MMBH Memory Methods Bright Horizons

Written by SuperAdministrator Wednesday, 02 May 2018 15:17

"Research suggests we remember things better and retain them longer when we associate meaning to them using semantic encoding"

Memory Methods involve more than just training. The use of mnemonics (the study and development of systems for improving and assisting the memory) is an ancient art, craft and science practiced around the world. People have been training their memory for thousands of years.

How Memory Works. Memory works by making links between information, fitting facts into mental structures and frameworks. The more you are actively remembering, the more facts and frameworks you hold, the more additional facts and ideas will slot easily into long term memory.

Why Memory Doesn't Work! Memory getting apparently worse is that outside academia information tends not to be as clearly structured as it is in education. Where information drifts in as isolated facts, it will normally be forgotten simply because it is not actively fitted into a mnemonic. Memory, in most people does get worse with age, but only because it is allowed to. By keeping your imagination working, your memory can get better and better as you get older. MMGH Partners will work on and analyse good or bad case studies to question the reasons for success and failure. In addition, partners will take lessons for possible effective applications of the mechanisms underlying them.

Memory, Focus and Good Teaching Can Work Together to Help students Learn Resources to make memorizing key facts more manageable for students with special needs.

EMWOSE Empowering Women from ethnic minorities through Social Enterprise

Written by SuperAdministrator Wednesday, 02 May 2018 15:17

EMWOSE (Empowering Women from ethnic minorities through Social Enterprise) project replies to the following needs:

1)women from ethnic minorities need to be aware of the successful women entrepreneurs as role examples to increase their self-confidence;

2) trainers, social workers and relevant parties need innovative and adapted methodologies to transfer entrepreneurship skills to women from ethnic minorities taking into consideration the cultural barriers;

3) women from ethnic minorities and trainers/social workers/business advisors need to have access to online open educational resources in order to empower themselves according to their needs and their interests.

Considering these needs, the project aims at increasing the employment of women from ethnic minorities providing them the knowledge, practical skills and counseling necessary for engaging the social enterprise world. In order to achieve this ambitious goal, the project’s consortium will deeply take into consideration the barriers that disadvantaged women face: current working conditions, business management skills gaps, lack of adequate mentorship, psychological and cultural obstacles. Therefore the main target groups of the project are: firstly, women from ethnic minorities interested in SE and secondly the trainers, social workers and business advisors that can support them.

WISED Women in Social Enterprise Development

Written by SuperAdministrator Wednesday, 02 May 2018 15:10

Women constitute half of the world population, they are not represented in labour market at the same rate. WISED will focus over the next 2 years to developing social awareness that can foster social innovation. One of the most important aspects of social development is diversity. So, women as a group bring a critical dimension to increase the potential for innovation.

Women have a talent for thinking long term: Women are probably very wired to think in a long term way and that helps to build a protective world, a world that connects and cares, and weaves resources for good and for the future. It doesn't mean that men don't/can't do it, they just have a more linear way of delivering. We need both systems to work well.

DESEM project

www.desemproject.eu/

The DESEM project aims to develop a sexual education model/methodology for mentally disabled individuals. Each activity that constitutes the project content will provide coordinated work of educators/guidance specialists and disabled families, which are the main actors in sexuality education.

Disabled individuals are at the forefront of disadvantaged groups facing many difficulties in social, business, educational life. However, sexual education is one of the most important problems that are overlooked from the most basic problems of disabled people. The concept of sexuality that individuals who are in the process of healthy development due to external factors such as various prejudices and socio-cultural values, learn outside the educational environment in an unofficial way becomes a much more difficult subject when it comes to disabled individuals. However, there is a need for sexuality education that includes specific learning/teaching methods and techniques appropriate to their learning competence so that disabled people can positively behave in the social integration process, protect themselves from possible sexual violence and health risks, and find the sexual identity of disabled people. Therefore, Persons who will play a key role in education should adopt the complementary role of each other, rather than seeing the responsibilities of parents, and school partnerships on sexuality education, and be creating alternatives to each other.

TRAIT Erasmus +

www.trait-erasmusplus.com

TRAIT is a synonym for training transversal skills, it is a strategic partnership funded by the EU under the frame of Ersamus plus (KA 2).

New pedagogical approaches and ICT tools that support development and assessment of transversal skills should

a) increase learners' motivation, and

b) help next-level education institutions and employers to get a better insight into all types of the applicants' learning outcomes, skills/competences and future learning needs.

The overall objective of this project is to create mechanisms that enable development, monitoring and acknowledgement of learners' transversal skills. We will achieve this goal with the help of an innovative blended learning training course based on a detailed descriptive research of the transversal skills approach and importance in 6 European organisations from 5 countries (Romania, Italy,  Czech Republic, Austria and Turkey).

Learning to be happy

www.learningtobehappy.eu

The institutions involved in this “Learning-to-be-Happy” project want to raise awareness of the needs of people in difficult situations due to the socioeconomic crisis. They will make use of their experience and expertise and contribute to build alternative paths and deliver a number of concrete and real alternatives for European citizens in difficulty in order to improve their life conditions.

The 16 project partners will co-operate in the most effective way to reach the highest number of adult European citizens, especially those alienated from education and training, such as early school leavers and the elderly, but also those belonging to other vulnerable groups or suffering from their personal, social and financial situation. They will provide them with some practical solutions to help them overcome what seems to be a hopeless situation for many of them and try to develop their self-esteem.

Mental Issues in job center

www.mentalissues.eu

The economic crisis has an enormous effect of the mental health. The jobless person gets easily in a depressed status and a depressed status can easily result in the loss of his/her job. The job center worker trying to help jobless people is not always prepared to manage and handle mental problems. The job center worker faces mental problems day by day, but in several cases is unable to handle the case in a way with sufficient expertise. This project helps job center workers widening their knowledge on mental issues, and helps job seekers in better observing their needs and requests in this field. The focus of this project is cooperation between vocational education and training and the work of life, developing and disseminating successful training methods. The participants of this project are: vocational schools, job center workers, psychologists, psychiatrists and coaches. The partners have a wide range of expertise, different approaches and methods in their every day work, and professionals with experience.

CLICK - Computers, Languages and Intergenerational Communication in the Kitchen

www.click-grundtvig.com

There are the knowledge fields that are essential for an active European citizen of nowadays: basic computer skills, reading and writing, and foreign languages. More and more things take place on the internet and the basic computer using is a must for everybody.

Elder people are feeling ashamed for not knowing how to deal with modern communication systems and young people are not used to listen to seniors any more. The CLICK-project will invent a way to bring the generations together, to make use of the knowledge of the ancestors as well as the knowledge of the youngsters and to teach them both.
