The project aims at proposing an integrate and complete strategy for improving youth employability and a better school-to-work transition. In particular, the project will foster the collaboration between VET institutions and employers in the wood and the furniture sector, contributing to adapt curriculum and qualification profiles and proposing and testing a cooperation framework between enterprises/employers and VET institutions to define integrated transnational dual learning models.

In particular the project aims:

• To contribute to adapt curriculum and qualification profiles by investigating the technological and soft skills gap in the professional profiles for the Wood Treaters, Cabinet Makers and related Trade Workers (ESCO 752 profiles and ISCO 08).
• To contribute to overcome youth stereotypes and biased perceptions concerning skilled manual occupations and traditional economic sectors
• To increase organizational, social, emotional, entrepreneurial and technological skills and competences in VET students and workers
• To propose and test a cooperation framework between different stakeholders (especially enterprises/employers and VET institutions) to define integrated transnational dual learning models: one model would not fit every situation, but a core concept can be proposed, accompanied by a "modelling engine" to support adaptation to several sectors and countries.
• To support the implementation of 2013 Communication on Opening up education: promoting the development of new modes of delivery of training, including virtual mobility and e-learning.
• To evaluate this first experience of model design and implementation, with the scope of identifying shortcomings and transferable solutions.

Euro4Science 2.0 is a spinoff of a very successful partnership, previous Euro4Science Erasmus + Project. Euro4scince includes partners from Portugal, Poland, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria and the UK

Euro4Science 2.0, includes the development of a Forensic Science Educational Toolbox which, despite exploring the same "case-file" forensic like approach as in euro4Science 1, now pretends to wide activities subject expanding the range of topics from STEMs. The philosophy of enquiry education and case files exploration complemented with lab and field activities is now comprehensive to incorporate important priorities of present day citizenship and challenges including health education, environmental sustainability and inclusive society and human rights.

In order to implement the innovative educational activities proposed and responding to a clear identified need, Euro4Science will promote the creation of a network of teachers properly trained in a hierarchical chain of workshops, from central "Train the trainers" hubs to local "hotspots" in order to reach a significant number of teachers and through them ultimately by secondary school students.

Hence the objectives of the project, include:

• Tackling of early school leaving
• motivation of disadvantage students
• promote scientific and media literacy
• address values and topics such as  freedom, tolerance , non-discrimination and respect for  human rights
• address environmental sustainability and health by exploring transdisciplinary "Case Files"
• develop activities related to everyday hot topics which are transmitted via media and internet, thus requiring proper literacy

Four Intellectual Outputs:

• I.O.1: Forensic Science Educational Toolbox Version 2
• I.O.2: Video Library
• I.O.3: Forensic Science in Education -  Edition Book
• I.O.4:European Network of Forensic Sciences in Education

Multiplier Events

• Teacher's Train the Trainers in Forensic Science in Education in every partner country (6)
• Forensic Science Festival in Turkey, UK & Portugal
• International Symposium of Forensic Education

 Euro4science’s target groups

• Teachers
• Secondary Students
• Young migrants and refugees

The project is going to prepare a framework of knowledge and skills for the low-skilled unemployed adults 45+. The social and economic inclusion of this group will be achieved through advanced media literacy and digital skills. Medlit45+ is the appropriate project for low-skilled/low-qualified adults 45+ need to develop and upgrade their media literacy and digital skills for the effective use of social media in a way that can generate increased opportunities for them in the social and professional level.

Hence the objectives of the project, include:

• Developing the digital/media competences of low-skilled/low-qualified unemployed adults 45+ through innovative tools so that they are motivated and able to ]
• Building of a robust online professional identity to strengthen their access to employment, leading to social & economic inclusion
• Enhancing the knowledge of employment/career counselors and/or relevant authorities, organizations & companies working with low-skilled/low-qualified unemployed and equipping them with a new approach & tools for supporting and interacting with middle-aged unemployed persons through social media.

The added value of implementing the project at EU level is that it will contribute to the creation & dissemination of a common (& easily adaptable & transferable) framework & online resource platform that address a Union-wide challenge (and even more so since Romania, Greece, Portugal, Spain & Italy are among the countries with the lowest levels of digital skills, especially of low-qualified persons).

It will also contribute to the further implementation of the New Skills Agenda for Europe.

Three Intellectual Outputs:

• Development of digital skills building framework through social media for low-skilled/low-qualified unemployed persons over 45
• Development and pilot implementation of online resource platform for building the digital competences of low-skilled/low-qualified unemployed persons over 45
• Development and dissemination of manual for professionals supporting unemployed persons
