Inclusion Impact Box: Unlocking the Power of Diversity in Education

ongoing

The ImpactBOX project aims at addressing the EU political commitment to a cross cutting priority for all education and trainingsectors and levels, focusing on capacity-building with a multi-level approach - starting from EU to local level. Its goal: to improve inclusive, digital, and sustainable strategies and practices in education and training organisations - considered as multipliers - to create transformative change by challenging current inequalities and environmental challenges. The consortium involves 5 full partners and 6 Affiliated Entities, ensuring impact from international to the local level through their extensive network of members and partners in several EU and non-EU countries. The primary target group of the project are the adult educators and staff working in the education and training sector. ImpactBOX is structured in 5 work packages.WP1 ensures the basic project management needs: project and financial management, dissemination and communication and quality assurance, monitoring quality and project progress.WP2 will gather resources and materials from the four core areas of the project: access and participation, inclusion and diversity, digital skills for inclusion and environmental sustainability. All resources and materials will be included in an free-of-charge e-learning platform. The WP3 includes a transnational in-person training on the project 4 core themes, as well as adapted local trainings based on the needs of the local organisation involved. WP4 will provide an impact assessment tool, validated by stakeholders and peer reviewing to education and training providers, CSOs and NGOs, to support them on their own assessment and impact measurement. WP5 focuses on policy and decision-makers including the development of policy recommendations using a bottom-up approach. The pedagogical approaches implemented will all make educational staff and managers of CSOs more aware and willing to practise inclusive approaches also at internal level.
