GREENLAND: NEETs profiling and roadmap report
This report has been prepared on behalf of nine partners working in seven countries (Italy, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Palestine, Portugal, Greece) under the GREENLAND project. It aims to map the Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEETs) and develop a roadmap focused on the potential of enhancing their employability within the Green and Circular Economy (GaCE), while providing equal opportunities to both genders. The analysis is based on a first phase that focused on a Labor Market Analysis to identify sectors with the greatest potential for economic growth and for offering employment opportunities; a second phase that focused on compiling a database of NEETs and women on the one hand and SMEs and other companies on the other hand in relevance to project actions; a third and final phase that provides a roadmap and recommendations for training courses that have the potential to bridge NEETs to the labor market while promoting a GaCE.
GREENLAND: deepened labour market analysis report
This study, implemented under the GREENLAND project, falls within the broader scope of a Market Analysis and Data Profiling assignment and constitutes the first phase. The overall aim of this phase is to identify sectors with the greatest potential for economic growth and for offering employment opportunities for the Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEETs) and Women within Green and Circular Economies (GaCEs), reducing the mismatch between their skills and the labor market. A closer look at the economies of the seven addressed countries (Italy, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Palestine, Portugal, Greece) highlights the worrying trends while simultaneously accentuating a potential for the promotion of social inclusion and fight against poverty through providing young people (especially NEETs) and women with marketable skills.
SIRCLES Good Practices Booklet: Supporting Circular Economy Opportunities for Employment and Social Inclusion
SIRCLES is a consortium of 7 Mediterranean countries (Spain, Greece, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia, Italy) led by the Waste Agency of Catalonia, and with 9 partners. These partners have applied different approaches adapted to the situation of each region, but sharing the same goal: the creation of job opportunities within the unemployed young people and women at risk of social exclusion.
The good practices booklet shows:
1. The composting area in Vila-seca, Spain
2. The composting area in Andros, Greece
3. The composting plant in Beitello, Palestine
4. The composting area in Aqaba, Jordan
5. The composting area in Hbaline, Lebanon
6. The composting area in Bizerte, Tunisia
7. The sensitizing campaign in Puglia, Italy
SIRCLES guideline of best practices for successful biowaste recycling
This document lists best practices linked to the separate collection and management of organic waste. It has been prepared with the support of all partners of the SIRCLES project in order to define innovative management plans and NEETs and women engagement in biowaste collection and treatment.
SIRCLES policy toolkit for circular economy employment and training
SIRCLES project aimed to develop skills and favour new job opportunities in the circular economy sector, in the biowaste one, providing marketable opportunities especially for NEET & Women in the involved target areas (Spain, Greece, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia, Italy). The planned pilots for biowaste processing have been implemented according to the Life Cycle Thinking approach and breaking down the process into different phases. The development of capacities along with job insertion and the engagement of local entities aimed to ensure sustainability beyond the project duration.
This toolkit is organised into four chapters: the chapter 1 delves into the SIRCLES model for biowaste, highlighting its importance and potential in achieving circularity; chapter 2 analyses the work context and methodology, providing insights into the research environment and the methods employed in the study; chapter 3 includes a section on the pilots conducted by SIRCLES, presenting the lessons learned from these practical implementations. Finally, chapter 4 offers potential future scenarios and proposes policy measures that can support and enhance the implementation of the SIRCLES model in various contexts.
SIRCLES composting pilot sites in Spain, Greece, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia
The objective of SIRCLES project is to promote the social and labour inclusion of people at risk of social exclusion, by providing them with skills and jobs in the organic waste management sector. During the project, NEETs and women at risk of social exclusion in the project areas (Spain, Greece, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia, Italy) received training in composting. Subsequently, some of them were hired to work at the SIRCLES composting areas. The following documents illustrate the activities carried out and the results achieved in the countries involved.
HELIOS CASE STUDY: Best practices in tackling social exclusion in the Mediterranean region
This publication is the result of the work conducted by the Italian project coordinator ARCES University College of Merit, under the leadership of Mr. Alessandro Pernice and Ms. Broni Hornsby.
The whole publication is the result of a constant comparison with the project partners and it reflects the lessons learned from the project.
In short, the publication aims to:
• Identify and analyse people who are Not in Employment, Education or Training (NEET)s profiling methodology, the Blue and Circular Economy (BaCE) profiling methodology and results of the profiling process
• Describe in detail the e-learning platform and the communication strategy, the results of the HELIOS training program and finally the importance of the Murals
• Show some case studies of the partner's work across different sectors (organic farming, hydroponics, aquaponics, circular food processing, waste management, recycling and reusing, etc.) to provide further insight into what the project consortium has done.
• Illustrate some experience of the participants who attended the training courses and traineeships in companies operating in the BaCE sectors
• Explain the approach followed within the project consortium which seeks to standardize best practices and to allow project results to be cascaded to other Mediterranean countries (outside the project partnership) severely affected by high NEET rates.
FFN-ii: Location Aware System Deployment in the two Experimental Sites
The objective of this output is to provide information about the various tasks that took place during the 2nd cultivation period (Semesters V-VI) in the two experimental sites of the project aiming to verify the good performance of the e-traps, as well as to test the new functionalities and ensure the good operation of the e-services in the large-area sites. To accomplish the full deployment of the Location Aware (LA) products, the olive and Med e-traps were tested in both sites to satisfy all the evaluation criteria set for the full operation. Noteworthy, the OliveFlyNet was tested in Greece by the Agricultural University of Athens (AUA) and the MedFlyNet in Italy by the University of Molise (UNIMOL). The results for both types of the e-traps tested in the two experimental fields showed very good performance in terms of battery charge level and signal reception.
The e-services of adults’ population distribution map, infestation risk map and spray density map creation were tested by AUA in its experimental site to validate its functionalities in the new environment. A new e-service was developed and tested regarding the automatic digitalization of trees, that is an e-service which facilitates the implementation of the system. An additional e-service which gives the ability to the system to identify the optimum position for placing each trap in each area with olive groves was developed and tested too, so that to rationalize the approaches used. The two new e-services were implemented successfully whereas the updated software was able to produce all the different kind of maps required for the full implementation of the LA e-services.
Finally, a detection and count machine learning test for the case med fruit fly pest was also studied by UNIMOL. Tests related to the automatic recognition of medfly catches in the e-trap were also conducted and showed a very food response.
