RI-GENDER

Le donne che subiscono violenza in ambito domestico si scontrano, infatti, con una serie di barriere strutturali che delineano una specifica vulnerabilità e ostacolano i percorsi di empowerment e autonomia.

Il progetto non si limita a fornire supporto, ma mira a costruire un modello replicabile con approccio intersezionale. Attraverso azioni sinergiche, RI-GENDER potenzia anche le competenze di operatori e stakeholder, creando una rete locale forte, cementata da almeno 10 accordi di collaborazione e dall’immissione di nuove expertise.

Per le donne target si sperimenteranno laboratori di artigianato e sartoria abbinati anche all’arteterapia per l’espressione di sé, workshop di mindfulness, strumenti di empowerment e di crescita personale per l’empowerment socio-economico e socio-lavorativo, e si offrirà supporto linguistico con focus sulla spendibilità lavorativa delle competenze acquisite nei laboratori, un ponte verso l'autonomia lavorativa e di costruzione del proprio progetto di vita. Un'attenzione speciale sarà dedicata alle figlie (pre)adolescenti.

Il progetto non dimentica la valutazione, un momento cruciale per capire l'impatto reale delle azioni e per validare il modello e le competenze delle beneficiarie, riconoscendo il loro valore con attestati di microcredenziali spendibili sul mercato del lavoro. Infine, le Linee Guida RI-GENDER permetteranno scalabilità e replicabilità, col contributo di stakeholder anche di rilevanza nazionale ed europea.

TRAPROTRYDE project

TRAPROTRYDE project aims at collecting and analysing best practices from partner countries to create an innovative training prototype for professionals in EAI (Education, Therapy, Sport, Leisure), based on the TRYDE project's combined evaluation method. This method, developed by a therapist and an equestrian instructor, supports individuals with disabilities in their transition from dependency to autonomy in therapeutic and sports activities.

Objectives

• Refine and update the combined evaluation method for international dissemination.
• Develop a comprehensive course to train professionals in the EAI field.
• Enable professionals to assist individuals with disabilities in gaining autonomy through equestrian activities.

Expected outcomes

HSC Team project

The project, co-funded by the European Union, aims to improve the VET system in the field of High and Special Complexity Teams (HSC Teams) through 1 innovative VET model, with high replicability. It focuses on improving the skills of the professionals involved in the management of HSC Funding and Tenders, guaranteeing them high quality standards, innovation, multidisciplinarity and market reconnaissance.

The concept of High and Special Complexity Teams is declined as those teams that include a (minority or prevalent) part of human resources with complexity of various types: psychiatric disorders, physical or cognitive disabilities at various levels of functioning, mental distress, and other Special Needs and are related to the labour inclusion of frail persons.

As a Primary Outcome, the project aims to define the figure of the managers involved in the management of HSC the characteristics they must have, the added value, the best way to train them and to make them operational successfully in the extremely complex working environment in which they operate. This result can be achieved through 2 Functional Outcomes: the creation of 1 quality VET system aimed at identifying and consolidating transversal competences useful for HSC managers and the creation of 1 Quality Mark that guarantees the competences of the trained managers and gives them an added value that can be used in the labour market.

Who is the project target group?

The primary direct target group are human resources of working age 18-65 who manage or intend to learn to manage High and Special Complexity Teams. The target manager therefore includes resources working in all types of organisations, profit or non-profit, in particular Social Cooperatives and more generally Social Enterprises. Other direct targets are the managers of Social Cooperatives and other Social Enterprises, towards whom a specific communication campaign will be conveyed aimed at raising awareness of the role of this strategic figure, the type of qualifying path that is being developed, and the need for a general sectoral leap for the benefit of the fragile target of persons with Special Needs (SN) of working age.

The main indirect target or target group are members of HSCs, people with disabilities or psychiatric illnesses who benefit from the training received by managers, as well as staff colleagues without SN. The host institutions, where they work, are the second indirect target. They will in fact see the performance of HSCs awarded or involved in various ways in its activities improved. The third group of indirect beneficiaries are the family members of persons with SN, especially family caregivers, who see an important support for the working success of their loved ones. The last indirect target group are public and private therapists who follow persons with SN, who see the success of their own therapies improved and the possibility of reduced prescriptions of certain drugs opened up.

TOURISTABLE project

The specific objective of TOURISTABLE is to create an innovative training model that enables the VET sector to align with the needs of the labour market while being related to the themes of inclusion and innovation in the tourism sector. Formal and informal learning environments play a fundamental role in stimulating participation in social and cultural life, assisting people with disabilities in reaching their potential.

The expected outcome is a replicable VET model focused on inclusive tourism and the inclusion of organisations active in employment pathways. The focal point is to increase the autonomy of people with disabilities and simultaneously involve them in the enhancement of local cultural and tourist resources. The current attention to the need for broad participation leads to a reconsideration of the concept of accessibility, extending it to all dimensions: physical, cognitive, sensorial, cultural, economic, and educational. Hence, the need to extend opportunities for inclusion, not only by removing physical and sensorial barriers but also by considering communicative and cognitive obstacles in accessing knowledge and flipping the paradigm, making people with disabilities agents of territorial enhancement.

Promoting participation in territorial enhancement for people with intellectual disabilities means realising self-determination, emancipation, inclusion, and empowerment.

SPORTISM project

SPORTISM Project will be carried out by 5 consortium partners from: Slovenia (coordinator – Društvo za kulturo inkluzije), Italy (Maendeleo for Children), Croatia (Centre for Autism Rijeka), Serbia (Sport Association ‘Milan Petrović’) and Romania (ACS Kory Francis).

It will promote and strengthen inclusion, social inclusion and equal opportunities for children and adolescents with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), intellectual and multiple disabilities through sport activities. The major focus will be given to spread the exercises for the development of basic motor skills, especially coordination and balance, which are crucial for the development of other skills for our target group. As it is known, motor development has a great influence on the development of other areas, such as social and cognitive development, which means that movement plays a major role in the holistic development of each individual.

From this point of view, it is important to promote the inclusion of our target group through sport, as its positive influences are evident in everyday life. In addition to promoting and strengthening inclusion, social inclusion and improving the motor skills and social skills of target group, a systematic monitoring of the physical condition of the individual will be established, professional trainings for people working in sport, health and education of target group will be provided and the awareness of the importance of movement for this population will be increased.

At the same time, international and local cooperation of experts from 5 participating organizations will be encouraged through inter-partner meetings, with the exchange of good practices and the conference wider society will be addressed, and trainings of volunteers will be performed to improve the work with the target group. Main results of the project will be 3 e-manuals for developing and monitoring motor skills of individuals.

TRYDE project

The partnership of the TRYDE project organizes a Virtual Training Course dedicated to operators (psychologists, EAI experts) who work with people with intellectual disabilities. The training of the TRYDE Project aims to disseminate the methodology of Equine Assisted Interventions (EAI).

The virtual training course will take place online in asynchronous mode (ie the contents will be available on the platform).

The duration of the course is 50 hours and will be divided into 3 thematic sessions:

1. General part

2. Preparatory works of the Gymkhana

3. Evaluation of the results of the Gymkhana

4. General Session: Sport and Intellectual Disabilities

The TRYDE training proposal is the result of an international effort developed within the Erasmus + project thanks to partners such as:

• CRE De Marco ONLUS – Italy
• Hi.K.E.R. International Institute – Greece
• Academia de Formação Equestre e Hipoterapia de Valongo e Campo – AFEHVC – Portugal
• Asociación Española De Equinoterapias - AEDEQ – Spain
• Maendeleo for Children - MfC – Italy

AUSPICI project

The project provides training courses for trainers and coaches to learn new ones methods and strategies to interface with children with autism thanks to the support of the discipline of Globality of Languages ​​(GoL), stimulating non-verbal communication and teaching them approaches and techniques for integrate children with autism in sporting paths. Trainers and coaches will be trained both locally directly on the territory of the outskirts of Naples (in presence) and on the whole national territory thanks to the development of a platform that will deliver training via webinar/e-learning.

INSIDes project

In order to develop socio-professional competences and soft and technical skills of youth workers and trainers capable to foster participation in sport and physical activities for young people with Intellectual Disabilities, the INSIDes project adopts a working methodology based on multiple aspects at all levels. One of these aspects regarding the virtual learning, consists in a multidisciplinary approach (including the innovative Italian discipline of the Globality of Languages (GoL) to address the special needs of young people with intellectual disabilities). The socio-psycho-pedagogical discipline "Globality of Languages" (GoL) ideated by the Italian pedagogist Stefania Guerra Lisi, usually oriented to therapeutic, educational, training and/or animation purposes, will be used for non-formal training courses targeting operators and professionals in the field of Sports, as a tool for enhancing inclusiveness of sport practices towards Youth and different target groups. Starting from the use of all communicative and expressive languages, mainly drawn from Arts (the discipline is open to all communication and expressive possibilities, verbal and/or non-verbal), GoL-based knowledge/hard/soft skills, focusing on the specificities of ASD, will be transferred encouraging personal and collective growth experiences for trainers, teams and athletes also through online sharing of open training contents, OERs.

SPID-AP project

In order to increase and enhance social inclusion and autonomy of 30 Youth with ASD (13-21) and based on the assumption that sport plays a strong societal role as a source of and a driver for active social inclusion, SPID-AP project intended to deliver a transnational model of innovative inclusive practices based on sport activities, EU networking & capacity building in the field of Sport and Disability.

Based on the SPID-AP Training Materials produced, addressing coaches, PE teachers, CSOs staff and volunteers dealing with Youth & ASD, capacity building activities were carried out, mainly inspired by the socio-psycho-pedagogical discipline "Globality of Languages" (GoL) - by Stefania Guerra Lisi - usually oriented to therapeutic, educational, training and/or animation purposes with the use of all communicative and expressive languages, mainly drawn from Arts and used within the train-the-trainer courses engaging 119 learners as a tool for enhancing inclusiveness of sport practices towards Youth and different target groups. The piloting experience was thus completed by sports programs for young with ASD and Round Tables in each country with relevant stakeholders, presenting the SPID-AP model for further exploitation at institutional/non institutional level.
