Project Summary

DAY PLOT project starts from the Recommendation of the EU Parliament and Council 2006/962/CE which stresses the 8 key competencies for lifelong learning that are skills and competencies of which “each one need to allow personal development, active citizenship, social inclusion and employment”. It aims to elucidate this framework to help disadvantaged young people not working and not studying, also thanks to ICT for learning. DAY PLOT is linked to at least three priorities of the Programme (inclusion, key competencies for VET, digital era).The target of the project is the group of professionals working with these disadvantaged young people such as: the Practitioners of School, University and/or Labour guidance; the Practitioners of Working market Agencies and of the Employment Centres; trainers and teachers of the VET sector. The final beneficiaries are the young people with disadvantage condition; in particularly NEETs and migrants looking for a VET opportunity or for employment. The main stakeholders are all the organisations involved in the inclusion area (VET schools and institutes; Public Administrations dealing directly with the young and with education, labour and reception policies; trade unions; enterprises, etc.)The concrete aim of the project, articulated in 6 innovative IOs, is to build with and to offer to the direct target a set of useful tools to help the young people with disadvantage condition ageing from 18 to 29 years with specific training, education, in order to facilitate their entrance in the more appropriate VET channel to strengthen their competencies and/or in the labour market.Throughout the project’s life the target group will test innovative e.learning modules (ECVET version) on a MOOC platform used for the competence assessment and development, in order to enhance the training/employment chances for the disadvantaged young.At the beginning of the project a Report on the needs and best practices on the topic of the key competences development at EU level will be performed in order to support the following assessment and training activity.An original diagnosis tool kit based on innovative frameworks, including gamification and survey will allow practitioners and teachers to map the key and professional skills of the young Neets/migrants and to assess their level, allowing also the practitioners to support the young people in writing a personal Europass CV.DAY PLOT has also other innovative IOs; a feasibility study for the platform which will be able to automatically match client-enterprise using a specific database with original solutions (high interactivity and competence tag); the Guide Line report which will help for a correct performance of all the new tools and a Report aimed to insert the DAY PLOT tools in the framework of VET and inclusion policies.The partners are all expert of EU project in this area (except P1) and have been already engaged in one or more project topics. The Management of the activities and the coordination of the partnership will be done by Antares; all the partners will contribute to the management of DAY PLOT. In particular Eulab Consulting will coordinate the Quality system; GEMS will coordinate the dissemination activities; HIOA-AFI will suggest the Sustainability Guide Lines for the project; Hafelekar will coordinate the partnership internal and external communication and CRIA will coordinate the internal evaluation of all the produced IOs. A specific care will be devoted to support the communication and the experience exchange among the partners (5 partnership meetings will be held), in this way a team focused on the DAY PLOT success will be realised.An important part of the process will be the dissemination and sustainability of the results; the involvement of 1500 interested people, coming from the 3 groups above, is foreseen. Several communication tools will be used in order to amplify the impact not only inside the partners and their territory, but also at national and European level. The goal will be to get new products (translated in 5 languages) interesting for a large number of the target group members; they will be innovative, free of charge, with an EU dimension and ready to be implemented.
