier of e-learning has been launched in Europe in the last years, which puts at the
centre of discussions the role of the learner and his interaction with the actors who are involved
in the educational process and it returns to the network its intrinsic nature , or to be "the most
natural development of collective intelligence."
The purpose of V.L.E. project - Inclusion is, in the first place, to reduce the gap between
European and Italian educational experiences, because the latter are less mature in relation of elearning cooperatives application. This project has another important aspect, or the target to
which it is put, the disabled user, depending on which is built the training environment.
The project which is based on the model of expertise made available by a European partner
(Valencia University) promotes pedagogic educational innovation in the educational and training
sector and particularly through the ICT use. The aim of the project is to build a cooperative
159
learning environment on the network, that can be used from disabled users, in which one or
more figures of reference operate, as e-tutors specialized in disabilities, in a position to
implement scaffolding actions to support the disable educational process.
The partnership structure, composed by Telematics University "L. Da Vinci " and Valencia
University, two companies that operate in the ICT sector (Ud'Anet Italian and Slovak SmartGroup) and two groups that work with disabled people (Don Gnocchi Foundation and IRIFOR
NPO) , includes useful experiences for the target and the project, (the disables), and for the type
of product that it wants to carry out, a virtual learning environment.
The result of this project is to implement European space for the learning network, in the elearning platform, in which it will have an intermediate phase consisting of the experimentation
of a courseware for e-tutor training for the disabled and, in the final phase, the university courses
and / or professional cooperatives e-learning adapted and personalized to the disabled
educational needs.

Ideas for a potential project
Schools Adopt Monument
We wish to apply for a Transfer of Innovation action for the project “Schools Adopt Monuments”,
which began in Naples in December 1992 on the initiative of the Fondazione Napoli Novantanove
in collaboration with the Local Education Office and the Ministery of the culture, and was chosen
as a European pilot project in 1994. After 14 years the project is still alive in many Italian cities
and with very satisfactory results because it has been implemented and updated to needs of
young generations. “School Adopt Monuments” is an in-service training project concerned with
the conservation of the historical and artistic, and more in general, the environmental heritage.
The project is based on a recognition of the centrality of the school in the cultural and
behavioural education of the population and considers the young generation to be the special
starting-point for the development of a new awareness of the cultural heritage. What is meant by
new awareness? It means learning to recognize the cultural heritage as architectural values and at
the same time anthropological artefacts, rooted in the cultural and social makeup of a
165
community, a clear sign of ots identity and, at the same time, a vehicle of feelings of belonging, of
solidarity and a sense of sharing.
Schools Adopt Monuments is basic to this educational perspective, a special means of acquiring a
feeling for one’s cultural roots and positive attitudes to the future, knowledge of the cultural
heritage:
“adopting monument means not simply getting to know it but taking it to heart, so saving it from
oblivion and degradation, looking after it, caring about its conservation, making it known to
others, promoting an appreciation of it”.

easily to the new countries. By now, we do intend to create another project but prefer to make
also new partnerships with different countries and universities. Our students work in Java
Programming, Web development, Databases, Data warehouses and Data mining, Optimization,
Informatics’ Project management, eLearning platforms, Information System, Information System
Auditing among others.
We intend to create partnerships with organizations/companies or universities were our Business

Ideas for a potential project
Within the next 50 years, the percentage of the OECD countries’ senior population will increase
significantly and the portion of the population seeking first-time employment will decline equally
significantly. Consequently, it will be necessary to counteract the negative effects of the ageing
population also through the implementation of employment policies and strategies that will
mobilize the entire workforce reserves, particularly women and senior workers. Thus, the
intention is to jumpstart, in the individuals involved in the project, a changing process in line with
the principles of diversity management, with particular emphasis not only on the age, but also on
the gender. The project proposes to retrain, improve, and transfer to the junior workers the
170
professional competencies developed in formal and informal environment by the senior workers’
development and permanency in the firm as well as the employment transitions, also highlight
the need to make the firms aware of the importance to use quick and effective human resources
and age management tools.

certificates obtained at our school are equivalent to those of Austria.
We are able to issue a ’certificate supplement’, which is incorporated in the EUROPASS

Besides basic professional training, a complex training system enables our students to enter
tertiary and post-graduate professional training. Our school would like to provide the EU
programme of Life-Long Learning for our students with a multi-cycle successive training course
system and professional extension training possibilities. The need for learrning for a lifetime has
grown in Europe, where social and economic changes are becoming much faster.
