EU Funding 2007-2016 – Heritage & the Historic Environment in Wales – undertaken by EUCLID – July 2017 2

Executive Summary

Cadw commissioned Euclid to identify EU funding for projects focused on or linked to heritage in Wales, across the last 10 years. EU funding works in 7 year cycles, so “the last 10 years” was interpreted as follows:  The whole 7 years of the 2007-13 period, for which (in theory) full information is available  As much of the 2014-2020 period as could be ascertained at this time – 2014-2016 being 3 years.

EU funding can be split into two main categories:  The European Structural & Investment Funds (ESIF), which are mostly devolved back to the member states and, in the case of the UK, then distributed separately in England, Scotland, Wales and NI. The ESIF also covers the Interreg programme which funds projects on the basis of trans- national partnerships and which distributes funds via a number of geographically focused strands and sub-strands (Wales is eligible to participate in 4 of these sub-strands).  The trans-national funds, which are programmes designed to stimulate collaborative working between partners from several eligible countries, or which support visits and exchanges between countries.

The conclusion is that around 180 projects received a minimum of £74m in EU funding in the period from 2007-2016. Before using this figure in any communications, please note the comments on the following page.

There was a total of over £66m from the European Structural & Investment Funds – the majority (over £40m) from the EAFRD (European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development, including LEADER). There was nearly £25m from the ERDF (European Regional Development Fund) and the ESF (European Social Fund) but nothing from the EMFF/EFF (the fisheries funds).

There was a total of nearly €10m (around £8.2m using the exchange rate at 1 January 2014 of €0.8298/£1) from Interreg and the trans-national funds:  The largest amount – around €7.75m – was from the Interreg programme (part of the ESIF)  There was around €1.15m from the 7th Framework research & development fund – no relevant grants from the current Horizon 2020 programme have been identified  There was nearly €1m via the Erasmus+ programme for education & training, and its predecessor programmes, Lifelong Learning and Youth in Action  There was nothing from the Culture (sub-)programme, now part of Creative Europe or from the Europe for Citizens programme, which focuses on projects related to the history of Europe and the EU, and on democratic engagement and civic participation

Finally, it is noted that the value of all this EU funding covers a breadth of impacts – from funding which has been of specific benefit to the historic environment sector in Wales, to inward investment into Welsh research institutions (especially universities) who have a focus on related areas.

Comments on the Figures

There are a number of points about the figures in this report – all of which would seem to indicate that the figures quoted are likely to be an under-estimate.

Funding for 2014-2020 started late Many of the new programmes for the 2014-2020 period started late, so in some cases, relatively small numbers of grants have been made so far – meaning that the figures for the 3 years 2014-2016, which is 43% of the 7 years of the 2014-2020 funding period, most certainly do not represent 43% of the likely grants for this period. This slow start to awarding grants typically happens at the start of each 7 year funding period.

For example, the amount of ESIF was nearly £25m for the 7 years 2007-2013, an average of nearly £3.6m per year. However, the total of grants in 2014-2016, a period of 3 years, was nil. Had the funding been at the same rate as the previous period, the total for 3 years should be around £10m. One could, therefore, reasonably conclude that “nil” is a significant under-estimate. However, for the purpose of this report, we have assumed a “nil” figure.

For projects, estimates have been used for the grant to the Welsh partner The only figures available for Interreg and most of the trans-national funds are of the grant for the project, and not the amounts received by any individual partner. The exception is Horizon 2020 / ERC / FP7, where the grants to individual partners are available (in almost all cases). The amounts transferred from the lead partner to the co-organiser partners can only be found by analysing the final financial statements of each and every individual project – this information is difficult to access, and was not possible within the resources available for this research.

To address this issue, all the available information for these grants have been assessed and the number of partners for each project identified. The project grant was divided by the number of partners to get an estimate for the grant to that partner. In some cases, the actual figure will be more, in some cases, less. This would appear a more appropriate means of calculating a reasonably accurate estimate. The number of partners (and the number of UK partners) are noted in the relevant tables for these programmes.

Methodology

The research aims to provide figures, with caveats, of the amount of funding the heritage sector has received from the European Union in the last 10 years.

Most of the relevant data has been gathered via online databases operated by the EC or one of its agencies, or by the Welsh government or related agencies in Wales. For most of these databases, all projects with Welsh partners were checked to see whether they were relevant to the sectors of interest. For some more extensive databases, the initial filtering was through keyword searches. For these, a number of key words used which were agreed with the commissioning body. For Cadw, the keywords were: ancient, archaeology/ical, battlefield, castle, conserve/ation, heritage, history/ical, monument, museum, palace, tourism/t. However, it is acknowledged that it is possible that a small number of projects may have been missed as a result of using these particular key words.

For the vast bulk of the data gathered, enough information is available to be confident that the projects are indeed relevant to the broad definition of heritage used for this research. However, for the EAFRD, including the LEADER programme, it is likely that not all relevant lists or databases have been received. Therefore, the figures in this section are likely to be an underestimate.

The programmes that were researched are listed in the table below – these are colour coded to help navigate the various levels of funding. The first four columns show the names of these programmes from 2014 – some were different in 2007-2013 and these are included in the final column.

Trans-National Europe for Citizens Remembrance Projects Funds Civic Society Twin Towns Networks Projects Horizon 2020 / ERC Several FP7

For all of these programmes, the starting point was to identify the databases or downloadable lists of funded projects that are provided by the European Commission (for Interreg and the trans-national funds) and by the Welsh government (for the Structural Funds: ERDF, ESF, EAFRD, EMFF/EFF) – several hundred databases or schedules were accessed in this way.

APPENDIX – Additional Information, with Project Descriptions

EU funding can be split into two main categories:  The European Structural & Investment Funds (ESIF), which are mostly devolved back to the member states and, in the case of the UK, then distributed separately in England, Wales, Wales and NI. The ESIF also covers the Interreg programme which funds projects on the basis of trans-national partnerships and which distributes funds via a number of geographically focused strands and sub- strands (Wales is eligible to participate in 8 of these sub-strands).  The trans-national funds, which are programmes designed to stimulate collaborative working between partners from several eligible countries, or which support visits and exchanges between countries.

MER 01 Prosiect Symrna - Aberfan / Symrna Project- Aberfan Merthyr Tudful / Merthyr Tydfil 3 322 £ 150,000.00 £ 117,220.00 Smyrna Chapel was built in 1875 as a place of non-conformist worship for the village of Aberfan, situated in the Merthyr Vale Ward. However, as a result of declining numbers and the inability of the aging trustees and deacons to maintain the property, the church closed in the 1990’s and very quickly became an eyesore in the centre of the village that continues to decay. (Appendix 1) The rural development plan presents the opportunity for Smyrna to return to its former glory and following much consultation, a vision for Smyrna has been developed. In order to meet this vision three distinct phases have been identified: Phase 1 - Restoration of the Smyrna Building Phase 2 - Refurbishment of building interior as an Information/Heritage Centre Phase 3 - Complement Phases 1 & 2 with master plan to maximise the potential for the project This application seeks funding for phase 1 of the project which intends to restore and renovate the vestry of the chapel in preparation for phase 2 of the project. Phase 2 of the project will see the building refurbished in order for it to be utilised as an information/heritage centre. An application to support phase 2 of the project has been submitted to the Heritage Lottery Fund. As stated within the Business Plan, Merthyr Vale Ward has limited community facilities, resulting in a greater demand than supply for use; therefore the reinstatement of this building will make a positive contribution to local residents as well as to visitors to the area. It is also important to note that many of the intended activities that will take place within the building following the completion of phases 1 & 2 directly complement the key themes as highlighted the local development strategy. This project offers a unique opportunity to physically and socially regenerate the community of Aberfan in converting a derelict eyesore in the centre of the village to a building brought back into economic use for the mutual benefit of its citizens who face some of the most deprived social and economic conditions in Wales.

MON 06 Adfer Capeli Mynwent Trefynwy / Monmouth Cemetery Chapel Restoration Sir Fynwy / Monmouthshire 3 313 £ 150,000.00 £ 120,000.00 Cemetery chapels are often small structures that generally do not lend themselves particularly well to conversion. They have a morbid association with death particularly in an active graveyard. However, this Victorian 1861 chapel will be restored given the skills and imagination of the Friends of Monmouth Cemetery group. The chapel forms a gateway to the cemetery and it is intended to refurbish it to preserve the characteristics of the building both internally and externally. It is proposed to use the chapel as a genealogy centre where not only the historic integrity of the cemetery will be preserved by having interpretive panels on the walls, but it will allow people from all over the world to trace their ancestry which will help them build their family tree through use of an interactive portal where they will be able to access the cemetery records. They will be able to explore the cemetery, find clues that will help complete the jigsaw of their family picture and investigate further into their family history. Additional micro film to compliment existing film will be purchased so people will be able to go to the museum to trace information recorded in the local paper to add to their traced ancestry. The cemetery already tells its own story of our heritage and shows off some of the culture and characteristics of times past. The chapel will house further information to give Monmouth people and tourist a like a flavour of how people lived and died in Monmouth since 1850’s. The mud area outside the chapel will be grass creted to allow parking for 4-5 cars. This project is part of a wider project to preserve and conserve the cemetery and all that is housed within it.

3 323 £ 282,337.00 £ 225,337.00 The aim of the project will be to maintain and enhance the natural and visitor quality of 5 popular existing village nature reserves and heritage sites on Anglesey and to develop new such sites on the island. High priority will be placed on the enhancement of access to the countryside for local people and visitors. The project will also aim to protect Local Biodiversity Action Plan (LBAP) habitats and riparian species on the island (water voles and otters).

The nature/heritage sites will be managed in partnership with local communities—firstly through community councils, but also with voluntary groups, schools and conservation agencies. In this way the project will encourage social cohesion, leisure opportunities and community identity.

Each nature reserve has a management committee, which comprises the community council advised by a member of staff of Menter Môn. This arrangement is long term and will extend beyond the period of the present project for the foreseeable future. The management committee is responsible for the creation of a management plan, its implementation and its future review—in consultation with CCW.

The project will secure the conservation of LBAP riparian mammals, especially the water vole, for which Anglesey is one of the most important lowland sites in the UK. This work will complement current projects on Anglesey to enhance wetland Natura 2000 sites (CCW’s Anglesey Fens Project). This project is in partnership with the EAW and the North Wales Riparian Mammals Group, and thus linked to national mink control programmes.

This project is concerned with improving the physical environment of villages and communities, and to conserve the rural heritage of Caerphilly county borough.

Many of our rural communities are physically isolated in nature and are often former mining communities, with high levels of older terraced style housing and poor design features in terms of the quality of the local environment. Due to the former industrialised nature of these areas, it is vital to preserve the positive aspects of our history in order that they can be enjoyed by future generations.

There are two components of this project – Villages and Communities Key Fund and Healthy Villages.

The Key Fund is available to local community and voluntary groups to help them meet their agreed aims and priority projects, which have been established via activities such as the production of Local Action Plans. A mixture of capital and revenue grants will be available.

The Healthy Village concept aims to develop vibrant villages across the rural wards of Caerphilly through community participation and engagement in a variety of healthy initiatives. The term healthy will be interpreted to support the needs of each individual community. The overall intention will be to engage communities in action which will play a huge part in making community members physically and mentally healthier, along with fostering greater community pride and making the natural and built environment of the community “healthier”.

SWA.56 Abertawe / Swansea Gwarchod a gwella’r dreftadaeth wledig / Conservation and upgrading of rural heritage 3 323 £ 906,693.39 £ 724,246.79 Conservation and upgrading of rural heritage in Swansea is a component project of Swansea Rural Business Plan 2 20011-2013 aimed at enabling the conservation and upgrading of Swansea’s rural heritage through activities designed to engage the local population in conservation and environmental action activity. The project includes small-scale heritage conservation and improvements to two specific sites in Gower and Pontarddulais, as well as broader activities related to connecting people and communities back to the rural landscape that forms a significant element of Swansea’s rural heritage. As well as conserving heritage features, both schemes are important in making local communities aware of the heritage that exists on their doorstep through interpretation. The project also contains work around the cultural and heritage aspects of the Welsh language, which will help meet a key objective of the Swansea Rural Local Development Strategy 2007- 2013 on promotion and usage of the Welsh language in defining cultural distinctiveness in Swansea’s rural areas.

£ 536,330.00 £ 429,064.00 Llanyrafon Manor Rural Heritage Centre will represent and conserve a rural way of life which is significant to the area’s cultural, built and community heritage. The project will involve the restoration and adaptation of the Grade II * Listed Manor house and its external landscape. The site will be a local attraction displaying the history and significance of the Manor House and its surroundings within a rural context. Specific elements of the site and its activities will be focused upon community use and will become a local asset.

An Activity Programme will be developed by Rural Heritage Officer in partnership with Llanyrafon Manor Community Group, Schools and the local community. The Activity Programme will include the following:

Heritage Interpretation - Interpretation events, including costumed tours of the house. - Interpretation Trails throughout the grounds, to enable access to all areas of interest.

Education - Work in partnership with local schools to host a programme of Rural Nature Schools, to engage children and young people in their natural heritage. The programme will be linked to the existing Forrest Schools programme.

Business Development - Rural Business ‘showcase’ facilities throughout the grounds. - The RDP Lead Body will use the centre as a base for Rural Development, ensuring all the appropriate activities funded through both Axis 3 and 4 are hosted at the centre.

Community Events Programme - Re-enactment events - Outdoor theatre performance - Story Telling - May fair - Harvest celebrations

VAL.56 Bro Morgannwg / Vale of Glamorgan Balchder yn ein Treftadaeth / Pride in our Heritage 3 323 £ 648,500.00 £ 514,000.00 The Vale of Glamorgan harbours a rich and diverse heritage that encompasses the local cultural heritage and the heritage of the natural and built environment. However celebrations of the cultural heritage often suffer from being disparate and isolated with a lack of coordination. This isolation associated with heritage is reflected in the natural features with the heritage coast for instance often inaccessible and remote. In addition, a number of “heritage gems” within the Vale remain underutilised and in a fragile state. The aim of this project is to support financially sustainable and environmentally sensitive activity to enable residents, business community and visitors alike to celebrate the cultural, built and natural heritage of the rural Vale. This aim will be achieved through the following objectives: • Investing in the sustainable refurbishment of the rural Vale’s publicly accessible built heritage • Delivering activity that helps to conserve, promote and celebrate the natural and cultural heritage within the Vale • Increase the scale of coordination and collaboration amongst the Vale’s heritage features to achieve greater integration and to improve their long term viability This project is closely aligned with the Local Development Strategy objective – Making the Best Use of Local Resources.

VAL.58 Bro Morgannwg / Vale of Glamorgan Balchder yn y Fro / Pride in the Vale 4 41 £ 720,000.00 £ 576,000.00 The aim of this project is to maximise the direct contribution of the people of the Rural Vale to enhance the quality of life and the rural economy, by securing meaningful involvement of individuals, communities, social enterprises and micro-businesses in a range of activities to build ‘Pride in the Vale’. Two key themes have been identified for development under Pride in the Vale, namely: § Community Engagement and § Slow Tourism Under the community engagement theme, clear links have already been established with Axis 3 Pride in our Village project (Measure 322) which provides mainstream resources to enhance local pride and distinctiveness in local villages. Activity delivered through the Pride in Our Villages project will be underpinned by activity undertaken in Axis 4, specifically the process of community capacity building, involvement and taking the journey through to co-production. Through this process, opportunities for locally based solutions will be identified and creative, innovative approaches piloted, successful approaches will then “graduate” where appropriate to become eligible for the Pride in Our Villages Project. Under the Slow tourism theme, three key strands of activity have been identified: § Outdoor activities § Local food and the arts / culture § Promotion of the natural heritage of the area

EU Funding 2007-2016 – Heritage & the Historic Environment in Wales – undertaken by EUCLID – July 2017

The outdoor activities could include; walking, coastal, golf, cycling, bio-diversity and equine. Under each of these strands, opportunities to develop and pilot new, creative approaches to support “slow” tourism will be undertaken. New ideas will be identified as part of the engagement and consultation process.

The following is a detailed list of all projects relevant to heritage for this period.

Newport Memorial Hall - Conservation & interpretation of the Medieval Kiln Funding source:LEADER Amount of funding:£75,000 Completion date:30/09/2018 Area:Pembrokeshire Measure:19.2 This project seeks to ensure that our community can exploit the opportunities offered by a hitherto untouched late medieval monument in two ways; one to realise the economic potential it offers for developing heritage tourism in order to benefit the Pembrokeshire, and, equally important, use the project to uncover Newport’s medieval history involving all ages of the community by offering opportunities to participate through volunteering, educational events and community activities. This will encourage ownership and pride within our community and provide a focus for much needed community cohesion. This local resource is a hidden cultural and historical gem, a Medieval Pottery Kiln that is a Scheduled Monument. The Medieval Pottery Kiln is the best preserved medieval kiln in the UK and has been declared as an important British artifact unique to Pembrokeshire, Wales and indeed the UK. The kiln is currently hidden in the basement of Newport Memorial Hall inaccessible to the public and is now in urgent need of conservation. HLF, SDF and Cadw have pledged money to conserve the kiln and fund building works in order to open it up to the public. The very degraded (damp, cold and not used) area next to the kiln will be developed as part of this project to provide a space for all the activities that are planned as part of the project and on an ongoing basis continue to provide much needed workshop space for pottery and art classes and other activities for children and adults alike.

Mwclis Ddigidol Llangristiolus Funding source:LEADER Amount of funding:£3,000 Completion date:31/12/2016 Area:Isle of Anglesey Measure:19.2 Summary of project The proposal seeks specialist digital technology support to investigate the most appropriate means of technology to produce a village trail leaflet for Llangristiolus. The current thinking is for a ‘Pokemon’ style programme which will focus on the strengths of the area, being the history and the natural environment. Walking in general on the island is an activity undertaken by ages 40 – 80, it is well known that children and young people would rather take part in sporting activities or anything linked to the digital world. ‘Pokemon’ has been very successful in getting young people out and about and without realising it learning about a variety of things within their communities. Llangristiolus has a thriving youth club, it is intended for the specialist to work with the community and its youth club to ascertain what would ‘get them out there’ and how this new activity can be used for many other routes on the island including the updating of the ‘saints walks’ produced in the 1990’s. Once the way forward is decided the pilot will need to still make use of the traditional paper format but will also need to incorporate the new ideas into it in an innovative way which will be identified in the conclusion report. The study will also explore the best ways to QR code or ‘not’ gravestones of interest in Llangristiolus Cemetery

Inland Anglesey Digital History Funding source:LEADER Amount of funding:£4,500 Completion date:31/10/2016 Area:Isle of Anglesey

Mewndir Môn Funding source:LEADER Amount of funding:£3,308 Completion date:31/01/2017 Area:Isle of Anglesey Measure:19.2 Summary of project Pump priming activity to challenge the communities for Leader ideas - This is one of the recommendations emanating from the Welsh Adventure Packages study and involves filming initially 2, not very often visited communities in inland Anglesey – Llannerchymedd and Gwalchmai. The intention is to research the history and other interesting things about then challenge the community to respond to its own failings and successes with a view to attract visitors from the island ‘honey pots’ to inland Anglesey and thereby encouraging economic growth.

The film will consist of ad hoc street interviews with a good cross section of the community including business owners which will be filmed in a sensitively and humorous way and the use of a drone to ‘spy’ on community character’s (with their approval of course) The above activity will challenge local people’s knowledge and aspirations and explore ‘what makes them different’ The types of questions asked will be:- . Where has the village name come from? . What is the most memorable thing about your village? . If Gwalchmai was an animal, what would it be? . How many n’s are there in Llannaerchymedd? . Who is the funniest, most famous, angry, loveliest person in Llanerchymedd and why? . Which is best, Gwalchmai Uchaf or gwalchmai Isaf and why? . Which is the most Welsh community? This film when produced will be shown on you-tube and facebook/twitter via a commissioned social media campaign designed to challenge and attract comments, with a view to getting people really thinking about their community and generate feedback and ideas on how to energise in-land Anglesey via the LEADER approach.

Pop up Museum Funding source:LEADER Amount of funding:£10,800 Completion date:30/06/2017 Area:Isle of Anglesey Measure:19.2 Summary of project This pilot will focus on a trail of 4 themed pop up museum’s which will be run in partnership with the 8 existing museums/heritage centres on Anglesey and Menter Iaith Môn. The pop up museum will need to bolt on to an event or occasion where there are good visitor numbers or in a busy town. Anglesey communities will be given the opportunity to bring personal possessions of heritage and language value to the pop up museum and discuss their items with other people who have contributed and therefore tell their story. Representatives of the sector will also be on hand to help validate and exhibit the objects with a view to the items possibly being loaned to existing providers who are continually in need of keeping what they offer ‘new’ and ‘fresh’ to encourage increased footfall and boost the economy of the island. There would also be 1 additional pop up museum which would collectively bring together all of the existing museums/heritage centres with the addition of Gwynedd Archaeological Trust and the tourism sector to showcase what the island already has to offer. The pilot would need to managed by a contractor who will be hands on in regards to marketing to the community, marketing to the public and arranging and manning the exhibitions, he/she will also be responsible for the evaluation of the pilot and looking at ways of using the experience to further develop the cultural tourism offer for the island.

Past to Present@ SWMM (South Wales Miners Museum) Funding source:LEADER Amount of funding:£318,442 Completion date:31/01/2019 Area:Neath Port Talbot Measure:19.2 Summary of project The overall activities that will be supported as part of the Past to Present @ SWMM project will focus on the development and up- skilling of Volunteers at the Museum and marketing the new additions to the museums activities and interactive guided tours/walks. To maintain and ensure the success of this project, the museum will employ two officers; a Collections Officer (CO) and a Heritage Officer (HO). Through the success of this project, the museum will be able to increase volunteer participation by the sharing of best practice.

These roles will play an instrumental part with the recruiting and retaining of volunteers as well as training and upskilling the volunteers. These posts have been funded by HLF. There will be a heavy focus of the recruitment of new volunteers. A fully integrated programme of volunteer training will be designed and implemented to ensure that new and existing volunteers are able to better care for and maintain the museum’s collection and resources, in compliance with SPECTRUM, the international and national standard for museum collection and management. This will consist of the creation of a volunteer museum collection team who will appropriately care for the collection and will work on rotation and back log the museum collection. Volunteers will receive training on how to access and upload all information and interpretative content via WI-FI onto the IPS that will be located at key location along the innovative interactive walks. Through the maintenance of our artefacts and enable volunteers to give innovative and informative guided walks using exciting digital technology, the content can be changed regularly and will integrate the information gathered by the community and local schools in order to make the experience more interactive and personal. This will go on to increase the skills learned by local volunteers and visitors and will encourage participants to take ownership of projects within the museum. This will be an opportunity for the museum to not only increase the visitor numbers and the diversity of these visits, but to also improve its volunteer and community participation through personal engagement in local projects. The museum will look into encouraging all participants from different backgrounds by promoting community engagement and outdoor activity with the guided walks and also create a greater sense of appreciation of the local history through the recording of stories and the handling of artefacts. Offering this project to local volunteers, it will add value to their local identity and promote natural and cultural heritage resources, something that does not yet exist within the Afan Valley. Currently the volunteers of the museum are an aging generation. Their knowledge and experience will be lost unless the museum acts now through recruiting new volunteers to pass on local knowledge and understanding of the history of the South Wales Miners’ Museum.

The Engagement Treat Funding source:LEADER Amount of funding:£61,374 Completion date:28/02/2018 Area:Neath Port Talbot Measure:19.2 Summary of project The aim of the project is to enable business and development in NPT and to encourage innovative green business through appropriate use and improvement of our natural heritage. It is intended that this project will deliver an innovative project that will aim to inform best practice nationally in relation to providing a strategic approach to biodiversity compensation. This will aim to

EU Funding 2007-2016 – Heritage & the Historic Environment in Wales – undertaken by EUCLID – July 2017

70 enable business and development and therefore investment in NPT through reducing the burden on investors whilst developing a new green business approach that would deliver benefits for both the natural heritage of NPT and local rural residents and landowners throughout the county borough. The project will: . encourage local landowners and communities to diversify their land uses and current business uses to develop a new green business of providing new areas of biodiversity habitat to offset losses to developments . develop a strategic approach to locating appropriate locations for such provisions that will continue to support and improve our natural heritage and provide better value compensation both in respect of development investment and ecological functioning . encourage and promote the improvement and development of more natural open green space areas, where the natural heritage can be enjoyed by residents • set out specifications for on the ground habitat creation/restoration or improvement . work towards demonstrating the approach that may develop into best practice Further Detail: The first step will be to develop a strategy utilising available data; including: existing records, habitat mapping; Neath Port Talbot connectivity mapping and Wales Ecosystems Groups Priority habitat mapping; along with data from the NPT accessible natural greenspace toolkit assessment. The strategy will look at identifying and targeting areas for habitat improvement, creation, restoration at a local scale. This will particularly focus upon habitats or habitats supporting species that are commonly encountering a problem in relation to development. In Neath Port Talbot Reptiles are a key constraint to development and will therefore be the first to be considered as part of the strategy. The provision of habitats suitable for reptiles will also deliver in respect of priority habitats; such as wetlands, hedges, heathland. The project will develop a pilot approach in relation to targeting locations for reptile habitat compensation that will then be expanded upon to cover other species and habitat types. It is considered likely that many areas will be able to deliver for multiple S42/LBAP species and habitats. The strategy will target areas for habitat creation, restoration and improvement. Landowners will be approached and with landowner agreement it is intended to set out habitat work specifications to develop a number of pilot sites to enable them to be ready to provide a mitigation or compensation option for developers. These specifications can then be used to take forwards practical on the ground works in the future. The project would be delivered through funding a specialist contractor. Once set up the strategic approach will be applied and offered alongside the planning process and is intended to be self-sustaining in relation to funding for maintenance and new sites via S106 agreements. The project will fit with the principles being set out in the emerging NPT LDP and the Local Biodiversity Action Plan.

This section includes details of all projects with Wales partners and with relevance to the heritage sector.

2007-2013

A: West Wales and Ireland and Northern Ireland and South West of Wales

AFC: Age Friendly Communities 988,795.00 Lead Partner: Conwy County Council Wales Partner(s): Pembrokeshire County Council Angelesey County Council Description: Demographic change across the European Union is characterised by an increase of older people within society which reinforces the need to build and maintain strong communities. Age Friendly Communities aims to address in a sustainable way the issues created by demographic change by supporting the development of cohesive intergenerational communities in Wales and Ireland.

The project centres around two axes. Firstly, it will allow developing intergenerational strategies on both local and cross-border levels. Secondly, it will allow the testing of pilot activities to encourage cohesion & social inclusion, positive image & cultural heritage, healthy lifestyles & life-long learning in the cross-border region.

Project Objectives: • Create vibrant community for all by supporting the development of intergenerational strategies on both cross-border and local levels; • Create cohesive communities through the implementation of pilot projects targeting the social inclusion of older people within society; • Capture, protect and preserve cultural heritage by reinforcing the positive image of older people within society; • Ensure well-being through encouraging lifelong learning activities.

HERCULES: Heritage and Culture for Learning, Empowerment and Sustainable Tourism 394,731.00 Lead Partner: University of Wales Trinity St. David Description: The HERCULES project pilots an innovative education and community development approach to empower communities to develop sustainable cultural tourism products built on a ‘Sense of Place’ defined as; embracing the distinctive sights, sounds and experiences rooted in a country, including the unique and memorable qualities that resonate with local people and visitors alike (Welsh Government).

HERCULES combines training and community capacity building with a cross-border regional social network to create new sustainable tourism business opportunities and jobs.

Project Objectives: • Conduct sense of place research in cross-border region to identify assets and growth areas; • Pilot an online sense of place and associated media training programme targeted at communities, tourism related SME’s and entrepreneurs; • Create a sustainable online sense of place social network; • Unite community/ SME tourism/ public sectors within the project and social network.

By developing the sense of place concept into a practical training toolkit with an associated social network, it is intended this pilot will kick-start a process of creating a recognisable tourism brand of specific benefit to communities in the cross-border region, by achieving the following: • Establishing cross-border cultural links; • Identification of new sustainable tourism/ social enterprise business opportunities; • Providing lifelong learning and skills development for communities; • Community regeneration through sustainable cultural tourism and job creation.

Metal Links: Forging Communities Together 986,886.00 Lead Partner: Royal Commission on the Ancient & Historical Monuments of Wales Wales Partner(s): Anglesey Geopark Pentir Pumlumon Description: Metal Links will bring together communities from Ireland and Wales that share a common historical link through the exploitation of metal ore, with the core aims to: • Develop and promote joint socially inclusive opportunities for sustainable regeneration of former metal-mining communities through tourism as well as creating local awareness and pride of place; • Promote and encourage new cultural and educational links including exchanges and interaction based on mining, archaeology, geology and cultural heritage; • Share new ways of telling the ‘story’ of the mining areas and hinterlands with the view towards a unique tourism product contributing towards economic regeneration.

Former mining water & wind power sites will be identified that have future community potential. Communities will be empowered to make use of innovative archaeological , historical & geological techniques that will increase the known archaeological resource & use pollen evidence that shows the carbon-sinks of peat bogs can extend the community story backwards over 6,000 years.

Pioneering e-trails, laser-scan surveys & interpretive animations feeding community narratives, are among the cultural tourism resources that will be made available on sustainable websites. A Celtic Quad tourism trail & sustainable enterprises will be maintained beyond the project.

These aims would be achieved through the following objectives and outputs: • Visit the historical context of interaction between the mining communities; • Promote cross-border initiatives in geological interpretation, archaeological survey and built heritage to use and promote assets through modern and sustainable digital techniques and the internet; • Develop and demonstrate joint modern scientific investigative resources such as paleo-botanical and geochemical sampling of peat deposits to present an interpretation of local environmental histories; • Evaluate historical water and wind power usage in these mining regions to explore opportunities for reusing existing potential for renewable assets; • Ascertain how UNESCO status - Geopark and World Heritage can be attained to promote tourism and used to regenerate local communities; • Improve the awareness of the mining landscapes though the development and promotion of loop trails following old mining tracks, roads, railways & watercourse systems to develop culture & adventure tourism; • Establish links and cultural exchanges based on mining, archaeology, geology, commercial and cultural heritage; • Develop, implement and demonstrate best practice in presenting mining heritage - paperless information trails using ‘e-trails’.

Rising Tide 1,517,375.00 Lead Partner: Milford Haven Port Authority Description: The Rising Tide project aims to support social inclusion through joint activities, events and training and develop and promote joint opportunities for sustainable community regeneration, drawing on and giving recognition to the maritime identity, maritime heritage and coastal environment of the cross border region.

Project Objectives: • Develop and deliver VOCATIONAL TRAINING PROGRAMMES, which will provide progression routes for marginalised members of the community and develop participants; • COMMUNITY REGENERATION PROGRAMMES to develop local events, activities and projects with local stakeholders in the development of maritime tourism and promotion of local enterprise; • CROSS BORDER EXCHANGES between training programme participants, community stakeholders and coastal communities to facilitate interpretation and development that will support community regeneration.

REINFFORCE: REsource INFrastructure for monitoring and adapting European Atlantic FORests under Changing climatE 2,556,352.01

EU Funding 2007-2016 – Heritage & the Historic Environment in Wales – undertaken by EUCLID – July 2017

78

Lead Partner: Institut Européen de la Forêt Cultivée (IEFC) France Wales Partners: Forest Research Description: The theme of the forest adaptation to climate change is a priority for the entire forestry in the AA, since the material currently installed will have a direct impact on forest production in the next 15, 50 or 80 years, under the influence of a climate that will average 2 to 5 degrees warmer. The REINFFORCE project (Resource infrastructure for monitoring and adapting European Atlantic forests Under changing climate) aims to pool the research capacities of 11 research institutes in order to meet the challenge of the adaptation of Atlantic forests to climate change. This project's main objective is to establish a network of arboreta containing seedlings which have been selected according to their genetic origin along the Atlantic seaboard, in order to assess the adaptability of different tree varieties to a wide range of climatic and environmental conditions. A network of demonstration sites was implemented to monitor the efficiency of adaptive silviculture in the field. These two networks will be regularly monitored through a common protocol for at least 15 years. The collected data will be centralized in order to facilitate the exchange of analyses. The project's implementation is developed in three phases. In the preparatory phase, the sites for the two networks are selected, with the main criteria being the homogeneity of the plot and the representativeness of the site in terms of production. The tree species selection process involves both carrying out a literature review and consulting scientific experts. The second phase of the project consists of installing the arboreta and the demonstration sites. This phase is very exigent in terms of logistics because it involves producing and dispatching more than 120000 plants to more than 38 sites. The trials are installed in partnership with landowners and local actors to ensure their continuity beyond the end of the project. The third phase is the validation of the aforementioned protocol and the development of a common database where all the information collected within the network is stored online. The development of a common protocol for climate monitoring, health, phenological cycles and growth of forest species, duly documented, is a relevant contribution of REINFFORCE in terms of evaluation processes of the adaptation of forests to climate change. Interested parties benefit from two databases with information on the results of tests performed under the scope of the project: one with technical and ecological properties of the species and another with a forest inventory of the tests performed.

Atlanterra – Green Mines 1,576,720.00 Lead Partner: Commune de Noyant-la-Gravoyère France Wales Partners: Royal Commission on the Ancient & Historical Monuments of Wales Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council Description: The ATLANTERRA project covers former mining regions, aiming to preserve and value their heritage to create new sources of wealth. The project will enable the creation of a network and practical tools to properly identify the mining sites of the AA and it will establish the practice of collectively managing and organising the human activities related to the mining legacy of the AA and help resolve the common problems identified. ATLANTERRA aims above all to contribute to the conservation and promotion of the Atlantic transnational cultural heritage. Historically, mining and the industrial activities arising from it were very important for the economic, social and cultural development of the AA. Waterways and maritime routes were widely used for transporting ore, and the inland and coastal regions were strongly dependent on each other.

IMAGINA-ATLANTICA Espace Atlantique, Territoires créatifs innovants 1,061,871.17 Lead Partner: Communauté d'Agglomération du Grand Angoulême France Wales Partners: Centre for Advanced Software Technology Ltd-CAST Description: The desired results of this project are:  A sustainable digital imaging technologies cluster based on of a transnational centre of competencies in education, economic development and heritage enhancement.  the dissemination of a tourism product based on innovative technologies for the digital enhancement of the Atlantic Area;  a digital art contest open to students, young professionals and designers to create innovative projects that promote  digital heritage; professional exchange programmes for schools and universities, companies, festivals;  the creation of a collaborative web platform

Rural Alliances 4982307.11 Lead Partner: Brecon Beacons National Park Authority Wales Partner(s): University of Wales, Trinity Saint David / Prifysgol Cymru y Drindod Dewi Sant Description: RURAL ALLIANCES aims to address urgent challenges caused by rapid demographic change in rural areas by putting into practice a completely new alliance building concept. Enterprise-Community Alliances will be formed to build self-supporting, inclusive, confident rural communities, strengthening NWE’s rural competitive & cohesive position & countering negative effects of demographic change Progressive changes in the socio-economic framework of rural areas have led to increasing fragmentation with out-migration of young people, ageing populations & reduced employment & community wellbeing. These demographic changes diminish vibrancy & the contribution of rural areas to the EU economy. Current pressure on public resources for modern services/infrastructure in rural areas increases this problem. This new form of alliance involves people of all ages, backgrounds & residential status in partner areas (UK. IE. DE. FR. NL & BE) to undertake joint actions & be their own agents for change. Alliances formed between entrepreneurs & their communities will integrate enterprise principles with community values, using the power of loyalty, pride & self-esteem to improve areas’ competitiveness, sustainability & inclusivity, supported by innovative financial engineering techniques. A new common method will be developed to measure rural vibrancy. Alliances will forge new relationships with the public sector to safeguard & enhance rural resources/services. Partners will build on their recently shared knowledge & experiences (e.g. ‘do democracy’. ‘the rural account’, clustering, ambassadors) providing fast-track solutions to identified needs of local communities GOALS ¦Establish Enterprise-Community Alliances to increase rural vibrancy & counter negative demographic change¦New paradigms & roles for inclusive local governance¦Maximise potential & experience of citizens & businesses¦Joint service delivery for improved liveability¦Innovative business cases disseminated across EU

SHARE: SAFEGUARDING HERITAGE AND RURAL ECONOMIES 2,340,694.56 Lead Partner: Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council Description: SHARE aims to safeguard rural culture & heritage to preserve cultural diversity: a key economic driver & generator of social cohesion. Rural heritage is an asset & resource of EU territories; its quality plays a vital part in making rural areas sustainable & attractive, particularly in the town-country balance. SHARE will show crisis-hit European economies how to stretch public & private finances to safeguard rural heritage whilst meeting high quality standards. Rural areas, even the most disadvantaged have tangible (physical) & intangible (non-physical) elements linking past, present & future; i.e. buildings, skills, traditions & practices of recognised societal, cultural. & architectural value. This heritage contributes to the quality of life of inhabitants & the attractiveness of areas to those who live there & to visitors. Partners have different approaches & knowledge of traditional skills to share, to: archive, restore buildings & structures, preserve artefacts & interiors, interpret & commercialise these heritage assets. Partners will share methods to engage different sectors to undertake work & learn new skills, e.g. volunteers, visitors etc. providing opportunities for job creation, economic development & social integration. Partners will develop & test methods based on transnational cooperation to increase local appreciation, interest & conservation of rural culture & heritage, with long term commitments of all stakeholders. ? Engage & equip volunteers & trainees with heritage skills. ? Ensure high quality restoration, conservation & maintenance of tangible & intangible heritage. ? Establish a competency based European Heritage Skills Passport Scheme to revive rural skills & engage artisans & volunteers in restoration & conservation projects. ? Create a transnational method to record traditional rural skills, referenced to high standards for future research. ? Undertake conservation pilots in 4 areas working locally & transnationally.

WECAN Working together for Economically-prosperous Communities through Assets of Natural heritage 2,065,894.75 Lead Partner: Regionaal Landschap Kempen en Maasland (RLKM) Belgium Wales Partner(s): Groundwork Wales Sustainable Futures Directorate, Welsh Assembly Government Description: The project aims to determine and demonstrate how best the natural heritage can be utilised as a catalyst for economic growth to benefit communities in densely-populated post-industrial areas in NWE. The participating regions are defined as “densely- populated post-industrial areas” which have suffered from a massive decline in heavy industry, especially coal mining and related

80 industries. These areas are now experiencing economic and social deprivation with high levels of economic inactivity. The previously industrial communities in this proposal share a common feature in that they abut extensive areas of natural heritage, coupled with increasing areas of reclaimed former industrial land. By addressing this aim we will generate improved economic benefits for our communities and so engender greater prosperity pride and confidence in our regions. The actual economic crisis effects the NEW, so it’s the projects aim to maximise the underestimated economic potential of the natural heritage. The partnership will demonstrate in an innovative way how to activate this potential, with a long lasting impact and a leverage effect for new investments. (1)The “natural heritage” can be defined as a collection of non-urban open spaces of at least 10 km² with an exceptional (inter)national value for biodiversity and/or the landscape. In NEW, the ‘natural heritage’ is adjacent to and linked with densely populated urban areas and consequently has a significant influence on the quality of life and prosperity of local communities. This proposal is NOT about the improved management of this natural heritage, but instead about concrete actions to increase the engagement with the natural heritage of the corporate sector, visitors and communities in order to utilise it responsibly and sustainably to stimulate and maximise economic benefits.

ZEN: Zero-Impact Cultural Heritage Event Network 1,252,456.10 Lead Partner: Sviluppumbria - Regional Development Agency for Economic Promotion Italy Wales Partners: Powys County council Description: Zero-impact cultural heritage Event Network – ZEN is a project aimed at developing a shared methodology to reduce the impact of events and festivals in historic centers and on cultural heritage through the exchange of significant experiences and lessons learned by the particpating partners. All over Europe, events and festivals have the ability to draw positive effects on tourism, cultural diversity and local economy but they also have critical impact on local context and, more in general, on the environment. In the UK alone, it is estimated that live music events produce 400,000t Co2 annually and a 2007 survey carried out by the University of Buckinghamshire on behalf of A Greener Festival on 649 festival goers in Great Britain, Germany and the Netherlands found out that 80% were concerned about noise, 82% thought waste had a negative impact, 84% were worried about the impact of travel and transport, 60% expressed concern about water and land damage. The same survey found out that 42% of respondents believed that the responsibility for minimising these damages lies with local authorities, as many of the negative effects of events are felt immediately at local level, with increase in noise and air pollution, waste production, pressure on transport and infrastructure and damage to fragile cultural heritage. Based on these data, the main focus of ZEN is to work with different know-how and experiences to provide common solutions at EU level dealing with the reduction of these negative effects on urban settings of cultural and artistic significance and that will provide a roadmap to manage and protect cultural heritage in occasion of open-air events that attract large numbers of people. The findings of the project will be transferred at policy level through the development of an implementation plan for each participating region, and by assuring: A)exchange of experiences and best practices among all PPs, based on individual know-how and on experiences to be researched in European regions and transferred to the PPs; B) development of a common approach at strategic level to manage the effects and impact of events on historic centres and cultural heritage; C) involvement of the local communities, both public and private stakeholders, in order to share the project’s aims and to make local actors as active participants in the process; D) diffusion of the project’s results. ZEN partnership consists of local and regional authorities, Universities and Business support centres who are involved with events and festivals in different ways, and that are often responsible for co-financing and guaranteeing public services. Their inputs will be valuable to address the common problems and the opportunities that arise from a future, ‘zero-impact’ approach to events and to interface with those communities who are the primary beneficiaries, but also the most affected by the effects of events in their territories

SURF-Nature Sustainable Use of Regional Funds for Nature 1,256,000.00 Lead Partner: Federal Environment Agency Austria Austria Wales Partners: Environment Agency Wales Description: The Sustainable Use of Regional Funds for Nature (SURF – Nature) project is a partnership of 14 authorities and public bodies (or bodies under public law) working together to optimise regional policies and practices with regard to promotion and preservation of natural heritage, biodiversity, and nature conservation through improving opportunities for and the impacts of financing these measures from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). For the first time in the history of the ERDF, the current regulation specifically refers to the option for financing natural heritage, biodiversity and nature conservation (including NATURA 2000). This is consistent with an EC decision that investments in the Natura 2000 network of protected sites should be integrated into existing EC funds. As a result, nearly €4 billion in EU co-financing is available across the Member States for nature protection. To best take advantage of the funds available, managing authorities and entities responsible for nature conservation need to improve their awareness of the availability of funding, and their capacity to identify, develop, and implement the necessary investment projects. In addition, authorities need to see the concrete benefits of using the funds for nature protection, and understand how to integrate these benefits into overall development planning for future funding cycles. Despite diversity across Europe, regions face similar issues when they seek financing for nature protection and promotion, particularly in the context of EU- funded programmes. Cooperation between regions and other relevant partners therefore has tremendous potential to transfer good practices, and to stimulate the development of mutually beneficial new ideas and methods. To tackle these issues, the SURF- Nature partnership will carry out a series of activities aimed at the identification, analysis and dissemination of experience and good practice with using ERDF funds for nature conservation. Partners will analyse existing ERDF funding programmes (OPs) to identify how nature conservation is integrated into the process. A data base of 60 good practice investment projects will be created. The partnership will conduct a series of interregional workshops on specific funding themes and a series of training sessions within partner regions. Based on the results, partners will produce guidance documents covering specific funding themes, investment project development, and the next generation of funding programmes. Project outputs and results will be disseminated through the project website, quarterly newsletters, contacts with other initiatives, and two European conferences.

Europe for Citizens

As a general point, the listings of successful projects for this programme do not provide information about other partners – so it is impossible to tell whether any of these other partners were from England. And, even if this information was available, the project title is usually such that it does not provide enough information to tell whether the project was relevant to the sector.

There do not appear to have been any projects relevant to the heritage sector in Wales funded by this programme.

2007-13

Town Twinning There were some grants to UK local authorities and twinning associations. However, these lists only provide the names of the twin towns and, given these are simply meetings between twin towns, it is unlikely these were especially relevant to the arts or musuems. Networks of Twin There were a small number of grants to UK local authorities and others but no evidence Towns that any of these had a heritage focus. Citizens Projects There were a small number of grants to UK organisations (e.g. 100,000 euros to Plantlife International in 2011 for “Natural Networks of Places and People”) but none (in any part of the UK) appear to have a heritage focus. Civil Society Projects There were a small number of grants to UK organisations but none (in any part of the UK) appear to have a heritage focus. Remembrance There was just 1 grant to any UK organisations in this period – and this was to an arts Projects organisation in Scotland for a performing arts project: 22,000 euros to Benchtours Productions in 2007 for a theatre production based on the experiences of disabled people in the Holocaust. Operational Grants There were 4 UK organisations receiving grants from this strand but none (in any part of & Support Measures the UK) appear to have a heritage focus.

EST-2009-1-DE3-COM06-05362 Communicating Cultural Creativity DE,UK,IE,BE,NL Lead Partner: BG Sveti Sedmochislenitsi Secondary School Welsh Partner: Bishop Vaughan Catholic School Description: Schools have to prepare children to make a success of their lives. It is the 21st century, but our schools are not there, and our challenge is to reinvent them for the 21st century for the sake of our students. It`s worth to invest in our talented and responsible, engaged and active, self- confident, unique and reliable European students. Through this partnership we hope to help them acquire competences necessary for their personal development and for active European citizenship.

The project concerns with enabling and promoting students` participation in social process to act as creative, talented and active European citizens. We plan to make students aware of their unique local and national heritage and their value in the modern world. We also hope to help students understand that the good education is a treasure and inspire them to develop a lifelong love of learning.

We hope to support our students` efforts to become truly global and active citizens, to motivate them to express and improve all their abilities and talents and make them achieve their full potential as individuals. We intend to stimulate them to open their minds for a better life in a diverse and multicultural world with no discrimination, violence and social exclusion.

We aim to help students explore universal living values and implement them in relations to themselves, others, the community and Europe.

We also would like to promote developing effective oral and written communication skills in mother and foreign language(s), collaboration and team work, critical thinking and problem solving. We aim to develop our students` curiosity and imagination.

We would like to make strong and successful cooperation in order to prepare students to take their place within a democratic society.

Background: Tourism is one of the strongest driving forces for economic development in Europe. It represents 12% of Europe’s GDP and “with two million enterprises, the tourism sector is responsible for 20 million jobs and capable of creating 100,000 new jobs per year” (CEDOP; PS 115; 2005). Especially for less developed areas, tourism often offers the only promising economic opportunities - such as for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany’s poorest federal state, which has an average unemployment rate of 15.5%. Tourism is the only strong economic sector, where 15.1% of the state’s employees produce 11.1 % of the net gross income. Tourism still has a lot of potential for growth and job creation, but in a long term perspective it would be extremely important to develop and implement sustainable, nature-based and cultural heritage-based tourism concepts to avoid mistakes and disadvantages since many regions still suffer from mass tourism developments from 1960s to 1990s.

Unfortunately, until now too few learners and students in Europe have access to high-quality education in this area to feed the labour market and regional developments needs. One of the problems is that there are no ODL and IT-based learning programmes. To improve the general learning situation in the sustainable and nature-based tourism sector, to strengthen the position of this field within the tourism industry in general and to introduce IT-based learning to the education programmes of top-level training providers – these are the aims of the STITCH project.

Activities and impact:- Design of a European Curriculum covering the most important contents in the area of sustainable and nature-based tourism; 6 modules on 3 different levels each (VET level - 60 hours/2 credit points; Bachelor level - 90 hours/3 credit points; Masters level - 150 hours/5 credit points)- Design of a blended learning training concept combining IT-based learning with other learning methods- Collection of best practice material and content from partner organisations and combination to STITCH course- Development of an appropriate e-learning environment and implementation of learning materials- Development of a STITCH Handbook with additional learning materials and content (for combination with IT- based learning units)- Testing of materials and outputs in 7 pilots- Development of a policy strategy paper including recommendations to political decision makers on how to successfully improve the IT-based learning situation in Europe’s VET/higher education tourism sector- Direct implementation of STITCH concept and course in the official training programme of all VET/higher education partner organisations.

Main Results:- STITCH curriculum (approx. 10 pages in 7 languages)- STITCH material pool an learning content (approx. 180 p./7 lang.)- STITCH IT- based learning environment- STITCH Handbook (approx. 40 p./7 lang.; publication in 100 copies/country)- STITCH DVD (100 copies/country)- STITCH pilots in 7 countries- STITCH policy strategy (approx. 15 p./7 lang.; 500 copies/country)- Website with download section for all documents - high number of dissemination and evaluation activities (e.g. flyers, posters, conferences).

Target groups:VET/higher education providers and their students in the tourism sector; communities/regions focusing on tourism; policy makers on education, labour market, regional development and ecological level.

Partnership:9 experienced and reliable partners from 8 different countries, representing VET providers, universities, SMEs, chambers and associations as well as the cultural diversity of the EU with different approaches, standards and perspectives. They all have in common the willingness to develop an IT-based learning concept for the area of sustainable and nature-based tourism work for immediate implementation and usage after the end of the project.Additionally, 17 associated partner organisations will support our project on different levels.

EST-2010-1-IT2-COM06-14370 Celtic roots, Roman routes throughout Europe: meeting the first Europeans. IT,HU,UK,DE,TR,ES,RO Lead Partner: IT Ist. Comp. Sanremo Foce Welsh Partners: PHOENIX INTEGRATED PRIMARY SCHOOL YSGOL PENNANT Description: The project envisages working together to consider the multicultural aspect of the European community under common roots and links, in order to observe the historical events and trails, making the pupils and their families aware about the importance of different cultures connected by the same identity and framing hypothesis for innovative actions in the school and in the connected environment by studying the past times and comparing them with the present. The participating schools cooperated in order - To know the different national and regional situations in the historic-ethnic-social aspect, to discover the differences and similarities about our European origins connected to Celts and Romans, comparing past and present times of our Europe. - To observe each school as a place where pupils can recognize themselves as European citizens through the discovery of events and remains representing their cultural heritage. - To enhance the cooperation between the participating schools in order to be a common institution involving all pupils and all citizens, where to explore and discover the different aspects of the united Europe. -To favour the education to Citizenship by getting to know different kind of rules and codes in European history, compared to the present European Institutions. The project will deal the educational practices of the schools in providing critical instruments useful for the comprehension of different European customs, traditions, behaviours and languages and their evolution leading to the actual E.U. Through common methods and activities the partner schools will teach how to discover the basis of the European social life and democracy, motivating the pupils to develop the awareness of their own culture and of belonging to a common Nation.

LV,SI,UK,DK,HU Lead Partner: FR ECOLE D APPLICATION JEAN-JACQUES ROUSSEAU Welsh Partner: Penyrenglyn Community Primary School Description: Schools that have applied to take part in this project wish to design and implement a shared pedagogy about the heritage of public gardens in Europe, under the heading: "Parks and public gardens of our cities." Having discovered and investigated the public spaces in their environment, students will make a virtual presentation of the city gardens and parks, using a slide show.

A squirrel, in the form of a stuffed toy, will go into every school, with his travelbook (to be written by the children). It will collect pictures and texts about the public gardens that it will discover.

Then, students will develop strategies to study a chosen area. This would allow them to explore different possible approaches: - artistic: public garden in the future, singing-gardens, - historical: statues - scientific: preserve green space, flora and fauna, - architecture: maps, inventories, landscape architecture

We would like to realize the following: the first year: - communication that helps us to know each other better (comparison of cultures, of daily life etc.) - discovery of the parks, through the journey of the squirrel. And, gradually, through the subject: "Parks and public gardens of our cities" - herb collection - writing a story taking place in an European park.

EACEA-539856 539856-LLP-1-2013-1-UK-GRUNDTVIG-GMP CITCOM – Citizenry and Community CZ,FR,LT,RO,UK,IT Lead Partner: FR UNIVERSIT PIERRE ET MARIE CURIE Welsh Partner: CARDIFF UNIVERSITY Description: The current challenges facing Europe give science and technology education a huge importance. Improving the attractiveness of science and science/technology careers among youngsters is widely recognized as vital in light of the Lisbon agenda. Schools should and can make science education more attractive by improving the quality of inclassroom science education and sound use of non-formal or informal in-school activities. Our main goal is the promotion of experimental science teaching to improve scientific education in schools, by “taking” hands-on experimental, active learning into the classroom. New opportunities from ICT developments, as well as the role of science centres/museums, must be explored in order to render the process of learning science in our schools more participatory, appealing, self-challenging and rewarding.

Our project will make science education more attractive while promoting and diffusing good practices in non-formal/informal activities among teachers, schools, and national/transnational educational boards. A task force will be established to pursue a major public relations effort approaching teachers/educators, students, schools, Ministries of Education and Education bodies, in a systematic attempt to prove and illustrate the benefits and importance of informal learning of science in schools. We will contribute significantly to raising the attractiveness of science education and to the development/modernization of EU schools. Our project will have a very positive impact on the way students interpret school and the whole process of learning.

To achieve these ambitious goals and objectives, the Hands-On Universe program will be organised as follow: • Three training sessions open to ~100 teachers from 14 EU countries • Production of pedagogical resources, adapted/translated to partner countries (secondary school programs) • Creation/update of national websites to freely disseminate pedagogical materials, plus a forum allowing teachers to share knowledge and experiences • Update and release a free, pupil-friendly software package, to be used in the classroom, translated to 14 partner languages

All resources will be available long after the end of the grant, particularly through our two associated partners, ESO and the International Year of Astronomy GALILEO project.

IT Ass. Culturale Pinocchio di Carlo Lorenzini Welsh Partner: Llanelli Multicultural Network Description: The project is directed to the formation of a consciousness open to creativity and to increasing the operational group activities, to spread the knowledge of the territory and history, to improve partnership and civic responsibility, to provide support for the development of innovative programs to improve cultural heritage.

Comparison between the different interpretations of Pinocchio and European fairy tales through a European Pinocchio Path rich in surprises and activities for children and citizens over 50.

The project will operate in a context of intergenerational dialogue.

The project aims to increase self-confidence and well-being; to increase awareness of similarities and differences among different culture; to improve cooperation and communication among partners countries and organizations in the field of activation of 50+ with a special focus to the social inclusion.

Each partner contributes with more than a lecture and discussion to introduce the similarity compared to the story of Pinocchio and the stories of their countries; trying to understand what is the perception of the people about the real knowledge of the author and historical places of the wooden puppet.

The two-year project is being implemented through a European itinerary, dedicated to Pinocchio, with the creation and organization of high quality workshops, international exhibitions, conferences, seminars and special events, where the partners, working systematically together, learn to know and share values and visions of the European Union.

This will be achieved through the study of house histories, a rich source of learning covering many subjects and interests Moreover, through the holistic approach of recording geometry, materials, environment, building techniques and a range of oral, video and written histories, the project will enable learners to record 14 house histories and broadcast them to a wider audience using a website and print/DVD media.

The project team has the skill base to competently identify "Why", "What" and "How" data needs to be recorded to create a useful resource. Contact with professionals (architects, historians, etc.) and benchmarking with professional house records will add value to the project in creating a resource for comparing vernacular architecture from across Europe.

Work Packages covering foundation research, recording template, technical glossary and recording techniques will provide the professional rigour to engage house history professionals to take part in the learning process.

Where possible, open source or free resources will be used to complete the house recording to ensure economic inclusion of the widest range of learners.

The learning resources generated during the project will be based around the framework developed by the "Doing2Learn" project and will be available in all partner languages via the web. All flyers, videos and other contents made during the learning process will be available both online and on DVD at the end of the project.

AT,DE,UK,TR Lead Partner: AT Europ. Network f. Transfer& Exploitation of EU Project Results Welsh Partner: Grŵp Llandrillo Menai (GLLM) Description: Tourism is one of Europe’s largest economic sectors providing approx. 27 million jobs and growing by another 100,000 new jobs per year. Especially for less developed areas, tourism seems to be the only hope for economic development.

However, at the same time Europe’s tourism is a sensitive and problematic sector facing severe challenges such as: • quickly changing demands and needs of the markets causing quickly changing job profiles • increasing competition from growing tourism markets all over the world • suffering from direct negative impact by the economic crisis • rapid changes of ethical requirements demanding environmental protection and cultural heritage approaches by so called “sustainable tourism”; nevertheless, this concept is too little developed and known in Europe • additionally, (sustainable) tourism is suffering from a shortage of professional staff, with prospects moving from bad to worse • although continuous professional development would be crucial in the touristic economic sector, neither employers nor employees are usually keen to participate in VET activities

One approach for overcoming this situation could be the utilization of already existing knowhow, expertise and training programmes developed by the EC. The ADAM database lists more than 200 such projects, and another 400 can be found at EVE, EST and E.N.T.E.R. However, most of these projects are too unknown and they are mostly not connected with each other.

Therefore, PESTO will: • screen all tourism projects in the ADAM database plus other databases provided they have a strong VET and labour market approach • select 20 best practice projects (at least 75% must come from LdV) • present these projects in a 2 days thematic dissemination conference in Graz (AT) • publish a magazine and a video clip promoting the selected projects throughout Europe • Give all(!) screened projects the possibility to present and link with each other on our project website

EU-HOU is a wide Consortium involving 11 European countries. EU-HOU was born in 2004 with a MINERVA granted project, and has been honoured with the silver award of the European Commission at the occasion of the conference "Innovation and Creativity in the Lifelong Learning Programme: Create, Innovate and Cooperate" held in Prague, 6-7 May 2009, in the framework of the EU Czech Presidency.

In 2012, the worldwide radio telescope ALMA will start operations. Radio astronomy is entering a new golden age and will unveil the Universe as never before, a fantastic opportunity for widening formal and informal educational training and public involvement, in schools and through science centres and museums, for making a science impact on young people. This project will develop the first European network of radio telescopes for education, enabling schools to explore the Milky Way through Internet, and IBSE pedagogical resources to be used in the classrooms. Outreach and dissemination will rely on 10000 CD rom distributed in European schools and circulating posters exhibitions, a multilingual website to freely disseminate pedagogical materials, plus a forum allowing teachers to share knowledge and experiences. EU-HOU contributes significantly to raising the attractiveness of science education and to the development/modernisation of EU schools. Our project will have a very positive impact on the way students interpret school and the whole process of learning.

It aims at rising the awareness of the youth and citizens of the communities of cleaner environment and healthier life. The project is also promoting intercultural learning among young people. Youth exchange will be held at Dvor near Žužemberk in Slovenia and will last eight days. The participants from Latvia, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Sweden and UK EU member countries will within youth exchange contribute directly to the others by passing on their experiences from their own cultures and local environment about the main ecological problems in their communities and how they are dealing with it. By sharing our knowledge about ecological problems on local, national or international level and by suggesting how we can directly improve current situation, we cannot solve serious ecological problems by ourselves, but with the Cleaning action we can contribute and affect to the awareness of community. With a help of press and media in general we will try to raise the awareness of the gravitiy of the ecological problems and ecological state on local, maybe even on national and European level.

2014-2020: Erasmus Plus

All projects below include at least one of the words heritage, archaeology or museums in their description. These projects are included in the lists in the main part of the report.

Key Action 1: Learning Mobility of Individuals

Adult education staff mobility

2014-1-DE02-KA104-000729 2014 Earth mobile 62,484.00 DE,SK,PL,EE,FI,CZ,FR,CY,UK Lead Partner: DE Verein zur Förderung angemessener Lebensweisen Wales Partner(s): Strawbuild Description: FAL e.V., founded in 1990 as an organisation to promote regional development in a sparsely populated and deprived rural area has since than developed to an attractive site for education in sustainable development. FAL e.V. with the departments Wangeliner Garten, Clay Museum Gnevsdorf and European School of Earth Building is now attracting visitors from all over Europe. The Wangeliner Garden, the biggest herb garden in Mecklenburg, displays more than 900 plant species, outstanding innovative sustainable buildings, the loadbearing strawbale vaults, the garden information centre made of rammed earth. FAL e.V. is already offering courses to learners across Europe in natural building techniques and wants to expand the visitors circle educating a wider audience to addressing a wider is currently planning to improve and to enlargen its educational programme for sustainable building, ecological healthy housing and gardening. Within previous LLL -Projects the European School of Earth Building has been collaborating with partners across Europe. The project Earth mobile new opens a unique opportunity for FAL's staff also from other departments to learn by job shadowing, teaching alignments and participation in structured courses abroad, visiting partner in nine EU-countries.

Educators, facilitators, management and administrative staff will benefit from this project improving their skills and competences needed for an innovative education for sustainability. Areas will be competences like educational skills, but also management and administration, language and intercultural competences.

The 12 partners to be visited are mostly well known from previous LLL learning projects, 3 will be newly contacted. Hosting partners are committed to sustainable development and offer education for a sustainable future. They are experts in their field inspiring,, enabling and informing adult learners how to create an ecological garden and a sustainable home which is healthy and energy saving. The partners to be newly contacted will be museums for vernacular architecture, based in a rural area to learn about museum education, associations concerned with ecological gardening and institutions offering appropriate English language courses.

Participants will be encouraged  to improve their language skills, using English in teaching and facilitating courses,  to adopt new museum educational approaches  to learn and adopt innovative approaches in environmental education ( building with natural material, gardening)  to learn management and administrative skills and competences in running a successful environmental educational centre  to get familiar with the European tools ECVET and EQF,  to learn assessment skills and to asses ECVET learning outcomes.

Learning outcomes to be gained at the mobilities will be defined before and agreed by all three parties involved, participant, sending organisation and host.

Over a period of two years alltogether 33 participants will learn new ways of thinking, will gain more flexibility and a new intercultural awareness. This will result in a wave of innovation in FAL e.v.'s educational work, create new course programmes, improve existing ones and apply innovative educational methodologies.

Paired with competences gained in management and administration the project Earth mobile will help to run a successfull centre in adult education. A centre, which is not only economically successful, but provides an edcuation impowering people in ecologically sound building and gardening techniques.

The project will result in a deepened communication and collaboration within the partnership. Partners are invited to send vice versa educators to participate in courses and in jobshadowing and this way European exchange will be deepened. Existing best practise examples can be diesseminated within the partnership.

2016-1-SE01-KA104-021991 2016 Lifelong Learning at Open Air Museums: Improving Competences of Adult Learning Facilitators

EU Funding 2007-2016 – Heritage & the Historic Environment in Wales – undertaken by EUCLID – July 2017

53,654.00 SE,NO,UK Lead Partner: SE The Nordic centre of Heritage Learning and Creativity Wales Partner(s): Weald & Downland Open Air Museum National Museum Wales Description: Although the role of adult learning is increasingly recognised in the Member States’ National Reform Programmes, in the context of the Lisbon agenda, there has been no common framework regarding the content, competences and processes for continuous training of adult learning staff. This is mainly due to the diversity of the adult learning sector and the diversity of the professional pathways to becoming an adult learning professional. The need for the safeguarding and improvement of the professional quality of Learning Facilitators in Adult and Continuing Education (ACE) is ongoing as the demands of the society change rapidly along with its demographics. Adult learning staff have a key role in facilitating lifelong learning experiences and thus, their professional development is one of the vital measures to improve quality of adult learni ng. As competences are context bound, it is therefore necessary to take the context in which professionals are working into account.The Lifelong learning at Open Air Museums: Improving Competences of Adult Learning Facilitators at European Open Air Museums (LOAM) project addresses adult learning and competences development for museum personnel at four Open Air museums in Sweden. It unfolds in a systematic attempt to explore how museums can become better adult learning providers and facilitators, and how can we ensure high quality provision? How to address better the diverse range of adults we receive nowadays? How to become and remain relevant to these adults?In collaboration with three receiving organisations in the UK and Norway, LOAM will give the opportunity to 24 participants from Sweden to meet staff who are involved in similar activities but in a different context. Through the collaboration and exchange of practices, knowledge and skills among the partners, LOAM aims at improving the competences of adult learning facilitators at six open air museums in three European countries. Each partner is carefully selected on the basis of the competences and services that they have developed through the years. All four Swedish museums are members of the Swedish Association of Open Air museums, and have longstanding commitment and collaboration with each other. Each organisation has specific competences that will benefit the work carried out by the rest of the partner organisations. The aim of the project is to initiate a process of continuous professional development for museum staff by joining up eight partners in three countries that contribute to lifelong and informal learning. The project will provide opportunities to share skills, approaches and expertise between these adult learning providers and thus, cement a truly joined-up lifelong learning movement. The key aim of the project is for staff members from all participating museums to improve competences on how to reach audiences based on the specific competences of the staff in for example crafts or farming.Colleagues from all partners together will hone their competences and develop their skills and knowledge. The insight and lessons learned will inform best practice guidelines for reaching and facilitating adult audiences. There could be a final course in Norway for two days during which the participants from Sweden will be instructed by NCK into using the Generic Learning Outcomes (GLOs) to assess their learning outcomes. The Generic Learning Outcomes are underpinned by a broad definition of learning which identifies benefits that people gain from interacting with arts and cultural organisations.The project develops within two years and includes both job shadowing, and a structured course in Trondheim, Norway. During these 24 months, there will be two major mobilities at three different organisations in two countries. The partners (both sending and receiving) will identify the key areas of expertise and the members of staff responsible for carrying these out. The line manager together with the leader of the project will decide which employees will be selected after inviting them to express interest in mobilities. The selections will be in line with the area of expertise of the receiving organisations. Negotiations and practical arrangements will be finalised at least four months in advance of a proposed activity. All participants will compile a written report before, during and after their participation. It would be essential that participants learn together and that for example the Swedish participants offer to disseminate the results to colleagues from other open air museums in Sweden. By doing so, the project hopes to create a new powerful alliance that builds on each organisation’s resources, competences and skills, and thus, encourage innovative and sustainable partnerships among the partners.

2015-1-UK01-KA104-013343 2015 Sharing and Learning 21,375.00 UK,SE Lead Partner: UK National Museum Wales Description: National Museum Wales consists of National Museum Cardiff, St Fagans National History Museum, the National Slate Museum, the National Wool museum, the National Roman Legion Museum, Big Pit National Coal Museum, the National Waterfront Museum and the National Collections Centre. These 8 are across wales and the collections cover earth and natural sciences, fine and applied art and the archaeology, industrial and social history of Wales. Our aim is to be a world class museum of learning. We have over 1.5 million visitors a year with 435,000 learners.

St Fagans National History Museum combines on one site functions which are generally delivered by separate institutions: the cultural learning experiences of a heritage site, an open-air museum of translocated historic buildings, gallery exhibitions, as well as the national archive of Welsh oral testimony. Over the next decade, the aim is to make St Fagans the most important centre for the enjoyment, understanding and study of the lives of peoples of Wales, from prehistory to the present day. The fundamental aim is to become a participatory museum which will allow us to get better the more people get involved.

St Fagans has established a partnership with Jamtli Foundation in Sweden, which similarly to St Fagans, is an open air museum with historic buildings and exhibitions as well as livestock. During the busy summer months Jamtli transform the site into a 'theme park' w here 'actors' animate each building bringing them to life. St Fagans recognise that this process of operating in different modes is one from which we can learn. A Memorandum of Understanding has been drawn up between the two organisations and a programme of job shadowing staff exchanges has been committed to.

Both organisations recognise that traditionally non learning focused roles can in fact provide a rich learning experience to the visitor. For example rather than closing an historic building for cleaning it may be possible to keep the building open so the visitor can observe the cleaning process. The

EU Funding 2007-2016 – Heritage & the Historic Environment in Wales – undertaken by EUCLID – July 2017

105 member of staff can engage with the visitor explaining the task which they are undertaking. This is a learning experience which may be of interest and enriching to the visitor, but which at present is not available. Through the process of considering what staff roles may be able to interact with the public, to share their experiences in a coherent learning focused way, it is imperative to consider the skills that the staff member may have. For example the cleaner, whilst confident in their abilities in the duties, may feel less confident relaying the importance of the task to the general public.

This process of understanding that all members of staff are able to engage with the visitor and increase their learning and awareness has lead to the Sharing and Learning project. Both organisations recognise that some staff will need to be upskilled to have the confidence to share their work duties and their importance with the visitors. The establishment of a job shadowing exchange project will boost the confidence of participants and enthuse them to consider how they can incorporate learning elements into various aspects of the work. This confidence and enthusiasm will cascade through the organisation as they consider potential development opportunities to provide excellent learner engagements.

St Fagans National History Museum and Jamtli Foundation are seeking funding for the Sharing and Learning project which will allow 15 staff members from Wales to visit Sweden, during 4 visits, over the course of 2 years. The project will allow staff to experience how a similar museum within Europe operates, giving them the opportunity to consider how to incorporate learning into all elements of the museum's work, and share best practice whilst contemplating the museums role within Europe and wider.

2015-1-SE01-KA104-012003 2015 Sharing and Learning 18,975.00 SE,UK Lead Partner: SE Stiftelsen Jamtli Wales Partner(s): National Museum Wales Description: Jamtli Foundation in Östersund, Sweden, is a museum organisation that focuses on lifelong learning. The main establishment is a museum that is also named Jamtli and has approx. 200 000 visits every year. There is an indoor museum with exhibitions and a big open air museum with old buildings, parks, and animals - for example horses, cows and sheep. In the summer the outdoor museum is transformed into a successful theme park, where the old buildings are animated with actors who roleplay through first person interpretation the actual people who have lived in the houses. The roleplay is Jamtli´s signature method for learning for the school programmes and familiy activities throughout the year. Jamtli also runs historical farming, has a large collection of historical items, arts and photographs. Jamtli Foundation also provides the services of building curators and archaeologists and is the general owner of three joint-stock companies based on cultural heritage in other parts of the Region Jämtland Härjedalen. The Foundation is also general owner of NCK, The Nordic Centre for Heritage Learning and Creativity, their remit is research on cultural heritage activities across Europe.

For about a decade, there has been contacts between Region Jämtland Härjedalen and Welsh Government and also between the museum organisations in the regions. Through this relationship it became apparent that we could learn a lot from each organisation and this led to the idea of a mobility pilot project between the two regions. A Memorandum of Understanding was signed and National Museum Wales and Jamtli Foundation agreed to send staff on job shadowing and exchanges for five years. With this project, Sharing and Learning, we are applying for funding support for the first two years of staff exchanges. Our focus is on increasing the number of learning experiences and opportunities within our two museums.

In both museum organisations, there are occupational groups that traditionally don´t work with learning. It´s groups like receptionists, janitors and household technicians, people who work with the collections, animal keepers, photographers and marketing staff. However these groups do have contact with the visitors, and we would like to make better use of those contacts. Through job shadowing we want to make it possible for Jamtli staff to visit colleagues at National Museum Wales and identify a number of situations where they actually meet and interact with visitors. How can they transform these moments, that may be limited to a tender stroke of a horseneck or a brief question about where the nearest park bench is into a learning situation?

During the project time of 24 months we want to perform 15 mobilities at four different occasions, with the occupational groups mentioned above. We want the line manager closest to the employees, together with the leader of the project, to decide which employees could be most adequate for a staff exchange. We would contact the National Museum Wales at least four months in advance of a proposed visit and they let Jamtli know if they can welcome colleauges at the proposed date. Then the employees make contact with eachother by e-mail or phone, and raise common questions. What kind of opportunities with visitors will be available?

During the visit, the Jamtli staff write a diary and also follow up on the common questions. Together, the staff from Wales and Jämtland discuss how meetings with visitors can be transformed into learning situations. How can the tasks be communicated to different groups of visitors - children, old, disabled, people who speak another language? Can you invite visitors to take part in the work tasks? When the staff returns home, they go through the diaries with their line manager, a learning officer and the project leader. Together they agree upon a few learning activities that can be tested at Jamtli. These test activities will be evaluated within 2-3 months and if the results are good, the activity will become a permanent learning activity and part of our programme. The results of the exchange will also become a part of a report and a presentation given of the project. The presentation is published on Jamtli´s website and is also presented to Region Jämtland Härjedalen and the owners of NCK.

There are several impacts and long term benefits of the project. The most important effect is that learning become a vital part of other museum departments not only of the learning department. The visitor should not be forced to take a guided tour to come across new knowledge - the learning should be found all over the museum, and every employee should be able to feel self secure, proud and happy to share his or her knowledge with others. Another effect of the project is that the pedagogical focus of National Museum Wales and Jamtli Foundation will make the two institutions more well-known, which will lead to more visitors and through that - more learning.

These groups, include small scale community organisations, schools, not-for-profit educational institutes, universities & research centres & local authorities. They are all working to create new social opportunities & to develop appropriate skills, competences & behaviours. The international work is two-way process. Regular visits of groups from across Europe and Turkey has assisted in developing international understanding and practical support in the small rural communities on the English - Welsh Border (the ‘Middle March’) with an increasing number of local groups meeting & sharing the work. Such groups include town councils, heritage agencies, village hall charities, festival organisers, church groups & very informal self managed educational groups. In recent years Pathways has, following request for support, been providing advice & consultancy on skill development to partners. In working with groups that feel marginalised, the learning, between a UK region that is recognised as disadvantaged & similar contexts abroad, has a congruity and a sense for all, of shared purpose. In the past year Pathways has expanded this work & is developing & supporting new initiatives, including international links in China & Summer Schools in the UK.

The Mobility Project Prime Objective: “Sending staff to deliver and learn”. This project creates training delivery opportunities for Pathways staff with partners in LT, CZ, BG, RO. For Pathways these will allow staff, through cooperative processes, to learn and use experiential learning programmes in contexts very different from the UK.

Action: Each partner will receive a short ‘Training Delivery Programme’ (TDP) relevant to their expressed needs. The process provides opportunities for Pathways to prepare, deliver, monitor & evaluate its work. The methodologies to be used will be creative, experiential and informal based on learning methodologies developed & used by Pathways in UK contexts & developed appropriately for the specific contexts of the 4 partner agencies.

There are two further important aspects to the chosen 4 partner approach: 1. The considerable type and quality difference between the partners - each will require its own carefully prepared training approach. There are university research centres (LT), small not-for-profit educational agencies (BG), Local authority educational institutions (RO) and small rural community development groups (CZ) 2. The sequential nature of the project: delivering training that will use the learning of one in developing the next (4 separate TDPs).

Together these contrasting situations, each representing the breadth of work available to Pathways & with very specific individual requirements, provide Pathways with learning opportunities that will enhance the value of the whole project.

Results and impact envisaged: This project will have provided opportunities for Pathways to develop competences & introduce change by the structured training delivery to partners whose background and experience is a reflection of the varied contexts with which Pathways works.

The project will have:

Improved management staff skills: - communication & consultative decision making processes - Strategies for course development & marketing

Developed Teaching Staff competences: - informal & creative teaching & evaluation capabilities - Adaptivity to differing cultural & learning contexts

Enhanced the organisation: - New curricula relevant to Pathways’ existing and future potential - Improved monitoring - Effective marketing using IT and web systems

At the conclusion, not only will Pathways, staff, management & organisationally have improved competence and skills & be more suited to the present expanding work and opportunities, but there will be partners whose skills and competences will have been developed.

For Pathways longer term benefits envisaged include - enhanced relationships locally and with EU partners

VET learner and staff mobility

2014-1-RO01-KA102-001406 2014 Patrimoniul gastronomic european 78,731.93 RO,UK Lead Partner: RO Wales Partner(s): Colegiul Economic M. Kogalniceanu Grwp Llandrillo Menai Description: The mobility project is organized by "Mihail Kogalniceanu" Economic College in Focsani, Romania, in partnership with Llandrillo- Menai College in Rhos-on-Sea, Wales. The "European gastronomic heritage" project’s target group is represented by 30 students in the field of Travel and Food service, class X, undergoing practical training modules "Assortment of dishes and drinks" and "Serving preparations and beverages" in lab school and other local operators. Gastronomy is one of the most important cultural events of human being and the dietary habits of the peoples of Europe are a rich socio-cultural heritage that we have the obligation to transmit from generation to generation. Catering-hostelling sector enjoys a more favorable labor market insertion of young people, but they have no professional training adapted to the European market requirements. The project aims to develop the skills for the jobs of cook and waiter.

The project’s objectives are: - supporting the students while acquiring the competencies (knowledge, skills and attitudes) for their personal development and employment in the European labor market; - ensuring better recognition of skills acquired by the participants during the internship training.

The project proposes two flows, one in May 2015 and the other in November 2015. The training sessions will be held in the Restaurant ORME VIEW, Llandrillo-Menai College. The two organizations have adapted the content and the length of the internship to the particular profile of the participants. The students will face real work opportunity in order to acquire techniques, practices and knowledge about the culture and style of British gourmet food. The 60 hours / flow (6 hours / day for 10 days), will allow the completion of the objectives. The four days of cultural activities will help the students to observe the cultural, geographical and social Wales particularities. The daily working program, supervised by tutors from Llandrillo-Menai College and by the attendants from our school will be held in the Restaurant ORME VIEW. The program was negotiated with the hosting organization and specified in the Letter of Intent and includes practical activities in catering (kitchen and lounge serving).

In the kitchen: - establishing mixed working teams, Romanian-Welsh; - workplace organization; - primary processing of raw materials; - preparing specific British meals, using raw materials from the region; - plate mounting and decoration; - cleaning the work place.

In the lounge restaurant: - establish mixed working teams, Romanian-Welsh; - preparing the serving saloon; - arranging the tables with greeting mise-en-place; - arranging the tables for reservation; - serving the meals by different serving systems; - associating the beverages with the food and beverage preparations; - ridding the tables.

These activities will be detailed in the participants' daily activities program, agreed by both parties.

For the implementation of the project we followed the logical sequence of steps, regarding the principle of equality of opportunity: * Setting up the project management and allocation of tasks * Information to participants * Selection of participants * Organization of mobility (external transport, accommodation, health insurance and cultural pedagogical training, the conclusion of contracts between participants and sending organization, enrolling participants in the database Mobility Tool) * Conducting internships * Monitoring during internship * Evaluation * Reporting * Dissemination of results

Expected results: - the internship will help young people develop the capacity to adapt to new situations work, jobs and different customs;

EU Funding 2007-2016 – Heritage & the Historic Environment in Wales – undertaken by EUCLID – July 2017

108

- the students will be more confident in themselves and will be eager for performance and self-improvement; - the participants will be able to meet the growing challenges for cook and waiter jobs in Europe.

Impact: - increasing the interest of the students to participate in internships in the EU countries; - recognition from Vrancea local businesses, of the skills, abilities and knowledge acquired by the participants during the Eur opean stage; - awareness from the students of the need to acquire European skills in order to develop an European career in gastronomy.

Benefits of the project are identified as follows: - Participants: gaining European experience, strengthen their spirit of teamwork. - School: local and national prestige and European opening. - Local community: skilled labor force at European standards.

Intercultural encounters, internships during European projects enable young people to understand the updated diversity of European society to integrate more easily into the labor market.

Baruffi" Wales Partner(s): Conlan School Limited Description: The FOREST4LIFE project is promoted by the Vocational Secondary School ‘Services sector for agriculture, rural development and forestry’, of Ormea (Cuneo), on behalf of the other three partner Schools that form the Italian Schools of Forestry Board, situated in as many Alps and Appennine Mountains areas. These four Secondary Schools train technicians with a professional competence in the forest sector, skilled in monitoring, preserving and managing the forest and agricultural resources of the mountain region.

The School of forestry of Ormea and the other 3 partner Schools are becoming more and more important as a point of reference for the forestry know-how and its related activities and competencies. The school course is meant to provide knowledge and skills with the purpose of training technicians who will enter the world of work bound to their own territory, but with openness to Europe. With this proposal the four Schools have granted the requests coming from the forest sector, various regional and national partners and the world of work. The data about the hydrogeological instability in Italy are alarming; therefore it is urgent to train experts able to prevent environmental disasters due to the soil fragility. The project offers traineeship to 80 students from the 4 Schools, who will join in it at the end of the fourth school year, before attending the last course and taking their secondary school diploma. The project aim is to give the participants the opportunity to improve their ability and take back new ideas and experiences, acquiring a modern and analytic approach to face the problems related with this sector. To point out topics such as sustainable farming practices, renewable resources, forest certification and forest association means to invest in a basic sector for the safeguard of the country and the development of the Green Economy as a chance of economic growth.The main idea is that only the active management of the wood allows the development of its different functions (related to the environment, the landscape, the biodiversity preservation) and, as a consequence, the production of environmental goods and services to support the active permanence, the generation turnover, the social inclusion, the reduction of poverty and the economic development in rural areas. Moreover, the trainees will improve effectively their language skills and thanks to this experience they will be allowed to get in touch with the culture and civilization of the host countries, encouraging cultural exchanges. The project provides 4 weeks traineeship, starting from May 2015, in companies and boards dealing with the field of forestry and a range of concerns business including processing and services. The traineeships will take place in the UK, Czech Republic, Lithuania and Spain. These countries are carefully protecting their heritage of forests and are sensitive to this topic, giving their contribution in the current debate on the next EU common policy. The CSF for the EU Funds for the period 2014-2020 states as its first objective to promote a knowledge exchange and innovation in farming, forestry and rural areas and a vocational training programme in farming and forest sectors. At the end of the mobility experience, integrated in the school teaching programme, trainees’ outcomes will be assessed both with the Europass Mobility document and with credits and school acknowledgement according to the ECVET procedures.

109 development based on the quality of the guest welcoming and on a conscious and sustainable use of the local resources.The project will benefit 90 students of the 4th year (among 5 years of study) whose courses of study are related to the sectors of Tourism and Hospitality, Cookery, Administration and Marketing.The project plans the realization of work experiences in touristic destinations in the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Austria, Republic of Ireland, Lithuania, in Summer 2017. The mobility will last 5 weeks, the first one being of language preparation and the other 4 of full-time work placement in companies correspondent to the professional profiles. The activities abroad will be in collaboration with formative agencies and companies which are experienced in carrying out dual training system, and with whom already exist a solid partnership relation.The territories involved in the Project (Regione Marche’s hinterland, Emilia Romagna and Marche’s Adriatic Riviera, and “Sette Comuni” Upland in Veneto Region) are dedicated to tourism and rich in their Natural, Cultural and Historical heritage.Despite this heritage richness and the (weak) economic upturn of 2015, there are some signals indicating the risk that the offer standardization towards the profit is not generating customer loyalty; in fact, the guest could be more easily gained and kept through an accurate welcoming as refer the human relationships, in an environment perceived as beloved, looked after, and protected in the impact of its structures and its economic activities on the territory.The ‘quality of welcoming’ involves the ability to: - understand the guest needs and expectations, which are often culturally influenced, - be able to apply 2.0 marketing strategies adequate to compete on the international market- offer an high quality and personalized level of the service.To the youth who will enter this labour market scenario are required competencies that an intense experience such as living and carrying out an internship abroad can develop quicker and more deeply. Thanks to the project, the participants will be able to integrate their school education and training, and in the company, to apply their knowledge and technical-operational abilities in order to transform them into competencies.Together with the professional results, the mobility will develop the meta-competence of . The project, through the mobility, intends to provide the participants with outcomes in their ability of intercultural comprehension, flexibility, personal initiative, ability to relate to others in a foreign language.The development of these skills can be useful the participants to become a precious resource for the wellness and the growth (both in the Economy and in the image) of the territories in which they live, and encourage their employability.The internship abroad is recognized in the school education and training, since it is integrated in the compulsory school-work Alternance scheme. The learning outcomes will be validated and recognized by applying ECVET procedures based on the MoU and LA, and by the following documents: Europass Mobility, Certificate of Competencies, European Hospitality Skills Passport, which will enrich the participants portfolio for the labour market entry.

Cardiff City Football Club Limited Description: The project represents a further stage in the development of our Association staff's skills. In the periods of 2013-2014, 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 the project promoter implemented projects within the frameworks of Leonardo da Vinci and Erasmus + programmes which aimed to provide support for 61 football coaches from Poland. There is an approving and even enthusiastic feedback regarding the projects from participants and from the whole football environment, clubs, Lower Silesian Football Association, as well as the Polish Football Association. Our projects are also very much appreciated by the Foundation for the Development of the Education System. Project maintainers from the Foundation believe that we organize and run our projects in an exemplary way and what we are planning in our projects: objectives, rules, recruitment system, preparation for the participation in internships, job shadowing process, accommodation, catering, all this is done in 100%. Monitoring visit paid by the Foundation, regarding the project "Coach skills tailored for SL Benfica", ran excellently.The success of the two previous projects is a driving force for the next project which will enhance the knowledge and skills of our staff to the next level. The previous two projects gave us a very broad spectrum of knowledge about football training in Portugal (it was a knowledge including many areas, such as organization, medicine, psychology, scouting, working with goalkeepers, collaboration with school, organization of the whole club, including the operation of TV clubs, club museum, etc.). In the present project we would like to focus on details aspects and get to know them in depth, going into real details:That is where begins the process of searching and training those who will be recruited in future by the Academy of SLB. We would like to implement this model in Poland in the following years (this is due to our European Development Strategy) and this is why it is so important to know in details how it works in this clubs.In view of the above, a priority in our staff education for the season of 2016/2017 is the realization of activities within the framework of the job shadowing according to the best European standards as one of statutory tasks, as well as obtaining required funds.The target group includes 30 people [2 women and 28 men], i.e. a staff responsible for education and vocational training in the Association Center for Discovering of Young Talents 2012 which, on its own initiative, wants to expand its professional competences through participation in vocational training, i.e. foreign internships such as job shadowing, learning about individual championship methods as well as organizational and management skills.In accordance with the Erasmus+, the main objective of this project is to raise the level of competences of 30 employees responsible for vocational education and training in our organization, by participating in foreign observation activities in Portugal or Wales or Croatia.Specific objectives:- learning/developing effective [master] coaching methods by attending internships such as job shadowing- learning effective [master] methods of functioning in sports environment in terms of managerial skills- developing international dialogue between non-governmental organization working for the development of football in the region, promoting health and physical education with a large foreign sports club and coaches through the organization of pioneering methods of development coaching competence in the region- developing linguistic competence in English - increasing knowledge about the habits in the country of the Host Institution [cultural preparation].The implementation of the project will only have a positive impact on the current market of sports personnel at local, regional and national levels, increasing the prestige of the young and dynamical organization COMT2012 established in the rural areas, will increase the number of highly skilled coaches on the domestic market and will enable the creation of stronger relationships between clubs and sports organizations [project participants are part of our Association but they also work in sports clubs, secondary schools and sports schools which focus on football]. At international level the project will bring about further development of cooperation between organizations having different prestige, different mentalities and traditions - mutual exchange of information [increase of partner organizations' cultural, geographical and social awareness]. This will contribute also to visit three foreign coaches in Poland and their direct work with the Polish players and coaches.

The medieval fortress of Montaigu-le-Blin, classified as Historical Monuments, is located in a territory rich with built heritage, gathering numerous artisans and craftsmen still in activity. This projects aims at gathering youngsters from various geographical and social backgrounds in order to make them discover some of this heritage-related jobs, understand the trainings and job opportunities, but alos t exchange about their respective cultures.

After visiting the fortress of Montaigu and imagining how it was built, the participants will visit several carftsmen and several heritage sites of the territory. They will then create a booklet to present the jobs they would have discovered.

This booklet will introduce jobs related to construction, restauration and valorisation of built heritage. It will be written in several languages and edited by the youngsters. It will then be spread on the territory, towards the Youth structures of Montaigu-le-Blin and surroundings, and in every country involved in the project.

The spreading of the booklet will help sensitize local youngsters, in addition to the participants of the project, to te existence of these heriage- related jobs. The project also aims at an impact on the local territory. Bringing more visibility for the the Erasmus + programme an youth exchanges on a rural territory, and by organising this intercultural meeting in the small dynamic villageof Montaigu-le-Blin, we expect to encourage the implementation of more mobility projects for the regional youngsters.

All this is part of a long term project of territory development with the community of communes Varennes-Forterre, on the issues of Youth and Employment. We expect the implementation of complementary actions in a pluri-annual agreement, towards youth and youth workers on the territory.

Description: SEEDS organises international volunteer workcamps with local communities, other associations and individuals all around Iceland. Jointly we develop projects aimed at fulfilling an identified need or to help in the development of particular actions. Projects are designed to be mutually beneficial to all involved: the individual volunteers, the local hosting communities and Iceland as a whole!

In this project we will be involving 8 participants from European program countries with a keen motivation for working with international groups.

The EVS project will be divided in 4 parts, project training & language orientation (stage 1), preparation for the work in the field (2), field work (3) and evaluation & planning for next season (4).

Volunteers will be in Reykjavík during stage 1 and 4; stages 2 and 3 will take place in different locations around Iceland. In this sense, volunteers will have the unique opportunity to experience Iceland in the capital but also to work and develop projects in different places all around the country.

The projects are often related to nature conservation, some examples include: removing invasive growth, building of walking paths or hiking trails, cleaning the coastline, reforestation and erosion control, construction or renovation of a building, heritage site or artwork. There are also some cultural, agricultural and study projects, as well as others which are based on identified needs of the local communities or associations. Groups’ sizes vary between 5 and 25 international participants.

There will be a division of the EVS volunteers in International Workcamp’s Leaders and Environmental messengers:

The volunteers selected for the International Workcamp’s Leaders project will be mainly in charge of leading the international workcamps at SEEDS, acting as a link between the Icelandic hosts and the International short term volunteers.

The Environmental messengers role is to additionally raise awareness about environmental issues both within Icelanders, being hosts of SEEDS workcamps, and among the International volunteers taking part in the projects. They will encourage the actors in those projects to undertake simple but easy-to-implement actions which will affect the way we use our resources and we deal with the environment and the world we live in. Environmental messengers will get the opportunity to organise several environmental work camps during their stay. They will be responsible as a group for organising activities, events and work that raise awareness in Iceland and amongst the volunteers about relevant environmental topics (e.g. recycling, waste management, water or air pollution, soil erosion, reforestation, fish stocks depletion, climate change, healthy living, eco- tourism, etc.).

With this project we want to support local Icelandic initiatives that would not be possible without the involvement of the volunteers.

On a larger scale this project strongly promotes intercultural understanding and European awareness within the local Icelandic communities and among the hundreds of volunteers participating in the camps.

This project encourages people to challenge their stereotypes of other cultures. It promotes intercultural awareness on an international level, as the participants in our workcamps come from a broad international background.

By promoting tolerance and reflection on our diversity of values, as well as promoting the values and skills for cooperation and earth protection, this project seeks to inspire both the international volunteers and the local Icelandic communities involved.

Results/Impact: We envisage that the exchange will impact on knowledge and best practice shared, to enable young people to progress into Education Employment or Training (NEET) in their home countries, we are especially keen to see if they have gained sustainable employment, and sharing positive case studies with partners for best practice. We will keep in contact and monitor any progress made by our international partners, and strengthen relationships for future work.

2015-1-RO01-KA105-014041 2015 Culture Zoom - Youth Focus 15,568.00 RO,UK,BG Lead Partner: RO Asociatia "Centrul pentru Dezvoltarea Instrumentelor Structurale" Wales Partner(s): UNA Exchange Description: The " Culture Zoom - Youth Focus" started from the need of volunteers to develop personally and professionally by attending a training in Romania. The project will host a number of two volunteers from the UK and two volunteers from Bulgaria, for a period of 6 months (20 June to 20 December) in Bucharest. We chose the city of Bucharest to give young people the opportunity to work in an intercultural environment, to be involved in various activities that promote culture, film, art and non-formal education and work with disadvantaged young people in high schools and in the General Directorate of Social Assistance and Child Protection whose main topic is promoting Romanian culture through art and film, with the help of young people.

The project is implemented by the Centre for the Development of Structural Instruments in partnership with Consilium Development and Training Ltd (UK) and the Association ArtArea (Bulgaria). Together we set the following objectives of the project, focusing on the needs of young participants: 1. During the 10 months of the project, the 4 volunteers will gain knowledge about Romanian culture and language, communication with disadvantaged youth, elements of filming, editing, design and art, elements of non-formal education and motivators. 2. During the 10 months of the project, the 4 volunteers will develop the skills to express themselves through art, film and video editing, to work with young people and motivate them using non-formal methods and teamwork. 3. During the 10 months of the project, the 4 volunteers will develop inclusive attitudes towards young people with fewer opportunities, they will have more confidence in the skills they have, they will develop a greater desire to engage, and their cultural expression will become more empathetic and want to produce a change in the community to which they belong.

To achieve these objectives the project participants will establish a number of different activities that will take place in Bucharest during the 6- month period of volunteering (June 20 to December 20). Among these activities we want to include visits to the high schools Nichita Stănescu and Dimitrie Leonita, where volunteers will teach young people to express themselves through art and film, to describe the Romanian culture. They will also work weekly with young people in the DGASPC sector 3 social apartments, by encouraging them to use art as a means of expressing the wishes and opinions about Romanian culture. To facilitate the process of working with young people, the 4 volunteers will participate in a series of trainings on non-formal education methods, film and art, they will study these issues in Metropolitan Library and Central Bucharest Library and discuss with experts. The volunteers along with the young people will enjoy the support of the Village Museum and the Romanian Peasant Museum to see and understand as much of Romanian culture as they can.

The impact of the project will be substantial in the four young volunteers and youth involved in the project. We will provide mentorship sessions and encourage open discussion and reflection methods to ensure that they understand the whole process of learning they are experimenting. Movies and brochures produced by young volunteers will also impact the community in Bucharest, Britain and Bulgaria, prepared with methods of dissemination. Together with partners we will implement visits to other schools and NGOs where we will present materials produced in the project. We will also organize seminars to disseminate the results, we will be promoting the movies and brochures online and we will create a blog and a Facebook page where we will offer young people the opportunity to talk about the project.

2016 DISH-Crimination 11,867.00 BE,UK Lead Partner: BE Thebe Wales Partner(s): Global Love Youth Trust Description: The project is aimed at young people aged 14 -17 years old, who want to take part and be engaged in a project that gives them greater insight into what other cultures and countries are like. This is something many of these young people would not usually be able to participate in. The project is a cooking and cultural diversity project which takes the concept from a previous successful project we developed last year called "rights to cook". The development from that youth exchange was that young people wanted to learn more about discrimination and it's impact on the world and themselves on the basis of what they see as discrimination and the misconceptions of what is and what isn't discrimination. The cooking was also a great way to learn about each country and was enjoyed by everyone who took part, who all now have cook books that were created by themselves and a designer. One final element that we decided to add to the project was to add sporting activities that are used within each country and develop small games that will help the groups build teamwork, whilst keeping fit and learning new games. This element will include obstacles that are not usually part of the games like tying legs together, needing to pass a ball at least twice before scoring and blindfolds. This will help develop various skills and knowledge that will be linked into other elements of the exchange. Each country shall be hosting cultural evenings where they cook and explain about the country they reside in. There will also be a large focus on discrimination and to ensure we provide the correct information we will be using workshops based on theoretical values of several writers as well as using workshops from the Compass to ensure the quality of the workshops, these will be included with other games and activities that will help encourage young people to learn more about human rights and discrimination and the equality it gives.There will be trips that apply to these issues and agenda’s such as a trip to Saint Fagans Museum to look at the history in the area and show how how human rights and development of non discriminatory practices have develop over the years, this will potentially help to show that the young people today have a lot more than they would have had in the past. Throughout the Week their will be design workshops to create a cookbook that the young people will be able to use. This will have a number of basic popular recipes from the countries that are participating and will be made by the young people so they can share the recipes when they are back home. The design of the cookbook and recipes that go in it will be added to the previous cookbook that has been created into a type of fact file for international recipes which will be sent to the previous participants and we will also include the previous recipes so that each country involved will go home with over 30 recipes from 10 countries We will also be holding a final event that all other local young people, press and dignitaries will be able to see what has been done throughout the week and to show the positive work young people have been taking part in. At this event we will also be handing out the youth pass and have small competitions that the young people will take part in and run that will develop the reach of the project and show other young people what has been achieved within the exchange project.

Key Action 2: Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices

Strategic Partnerships addressing more than one field

2014-1-UK01-KA200-000057 2014 Guidelines and Training Programme for Corporate Social Responsibility in Tourism Developed by VET and HE Providers for Micro and Small Sized Enterprises 280,284.55 UK,FR,RO,BE,DE,LV Lead Partner: UK Grwp Llandrillo Menai Description: Tourism is the third largest economic activity in the EU and the sector continues to grow. Although tourism has a broadly positive impact on economic growth and employment, it is also a resource-intensive industry that leaves a large footprint on the environment and it can also threaten cultural heritage and local food production.

Therefore, sustainable tourism and CSR in the tourism industry are intensively promoted by political decision makers as well as by an increasing number of customers and guests. In this context, sustainability and CSR have become standard elements of all good quality training at the VET and HE level within the last 10 years. Also large tourism chains and global operating service provides usually apply CSR standards.

However, one target group has had so far very little contact with the concepts, philosophy, methods and instruments of sustainability and CSR in tourism: micro and small to medium enterprises. Their managers usually have no access to information about CSR and, in any case, CSR concepts have to date not been tailor-made for micro and small enterprises. The trouble is that 95% of companies in the tourism sector employ fewer than 10 people. This brings us to the situation that the vast majority of tourism providers in Europe have not even heard of CSR let alone applied it.

In order to overcome this situation, the project group has developed three main intellectual outputs:

A) Implementation of a European survey to obtain a clear picture of the extent to which CSR is known in the tourism industry, especially within micro and small sized enterprises. The survey will be implemented all over Europe and will investigate issues such as general knowledge about CSR standards, the prestige of CSR with tourism managers, fields of interest, demand and needs. Results and outcomes of the survey will be evaluated, analysed and published in a survey report.

EU Funding 2007-2016 – Heritage & the Historic Environment in Wales – undertaken by EUCLID – July 2017

115

B) Based on these outcomes the FairTourism training course will be developed, tailor-made to the needs, interests and demands of the main target group. It will covers about 10 modules, such as CSR’s innovation potential for tourism, culture and heritage tourism, green tourism and fair trade tourism. The training course will be based on the requirements and standards of the ECVET and the EQF, and it will allow accreditation of prior learning experience. The course will be piloted in seven partner countries before the training course handbook will be published in all partner languages.

C) Finally, we will publish the FairTourism policy paper, which will summarise experiences and outcomes from the project activities, and provide deductions for Europe’s VET/HE policy, labour market as well as its regional, economic and ecological development. It will also introduce benchmarks to be reached within the next five years at the local, regional, national and European levels and provide a list of requests to political stakeholder and policy makers concerning what will be needed for promoting and fostering successfully CSR within smaller tourism enterprises.

Through our project activities we want to achieve direct and indirect impact both in the short term as well as in the long term.

The European survey will provide, for the first time, an insight into the status quo of CSR knowledge and acceptance within Europe`s smaller enterprises in the tourism industry and it will contain their demands and needs concerning this issue. By this, we will provide a reliable and valid basis for any future decisions and actions taken for improving the situation.

The Fairtourism training course will allow VET and HE providers to offer tailor-made CSR training to managers of micro and small enterprises in the tourism industry. One year after the projects has ended, 50 VET and HE provides should offer this course to approximately 500 managers all over Europe.

The FairTourism policy paper will give all political decision makers clear guidelines and recommendation of what needs to be done next to overcome the lack of CSR standards in Europe’s largest sector of the tourism industry.

All project activities are embedded in a wide range of evaluation and dissemination activities.

The partnership contains eight organisations in total; five of them are VET or HE providers specialised in the fields CSR in tourism as well as in tourism management; one is an association of tourism service providers, one is a service provider for tourism enterprises and one is the largest European network for the dissemination of European project results. They have all the skills, experience, and resources needed for implementing this project successfully. Representing the UK, DE, AT, BE, LT, LV, RO and FR the partnership will ensure an appropriate European dimension as well as a fine split between larger and smaller countries with differently developed tourism industry. They all have strong relations to their local tourism industry and to political decision makers.

Strategic Partnerships for school education

2014-1-DK01-KA201-000645 2014 A Peace of Europe 208,310.00 DK,IE,FR,UK,CY,ES Lead Partner: DK Vestre Skole Wales Partner(s): Ysgol Gyfun Aberaeron Description: In 2012 the European Union was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for its contribution to the advancement of peace, democracy and human rights in Europe. A continent once marked by war, and the centennial remembrance of the Great War, has been transformed to a continent of peace. In this time of peace it is however essential, that we focus on educating future generations of Europeans to strengthen their understanding and tolerance of each other.

"A Peace of Europe" is a cross curricular, developing project, where six countries; Denmark, Wales, France, Cyprus, Spain and Ireland via professional learning communities want to set up a radical, creative learning initiative for students to raise awareness of Peace in our time, to reflect and remember the conflict in Europe and celebrate the success of the Union in making the community a more peaceful and integrated society.

The peace project will develop learners literacy, communication and ICT skills through an authentic and motivating education and at the same time raise the awareness of the lives, cultures and history of our neighbours in Europe and the importance of friendships and peaceful solutions in a globalized world. It is important not to forget about one's own cultural heritage as well as to gain knowledge about other's history and cultural values. By focusing on an ever important topic which has influenced our history, identities and defined our culture both in the past, present and also in the future, we wish to bring our students together in a collaborative unit, where they will learn about themselves, their European friends and at the same time strengthen their academic skills in a coherens of authentic and motivating education. Within the theme of the project, all participating schools wish to raise the literacy, communication and ICT skill levels of all pupils.

During the project period of three years, the theme Peace will be emphazised in four levels:

=>=Peace of mind: individual perspective. Perception of peace within our communities: how to deal with stress and conflict on a daily basis. Collaborative collages and posters will be made.

=>Story of peace: historical perspective: a wider scope of peace through our own country's history and the UE history. Timelines, stop motion films, Nobel prize winners' biographies, treasure hunts.

EU Funding 2007-2016 – Heritage & the Historic Environment in Wales – undertaken by EUCLID – July 2017

116

=>Peace in our time: global perspectives. To help learners realise that the European Union is part of a global issue and that countries within the community are active within the United Nations as well as involved in areas of conflict.

=>Peace forever. Within the European community we will listen to the Young ambassadors of tomorrow on how peace can develop within their own country, Europe and therefore globally, by using the model of the United Nations model.

We will work with various activites during the project period like; diaries, jigsaw cubes-literacy, logo designs, Prezi workshops, peace quotations, Google Hangout sessions, angry boxes, wordle posters, time lines, ICT communication, stop motion films, historical research, children' s rights, design a peace charter and dream boxes-peace in the future. All activities are easy to integrate into the school's curriculums and they all lead on to further detailed learning sessions on all schools in order to gain knowledge and understanding of each other. All activities cover multiple intelligences and lead the students towards the development of skills which are essential for learning autonomy. This project will become a living, developing theme within all schools visualized by a great amount of dissemination strategies on behalf of the creative processes within the project such as; installation arts, a project logo, posters, timelines and musical activities.

There will be ongoing evaluation of the impact of the Partnership at school level by each of the partners. Evidence in the form of children’s class work, plans, school website, schools database on skills, and school notice boards and display boards will be shared at the online partnership meetings each term and the partner meetings. The success and evaluation of the project will be assessed by pupils progress and the teachers will develop their professional skills collaborating with different teaching strategies.

Last but not least, as citizens of the European Union, pupils, teachers, parents and other associated at the schools will find out, through project work, what being a part of a large European family means, and their multicultural understanding will be intensified. Schools will gain prestige and will be an educational institution which introduces its pupils to the European forum. The final results will enable to promote the school on a local stage and an European/world one and the communities of the partner schools will gain a great insight in each other's cultures and develop long lasting connections for a future with friendships in peaceful environments.

Strategic Partnerships for Schools Only

2015-1-UK01-KA219-013372 2015 Raising standards by sharing our Myths and Legends 87,165.00 UK,FI,FR,IS,IE,IT Lead Partner: UK Coryton Primary School Description: The project is aimed at supporting pupils to explore past and present book making and use these to learn about the stories, cultures, and traditions of our own and partner countries. Through staff supporting and sharing pedagogy in the teaching of reading and writing we intend to use best practice so that each partner school will be able to raise the levels of attainment in reading and writing being reached at present.

We want to improve writing levels across the school, and develop a love of reading for all and especially by engaging boys in reading for pleasure. At present our results tend to show that many boys have a reluctance to want to read for pleasure and our statistics show that this is an area in which we need to improve.

We want to encourage a love of reading through storytelling. Traditional folk-tales provide a rich fund of material for pupils of all ages. Through listening to, performing and reading traditional tales, pupils and their teachers will explore culture, heritage and literary tradition of their own and partner countries.

The 6 schools have undertaken projects in the past with combinations of different partners. We will work collaboratively with Celtic partners from Wales, Ireland and Brittany, together with an EEA partner from Iceland, plus a northern European country of Finland and a southern country of Italy. We feel this gives us a wide scope for myths and legends from many different areas of Europe so that cultures and traditions can be explored.

Types of published books will be studied so that pupils can produce their myth or legend in a variety of formats. Pupils will draft scripts and use puppets to perform for their local community. Performances will be recorded to be exchanged. A variety of books will be made for exchange including bound paper books, pop-up books, digital multi-media books, comic characters and interactive books where readers can make choices about the route to follow. By the end of the project each school will have built up a library of materials from all the partner countries.

To support pupils in recording versions of many stories they will hear and read, the teachers from each country will work together to find effective teaching methods. Staff will share good practice, and investigate ways to improve basic literacy skills for the many pupils who find reading a challenge.

The technical skills needed to research and create resources will become part of curriculum lessons. New ICT skills will be taught and links with industry developed to create enterprise weeks for pupils to plan, design, make and sell their collective newspapers, comics and books. Pupils will visit libraries, and newspaper printers to see how books/newspapers are made today. They will understand that early versions of stories were always ‘told’ and passed down from each generation before written books came into being. Looking at how books have evolved over time will allow pupils to make choices regarding digital and e-books of today.

Pupils will:- • make a board game of their myth or legend with suitable instructions for younger pupils to be able to read and participate. These games will be bi-lingual so that pupils’ language learning will also develop.

• see how illustrations can aid enjoyment of books and the impact illustrations can have on the imagination of pupils. • develop a comic character and produce a comic strip for a joint publication as part of an enterprise project. • Produce a collaborative newspaper during the project. • Design a badge and logo to belong the ‘Erasmus+ Book Worm Club’ • celebrate World Book Day, - a day full of reading and writing activities • Perform a myth or legend for younger pupils by using puppets to tell the tale • read and depict, through literacy, drama, art, and music a traditional folk tale from their own culture. This will be performed and recorded for exchange with partners, using a variety of I.T. An accompanying DVD of music and drama will also be produced.

By sharing traditional tales, we want to enrich and extend the pupils’ experiences, so they are able to develop their own stories and foster a love of reading and writing. We will promote their natural instinct to explore and encourage a love of books and inspire them to want to read and write for pleasure.

Studying literature from a number of cultures will help pupils reflect on their own experiences of the world and to better understand others. Pupils will need to listen to and discover stories to learn by heart. They will practise their reading, performing and methods of recording and delivery. Schools will work with a business partner to teach the skills of newspaper production. This will lead to an enterprise project where pupils will be able to sell their joint newspaper, comic and board games to the local communities. The end data will provide schools with evidence of an increase in pupils reading ages and its impact on literacy levels.

2015-1-PT01-KA219-012924 2015 Empower students with entrepreneurial skills 279,250.00 PT,FR,FI,IT,PL,RO,UK Lead Partner: PT Agrupamento de Escolas de Seia Wales Partner(s): Ryburn Valley High School Description: Youth unemployment is an European problem, where 5.2 millions of teenagers make their first decisions wtih an impact on their future life. Most of them regard education as not useful at all as leading them to quit studying and abandon school. Those two issues will be the leitmotifs to be understood and respected. In this context, school should have an important role in developing non formal and informal learning giving expression to multiculturalist attitudes and the construction of personal fulfillment. To help teens make wise and fruitful decisions concerning their lives, we would like to involve students from our schools into the pan-European project called “Empower students with entrepreneurial skills ”. This project emphasises the build of ‘skills for the 21st century’, develop transversal skills such as entrepreneurship and highlights ‘the ability to think critically, take initiative, problem solving and work collaboratively’. These ‘entrepreneurial skills’ should be given particular attention, since they not only help to achieve concrete entrepreneurial activity, but also enhance the employability of young people in each partner´s country and in any European country. The priorities addressed by our project are: (i) Promoting the take-up of practical entrepreneurial experiences in education, training and youth work and (ii) Improving the attainment of young people, particularly those at risk of early school leaving which will be developed by seven schools in seven diverse countries – Portugal, France, England, Italy, Romania, Poland and Finland – whose learning and teaching profiles are different. So we defined four main key-Competences: (i) Raising awareness of cultural and geographical heritage of our regions; (ii) Getting to know the products´ features related to each region’s natural environment; (iii) Becoming acquainted with the local range of industrial, commercial and handicraft associations; (iv) Developing ‘the ability to think critically, take initiative, problem solving and work collaboratively’ through creative entrepreneurship workshops. We believe that the most relevant topics our project deal with are the following: 1) Entrepreneurial learning - entrepreneurship education, 2) Creativity and culture and 3) ICT - new technologies - digital competences. To achieve them we established a mix methodology to develop this project Action-Research. This framework allows us to carry out the project into three action-cycles. Each cycle is strictly related to the going up of the project in the beginning of each new year. Thus we decided to have three transnational project meetings, attended only by school coordinators. To measure the quality of the project we will use different tools to collect data such as questionnaires, surveys and focus group targeted to students, parents, teachers and local community. The main results expected are: (i) Exhibitions of students works concerning to the past and present of their regions for different economic sectors and creativity and entrepreneurship; (ii) Reports on the attitude of students to entrepreneurial activities, the importance of formal education and their needs; (iii) Films, publicity spots, presentations, models, photo albums and posters on the perspectives and news ideas of students in relation to regional development of products or particular economic sectors in their region; (iv) Website for other schools from our areas giving them information on how they can implement similar activities in their schools; (v) Form a group of students and teachers to present/share their knowledge in regional and national schools.

As far as dissemination of the project the target groups will be students from different European schools, parents and community since being an entrepreneur in education also involves knowledge and share of good practices at national and international level. School websites, school papers, bulletin boards, exhibitions in school halls, libraries and others areas; Facebook, Etwinning and blogs, will be the internal and external privileged channels used to disseminate the project outcomes, whose the responsible for this phase of the project are the coordinators of each school partner.

At the end of the project we look forward to fostering the impact on key-Competences gained by: 1. students – independence, discipline, creativity, tolerance and team work skills, creativity and entrepreneurship; Language development and ICT literacy; 2. teachers – language and ICT improvements, team work and problem solving techniques; 3. community – improving cooperation with students’ parents, local authorities and other institutions and enhancing school prestige and popularity; 4. school partners – cooperation, experience, motivation and opportunity to exchange professional experience and good practices.

238,115.00 UK,SE,IT,SI,PL,TR,DE,ES Lead Partner: UK Ysgol Emrys ap Iwan Description: The project ” All for a greener Europe” is based on mutual interest of the participants towards a more environmentally conscious life and is devoted to work on topics related to nature, green tourism and eco tourism. It is composed of seven countries Abergele-Conwy (Wales), Istanbul(Turkey), Bremen(Germany), Bydgoszcz (Poland), Gran Canary (Spain), Karlskrona (Sweden), Horjul (Slovenia), La Spezia (Italy). All of the participating countries are aware of the dramatic situation caused by Global warming and are aware of the fact that transportation, travelling and tourism are also contributors to the greenhouse effect.

Our main goal is to analyse current trends in tourism and promote future trends which are inter-twinned with culture, traditions environment and heritage. By involving international cooperation, we will compare cultural and eco-tourism with standard tourism and solve tourism related problems finding new creative methods and techniques.

The main issues are to provide students and teachers with a deeper understanding of responsible tourism and to widen their knowledge in subjects connected to culture, history, traditions, gastronomy, environmental protection, English language and ICT whilst integrating students who come from different cultural backgrounds

The project promotes a development away from typical consumer oriented tourism towards tourism that focuses on cultural and environmental encounters and requires more responsibility from the key figures in tourism: tourists and specialists in tourism alike.

Completing the project tasks and activities (visiting each other‘s countries, making mini–tour guides and itineraries, creating presentations and booklets etc.) will prepare our students to become open-minded, culture-conscious citizens and skilled travellers, who are consciously protecting the value of their touristic environment.

International cooperation - common methods based on cooperative learning - will let us build a group and will promote collaboration. The project will put schools into cooperation with local, national and international institutions and organisations and it will encourage cross-curricular approaches. In order to get the partners to work towards a common purpose, staff will interact effectively with each other, creating international teams and sharing experiences whilst providing a unique opportunity for partners to input their own expertise and learn from each other.

The project will have both intangible results (new content learned by the participants, improved learning in relevant subject areas, new skills acquired )and tangible results (concrete products). We will use the outcomes as a measure of the extent to which the project has contributed to the learning experiences of those involved and the quality of education on offer in the schools participating. The partnership will have a positive impact on the participating institutions by building a community consisting of teachers and students who have a strong commitment to and a sense of ownership of the project. By creating and carrying out several creative dissemination techniques and activities, it will also enable a wider community (stakeholders, parents, school authorities, hotels )to benefit from our partnership in the long run.

2015-1-NO01-KA219-013245 2015 Both Listen to our Souls & Sharpen Our Minds! 252,075.00 NO,UK,IT,LV,SI,EL Lead Partner: NO Gjerstad skole Wales Partner(s): Ysgol Y Dderi Description: Research has shown that all human beings are born with great potential. Education from a very early age must be a flexible tool and an on going process to nurture, develop and support strengths, talents and skills, while at the same time being a system where individuals can satisfy their natural curiosity and hunger for learning and explore themselves further. Gardner's multiple intelligences provides us with the theoretical background and framework in order to plan, design and implement a holistic approach to delivering a broad balanced curriculum. The objectives of our B.L.O.S.S.O.M. project addresses the EU education target of early school leavers, creating high quality learning opportunities and strengthening quality through mobility and cross - border cooperation. The activities are very carefully selected according to the S.M.A.R.T. criteria to address each individual's potential and instill a thirst for life long learning. They are grouped under Gardner's 8 multiple intelligences making sure that throughout the 36 month period pupils will have the opportunity to immerse deeply into each one of them equally, thus allowing the development of the whole individual and the stimulation of both sides of the brain (creative and logical) simultaneously. Tasks include writing workshops, "readathons", illustrating, interviews, debates, storytelling, visit to the local library and printing press, conducting of scientific experiments, using the four rules in mathematics creatively, organizing a science fair, working with scientists, collecting data, playing outdoor games, creating music, international choir, planting and gardening, visit to botanical gardens, recycling, humanitarian work, managing finance, working with emotions and feelings, visit to the Art Museum, art workshops, living outdoors during an international camp, movie making, use of digital competences and self evaluation activities, and communicating through the e twinning platform. These tasks are designed in order to facilitate differentiated learning, working individually, in groups, cross culturally with access to different stakeholders, with planned visits to motivate and nurture an eagerness to develop further learning. The participant organisations cover a wide geographical area which is an add-on value in terms of cultural diversity and representation within Europe. The group consists of 7 schools and 6 different countries and is a mixture of small rural and large urban units from socioeconomic deprived areas facing new challenges with unemployment and immigration. The estimated number of people who will directly and indirectly benefit from this partnerships will be in the thousands. We have a very clear structured achievable timetable of tasks to be carried out. Each term of this three year period will be dedicated to a different kind of intelligence (according to Gardner's categorization). The specific intelligence chosen will be thoroughly explored and pupils will work on several different activities which promote it and at the same time integrate all the other intelligences so as to achieve a holistic approach of the multiple intelligences theory. This well organized educational process will lead

EU Funding 2007-2016 – Heritage & the Historic Environment in Wales – undertaken by EUCLID – July 2017

119 our schools to tangible and intangible results. Our tangible results include an international book of short stories, an international musical cd, an international Erasmus+ banner, scrapbooks, power point presentations, e book with science experiments, a dvd of outdoor games, a library of mood music, performances and concerts, an international theatrical play, a movie about nature, bazaars and charity events, garden produce and reflective journals. During this period of project work, all stakeholders will increase their cultural awareness and become partakers of an extended, borderless educational community which interacts cross culturally. People are empowered by other people and we become our best selves through unselfish interaction with others. In this framework, all participants will have the opportunity to get involved in high quality life long learning since the aim is to guide all members smoothly and effectively to learning autonomy for life. Transnational cooperation will help our schools to establish their very important role in the process of the development of the whole area, their region and their country. This innovative idea we will be working on does not aim at offering stakeholders additional knowledge and information but aspires to become a life changing experience. Human beings are genetically programmed to learn and it is this very mechanism of learning that we will try to decode, activate and use at its best potential throughout our project. The knowledge and experience gained through this process will create a generation of well qualified and highly motivated workforce, self confident and emotionally intelligent parents, sensitive and responsible European citizens.

2016-1-FI01-KA219-022664 2016 Champions of Languages and Minorities 100,040.00 FI,IT,PL,UK Lead Partner: FI Gymnasiet Grankulla samskola Wales Partner(s): Ysgol Dinas Bran James Gillespie's High School Description: Background & objectivesIn light of today's economic hardships, political climate and the strong influence of globalisation, we are worried that young people do not have a strong enough sense of belonging and do not understand the importance of their cultural heritage and the role it plays in shaping their identity. Therefore, this project aims at making students realize the importance of language and their own culture for shaping identity and gain a deeper understanding of their cultural heritage. Participants The project involves six secondary schools from Italy, Wales, Scotland, Poland and Finland, Switzerland (silent partner). Each school is located in an area where a minority language is spoken. However, how big the minority language is, what political and cultural autonomy the minority enjoys and what current problems the minorities face differ greatly and will provide the participants with a good basis for comparison and building new knowledge together.MethodologyThe project is structured around three subtopics: - understanding your own identity and culture- understanding the historical and geographical significance- understanding the concept minority, what role the minority plays in society (now and in the future) and what the students themselves can do to maintain the minorityThe methodological approach to these topics will include activities which focus on reflection, analysis, creative and critical thinking and and it will integrate several different school subjects. Creativity has been an operative word when designing the project activities and planning the outcomes and it will integrate several different school subjects as well as work methods based on theatre pedagogyResultsThe three main results of the project will be: 1) A manual for how to use theatre pedagogy exercises to increase understanding of oneself and the other. The manual can be used in schools, but also in integration work with immigrants and asylum seekers. 2) Festivals held in each participating country celebrating minority culture and showcasing the students’ work from all the project meetings3) A blog where all the project activities will remain accessible also after the completion of the projectImpact & long-term benefits Those who participate in the project are expected to gain a deeper understanding of their own language and cultural heritage. They will also learn about other minority cultures and the threats they are facing in today’s society and thereby become better prepared for how to solve these issues in the future. In the long term, everyone involved in the project will become champions of languages and minorities. In other words, they will start to appreciate their minority culture and language more because they are aware of the relationship between their cultural heritage and their identity. Similarly, they will start to show more respect for other people’s rights to do this too and thereby be less critical when it comes to immigrants and asylum seekers who want to promote their own cultural heritage and keep some of their own traditions and customs. This will make it possible for a majority and minority culture(s) to successful co-exist. In addition, the participants will increase their intercultural competence, English language skills and their ability to do research, analyse results and think critically.

2016-1-UK01-KA219-024626 2016 Under The Same Sky 108,375.00 UK,TR,ES,IT,EL,BG Lead Partner: UK Ysgol Llwyn yr Eos Description: Our project was created as a response to worries that we share about the weaknesses of traditional system of education. Our intention is to combine the elements that children love, like playing group games, computer games, hearing and making comics and stories and use them as learning tools through very creative cross-curricular,non formal and innovative teaching methods and strategies as this is an effective way to strengthen and enrich children's abilities.Moreover, our interest about different European cultures moves to a deeper level of understanding that respects the diversity of cultures and use each one's cultural heritage as a great opportunity for children to learn easily, creatively and effectively.At the same time,we intend to raise awareness of children's own cultural identity in order to become more familiar with their language, history, geography, music and art.Our activities are carefully designed to fulfill this demand. We want children to develop an European spirit while learning, to be more tolerant and respectful towards others. Children will feel very activated. They will be creators, problem solvers, self motivators and will develop positive attitude in all situations. These activities will also help them to increase their self confidence and motivation for learning that is the first step in fighting school drop. At the same time,they will become more sensitive to those who are different from them or come from different surroundings, especially with those who come from countries backdrop of war and deprivation of human rights. They will learn to cooperate and make new friendships, overcome language barriers, adopt themselves for team work, communicate and exchange ideas by using new technologies, improve their speaking and listening skills through CLIL method. Finally they will manage to evaluate the outcomes of their cooperation.The project

120 will also help teachers to exchange good pedagogical practices and information with the other participants, develop their own teaching expertise and become more open- minded. They will develop cross- curricular work in classroom that provides a real life context and motivate children to learn. The project is a great chance for them to learn about other educational systems around Europe, see good and weak elements in them and have the opportunity to make suggestions for improvement and structural changes.Our project will finally create closer relationships among schools, parents and community members, make a move for opening school to the society by organising community events like dissemination meetings where all the people involved will interact, exchange ideas and make suggestions about the results of the project.

2016-1-FI01-KA219-022682 2016 Roots and wings - survival skills in the digital world 82,885.00 FI,UK,AT Lead Partner: FI Nurmeksen lukio Wales Partner(s): Crickhowell High School Description: The digital world seems global and uniform with the young generation as its confident native inhabitants mastering the rules and regulations, technology and skills. However, the reality presents itself differently in school life challenging this perception. Being able to share photos, chat and tweet does not seem to imply being inherently able to use ICT tools effectively or safely for learning, nor even for entertainment, as teachers have witnessed on many occasions at school and as reports of cases of fraud and abuse in social media testify. Fundamentally, the process of growing up as human beings remains the same in this day and age as before. Young people are possibly perhaps even more insecure of themselves in this image-conscious era where one’s photos and thoughts can be commented on effortlessly world-wide in a matter of seconds.Young people are not the only ones affected by the digital era - it also poses challenges for teachers. The concept of knowledge, the theories of learning, the roles of learners and teachers are changing. Curricula and methods are being reformed all over Europe as schools try to adjust to the needs presented by this development. Thus, three secondary schools across Europe, Nurmeksen lukio in Nurmes, Finland, Crickhowel High School in Crickhowell, Powys, Wales in the UK and BG/BRG Klosterneuburg in Klosterneuburg, Austria formed a partnership to equip their students with both roots and wings to survive in the modern world. Altogether, 87 students (aged 16 - 19) and 9 teachers will be working on the project for two years. They will collaborate both online and in real life in three student meetings and two teachers' meetings.The project ‘Roots and wings – survival skills in the digital world’ has three main aims. Firstly, we aim to enable our students to better understand their identity and appreciate their background and cultural heritage. Secondly, we want to equip them with skills needed in the modern world. We wish to encourage students to be responsible, show initiative and take charge of their lives. This will be done by adopting a learner-centred approach and applying principles of phenomenon-based learning and team learning. We will work on three phenomena: 1) digital literacy, 2) identity, health and wellbeing and 3) higher education. By using various digital tools and collaborating online, we will learn how to behave responsibly and effectively in the digital world. And thirdly, we as teachers will also be learners in this project and learn from each other and students as we try out new pedagogical methods and tools. To understand one’s own background, it is useful to be able to compare and contrast it to others’ and that is why we formed this transnational network of partners. By comparing and contrasting cultures, we will also find what unites us as Europeans. In this age of economic uncertainty and increased migration it is vital to discuss why the European Union is important even to people in its border regions and in its very centre. A transnational cooperation will also highlight the importance of learning foreign languages and show that learning languages is about much more than learning vocabulary and grammar.As a result we aim to produce a website full of information for other young people wanting to discover the meaning of their roots and gaining wind beneath their wings: eg. how to be digitally literate, how to assess the validity of online sources of information, how to behave responsibly in the social media, how find and finance higher education, and other vital life skills such as how to maintain a healthy lifestyle, how to examine and strengthen one's own identity and how it can be represented through various forms of art. Another important result is aimed at educators struggling with the demands of modern society and the need to revise pedagogics. The teachers taking part in this project shall share their experiences of guiding and mentoring students both nationally and transnationally according to the principles of phenomenon-based learning and team learning. This collaboration will thus be a testing ground for the renewing curricula in partner countries hoping to establish viable working methods that shall live on even after the project itself has finished. The chang e from teacher-led activities to a more learner-centred approach allows educators to support the independence and life skills of our students, so that they can tackle the issues they face in this modern, digital age knowing who they are and where they come from. Thus, equip them with both roots and wings.It is also hoped that this project will be a start of continued collaboration not only among three partner schools but also among the young citizens of three European countries.

The project brings together schools who are right at the edge of Europe including several who are even on another continent, those that are experiencing the refugee crisis as a daily reality and those that are very far removed from it in a unique collaboration. The partner schools will involve as many students in the project as possible, including those from refugee and migrant backgrounds and those with special needs and disabilities. Key objectives of the project will be: a) to create opportunities

EU Funding 2007-2016 – Heritage & the Historic Environment in Wales – undertaken by EUCLID – July 2017

121 for all students to develop as active, autonomous citizens, in accordance with their capacities and educational needs; b) to broaden teachers' professional development by the sharing and adoption of innovative pedagogical approaches aimed at promoting the educational success of all students. Bridging the gap between school and the outside world, through partnership work with NGOs and parents, the students' engagement in the project will contribute to the promotion of a positive stance towards school and learning, thus playing an important role in their personal and academic growth and helping to combat school dropout rates. Students, will be active participants in all different phases of the project, developing essential skills and attitudes to succeed not only in today's economy and modern society but also in their personal lives. We will focus on the following skills: 1) the ability to speak foreign languages, 2) sense of initiative, 3) social and civic competences, 4) IT skills, 5) capacity to learn to learn, and 6) cultural awareness and expression.Activities and results include:Year One: Schools gain knowledge and understanding of the refugee crisis through first hand experiences in Italy and Melilla. These are shared with other schools and stakeholders back home through exhibitions and presentations. Investigation of immigration past and present in own regions shared through pen portraits of famous locals with migrant or refugee backgrounds. Project grafitti walls established in each school to feature logo, imagery related to our themes and pledges to combat discrimination. Students research specific equality problems in their schools and cities and collaborate to propose solutions. After tackling the problems in their own environment, the students together with the teachers to create an Equality policy for the school. Project website including teachers tv section to share film clips of our different innovative pedagocila approaches and associated resources.Year Two: Students and teachers meeting in Portugal to have emphasis on valuing the role of disabled people as citizens in their own right, and on the urgent need to promote positive attitudes and behaviours towards different religions and beliefs. Sharing “Pedagogy for autonomy and educational success" through lesson observation.Each school to produce welcome booklet for new pupils and their families through consultation with them and one another to ensure relevance to refugees/migrants as well as to those pupils who have special needs or disabilities in the light of lessons learnt from the project to date.Students engage in project work about facilities for disabled people in our cities/region discovering the challenges faced.Collaboration via Skype on the best ideas to improve integration of disabled children in regular education in each partner country leading to publication of an article.Teachers' meeting in Reunion focuses on the heritage of slavery, on gender quality in the context of education to citizenship. Innovative pedagogy shared in CLIL as well as use of contemporary art as a way of sensitizing to mutual listening. Year 3: Meeting for students and teachers in Wales. Sharing drama as an inclusive teaching and learning technique to improve confidence for all, working in equitable partnership with a school in a developing country. Focus on the impact of racism and sexism in sport and ways of combating this.Holocaust Memorial Day observed in each school. Pupils work in international groups on plays, flashmobs and other types of performance to highlight and combat one of the different types of prejudice. These are performed at final meeting In Finland. Sharing innovative use of IT. Reaching out and volunteering to support disabled and vulnerable people. Students and teachers spend an afternoon helping out the Iraqi, Russian, Somalian and Syrian immigrants. Completion of graffiti walls in each school complete with pledges for continued action.

These cities, developed in the last 50 years as the main touristic destination of Europe, are now in many cases transformed in empty landscapes stopped by the present economic crisis. The voids of these abandoned territories are not more anomalous interferences within the urban fabric, but unlimited spaces disfiguring the littoral. Voids not only understood as the spaces that were not developed, but also as the thousands of square meters of Real Estate speculative developments that remained half-built, converted in future ruins. These terrain vagues, where everything is possible, could be reactivated with new strategies of urban experimentation, interpreted as complex systems of social, environmental, economical, topological, and symbolical relationships. This work intends to develop a comparative research on several Case Studies along the Euro Mediterranean littoral. A Case Study is the cities of the Spanish Mediterranean coastline. Large areas of real estate developments aimed for sun and beach tourism have been abandoned. Many industrial areas built during the Industrial Revolution at the Spanish littoral are now converted in ruined post‐industrial voids with heritage values, surrounded by empty Real Estate developments. The recycling of these Post‐industrial spaces could contribute as future cultural and economic magnets to the reactivation of these degraded areas into productive and ecological landscapes. New recovering strategies should be found for the post-economic crisis landscape at the Mediterranean coastline, in order to offer new alternatives of development for the local population, in close interaction with the environment. The Landscape and the Ecology Urbanism could offer useful instruments to understand and explore the adequate intervention systems and economic reactivation strategies for these abandoned areas.

In the case of the Iberian Empires, the establishment of new trade routes brought up the need for armed merchantmen, galleons and smaller vessels, placing unprecedented demands on Iberian forests for the supply of construction timber. Forestry and sea power became inextricably linked, creating new geopolitical tensions, alliances and forest regulations. Key questions in this context are: could Iberian forest resources sustain the increasing demand of sound timber, or was the wood imported from elsewhere? If so, how were the trade networks organized? And did the lack of raw material force the technological changes occurred in shipbuilding in the 16th century, or were they a result of exchange between Mediterranean and Atlantic shipbuilding traditions? This project will address these questions through a multidisciplinary and innovative training research program to improve the understanding of our historical past, our cultural heritage, and our knowledge of the use of resources for shipbuilding. The prerequisite for such approach is combining knowledge derived from Humanities and Life Sciences. The aims of the project are: i) to consolidate a research line combining historical research, underwater archaeology, GIS and wood provenancing methods (dendrochronology, wood anatomy and geo/dendrochemistry); ii)

Europeana Cloud will provide new content, new metadata, a new linked storage system, new tools and services for researchers and a new platform - Europeana Research. Content providers and aggregators, across the European information landscape, urgently need a cheaper, more sustainable infrastructure that is capable of storing both metadata and content. Researchers require a digital space where they can undertake innovative exploration and analysis of Europe's digitised content. Europeana needs to get closer to the target of 30 million items by 2015. Europeana Cloud meets these needs.The key objectives of Europeana Cloud are: 1. To provide access, at Europeana, to 1.1m new metadata records and 5m research focussed items from across European Universities, libraries, data centres and publishers; 2. To create a cloud based infrastructure capable of delivering cost-efficient content and metadata storage for stakeholders across Europe; 3. To understand and incorporate the legal, strategic and economic issues of a cloud-based system for content for cultural heritage institutions and domain aggregators; 4. To achieve a broad consensus among European content aggregators and research networks on the advantages of a cloud based solution; 5. To develop a digital platform, named Europeana Research, to discover and use Europeana research content; 6. Via this cloud to provide tools and services for researchers that permit innovative research that exploits digitised content in Europeana. This is a vital project for the Europeana network of content providers and aggregators, moving to an infrastructure that can deal not just with descriptive metadata but actual digitised content as well.

They are destined to become an essential part of the information infrastructure in the 21st century. The proposed Network intends to conduct a joint program of activities (JPA) aimed at integrating and coordinating the ongoing research activities of the major European teams working in DL-related areas with the goal of developing the next generation DL technologies.

The objective is to (i) define unifying and comprehensive theories and frameworks over the life-cycle of DL information, (ii) build interoperable multimodal/multilingual services and integrated content management ranging from the personal to the global for the specialist and the general population. The Network aims at developing generic DL technology to be incorporated into industrial- strength DL Management Systems (DLMSs), offering advanced functionality through reliable and extensible services. The Network will also disseminate knowledge of DL technologies to many diverse application domains. To this end a Virtual DL Competence Centre will be established which will provide specific user communities with access to advanced DL technologies, services, testbeds, and the necessary expertise and knowledge to facilitate their take-up.

Other important objectives are: to network and structure European DL-related research in order to consolidate an emerging community; to provide a forum where researchers, practitioners, and representatives of interested applications and industries can exchange ideas and experiences; to promote an exchange programme towards improving international cooperation in DL research areas.

REPROCITY: Research & training on restoration & protection of the city environment in industrial regions Permalink: http://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/73547_en.html Pro ject ID: 509775 MOBILITY-1.3 - Marie Curie Host Fellowships - Transfer of knowledge (TOK) From 2004-10-01 to 2008-09-30 T otal cost: EUR 742 669 EU contribution: EUR 1 029 526 Description: The project deals with the Built Environment. Majority of human existence are situated in cities where the huge part of the society spends 90% of their life. Though the quality of Built Environment is usually assessed from the functional, aesthetic and aft er many years from the historical point of view, these are structural engineers who assure its safe existence. The project concentrates on solving structural and constructional problems connected with protection and restoration of existing and deteriorated city built environment. The built environment, which has no ability of self-regeneration, depends only on the human aid. This refers particularly to the built environment in industrial regions. Fast development of the cities and need of modernisation cause that the existing building infrastructure must be still adjusted to the changing human needs. These threats and needs generate serious structural and constructional problems, which should be permanently solved in cities all over Europe. Solving these problems we determine the following research area of this project: 1. Analytical assessment and prediction of structural safety threats appearing due to actions undertaken in the city (tunnelling, deep excavations, mining activity in the vicinity of existing buildings). 2. Durability of building materials subjected to environmental impact. 3. Recognition of the current state of threatened object, assessment of its structural safety, and design of protection and strengthening. 4. Structural problems connected with modernising of old buildings (sometimes monumental) and revitalising of post-industrial sites. These topics will be developed both on analytical and experimental way. Following issues will be developed in four Working Groups: 1. The influence of grou nd subsidence on built environment 2. Case study on building materials durability 3. Strengthening methods. 4. Protection of city cultural heritage.

EUROET HOS Exploring the scope for a shared European pluralistic ethos; a comparative investigation of religious and secular ethically-derived requests for exemption from the law in an enlarging Europe Permalink: http://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/84709_en.html Pro ject ID: 28522 CITIZENS-2004-4.2.1 - New EU borders, new visions of neighbourhood STREP - Specific Targeted Research Project Coordination and Cooperation - Social sciences and humanities Total cost: EUR 851 350 EU contribution: EUR 639 399 Description: The politics of handling cultural diversity is one of the major issues in the construction of Europe, especially in light of the enlargement of the EU. The EuroEthos project aims to explore the possible scope for a shared European ethos through the analysis of political and legal questions concerning issues of religious and secular ethics-based requests for exemption from the law, in the belief that the study of such issues provides precious indications on how societies try to handle a plurality of values.

The project has four objectives: - to develop and organise knowledge on cases in which religious and ethical secular values lead to the definition of politically relevant claims; - to raise historical awareness of the relationship between plural values and political stances; - to analyse the influence of a diverse cultural heritage on the political views of citizens in the enlarging Europe; - to study the scope for a European ethos as a precondition for political integration.

To achieve these objectives, the project will compile a database of cases of requests for exemption from the law, and run a comparative analysis focusing on two case studies. Building on this analysis, normative guidelines will be developed regarding the specific forms in which a pluralistic European ethos could be realised.

The knowledge-based study on the possibility of fostering European political integration through the creation of a shared ethos will produce a better understanding of the impact of plural values and religions in societies across Europe, and of their role in relation to changes in society, as required by the objectives of the FP6 (activity 7.2.1).

The project's dissemination activities include conferences and a publication strategy aiming to communicate results to an academic and non-academic public. The researchers involved enjoy very good academic reputations. The combination of their different areas of expertise will provide a nuanced outlook on the issue.

PAST PLACE (The Past in its Place: Histories of Memory in England and Wales) Project ID: 284085 Funded under: FP7-IDEAS-ERC ERC-SG-SH5 - ERC Starting Grant - Cultures and cultural production Social sciences and humanities Permalink: http://cordis.europa.eu/result/rcn/179522_en.html Total cost: EUR 1 261 624,80 EU contribution: EUR 1 261 624,80 Funding scheme: ERC-SG - ERC Starting Grant Description: This five-year project will explore the ‘history of memory’ in a range of English and Welsh locales from the early medieval period down to the modern era. Drawing on the disciplinary perspectives of literary studies and archaeology, the project will identify and interpret textual and material ‘technologies of remembrance’, including texts, oral traditions, monuments and customary practices. PASTPLACE will transcend the boundaries of periodization and discipline to examine patterns of remembrance, re-imagining and forgetting over the longue durée.

Research will be organized in three strands with staggered start-dates, focusing on three types of locale strongly associated with cultural and individual memory. Strand 1 focuses on the history of death, burial and commemoration at a group of English and Welsh cathedrals. Strand 2 explores the interaction of medieval, early modern and modern people with sites of ancient habitation, including Roman settlements, Iron Age hill forts, and prehistoric tombs. Strand 3, ‘Topographies of Memory’, explores the organization of natural and historical landscape features in perceptual frameworks. Research in each strand will centre on six case studies drawn from across southern Britain, with clusterings in the southwest and the Welsh borders.

However, corrosion is dramatically accelerated by air pollutants such as nitric or sulphur oxides, organic acids and others. Since the control of the air quality might be either inadequate or excessive without the application of any monitoring technique to give rapid feedback on the air quality, information on the actual corrosivity is crucial for effective corrosion protection. There is a strong need for a simple, reliable, and real-time technique for air-quality monitoring. The main goal of the MUSECORR project was to develop electronic loggers for continuous measurement of air corrosivity, AirCorr.

PET US: The Practical Evaluation Tools for Urban Sustainability Economic Aspects - Environmental Protection - Social sciences and humanities - Transport - Waste Management Pro ject ID: EVK4-CT-2002-00101 Funded under: FP5-EESD 1.1.4.-4. - Key action City of Tomorrow and Cultural Heritage From 2002-12-01 to 2005-11-30 Total cost: EUR 2 009 797 EU contribution: EUR 1 440 950 Description: A current COST Action (CS Urban Infrastructure and Sustainability) is collecting fifty case studies from thirteen EU countries covering water/sewage, waste, transport, energy networks, green areas and holistic urban studies. The work has identified a lack of structured evaluation procedures and benchmark data which makes it difficult to assess the benefits of a project, its full socio- economic impact and how it might be transferred elsewhere. PETUS will develop and test practical evaluation tools that will enable public and private sector organisations to develop and manage urban infrastructure projects to promote sustainable development. The tools will include decision-making and public participation processes. The project team is drawn mainly from members of the COST action group.
