Abstract - WISE-UP (Wellness Integration and Smart Education for Understanding and Prevention)

The WISE-UP project addresses the contemporary challenges faced by young Europeans in the digital age, with a unique emphasis on the preventive health benefits of mindfulness. The initiative aims to equip students and teachers with tools to manage digital stress, integrating mindfulness into educational curricula. The ultimate goal is to foster a culture of emotional balance to effectively promote digital well-being in educational institutions. Students will be encouraged to become active participants in building their digital well-being, understanding the causes of digital stress, and developing mindful solutions through a non-violent approach. Through interactive workshops, the project will create a participatory environment where students can improve their digital habits using mindfulness techniques. The project will engage students in self-reflection on digital usage and its impact on well-being through a specialized questionnaire, emphasizing mindfulness as a key tool. At the same time, a dedicated methodology will be developed to help teachers introduce mindfulness in the classroom, fostering the integration of social and emotional skills within school curricula. A user-friendly app with educational materials on mindfulness will be created and made available in eight languages to support teachers across Europe. The project also highlights the role of mindfulness in preventing future health issues, supporting young people in developing non-confrontational, respectful communication. To ensure a lasting impact, the methodology, materials, and key outcomes will be widely disseminated and integrated into educational institutions. This will help influence school policies through awareness campaigns and targeted efforts to promote the adoption of mindfulness-based practices in education. Ultimately, the project aspires to shape a generation that is both digitally aware and competent, capable of thriving responsibly in an ever-evolving digital environment.

Abstract - PAtients and DOctors Alliance - PADOA

The core objective of the present project is that of improving health literacy across Europe, ensuring that citizens, patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals have access to accurate, timely, and easy-tounderstand information on cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment and life after cancer. The project will improve access to the information packages to disadvantaged groups such as people with low literacy skills, low income, people from different nationalities like migrants, refugees and Roma, including the inhabitants of rural and internal EU areas. The project has a focus on cancer patients by using a participatory approach by involving and engaging them together with the medical staff to offer orientation and information and involve them as facilitators for the dissemination to the larger public. This bottom-up approach will be used to fill the communication gaps between doctors and patients, who will thus educate each other. It will have the double aim of improving the circulation of information regarding prevention and correct lifestyles to the average citizen who never dealt with cancer before, and as a second goal, it will help former cancer patients to support their return to life after the illness, offering orientation on available services and promoting forms of peer to peer communication and engagement with other individuals in the same situation. The patients involved in the 3 countries as facilitators, will help to design and participate in the information activities and in the management of the social and internet pages supported by the medical équipe and coordinated by a shared management including both doctors and patients. Added value to the project is the link established between health and social and employment services in order to promote an integrated intervention for cancer patients, often affected by a number of issues like underemployment or unemployment which add on to the ongoing, already challenging illness.

Abstract - OPEN SCHOOLS

According to the European Demographic Bulletin prepared by Eurostat, during the period from 2010 to 2019, immigration of both foreign citizens (inside and outside the EU) and national citizens returning to their country of origin has increased in all States members, except in Italy. The arrival of foreigners has led to a significant increase in ethnic and cultural diversity in the EU, which today has a mosaic of people of different origins, which represents an unprecedented social change. Regarding the European Law, the Treaty of the European Union and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union in articles 21, 22 and 35, which are directly related to migration and health, highlight the fundamental rights by those of us who fight by achieving the objectives of the project: non-discrimination, cultural diversity and equal access to health resources. In addition, the Treaty of the European Union, in the general provisions, states "The Union will combat social exclusion and discrimination and promote justice and social protection...”. According to this background, the general objective of OPEN SCHOOLS project is to design and develop specific training/education programme for immigrant parents and children, focusing on the acquisition of key competences and soft skills for social inclusion and well-being through the methodology of Collaborative Comics Storytelling. Specifically, the programme will be aimed at the acquisition of soft skills and language competences but also cultural/ICT/social and civic competences through the exploitation of the emotional dimension of training. These competences will also provide migrants parents and children opportunities for public voice (providing information on access to social services, on access to communication and rights and responsibilities), which are fundamental for a real social inclusion in the host community.

Abstract - TRUsting Europe

The objective of the TRUE project is that of raise awareness and foster and promote informed knowledge on the actions and policies designed and implemented thanks to the mechanism of the Cohesion Policy. The scope is that of diffuse correct and widespread information highlighting the impact that these concrete measures have effectively had on citizens, institutions and the territories; increasing the visibility and positive impact that Cohesion Policies and Tools have on the every day’s life of European Citizens with particular attention to concrete support such as those offered in the field of sustainable economic growth and boosting occupation. EU institutions and policies have been for long perceived as distant and generally viewed as an obscure, hyper specialistic far away theme regarding political and economic agreements decided in Brussels, and of direct interest only to the expert’s view. This underlying attitude of disinterest and ignorance has accompanied for many years everything that had the label “EU”. Reasons for this are various, and they go from National political disinterest, which failed to sparkle the interest of citizens on the theme, to the recent phenomenon of social media misrepresentations and fake news diffusion, to the objective difficulty for MA, which are administrative bodies, to undertake a professional communication campaign targeted at the various population strata and able to both communicate and engage. The capacity to promote civic engagement and active involvement has represented another weak point in the relationship between this abstract body called “EU” and the living, flesh and bone citizens, It is known that EU fundings are much needed tools, used for investments and programs, that the resources available are consistent, and that they finance a wide range of interventions, structural, infrastructural, social and economic. However, at the same time, persists the lack of a clear understanding of how, through which mechanism, and with what political/decisional weight, can citizens engage and actively and effectively participate to the decision making process.
