Quando si presenta un video come gruppo, il video rientra nella categoria di età di chi presenta la candidatura.

I giovani tra i 18 e i 30 anni sono invitati a partecipare al concorso lanciato dalla rete europea ERYICA per progettare il nuovo Marchio Europeo di Qualità dell'Informazione per i Giovani.

Al giorno d'oggi ci sono talmente tante informazioni disponibili su ogni tipo di piattaforma che a volte è difficile capire quali informazioni siano affidabili e quali no. In questo contesto, è importanti far conoscere alle persone, e soprattutto ai giovani, i diversi metodi per riconoscere facilmente le fonti affidabili ed essere critici nei confronti delle informazioni che leggono. Il Marchio Europeo di Qualità dell'Informazione per i Giovani intende affrontare questa sfida fornendo un segno visibile che indichi ai giovani che una determinata informazione è vera e imparziale e non richiede ulteriori verifiche.

Chi può partecipare:
- chiunque abbia tra i 18 e i 30 anni;
- cittadino o residente di uno Stato membro del Consiglio d'Europa.

Come partecipare
Dovrete creare la rappresentazione visiva del Marchio Europeo di Qualità dell'Informazione per i Giovani. Il Marchio deve essere un logo o un'icona, adatto ad essere visualizzato sui servizi di informazione per i giovani e sui prodotti informativi. Dovrà essere un'immagine facile da riconoscere e adatta ai giovani, che trasmetta l'affidabilità delle informazioni che certifica in tutta Europa.

È possibile scegliere qualsiasi tecnica che si ritiene possa essere utile per i servizi e i prodotti informativi per i giovani. Si può scattare una foto, creare un'illustrazione in digitale, disegnare a mano su carta o utilizzare solo testo. 

E’ necessario compilare il modulo e inviare il proprio lavoro in formato grafico vettoriale e in alta risoluzione adatto alla stampa. È possibile presentare fino a tre lavori.

ERYICA e il suo gruppo di lavoro sul Marchio di Qualità sceglieranno un vincitore e utilizzeranno quella grafica come logo Marchio Europeo di Qualità dell'Informazione per i Giovani. Inoltre, i promotori sceglieranno un secondo concorrente con una creazione eccezionale.

The aim of the programme is to bring together school children for a day trip in Strasbourg. A group of about 500 secondary-school pupils, usually from the same age group, is invited to spend a day thinking together about the effects that European integration will have on their future.

Aims

• To give young people an insight into the workings of the European Parliament;
• To give young people a taste of Europe in a day of meetings and discussion on topical European subjects;
• To make them aware of what is meant by democratic commitement.

Actions:

• The pupils have to make full use of their knowledge of languages in order to communicate with their opposite numbers from the other European countries, since interpretation is limited;
• Public discussions in a foreign language;
• multilingual working parties.

Launched by the Erasmus Student Network, the Social Inclusion and Engagement in Mobility Surveys aim to analyse how diverse the participation in the Erasmus+ programme is, to see if students from disadvantaged backgrounds take part and if they have different experiences than their more advantaged peers.

Student Survey Inclusive Mobility
This survey aims to explore the challenges students experience before, during or after their mobility with regards to finances, support structures, integration on campus and discrimination.
What motivated them to go on exchange, and what hindered them from going on exchange and also the impact their exchange had on their personality and career prospects.
Students are invited to participate and get the chance to win an Interrail Global Pass or an Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2.

The survey focuses on seven specific areas:

1. Education Background
2. Mobility Experience
3. Mobility Support
4. Barriers to Mobility
5. Enablers of Mobility
6. Graduate Experience
7. Personal Characteristics.

The survey is open until 31 May 2020.

University Staff Survey Inclusive Mobility
This survey aims to explore how mobility programmes are organised across Europe, to explore how students are supported to access mobility programmes and to map different stakeholders involved in supporting a mobility experience for students.

The survey is open until 31 May 2020.

Lansate de Erasmus Student Network, Sondajele privind incluziunea socială și implicarea în cadrul mobilităților vizează analizarea diversității participării în cadrul programului Erasmus+, pentru a vedea dacă participă studenți din medii defavorizate și dacă au experiențe diferite față de colegii lor.

Sondaj privind mobilitatea incluzivă care se adresează studenților

Acest sondaj își propune să exploreze provocările cu care studenții se confruntă înainte, în timpul sau după mobilitate privind finanțarea, structurile de sprijin, integrarea în campus și discriminarea.

Ce i-a motivat să participe la mobilitate, ce i-a împiedicat să continue să participe la mobilitate și, de asemenea, impactul pe care mobilitatea la care au participat a avut-o asupra personalității și perspectivelor lor de carieră.

Studenții sunt invitați să participe și pot astfel să câștige un permis Interrail Global Pass sau o boxă portabilă Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2.

Sondajul se concentrează pe șapte domenii specifice:

1. Context educațional

2. Experiență de mobilitate

3. Sprijin pentru mobilitate

4. Bariere în mobilitate

5. Factori de mobilitate

6. Experiența absolvenților

7. Caracteristici personale.

Sondajul este deschis până la data de 31 mai 2020.

Sondaj privind mobilitatea incluzivă care se adresează personalului universitar

Acest sondaj își propune să exploreze modul în care programele de mobilitate sunt organizate în Europa, să exploreze modul în care studenții sunt susținuți să acceseze programe de mobilitate și să identifice diferite părți interesate implicate în susținerea unei experiențe de mobilitate pentru studenți.

Sondajul este deschis până la data de 31 mai 2020.

Ogni squadra viaggerà su una rotta specifica: la Route A (dall'Irlanda a Cipro) e la Route B (dalla Finlandia alle Isole Canarie).
