A YEAR BETTER
A YEAR BETTER (AYB) is an European project co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme in the framework of the Key Action 2 – Cooperation partnerships in the field of Adult Education. It focuses on empowering seniors by enhancing their digital skills and promoting active ageing.

AIVET: “Artificial Intelligence for VET providers” is dedicated to driving innovation in the VET ecosystem by introducing VET providers to cutting-edge AI technologies. Our goal is to empower learners with new skills and knowledge, promote lifelong learning, and enhance the attractiveness of vocational education in the broader educational landscape. By harnessing AI, AIVET aims to boost the effectiveness and efficiency of VET through personalized learning experiences, automation of routine tasks, data analysis, and realistic simulations, aligning vocational training with the demands of the digital age.
The Hypatia project aims to develop a high-impact awareness-raising program on the phenomenon of the Gender Digital Gap, with particular attention to the most vulnerable women, such as “housemakers.” These women, often victims of online violence, are underrepresented in gender equality policies and the promotion of digitalization. The project includes the creation of an innovative and interactive OER platforma to provide basic digital skills to “housemakers,” also addressing the risks and pitfalls of new technologies, such as online gender-based violence, which primarily affect the least digitally literate individuals.
Furthermore, Hypatia will develop a digital literacy program for “housemakers” in Italy, Spain, the Czech Republic, and Malta, a report with policy recommendations for decision-makers, and a multimedia awareness campaign aimed at transcending traditional forms of communication

More: Multifunctional role of women as a key driver for rural development.
According to the EU Parliament, the multifunctional role of women is essential to save rural areas in Europe, whose population is expected to shrink to almost 8M by 2050, in contrast with a fast-growing urban population that will reach 24M by 2050. Rural women still face serious disadvantages, compared not only to rural men, but also to urban women.
The MORE project aims to improve the access to, and the quality of, training opportunities and qualifications of rural EU women.
Disk:
Loneliness, isolation and social exclusion are important risk factors that can lead to poor health in older people, especially in the absence of family networks or insufficient family support.
