SIMPLE Project Raises Awareness at Key Local Events in Málaga

/

The SIMPLE project continues to strengthen its visibility and outreach through active participation in relevant local events aimed at promoting innovation, inclusion, and social engagement. As part of its dissemination activities, the project was presented at two major events held in Málaga (Spain), reaching diverse audiences and reinforcing its commitment to social impact. Opportunity Morning 2025 The SIMPLE project was showcased on October 30th at Opportunity Morning 2025, an event hosted at Mangas Verdes and organised by Asociación Arrabal-AID, which brought together around 800 young people interested in new technologies, artificial intelligence, and dual vocational training. During the event, IT Solutions For All, partner organisation of the SIMPLE project, hosted an information stand where attendees were introduced to the organisation’s mission and activities. Visitors to the stand received detailed information about the SIMPLE project, its objectives, and its role in social innovation. The stand served as a direct point of contact with young participants, encouraging dialogue and raising awareness of the opportunities offered by the project. XXI Málaga Voluntaria Awards Gala The SIMPLE project was also promoted on December 4th, 2025, at the XXI Málaga Voluntaria Awards Gala, an event organised by Málaga City Council to recognise and celebrate volunteering initiatives across the city. Representatives of the project attended the gala and distributed informational leaflets about SIMPLE among attendees. This activity allowed the project to reach a broad audience of institutional representatives, volunteers, and organisations involved in social action, further strengthening its visibility within the local volunteering and social innovation ecosystem. Through its participation in these two events, the SIMPLE project continues to expand its dissemination efforts, engage with key stakeholders, and promote its values of inclusion, collaboration, and refugee empowerment.

SIMPLE concludes Work Package 2 and sets the stage for the next phase of activities

/

The SIMPLE project has concluded Work Package 2 (WP2), laying the foundation for a scalable and transferable model to support the labour market integration and social inclusion of Ukrainian refugees across Europe. As part of WP2, the consortium conducted a comprehensive mapping of over 80 social innovation initiatives across Europe. The selection included projects supported by EU programmes – such as EaSI, Urban Innovative Actions (UIA), Erasmus+, and Interreg – as well as national and regional initiatives from partner countries. This mapping aimed to identify both inspiring practices and systemic challenges in the fields of integration, employment, and inclusion. The complete repository of mapped initiatives is accessible here: https://simpleinnovation.eu/repository.php?lang=EN From this broader repository, the consortium extracted 13 best practices that were particularly well-documented, impactful, and aligned with the SIMPLE project’s objectives. These are analysed in depth in another key project deliverable: The Social Innovation Compendium, available at: https://simpleinnovation.eu/assessment.php?lang=EN Among the 13, three model initiatives were selected as the primary inspiration for the development of SIMPLE’s Theory of Change: The Theory of Change, available on the project website, outlines how the SIMPLE model is expected to generate meaningful and sustainable impact. Drawing on selected elements of the three model initiatives, it proposes an adaptable, modular approach that can be tailored to diverse national and local contexts.  This Theory of Change will serve as the foundation for the stakeholders’ engagement activities to be performed in all partner countries under WP3 and pilot actions to be carried out in Poland and Italy under WP4. In these two countries, partners will: In Poland, the focus will be on employment activation, while in Italy, activities will revolve around empowerment and entrepreneurship pathways. Both pilots will be closely monitored to assess short-term and longer-term changes in participants’ inclusion and integration trajectories. SIMPLE is co-funded by the European Union under the ESF+ programme. The project brings together partners from Italy, Poland, Spain, Belgium, Croatia, and Hungary to co-design, pilot, and promote sustainable models for inclusion, employment, and community empowerment.

AI VET Launches to Equip Educators for the Future: A New European Initiative Brings AI Training to VET

/

The AI VET project offers practical and inclusive resources for vocational education professionals across Europe. The European project AI VET has officially launched, marking an important step forward in helping educators across Europe prepare for the future of work. At a time when digitalisation and artificial intelligence are reshaping labour markets at unprecedented speed, the project aims to provide vocational education and training (VET) professionals with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to adapt—and lead. AI VET is built on a simple idea: teachers and trainers shouldn’t need to be AI experts to prepare students for an AI-powered world. What they do need are the right tools—clear, accessible, and relevant to their context. That’s where this project comes in. Across Europe, VET providers are facing a growing pressure to update training offers in line with emerging skills. Traditional qualifications and feedback mechanisms often lag behind market demands. Teachers are looking for support—not just in understanding what AI is, but in knowing how to use it practically, ethically, and confidently in the classroom. To address this, the AI VET consortium brings together seven partners from Spain, Italy, Poland, and Belgium, including VET schools, NGOs, SMEs, and e-learning specialists. Together, they are co-developing tools and resources designed specifically for non-expert educators working in a fast-changing environment. An education platform for teachers, built by beachers At the heart of the project is the AI VET digital platform, now officially online: www.aivet-training.eu The platform serves as a multilingual hub where users can access a growing library of open-access training content. All materials are available in English, Spanish, Italian, and Polish, and have been designed with beginner users in mind. Visitors to the platform can already explore: Everything is open, free, and ready to use—whether you are a VET trainer, a curriculum designer, or a policy stakeholder. What’s Coming Next Over the course of the project, the AI VET platform will host seven training modules, covering topics such as: Each module is structured around learning outcomes, real-life case studies, and references to key digital and entrepreneurial competence frameworks, ensuring that the material is both pedagogically sound and practically useful. As the project progresses, these resources will be tested, validated, and shared with stakeholders across the education and training landscape—with the goal of promoting large-scale uptake and long-term sustainability. AI VET is more than a training project—it is a shared European response to a shared European challenge. By empowering educators with the tools to navigate change, it also empowers learners to thrive in the digital future. For more information or to explore the platform, visit:👉 www.aivet-training.eu
