Considering that the EU has decided to put 2030 Agenda as a theoretical basis for the next funding programme, we consider it essential to make a concrete contribution to the dissemination of these goals in our territories through the formation of specific categories representing the target group of users of the Tandem Plus network in Europe. The potential for dissemination of key concepts via VET to end users is very high. The choice to develop internal methodologies and policies to ensure an incorporation of the objectives more directly connected to social inclusion within the training activities proposed by the VETs, would have an important impact on the awareness of the population. Nonetheless, for the disadvantaged categories with which VETs are used to work (neets, unemployed, low-skilled, people with learning disabilities and migrants/refugees) the difficulty of socio-economic inclusion is mainly due to the training deficiencies generated by various social phenomena. This condition makes these categories often difficult to reach by social awareness campaigns. The project UnitED for Global Goals aims at creating a platform of exchange among the partners who belong to the European Network Tandem Plus to learn and share experiences among operators of VET on the topic of Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, especially focusing on the contributing to share knowledge and practice, learning and inclusion actions that each partner has adopted, or is willing to share to tackle challenges identified in three specific Agenda 2030 goals, addressing the challenges that every European community and country is facing. - ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy (No. 7) - Making cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable (No. 11) - Sustainable consumption and production models (No. 12) The 3-year long project involves partners of the Tandem Plus Network who have been active in transnational projects (Forcoop, Anjaf,CIEP ) and those who have been officially and directly involved in such projects for the first time as partners of the network (CSS, IASIS, ISUM). This is the result of a commitment of the network to capitalize on the knowledge and practice of the single members and the development of innovative actions carried out in the framework of transnational cooperation. UNITED for SDGs focuses on two interconnected objectives: 1) Reinforce the transnational potential of the network and its members to operate at local level with the added value of the transnational cooperation, through a process of benchlearning, that is by sharing and confronting systems and solutions, methods and practices that they utilized or operate with in order to improve and adapt them to new challenges. 2) Support the capacity of involved organizations and their local networks to improve their service provision and outreach especially for their main targets: adults over 45, adults and young people with low educational attainments, migrants and refugees, NEETs and long-term unemployed to mention some groups. The project capitalizes on a number of local, regional and national – including some Development of Innovation ERASMUS + projects carried out – independently or as diversified consortia – by project partners. The project activities consist of alternating in-depth joint training/learning sessions (5 Joint Staff Training sessions of the duration of 4 days each) with Transnational meetings (6 TM each of two days). The method of alternating Training sessions (sharing of knowledge and experience) and TM (evaluating and consolidating results) will allow to closely follow the whole process and build on its results as the project evolves. It also provides for the inclusion of specific topics regarding key skills development that require special attention and that represent new needs for VET and social workers to better respond to emerging needs of the final target groups. The deliverables of the project are: 5 joint training/learning sessions on specific aspects of Agenda 2030 for Social Inclusion development and recognition / validation of the duration of 4 days each, with an average number of 20 participants each. 6 transnational meetings of two days each focusing on the evaluation and consolidation of the knowledge and know-how generated during the training/learning sessions 6 local dissemination events organized for the benefit of stakeholders and in presence of transnational participants to share with external actors the main content/knowledge An e-publication of a general compendium consolidating the project’s results and shared experience (English French) Communication or the project’s activities and results on Tandem Plus website and ERASMUS + results (EPALE if relevant) as OER material.
Le projet visait à promouvoir l'inclusion sociale et les ODD en adaptant les programmes de formation aux besoins des groupes vulnérables. Parmi ses réalisations : -La diffusion des objectifs de l'Agenda 2030 en les intégrant dans les activités de formation dispensées par les établissements d'EFP. Cela a permis de sensibiliser les groupes cibles à ces objectifs et de les leur faire comprendre; -L'intégration des objectifs de développement durable (ODD) dans la formation à l'EFP; -Renforcement des capacités des établissements d'enseignement et de formation professionnels pour concevoir et mettre en œuvre des programmes éducatifs sur mesure; -Échange de bonnes pratiques pour faciliter l'apprentissage et l'adaptation d'approches efficaces dans différentes régions; -Réunions de formation et de débat pour développer et consolider les méthodes et les approches visant à fournir une formation professionnelle et une orientation aux groupes vulnérables. Ces activités ont favorisé la collaboration et le partage des connaissances entre les parties prenantes; -Équiper les groupes vulnérables avec des connaissance, des compétences et des contacts améliorant leur inclusion socio-économique.
Tandem plus a postulé pour ce projet en raison de l'importance cruciale de l'Agenda 2030 établi par l'UE. Reconnaissant l'importance de traduire ces objectifs en actions tangibles au sein de nos territoires, le réseau a vu un besoin d'y contribuer concrètement. Le but premier était de promouvoir ces objectifs à travers le réseau Tandem Plus en Europe pour les utilisateurs cibles du réseau: groupes défavorisés avec lesquels les EFP sont souvent en contact, notamment les NEET, les chômeurs, les personnes peu qualifiées, les personnes ayant des difficultés d'apprentissage, les migrants. Ces groupes sont confrontés à des difficultés d'inclusion socio-économique principalement dues à des déficiences en matière de formation, qui sont encore aggravées par divers facteurs sociaux. Par conséquent, ces catégories sont souvent inaccessibles par le biais de campagnes de sensibilisation sociale conventionnelles. Ce projet t était a permis aux organismes de formation d'impliquer activement ces groupes dans le développement durable local grâce à des méthodologies innovantes partagées au sein du partenariat et du réseau entier et appliquées dans les contextes et services locaux respectifs.
