Name of the project: Architecture and Remembrance: the discrimination of architects in Nazi-fascist regimes

Acronym: ARCH MEM

Ongoing project

Lead partner: FOUNDATION OF THE ORDER OF ARCHITECTS LANDSCAPE PLANNERS AND CONSERVATORS OF THE PROVINCE OF MILAN (FOAMI)

Short description

The project intends to recover and enhance the memory of the architects who couldn’t do their job due to discriminatory measures adopted during the nazifascist regimes in Italy, Central Europe and other different countries, sensibilitating either the professional community and the public.

Project goals:

  • to encourage the resource in the intern archives and to stimulate the production of output that can translate for different public information, stories and results of storical and architectonic research target’s.
  • to understand, thanks to a specific research focus, more precisely the dynamics and consequences of Nazi-fascist regimes within a broader framework of historical events, illuminating a hitherto insufficiently investigated piece of history.

Project activities

After an operational project kick-off meeting between the partners, the work method will be supported by research conducted within professional associations, libraries and entities related to Jewish culture.

The situation of the research of the jewish architects and engineering persecution in the second half of the years ‘30 and during the years of the WW2 is incomplete, despite the fact that the number of professionals involved and their level of quality are quite high both in Italy and in Europe. The research proposed by the CDEC partner wants to examine public archives, the ones of the professional orders involved and the historiographical literature that has dealt inorganically with this issue. So far the topic has been treated with limited studies and commemorative works, which will certainly be taken into account. The proposed research will be conducted using the historical method and will make use of the collaboration and the synergy of all the agencies and institutes that have so far dealt with the persecution of Jews in Europe.

Finally they will be realized: a video-documentary, an exhibition about architects affected by discriminatory acts, a graphic novel, and a publication.

Programme and call

Creative Europe Programme, Culture strand – CREA-CULT-2022-COOP call for medium-scale cooperation projects.

Open project 

Brief description

UNLOCK THE CITY! is a culture-driven regeneration project that aims to develop an integrated working method that combines technical-scientific and design-oriented research with theatrical practice, the latter being used as a tool to trigger sustainable development processes in the post-pandemic city.

By operating in places or areas that played a key role for citizenship during the Coronavirus pandemic, the project explores the concept of limit (economic, social, physical, etc.) in the intra and post-pandemic city, on 3 different levels: building (Object), community (Subject), relationship between urban area and theater (Relation).

Ineuropa srl supports FONDAZIONE PICCOLO TEATRO MILANO in the project development and in the overall management and reporting activity.

Objectives

  • to activate processes of urban regeneration guided by culture through the creation of theatrical performances that experience the creative reuse of spaces and environments in 4 European cities, promoting the habitability, accessibility and sustainability of places;
  • to encourage the active participation of different urban subjects (local groups and associations, citizens, students, professionals) in promoting community empowerment through cultural regeneration;
  • to promote integration, international collaboration between artistic-theatrical practices and awareness of urban contexts for academic figures;
  • to promote the dissemination of the experience through an outreach strategy aimed at institutions and the population.

Actions

The project develops surveys on the territory focused on the study of the landscape in the post-pandemic city and preparatory to the creation and realization of 12 theater performances entrusted to several European artists. These activities are linked and implemented by workshops and thematic training courses for university students and contribute to generating qualitative and perceptive growth in terms of habitability, accessibility and sustainability of urban spaces, with particular reference to 4 European cities: Milan, Antwerp, Barcelona, Piatra Neamt. Capillary communication and dissemination actions support the project throughout its duration.

Results

The main expected results are:

  • increasing international cooperation between theatrical and academic institutions;
  • the creativity of artists is put at the service of our communities for their well-being;
  • creation of connections, communication, dialogue and exchange between different stakeholders: academic institutions, students, local communities, local administrators, general public;
  • specific survey on our European cities to identify the criticalities of the places and their possibilities for sustainable development after the pandemic experience;
  • an innovative cultural approach to the regeneration of urban spaces, starting from the 4 cities involved in the project.

Early School Leavers: Drop-in

Program and announcement

Erasmus +, KA2 (Cooperation for Innovation and the Exchange of Good Practices, Strategic Partnerships in the Youth Sector) – 2017 Call, Round 1

Project N ° 2017-1-UK01-KA205-035400

Short description

The project intends to create alternative paths for young people who leave school early (ESL – Early School Leaving) towards social inclusion in order to finally enter the labor market. The innovative aspect is that the project does not seek to reintegrate school dropouts into the formal education system, but focuses on enhancing their self-esteem and supporting them to embark on an alternative path of self-learning.

InEuropa srl is the  partner of the project.

 

Objectives

  • battle discrimination against young people who precociously leave school (who face the risks of unemployment, poverty and social exclusion) and increase their socio-economic inclusion by developing basic and transversal skills;
  • launch a flexible, innovative and youth-led online course for the development of basic and transversal skills, adapted to the needs of young people who have left school early;
  • offer an accessible and integrated tool (e-learning platform and for network actions) and a coherent European methodology for the capacity building of young people, easily applicable and transferable;
  • improve self-respect and self-confidence of young people, developing their skills and testing them for their personal and professional development;
  • increase the recognition of skills acquired and certified through non-formal learning, thus enhancing the competitiveness and employability of young people;
  • transfer, employ and build skills and good practices from successful models of development of key competences of disadvantaged young people across Europe;
  • fill the gap between the world of formal qualifications (acquired through formal education) and the acquisition of informal skills (acquired through informal educational ways as e-learning)
  • offer alternative education and training paths and opportunities, leading the way for a labor market and education for young people with educational disadvantages, which are more inclusive.

Actions

The proposed methodology involves the design and development of an online self-learning platform with gamification elements. The project will follow a holistic approach based on the direct feedback of the young beneficiaries, who will be actively involved in the process of design, development and verification of self-learning platform and will act as ambassadors that “drive” the awareness-raising campaigns on a large scale, with partnership support, with the aim of promoting the new electronic platform and involving its peers.

The project foresees the realization of 6 Intellectual outputs:

IO 1: E-Book “identification and analysis of needs”

IO 2: Development and Accreditation of the training course ”

IO 3: Implementation, development, and coordination of the Platform for Capacity-Building & Networking

IO 4: Training and activation of “Ambassadors” and Dissemination Campaign

IO 5: Guidelines for the realization of Coaching Centers and Support at a national level, towards young people who have abandoned school early, for opportunities for non-formal and informal training.

OI 6: E-book: “Drop-in final report of the project”.

 


Results

The main expected results are:

  • Increased confidence and capacity in young participants (who left school early), reintroducing them into informal and non-formal learning processes, for further development of their skills;
  • Increased awareness and understanding of the long-term positive impacts of informal and non-formal learning processes on the personal and professional life of the young people involved;
  • Increased awareness on the part of young people who have left school early to be closer to their peers who have instead completed a formal educational path;
  • Increased capacity to promote the employability and socio-economic inclusion of young people who have left school early, through shared and innovative informal and non-formal methodologies and tools.
