"<< Objectives >>""Sustaining Memories"" will federate the population of the territories of the three partner structures around the creation of living libraries on the theme of food from yesterday to today. Deeply inclusive, this project is aimed at all publics, and encourages social, cultural and intergenerational diversity. In the three locations, the goal is to create a local community united in its diversity, aware of its richness and willing to participate in common actions.<< Implementation >>Three key activities will allow the project to run smoothly stepwise: firstly, carrying out a field analysis in each of the three territories (nature and evolution of the territory, typology of the inhabitants, consumption habits) and producing a shared diagnosis; secondly, organising a training workshop in Athens on living libraries and drafting a common methodological framework; and thirdly, setting up a living library in the three territories.<< Results >>The creation of a common memory around the chosen theme and the event will anchor the common heritage and local practices, cement the links forged within the local community and establish a deeply inclusive dynamic of common action. This fertile ground and the tools created within the framework of the project will allow for the implementation of actions that are more relevant to the diagnosed needs, and their dissemination, through their scope and exemplary nature, beyond the territories."

"Many experiments are conducted on giving vulnerable people access to food. But do these experiments allow true evolutions and social changes? Two levels of questions need to be explored: can these experiments improve the quality of people's food? Do they allow them to increase their skill seton this matter, and therefore to gain autonomy and sovereignty? Do they make them actors of a sustainable transition ?This research-action project aims to test a methodology based on community activity in order to recognize and develop the skills of people in vulnerable situations. This project is based on local experiments around food aid, to assess how these experiences contribute to increasing the skills of people in precarious situations. The aim is for these skills to empower and emancipate them in regards to food issues and other areas of their lives, and among other things for women to confirm their position in social and political spheres.The finalization of this project will be the production of a ""Popular Advocacy"" to take precariousness into account in food projects aiming to improve the quality of food.This project is open to: volunteers and professionals from food aid associations and beneficiaries of these associations. We are targeting 80 participants."

"<< Background >>The initial idea of the project is based on the observation that the practices described as ""Outreach"", although present in social work training, remain both difficult to put into practice by social workers and volunteers working with socially excluded people and young people and are not very present in the logic of support systems. It is the articulation of the three dimensions: policy planning, institutional organisation and professional/field intervention, which makes effective implementation difficult. This difficulty is visible in the regular questioning of specialised prevention associations which are entrusted with missions that question the basis of their intervention. It appears to us that there are a number of needs that are not covered today in most countries, particularly in terms of bridging the gaps mentioned above. The project will enable us, in the light of the experiences and practices in each country, to identify and evaluate the gaps in existing training, the concrete gaps between training and practice, the gaps between the needs of the populations and the ways in which they are expressed (needs), and how they are taken into account. We note that there is a gap between the strategic, organisational and professional levels of planning and execution of the intervention. The challenge is therefore to bridge the gap between training and practice, and to improve existing training content, and to question the gap between practice and social policy.<< Objectives >>Our general objectives are therefore to : Reduce the gap between training and practice through the education of adults (whether volunteers, returnees, continuing education, etc), Reduce the gap between social policies and professional practices, To concretise adult learning and intervention strategies that strengthen greater coordination between institutions, national, regional and local authorities, social partners and civil society, To fight against isolation, withdrawal and the renunciation of rights by those most in difficulty. Operational objectives : Identify existing studies and practices Design a training module and integrate it into existing training courses, Train trainers to implement this module, Train adults who will implement the experimentation (educators, volunteers, social workers, etc.) To create and experiment with a support methodology Experiment with low threshold services Construction of an educational kit and a common reference framework.<< Implementation >>Our project will be based on 4 main activities: - The capitalisation of training contents and outreach practices in the partner countries - The design and implementation of a training module on outreach in social work training - The design and testing of a methodology for outreach by professionals and volunteers - The design of an educational kit containing these elements. To accompany these activities, 2 learning mobilities are planned: one to train the trainers who will intervene in the training modules on outreach, the other to train in the practical methodology of outreach in the field.<< Results >>The results will allow us to verify that we are achieving the objectives set by the project. They will therefore be of several kinds and will cover several levels. Results during the project Accompaniment of individuals and groups Innovations in responses to people's needs Exchange of practices between partners and participants Training of adults Creation of a theoretical corpus and good practices of outreach (IO 1)Creation of a training module on outreach (IO 2)Creation of a methodology for outreach, (IO 3)After project : Better consideration of people's ways of functioning and needs, Better adaptation of responses to the needs of the populations concerned, Integration of training modules in the partner organisations and in other organisations in the country Pedagogical toolkit (IO 4)"

This project is part of a European strategic partnership around innovation. The aim is to encourage the emancipation of disadvantaged people, so that they can achieve selected paths and thus facilitate their access to sustainable employment and social development. Our target area of ​​activity for this project will be restoration.It is based on a diagnosis shared by institutional partners, employers' representatives and European partners, of which there are seven in Belgium, Italy, Spain, Turkey and France.Our approach is systemic and focused on building audience skills.The project is structured around different complementary axes:- The creation, testing, analysis and evaluation of a modelable path that will be led by the research and research laboratory on social innovation and worked by all partners of this project as well as by beneficiaries who will be fully involved in the project and its evolution. Its aim is to create a pathway promoting the emancipation of excluded publics, a social and professional inclusion that is rewarding. We will rely on an innovative methodology that combines, remobilization, diploma training, cross-functional and behavioral skills, individualized support.We will rely on a multi-stakeholder network in each partner country, associating around the creation of a pathway: beneficiaries, integration structures, political partners, employment institutions and employers in the private sector.- The realization of intellectual tools allowing a good implementation of the modeled path based on the contributions of the various European partners and their network. The target audience will be people in exclusion, especially isolated women and young people most affected by unemployment in our partner countries. We will accompany 15 volunteers to complete this course, over a period of one year, in four of the partner countries. That is 60 people in total.The expected results are translated into 3 main areas:1. For the beneficiaries-Change posture and become a transmitter to peers-Raising the rise of skills through formal and informal learning-Rebuild confidence in oneself and in one's abilities in one's potentials through remobilization.-Access sustainable and desired employment or business creation-Release the lifting of the brakes to emancipation and self-esteem-To become a full-fledged European citizen2. For the European structures of the application, working in the field of support, advice, guidance and training of vulnerable jobseekers:-To enable an evolution and an innovation in the practices of socio professional accompaniment taking into account the changes of the national and European contexts. Create and implement a new model that can be modeled daily to better meet the needs of accompanied audiences.-Participate in the reduction of inequalities, inequality of opportunity but also inequality of territory by the creation of innovative solutions.3. For other partners-We envisage that thanks to the partnership set up with employment institutions in our different countries, the modeled path created can be disseminated and used by other integration structures.-Our wish is that the socio-professional accompaniers who will use it have a new reflection on their posture and allow themselves to have ambitious goals for some of the people they accompany.This project is innovative in that it offers a new and stimulating approach for participants. The goal of this project for vulnerable people is that they can be proud of themselves and their journey, to a fulfilling social and professional life. Finally, it is they who will ensure part of the sustainability of this project by becoming ambassadors at national and European level.

As education professionals supporting vulnerable youths, we observe many emerging behaviours among these youths (for instance, the use of social networks, multi-substance use, etc.) as well as new issues (religious radicalization, the absence of demands, school dropouts) that challenge the educational practices we have been able to build so far.At the same time, various studies and surveys on the importance given to youths and their opinions in the development of public policies and educative practices directed towards them show that it is difficult for the institutions and various actors working with these youths to take their points of view in account, particularly with those who struggle the most. Beyond the intentions or in some cases the injunctions to have youths participate and empower them, it seems that actors working with them will need to be accompanied in a cultural change and a shift in their positions and decision-making.Finally, it appears that actors working with youths suffer from a lack the method and tools necessary to enable youths to observe, analyze and evaluate the educative structures developed on their behalf. Collective studies and project building are often too focused on individual processes and encountered obstacles, they are often implemented without referencing the specific issues of a given territory and rarely take into account the opinions of youths, their resources and their skills.We consider that the tools and processes of ACTION-RESEARCH make it possible to offer actors a participatory and reflective framework allowing them to improve and adjust public policies and practices. They are however not always adapted to the specific audience of youths, especially those who are limited in their ability to express themselves. These methods are not accessible to youth policy actors, as they are too complex to appropriate, too complex to implement, and ultimately, only very rarely evaluated and capitalized.It therefore seems essential to us to make an effort in the sense of a pedagogical translation and the development of adapted tools. We aim to attain our main objective which is to REINFORCE THE EMANCIPATION OF YOUTHS AND ACTORS WORKING WITH YOUTHS BY GIVING THEM ACCESS TO CERTAIN SKILLS allowing them to take action in order to conceive new educative practices.In order to achieve this, we offer to model certain methods and tools from the action-research process, in order to make it more comprehensible to youths, including those who struggle the most and whom it is difficult to mobilize and easier to be appropriated by actors working with youths in order for them to develop action-researches in their field of work independantly.Our project is supported by a special education institution (SEAS) and two Belgian and French research institutes (the OEJAJ in Brussels and the LERIS in Montpellier) specialized in the deployment and management of action-research. We aim to develop intellectual productions in order to make action-research tools and methods more comprehensible and easier to mobilize. Our intention is therefore to bring together scientists, actors working with youths, youths and public decision makers by offering the following contributions:-to CAPITALIZE (O1) European action-research development tools, to model them and offer an alternative form that would be more synthetic,comprehensible, visual and adaptable to struggling youths.-to build a PEDAGOGICAL TOOLBOX (O2) to equip actors working with youths and reinforce their skills in helping the development, theconstruction and the management of action-research processes on subjects and issues relative to the youths they work with.-to make this content (O1 and O2) available to actors working with youths, decision-makers and researchers on a DIGITAL PLATFOM to encouragethe spreading of these methods and to highlight, capitalize and develop action-researches built with youths in Europe.This 27 month-long project will allow us to experiment and validate this content through learning mobility and times of mobility (C1 and C2) to encourage its appropriation by its final beneficiaries, which are youths and actors working with youths. It will first be experimented by 30 youths and 15 youth workers who will become its first experts.We will rely on our networks of associated partners to support the project and its various stages through dissemination events (E1 to E5) in order to promote the approach, collect the opinions and suggestions of our local and national partners, and encourage the spread of the change of posture implied by our logic of building with and for youths who struggle the most, as they are the main subjects affected by these answers.
