Since October 2020, we have been working on the Erasmus+ project “Digi-Ageing: overcoming loneliness” in the framework of an international consortium, with the aim of creating a comprehensive idea to tackle the phenomenon of “loneliness in old age” with appropriate measures. One of the main objectives is to increase capacities in the use of innovative digital tools in the field of elderly care and to create a strong network that develops common solutions.
We are happy to inform you that on July 13th from 11.00-15.00 we are organizing an information day at the University of Cyprus, during which we will present the practices and digital tools developed in the context of the project.

On the 16th Of June 2023 the University of Cyprus hosted their Multiplier Event for the Erasmus+ Project DIPHE at the social activities building of the new UCY campus in Nicosia.
The Multiplier Event was led by Mr. Raymond Sweeney, CEO of IKKAIDO UK who is the coordinator of this project and has great expertise in the fields of Martial Arts and inclusive teaching practices.
The event was attended by 27 attendees from the field of Martial Arts, including many coaches, trainers, teachers and owners of Martial Art schools in Cyprus.
The event was split into a morning session and an afternoon session.
The morning session focused on introducing the project, its outcomes and its success. Then the attendees were given examples and demonstrations of inclusive teaching practices and they engaged in group activities. One such activity stood out, in which participants were asked to take a conventional sport, game or activity and adapt it to be more inclusive for specific groups. In contrast with popular inclusivity approaches, in our event the participants did not take an activity and alter it to cater only to a specific group of people (like the Paralympic games do). Instead, they were asked to tweak it and make it properly inclusive in such a way that both disabled and non-disabled can engage simultaneously alike without losing the character of the game. This is what we call inclusive inclusion.
The afternoon session took place at a judo class in the athletic facilities of the University Of Cyprus. An introduction of the project was given at the start, and afterwards the participants of the judo class joined a number of inclusive games similar to the morning sessions and were taught about the importance of inclusivity in martial arts in a physically engaging way.

The second result of our project RuralPlus is nearing completion. This project result concerns the development of a training program for trainers and mentors who offer advice to citizens, mainly in rural areas.
The program will have a hybrid nature and be delivered both in face-to-face and online fashion.
It aims to enable participants to acquire key competencies for work and daily life, but most importantly to teach them skills and abilities to increase their employability opportunities in rural economic activities other than traditional agriculture.
Our training program focuses on 16 key skills, including but not limited to Risk Management, Self-Control, Proactivity, Coordination Capacity, Adaptability and Innovation.

On the 31st of May 2023, the consortium of our project RuralPlus attended with physical presence the project’s third Transnational Project Meeting which took place at the offices of HIESE, in the rural community of Penela in central Portugal.
The meeting was attended by two participants form the University of Cyprus with physical presence and two online participants.
During the TPM the partners reflected upon the completion of Project Result 1, which related to the informational infographics and videos of 5 EU-funded programs.
The team also discussed the progress of the ongoing Result 2, which is the training material for mentors, and also introduced the third and final Result: The creation of a MOOC -Massive Open Online Course- for trainers and adults as well as the creation of an app for our project.
In the rural community of Penela, viticulture is a popular occupation for many residents. Winemaking is a strong economic activity in the local area as well as the rest of Portugal. Multiple Portuguese wineries and vineyards are hundreds of years old, and the wine culture is a source of tourism.
During the meeting, partners were given a tour of a local winery, where the owners explained the significance of winemaking for this area and the importance of its promotion through our project, and offered local wines for tasting to the RuralPlus consortium.
