Euclid Network's guide to the EC's work programme

EuclidNetwork

The new programme contains a number of items which should be of interest to non-profit organisations and civil society in general. Whether the plan's focus on citizens' needs and social issues is a genuine attempt to turn the existing ‘Economic Europe' into a badly needed ‘Social Europe' remains to be seen. But civil society is not powerless: by reacting to consultations and advocating its positions at home and in Brussels, CSOs and individual citizens alike can influence the Commission's communications, policy drafting and proposals.

Individual countries are too weak to address major challenges alone. - Examples of necessary common European action include the new European Border and Coast Guard to manage migration flows and develop an EU asylum system, as well as correcting tax avoidance through decisions like making Apple repay billions in unpaid taxes. - For sustainable and inclusive growth, Europe needs coordinated investment in both high-tech research and quality education accessible to all children from an early age.

Protocole of fine tuning of e-learning modules

The document provides a protocol for partners to fine-tune online learning modules based on feedback from a pilot training program. It outlines a three-step process: 1) Partners compile feedback from trainees, tutors, and national referents on the modules' content, training structure, and platform usability. 2) Partners identify issues, find solutions if needed, and decide on actions to improve the modules without changing objectives. 3) Partners implement changes while ensuring coherence and quality, and have tutors check the final modified modules. The goal is moderate improvements informed by the pilot that do not alter the overall training program or objectives.

The role of the National referents

The document discusses the role and responsibilities of a National Referent in the RAISE project. The National Referent will act as the tutor coordinator at the national level and represent their country at the European level. They must have strong communication, technological, and English language skills. As well as knowledge of the social and telecentre context. Key responsibilities include installing and maintaining the Moodle platform, registering tutors and students, translating and adapting course content, implementing and guiding tutors through the pilot training courses, and facilitating communication and participation among tutors.

D13 Pen Portrait

Pen portraits are used to define a target audience by imagining a specific person and considering details like their name, beliefs, where they live, work, and learn, as well as their needs, ambitions, pleasures, and pains. Creating a pen portrait helps ensure communications are tailored to the individual or group by allowing the author to speak directly to the imagined person. Key details to consider include demographic information, peer groups, and psychological factors like what drives and motivates the individual. The goal is to empathize with the target audience and serve their needs in a way they will find most helpful.

D12 Six thinking hats

1) The Six Thinking Hats strategy is a tool used to lead difficult meetings to successful conclusions by activating different thinking capacities in people that are normally not used. 2) It was developed by Edward de Bono and involves participants temporarily taking on different thinking perspectives ("hats") on a topic, such as critical, positive, or neutral perspectives. 3) Only two rules are followed: participants must respect the perspective of the hat they are wearing and respect other perspectives while staying in their assigned role.

D11 Case consultation

The document describes case consultation with colleagues (3C), a process where colleagues act as coaches to help solve a case provider's problem.

Roles include the case provider, coaches, moderator, optional writer and process supervisor. The method is useful for overcoming conflicts, accompanying complex projects, strengthening problem-solving and reflection skills, and building trust between colleagues.
