Finally, it has the objective of empowering the relation between HEIs and the wider economic and social environment.

The 3rd Work package of the TRIGGER project refers to the Establishment/Enhancement of the Careers, Employability and Enterprise Services (CEES) and aims at promoting graduate’s employability in cooperation with employers. Additionally, it aims to implement capacity building of HEI teaching staff and companies’ trainers, to organize entrepreneurial learning and support the acquisition of related skills and competences, by the students that participate in internships based on EnteMode model.

Entrepreneurial Education Strengthening Resilience, Societal Change and Sustainability
Entrepreneurship education equips learners with competencies to manage the challenging circumstances inherent in entrepreneurial activity. One such competency is resilience, the capacity to address, adapt to, and overcome adversity, uncertainty, and change.

The recent occurrence of many different adversities – financial, environmental, migration crises and current pandemic crises – has strongly affected the economically active part of the countries and regions – business sector and entrepreneurs. Countries and regions are not prepared for prompt response; the adequate measures are missing. To build a resilient and sustainable community, it is important that all the regional key players, entrepreneurs among others, have sufficient knowledge and skills on crises and instability management which can limit the potential threat and impact of some disasters.

Therefore, Erasmus+ project ReFace –“Regions facing...Entrepreneurial Education Strengthening Resilience, Societal Change and Sustainability
Entrepreneurship education equips learners with competencies to manage the challenging circumstances inherent in entrepreneurial activity. One such competency is resilience, the capacity to address, adapt to, and overcome adversity, uncertainty, and change.

The recent occurrence of many different adversities – financial, environmental, migration crises and current pandemic crises – has strongly affected the economically active part of the countries and regions – business sector and entrepreneurs. Countries and regions are not prepared for prompt response; the adequate measures are missing. To build a resilient and sustainable community, it is important that all the regional key players, entrepreneurs among others, have sufficient knowledge and skills on crises and instability management which can limit the potential threat and impact of some disasters.

Therefore, Erasmus+ project ReFace –“Regions facing shocks: building resilient communities” (2020-1-SK01-KA202-078307) was proposed. Within the project, the responsiveness and optimal reactions of regional key players and public administrators will be enhanced by newly developed ReFace MOOC and raising awareness in the area of regional proactive approach to crises and shocks. In order to promote proactive approach to crises, the practical tools/road map for building resilient regions to respond to local and national challenges will be created.

It enhances the network creations which will bring together a group of experts to investigate what regions matter now, what constitutes resilience in the face of challenges, and what factors help to build and sustain strong regions. The project will create an arena where the business sector, academia, municipalities and government agencies meet to solve regional challenges. Together they can build a more resilient society with robust functions and flows – a society with the ability to quickly overcome and recover from societal pressures and with ability to assure the security of its inhabitants.

The databases on different types of the R&D projects and educational projects have been investigated before ReFace project proposal preparation. The several projects have been found dealing with sustainability or climate change impact but most of them were oriented on particular sector and not on resilient regions building which require proactive and horizontal approach through variety of disciplines. The concept is new and well explained at academic level but with limited transfer to regional key players and practitioners in the area of regional development so far.

FAVILLE: INVITATION TO PILOT TESTING

FAVILLE: Facilitators of virtual learning aims to enhance the quality standards of facilitation in virtual learning environments and to provide skills and competences that facilitators of virtual learning need to develop or improve their activity.

EXPECTED RESULTS, currently in piloting:
*Modular e-learning program for virtual learning facilitators
*A digital application that, in addition to describing individual facilitation methods and examples of their use, also offers an easy-to-use function to select appropriate methods according to the parameters (eg profile, course subject, number of students in the learning group, type of problem, etc.)
*A framework for validating skills and competences for obtaining professional qualifications for those facilitators who have acquired their skills, knowledge and competences outside the formal learning process in non-formal and informal learning.
