A 3 year Erasmus Strategic Partnership – 2014 / 2017
The main objective of this project is to empower trainers as CHANGE AGENTS within their own local context to deal with discrimination, to share and develop an educational, conceptional and methodological basis on which to develop an effective EMPOWERMENT FOR SOCIAL CHANGE training approach which can then be used as the basis for developing practical tools such as manuals, articles, videos, booklets and other training aides which are to be communicated in a variety of different ways to maximize the impact and sustainability of this initiative

The project will develop and disseminate material that can be used in the facilitation of anti-discrimination work, including a blog, a manual and articles. During the exchange meetings experiences with proven empowering anti-discrimination strategies and approaches will be shared and on basis of this exchange concrete products will be developed. The dissemination of findings will happen in the last year of the project. Expert meetings, conferences, workshops, publications and training will be organized

A 3 year Erasmus Strategic Partnership – 2012 / 2015

Objetivos y logro del proyecto:
El hacer visible dentro del mundo académico la naturaleza y práctica de la Economía Social y Solidaria, como sistema. Nos interesaba dar a conocer sus valores, actores, beneficiarios, modus operandi, competencias laborales y cómo estos aspectos se experimentaban en tres zonas geográficas: África, Europa, Centro y Sur América. Todo esto con la finalidad de promover su estudio y práctica dentro de la enseñanza superior, a través de la transformación curricular.

¿Cómo se logró?

Con la co-edición de un manual con 8 capítulos secuenciales sobre la materia (descritos más adelante), en tres idiomas: inglés, español y portugués para las personas interesadas en el diseño curricular. El contenido de cada capítulo está basado en un estudio empírico y enfoque dialógico que se generó de forma colaborativa con los académicos y emprendedores sociales. Igualmente, se aplicaron encuestas virtuales y físicas; se realizaron grupos focales dialógicos, entrevistas en profundidad y se redactaron estudios de casos con los propios actores, universidades socias y colaboradores del proyecto en las regiones geográficas antes mencionadas.

An 8 month Erasmus+ project for Youth and Politicians/policy makers
Seminar workshop organized and delivered in the Canaries Island, in April 2018

Unethical practices and corruption have eroded youth aspiration and motivation to participate in democratic life.
There is a high demand from young people for model of references, who could they aspire to be and to become. The political identity of young adults has been highly undermined by the countless cases of unethical practices and corruption in the last 20 years. Politicians and policymakers need to learn how to re-engage through genuine and open dialogue with young citizens to talk openly about the major cancer that society can experience. Trust-building activities among policy maker and young people are in big demand.
There is a cry for good practices on anti-corruption know-how for special areas such as governance, education, health and working environments, according to a survey on an U4 Anti Corruption Online training Course, created to support the implementation of the UN Convention against Corruption.
This will be achieved by:
Gaining new perspectives and understanding of ethical practices within the two partners countries: Spain and The Netherlands.
Learning new skills and tools, including participatory methods and tools for enhancing active democratic life.
Connecting with, and forming new relationship among youth changemakers and diaspora leaders from The Netherlands and Spain.
Establishing a collective responsibility towards combating unethical practices and corruption against democratic life.
Identifying future actions and have policymakers and politicians regaining trust from young people.

Young diaspora members (refugees/migrants) will identify what kind of behavior is acceptable within a
working organizational culture and intercultural working ethos, e.g. time management, risk management within work,
resources management, etc.
