Promoting Mental Health and Wellbeing among Young People through Yoga (HIPPOCAMPUS)

One of the key challenges in effective work with young people is their frequent lack of engagement, a characteristic that many of those who spend time with adolescents (youth workers, parents, teachers) can attest to. Proposed solutions frequently fail to address core issues relating to the intrinsic motivation of the individual, which is directly related to well-being. Many young people suffer from chronic stress and other issues that inhibit the functioning (and indeed the development) of the prefrontal cortex, and this also affects their intrinsic motivation to engage in any activity. In short, unless their well-being is addressed, they cannot engage effectively.

Ante el envejecimiento que sufre Europa, del que las zonas rurales de Castilla y León es un gran exponente con una media superior a la del resto de España con personas de 65 o más años, se presenta una situación en la que las personas mayores dependientes viven en sus casas y son atendidos no solo por su cónyuge u otro miembro de la familia sino también por vecinos o amigos quienes ejercen el papel de cuidador informal, no siendo remunerados por ello.

WYRED: netWorked Youth Research for Empowerment in the Digital society

The emergence of the young as a distinct social group, and their slowly increasing empowerment through the availability of digital technology, has brought with it an understanding that they have a key role to play in the digital society, as drivers of new behaviours and understandings. However, their active participation in society is not reflected sufficiently in policy and decision-making, especially in relation to digital issues.

Intercultural Mentoring tools to support migrant integration at school (INTO)

Within the scope of European policies and to combat educational disadvantages for migrant children, numerous actions have been taken to improve the position of migrant children in education. In secondary education the emphasis lies on diversification of the offered teaching methods and extra guidance of the pupils. Some schools in Europe have set up measures to increase the continuity of the educational support in terms of migrant pupil inclusion and orientation.

Virtual Alliances for Learning Society (VALS)

VALS will establish sustainable methods and processes to build knowledge partnerships between Higher Education (HE) and companies to collaborate on resolving authentic business problems through open innovation mediated by the use of Open Source Software (OSS). OSS provides the means whereby HE institutions, students, businesses and foundations can all collaborate to resolve authentic business problems. Not only does OSS provide the necessary shared infrastructure and collaborative practice, the foundations which manage the software are also hubs which channel the operational challenges of their users through to the people who can solve them.

European history crossroads as pathways to intercultural and media education (EHISTO)

The project reacts to the growing importance of mass-medial commercial ways of dealing with history in public space that in many respects does not comply with the EU standards for history teaching. However, mass media verifiably influence the historical perception of pupils, and therefore they constitute an important factor in history teaching. Thus arises an irrefutable demand in history and civic education for a combination of intercultural and media-critical competences in studying history multi-perspectively. Following in the footsteps of successful EU projects dealing with “European History Crossroads” (shared historical topics in Europe that point out the diversity of national historical viewpoints) EHISTO,

Tagging, Recognition and Acknowledgment of Informal Learning ExpeRiences (TRAILER)

The evolution of new technology and its increasing use, has for some years been making the existence of informal learning more and more transparent, especially among young and older adults in both Higher Education and workplace contexts. However, the nature of formal and non-formal, course-based, approaches to learning has made it hard to accommodate these informal processes satisfactorily, and although technology bring us near to the solution, it has not yet achieved.

Teaching and E-­Learning Advances in European Mobility Space (TALARIA)

The high competition on the European labor market forces the need of increasing the quality of education. The higher quality of education at European level requires intense activities aimed at exchange of experience and skills in the process of building the Europe of Knowledge. The current higher education development strategy in Poland anticipates imminent introduction of obligatory mobility for academic staff. However, Polish academic teachers prove low mobility, which, in turn, leads to limiting relations with global and European academic community.
