===World From Our Doorstep===

The World From Our Doorstep is an innovative, three year project designed to tackle the challenges children growing up in increasingly complex and globalized societies are to face. Concepts of Interconnectedness, sustainability, and fairness will be addressed through a broad range of learning materials. These materials include story books, topic boxes, storytelling, outdoor and experiential learning, and enquiry.

The project aims are: 1) develop outdoor and experiential learning as a means to introduce global issues of interconnectedness, sustainability and fairness to children; 2) foster links with food producers and rural craftspeople so that the project themes are relevant and real to children; 3) work with practitioners in regular Focus Groups to introduce learning resources like the “Meet Zogg” storybook and topic boxes, and develop new activities and classroom resources alongside practitioners; 4) support practitioners to develop ways to engage parents and families in learning about the project themes, 5) enable practitioners and children to establish links with the Cumbria Fairtrade Network; 6)support schools and EY settings to establish and nurture links with schools and food producers overseas, including EU and sub-Saharan Africa; 7) our final project will be a World from our Doorstep Practitioner Handbook, which will include all the methodologies and activities which have been developed, tried and tested, and which can be used by practitioners to build on and sustain the learning.

===Youth of the World! Mainstreaming Global Awareness in Youth Work===

Youth of the world! Mainstreaming Global Awareness in Youth Work is a 36-month, international project supported through the Non-state Actors and Local Authorities Development Programme of the European Union ([[EuropeAid]]). It aims to expedite and ensure opportunities for youth organizations, youth facilitators and trainers, increase youth involvement in global education and learning, and mainstream global awareness within youth organizations. To accomplish these aims,“Youth of the World!” will foster public awareness among young citizens on the global interdependencies between EU and developing countries, increase the engagement of young people to promote equitable relations in the world and a sustainable way of living, and better integrate global development issues into the non- formal educational sphere regarding young people.

This project is being implemented in Cyprus by the Future Worlds Center, Bulgaria by the [[C.E.G.A. Foundation]], Austria by [[Südwind Agentur]], Estonia by [[Mondo]], Lithuania by [[Youth Career and Advising Centre]], and Scotland by [[Scotdec]], as well as by our associate partner [[Young People We Care]] in Ghana and Sub-Saharan Africa.

~~===[[Children, Data and Emerging Identities|IDentifEYE - Children, Data and Emerging Identities]]===~~

The project '''Children, Data and Emerging Identities''' concerns the development of an augmented reality game in which different sets of data, both active and passive, lead to different outcomes as symbolized by signs. These different signs will be printed by children as an outcome of a stage in the game and will shown to a computer camera. Then, on their computer screen, the augmented reality translation of the signs will be shown. This translation represents the identity that emerges from the data they have entered in the course of the game. By playing the game children will learn that not providing any data or providing only a small amount of data leads to either a complete lack of representation or a distorted representation while providing of too many validated data will lead to a truthful representation. The proposal involves 4 partners from 3 countries (Cyprus, The Netherlands, and the U.K.).

~~ - To introduce the latest achievements of ICT in data mining, intelligence, correlation, classification, automatic monitoring, decision making, report producing, etc., in combating crimes.~~

- To facilitate the formal exchange of compiled information produced by the intelligent analysis of online contents, amongst all stakeholders in order to enhance collaboration and effectively counteract crimes.

- To strengthen the mission of the recently founded European Cybercrime Center, by producing strategic reports on crimes’ trends and emerging threats in order to provide comparable statistics among Member States.
