ACTION – Seniors Active in the Community

ERASMUS+

KA210-ADU – Small-scale partnerships in adult education

Project no: 2024-2-RO01-KA210-ADU-000278611

Implementation period: 01.03.2025 – 28.02.2027

Partners:

Asociația Divina Providența (Romania) – coordinator

Centrul de Resurse și Consultanță în Educație (Romania)

Acties Duurzame Relaties Vlaanderen vzw (ADR-Vlanderen) (Belgium)

The project aims to develop and strengthen a sustainable network of senior citizens clubs in rural Romania through the exchange of expertise and best practices between Romanian and Belgian partners, contributing to improving the quality of life of seniors and promoting social inclusion.

The target groups of the project are mainly elderly people with reduced opportunities (specifically from Gropnița, Iași County/coordinator, Moldovița, Suceava County and Slatina-Timiș, Caras-Severin County – associated partners), divided into two categories:

Elderly people over 65: This category represents the majority segment of beneficiaries, composed of retired people who have become professionally inactive. Our project aims to support the physical, mental and social well-being of people over 65 through community involvement and education, support and health initiatives in senior clubs.
2. People aged 55-65: Although not yet of retirement age, they are in transition to work inactivity and vulnerable to social and economic exclusion.

People with reduced opportunities in both categories are affected by low incomes, limited access to essential services, and geographical and social isolation, which make them vulnerable to social exclusion and a marked deterioration in quality of life. Our project addresses these challenges by developing senior clubs with age-specific activities.

FAIR NEWS

Erasmus+, K220-SCH-Cooperation partnerships in school education

Implementation period: 01.11.2021-01.11.2023

Partners:

SPAZIO REALE FORMAZIONE Impresa Sociale SRL – ETS (Italy) – coordinator

SC Centrul de Resurse si Consultanta in Educatie SRL (Romania)

SDRUDZENIE ZNAM I MOGA (Bulgaria)

Traces&Dreams (Sweden)

VIENNA ASSOCIATION OF EDUCATION VOLUNTEERS (Austria)

TOSCANA OGGI SOCIETÀ COOPERATIVA (Italy)

The project aims to help students to become more conscious readers, co-creators and co-distributors of knowledge. The project is addressed to high school students in four European countries (Italy, Romania, Bulgaria, Austria).

In the current landscape, in which young people are exposed to multiplying media perspectives, the question of how knowledge is created, disseminated, and consumed is ever-more important. Young people need the ability to recognize bias and identify fair and trustworthy sources of news and information. Further, as the digital world becomes increasingly atomised, and much of social and civic life takes place online, many young people risk disconnection and isolation from the local, national, and international communities. The questions of what makes news fair, and how the voices of young people across Europe can be heard in the media landscape, is now of pressing importance. This means that there is a need to create broader connections between young people, to enhance their understanding of their reality, and to offer them spaces where they can not only reflect on their situation but can experiment with and experience a knowledge community.

Objectives:

This project aims to help high school students to learn to navigate ambiguity and manage complexity. It will introduce them to the theory and practice of Fair News by:

Developing a deeper understanding of how knowledge is created, co-created, distributed and amplified in an increasingly complex digital landscape;
Improving awareness of the power of words and images from a holistic, multidisciplinary, and long-term perspective;
Offering a space in which students can learn and teach, enabling them to become media literate by listening as well as speaking to them, to prioritise the needs and voices of students;
Empowering students as digital citizens and participants in democratic life through new ways to consume, create, present and distribute their own news content.

In accordance with the Erasmus+ General Objective of building a European Education Area and supporting the implementation of the European strategic cooperation in the field of education, the project will prioritise connection and collaboration between young people and educational organisations across Europe, creating an international and transnational educational community.

The focus of the project is not only on the ability to identify fake news, but on understanding and enabling a fair, co-created, and shared media landscape.
