The RE-MED Community digital platform
The RE-MED Community digital platform is a multicultural space for sharing information resources, training courses, job and internship offers, "Base Experts" skills offers, calls for tenders and events related to RE-MED project. It is also a marketplace that allows the publication of offers of materials and equipment (for sale or rent) related to the management and valorisation of Construction and Demolition Waste.
The RE-MED community mobile application
A mobile application for reporting illegal dumping sites which will create a new relationship between the public sphere and its users. By transmitting the photo and geolocation of the dump he/she encounters in the public space, the citizens is empowered to improve his/her living conditions. This activity will include the design of the application with all partners. Construction, uploading, updating and maintenance will be carried out by Dynedoc.
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.
NDOLLs Decision Making Toolbox (DMT)
As a decision-making procedure for NEXUS stakeholders to solve complex problems related to NEXUS challenges step by step considering available produced information/tested practices through Nexus Driven Open LivingLabs
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.
NEX-LABS Final Comprehensive Report
This final report highlights the main achievements and lessons learned by the NEX-LABS project.The NEX-LABS consortium efforts have laid down a pathway that others can follow, ensuring that the journey towards sustainable development continues well beyond the life of this project.
Skills4Sports A3.3.1 Skills Gap Analysis Report
Skills Gap Analysis Report for the Sports sector helps project partners to determine which skills currently exist in the available NEET (people who are Not in Employment, Education or Training) workforce in comparison with the skills required to have better access to the sports industry employment market. The present report is essential for the next activities of Skills4Sports, as it will include the identification of specific fields/professions, as well as the skills that are in demand and could offer a career path to NEETs of the Mediterranean region. Furthermore, the Skills Gap Analysis report determines the material of the training curricula for sports professionals.
Capitalization Plan
FISH MED NET Capitalization Plan is the guiding document to disseminate the final results and outputs of the project and to capitalize them in order to promote debates and advocacy actions at both regional and Euro-Mediterranean level. The plan provides a comprehensive overview of the capitalization strategy, as well as a roadmap to carry out capitalization actions to be implementedby all project partners. FISH MED NET capitalisation is aimed at consolidating the capital built by the project, with the objectives of making the knowledge and results generated by the project more accessible, improving transfer of knowledge to a wider audience of target groups at Euro-Mediterranean level.
Creating synergies and cooperation with key stakeholders, organizations and projects at EuroMediterranean level, building on existing knowledge and experiences. Within the Capitalization plan, FISH MED NET developed a common brouchure coming from the event, the Blue growth Symposium held in Beirut with the aim to develop joint strategies and initiatives to strengthen alliances, synergies and capitalization strategies between ENI CBC Med projects and other stakeholders in the Blue Economy in the Mediterranean.
