The project "Training for digital stress literacy in the form of a web-based app (TRIGS)" is a partnership of six European partners in adult education who contribute to the achievement of the Europe 2020 and ET 2020 goals:
The ability to be self-determined, vigilant and responsible towards one's own habits in dealing with digital media and to develop appropriate self-discipline is a declared goal. Even though discussions with friends and acquaintances about the change in digital use are increasingly being used to discuss and complain about digital stress and the increasing (social) constraints, there is only slow movement in the direction of research, politics and pedagogical practice. The University of Mainz and the Hans-Böckler Foundation now confirm this subjective impression in current studies which show that the daily use of digital content can be a source of stress in everyday life. The activity in social networks seems to create a feeling of obligation and social pressure to be reachable at all times and immediately. Another source of stress is the now common "Internet multitasking", according to the findings, in which activities are performed simultaneously offline and online.

A large-scale European study by the opinion research institute YouGov also shows that we are dealing here with problems that are important throughout Europe and that will continue to occupy us for a long time to come if they are ignored. According to this study, the subjectively perceived stress among 18-30 year olds in Europe is increasing. As direct or indirect consequences, they also state that they suffer from inner restlessness, depression and burnout. Since social pressure and the fear of missing something were the most common reasons why so many users are constantly online, this is exactly where we need to start.

The key is stress competence. It needs development and support. However, this is only possible once the individual has recognised how digitalisation affects him or her and how it influences his or her actions. This requires appropriate information and well-structured training. Neither combination can be found in Europe. The research situation, the view and the experience in Europe are different, therefore we need a transnational learning in the professional exchange, on the search for professional capacity to act. The professional ability to act is shown in the result of "TRIGS" in the form of a multilingual (6 languages), web-based app for the promotion of digital stress competence with the following contents and features:

• Self-reflection tools for the analysis of stress-relevant aspects
• Exercises to promote biopsychosocial stability
• Questionnaire for change measurement and condition recording, stress diary
• interactive guide for the promotion of self discipline
• Direct Intervention: Changing Skills, Behavior & Conditions
• Analysis and cognition: selective recording and evaluation of health-related information (e.g. symptom checker)

The app will be tested with 100 adults of all age groups in 6 countries in schools, companies and multi-generation houses and will be used as an open educational resource. The development of the "TRIGS" app is an attractive answer to a global problem and strengthens the educational, political and personal responsibility of all generations in Europe in the self-determined use of digital media.

EDUCOMMART is responsible for the dissemination of this 2-year Erasmus+ project, with the participation of 5 other European partner organisations. Furthermore, the dissemination reports of all partners are requested at short intervals from EDUCOMMART, documented and evaluated at the end of the project.

Distance learning // homeschooling - a lot is demanded of parents during the Corona crisis. However, many are unable to provide their children with the support they need due to socio-economic disadvantage and a lack of digital skills.

When we work with young people, especially young, educationally disadvantaged and / or socio-economically disadvantaged families, we know that they often need help with similar issues.

The aim of our project is to show different solutions in a European comparison, which will be published in an online article, a guide and a number of methods and will be freely accessible to all interested parties. With this the main goal of an additional professionalization of our organizations has been achieved. Not only do the individual organizations benefit from European exchange, but families can also get the feeling that other people in Europe are similar to themselves.

EDUCOMMART is among other things responsible for the organisation of training events in Greece.

The family is the smallest system in European society, the starting point for democracy building and social change, and therefore deserves special support. We know from our previous project that families across Europe are in conflict about similar issues, that almost everyone is "stuck" in the same places. There we have exchanged ideas in a consortium of DE, AT, BG, ES and GR, collected the results and prepared them for publication.

In "Europarents 2020" we will be building on these results: we will first carry out a survey in order to be able to orientate our further steps exactly to the needs of parents. We will then work together to develop a game that facilitates and stimulates communication on difficult issues in families. Experience shows that many parents are already relieved when they realize that they are not alone with their problems. With the game to be developed, they can not only get a feeling for the fact that some topics affect families throughout Europe, but also come into direct contact with approaches from other countries and can reflect on them in a playful way.

Furthermore, the needs analysis, the further exchange and the joint development of the game will lead to an additional professionalisation of our organisations. One target group are also the employees of the organisations who, through their work and finally through the distribution of the game in the vicinity of the organisation, will carry the results into the target group of parents and families. In this way, not only the individual organisations benefit from the European exchange, but also the families can get a feeling that other people in Europe are similar to themselves, a feeling for the European community, and at the same time find new solutions for family conflicts.

In previous projects in which the individual organisations have worked together, everyone had the impression that "Europe works best on a small scale" - direct human contact, and, where this is not possible, the knowledge that families are similar throughout Europe, leads to mutual understanding and sympathy across national borders, which nowadays are threatening to become stronger again.

educommart is participating in a "network of cities" together with the municipality of Kifissia on the theme european unity. Under the leadership of educommart in Athens (Kifissia), there will be exchanges with the cities of Kifissia, Pleven, Timisoara and Lüneburg.

Europe and its values are a great asset: human dignity, freedom and solidarity. They have been achieved with courage and commitment – 30 years of reunification and democratic change in Eastern Europe.

The current challenges facing Europe as a result of populism, nationalism and racism will be tackled by the UNITY project together with citizens. Various innovative methods serve this purpose: With eyewitness workshops, citizens exchange information across generations about the time of the junta, dictatorships and over 30 years of European "UNITY". The values of UNITY in diversity, human dignity and solidarity are also expressed in the essays and poems of citizens, which are recited in public places in every city during balcony speeches.

The Prοject aims to bring together different generations and citizens of different classes and social backgrounds to discuss the current challenges facing Europe.

educommart – with the support of the Municipality of Kifissia - will carry out activities of national and international character to inform and involve citizens, to find solutions and to better address the challenges that threaten Europe.

The family is the smallest system in society, the starting point for education for democracy and social change, and therefore deserves special support. In Germany 49% of marriages are divorced again, in Belgium 71%, Europe-wide 44% (https://fowid.de/meldung/scheidungsquoten-deutschland-undwelt).

After separation or divorce, families often face the problem of how to the interaction of underage children with their parents, which can be arranged for all is emotionally sustainable and at the same time suitable for everyday use. Consultants for families are constantly reaching their limits, which are highly conflictual parental relationship and the legal regulations are given are. The ones who suffer are often the children, whose wishes and needs cannot be entered into optimally, as there is only a very manageable Choice of different contact models and support in Germany there.

In this project, we compare models of behaviour in Germany, Greece, Italy, Austria, Slovenia and Belgium to give new impetus to the to get advice on separation and divorce and to to be able to pass on to decision-makers. What are the legal regulations in other parts of Europe and how these can be implemented in the counselling practice implement? What works well, what can we learn from each other and better to ensure the well-being of Europe's children, also in the difficult separation situation? How can we make parents aware of their educational responsibility again and to help them, to make competent decisions?

Many of the partner organisations have already been allowed in previous projects experience how enriching and helpful European exchanges are for can be the daily counselling practice. The direct target group is thus the Employees of the organisations who, through their work into their networks as well as into the indirect target group of parents and families will wear. A written summary and a position paper are planned as tangible results that are communicated to social workers, stakeholders and relevant politicians can be passed on.

In this way, not only the individual organisations and their networks benefit from European exchange, families can also get a feel for it, that other people in Europe are as well off as they are, the feeling for the European Community. In previous projects where the individual organisations, all felt that "Europe in the small things work best" - direct human contact, and where this is not possible, the knowledge that families are similar throughout Europe leads to mutual understanding and sympathy across national borders, which are threatening to solidify again today. The view over the edge of the own country is nowadays indispensable to ensure that in a united Europe improve social work, support families in crisis situations and to help children and young people.

The Project „NEW Schuman Declaration – Cross-Generational Conversation about a NEW Europe“ aims to generate ideas for the future of the European Union. It will link the past and the present to give young Europeans a powerful tool for building the future. The instrument is the memories and lessons of the past 70 years. Talking to contemporaries of the 1950 Schuman Declaration, of their country’s admission to the EU and of the changes in Central and Eastern Europe after 1990, young people will add to the lines of history textbooks the experience of „ordinary“ people. They will also become familiar with the full text of the Schuman Declaration, which everyone has heard of, but few have read.

On May 9, we will announce an essay contest „My Schuman Declaration“. We’ll introduce young Europeans to the human rights set out in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights (2000). The rights - dignity, freedoms, equality, solidarity, citizenship, justice - seem indisputable. But in all four countries involved in the project, there’ve been periods of their suppression. This must be known and remembered so as not to be repeated.

The „New Schuman Declaration - cross-generational conversation for a New Europe“ project activities will be implemented in the 4 countries of the consortium: Bulgaria, Greece, Spain and Poland, in these cities respectively: Pleven, Athens, Granada, Warsaw. This will bring together participants from countries with more than 30 years of EU membership with those accepted only 10 or 15 years ago; countries developed under conditions of capitalism and socialism; residents of capitals and of two big, but not metropolitan cities. Our project stands symbolically within the limits of time and space - from the laying of the foundations of the EU in 1950 to the present, and from the external borders of the Union in the four directions of the world - from Bulgaria to Spain, and from Greece to Poland.

The focus group of the project is young people between the ages of 14 and 29, so most of the activities will be held in schools and universities in the 4 countries: cross-generational meetings, flash mobs, puzzle room competitions. We will promote and run online the essay contest „My Schuman Declaration“. This way, participation in it will be accessible to all interested who meet the criteria of the regulations.

The coronavirus pandemic affected the whole world. In Europe, the number of cases reached 42 million and 1 million deaths. Unprecedented measures against the spread of the disease have quarantined hundreds of millions of EU citizens. Now that the spread of the virus appears to be largely under control, it is time to learn from the crisis, and for us all to do our part to ensure that it does not happen again.

According to a recent survey commissioned by the European Parliament and conducted in the second half of June 2020 in the Member States, almost seven out of ten respondents (68%) want a stronger role for the European Union in combating the crisis. More than half (56%) of respondents at pan-European level believe that this requires the EU to have more financial resources, which should be directed mainly to overcoming the consequences of the pandemic on the health and economic sectors.

• To analyze the actions taken in the EU against the pandemic both by countries and by sectors: health, economy and employment, social activities, education, culture, media (fake news);
• To identify, show and promote good examples and practices for dealing with the Covid crisis as manifestations of solidarity at all levels;
• To acquaint citizens, including Eurosceptics, with the actions and role of the European institutions in overcoming the crisis more quickly and successfully;
• To summarize the conclusions from all project activities in a final document - Civil appeal to the EC and EP;
• Creating a strong community of civil society organizations from all participating countries, thus contributing to intercultural dialogue and the presentation of European diversity and unity.
