Project NAVI-MIGs

KA220-ADU

SUPPORT FOR MIGRANTS IN USING ESSENTIAL SOCIAL SERVICES AND THEIR INTEGRATION INTO THE LABOUR MARKET

NAVI-MIG is born as a programme for the integration of recently arrived immigrants, a successful integration is essential for our common good, our society and our economy. Immigrants can serve as a reactivation for the rural sector or to face the current demographic challenge. They are at high risk of social exclusion, especially in terms of social services, education, access to health care or access to decent housing or employment. Once integrated, they can help improve the functioning of the labour market as well as fiscal stability.

Successful inclusion begins with enabling newly arrived migrants to access essential services and helping them to settle and orient themselves. To do this they need access to the necessary information, which must be inclusive and as accessible as possible, so accessible that they can access it on their mobile phones.

The specific objectives of the NAVI-MIGs project are:

Ensuring movement within the new country autonomously through the application of NAVI-MIGs.
Providing maps to people who have recently arrived (2-3 years) in order to be able to orientate themselves and move around easily through the application of NAVI-MIGs.
Ensure access to basic public services such as integration programmes, language learning, educational programmes, etc.
Reducing existing barriers through the services provided by the NAVI-MIGs application.
Support and facilitate access to programmes at both local and European level through the implementation of NAVI-MIGs.

The international partnership of the project is composed of: Spain, Austria, Finland, Portugal, Greece, Cyprus, Estonia, Belgium.

EMPOWERED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: ECOLOGICAL LIVING, CULTURAL HERITAGE AND ECONOMY

GREAT is a European project based on the family relationship with grandparents. Grandparents play a fundamental role in family relationships, they are often the ones in charge of looking after their grandchildren when parents cannot take care of them, this is a beneficial relationship for both parties, as grandparents enjoy company, which helps to avoid loneliness, lack of attention or affection.

The pandemic has caused a social distancing that has led to the break-up of this type of relationship. To avoid this, the use of technology has been used, which has made it possible to avoid this distancing.

This project seeks to facilitate the process of ageing in adulthood and help in the development of educational skills in adults as well as encouraging them to develop ways to stimulate their creativity, their lateral thinking and support them in their relationship with their grandchildren. The ultimate goal is to maintain creativity even in times of social distancing or health crisis.

Activities such as reading, writing, painting, watching films among other things can be used to support relationships even remotely, all with the aim of supporting their relationship even remotely, ensuring that they participate in their grandchildren’s education and maintain active ageing

The specific objectives of the GREAT project are:

Educate grandparents to be able to take an active part in their education.
To be able to be part of the family role in small communities, even if there is no family relationship.
To certify the capacity of grandparents to support single parents, families with low economic resources…
Strengthen the educational skills of adults over 65 or grandparents of any age.
Stimulate adult-child relationships.
Promote active ageing.

The international partnership of the project is composed of: Italy, Spain, Greece, Romania.

LINKS Project

LINKS: Development of the Digital Sovereignty Competences of Youth Workers

LINKS is a project that focuses on digital sovereignty for youth workers. Digital sovereignty is a concept that seeks to provide individuals with the ability to own their personal data and control its use. The aim of the project is to enable organisations working with young people and managing personal or sensitive data to:

Improve and strengthen their knowledge of data protection and help them to monitor and evaluate the use of the data they manage.
Support the goal of digital sovereignty in the EU and to offer NGOs and other groups managing personal/sensitive data a way to limit the risks of abuse or cyber-attacks by protecting their data.

The birth of this project stems from several major concerns:

• The majority of data managed by youth workers is of a personal and/or sensitive nature, as they often work with sensitive groups such as migrants, people with disabilities, minors etc. and thus possess personal and sensitive data (e.g. medical data).

• There is a risk of discrimination due to the processing of such data, which can lead to the undermining of the foundations of democracy (Advisory Group on Ethics, 2018).

• The increase of cyber threats is a major concern for institutions, organisations, NGOs etc. that manage sensitive data.

Based on these observations, it follows that it is essential to protect organisations that have to store and manage personal and/or sensitive data. Furthermore, although the EU GDPR has been implemented in the majority of organisations, it appears that many organisations are still having difficulties to protect their data and are not well aware about digital data protection.

Therefore, the LINKS project will directly and actively support youth workers in developing and improving their digital safety skills and competences through the following actions

The development of an online platform that will include innovative training on digital sovereignty and data protection. The aim is also to increase awareness about the importance of data protection.
The development of a digital game that will enable youth workers (and other organisations) to learn how to protect their own (workers’) data and that of the young people they work with.
