The specific objective of TOURISTABLE is to create an innovative training model that allows the VET sector to meet the needs of the labor market while also addressing issues of inclusion and innovation in the tourism sector. Formal and informal learning environments play a fundamental role in stimulating participation in social and cultural life, helping people with disabilities reach their potential.

The project aims to improve the VET system in the High and Special Complexity Teams (TASC, HSC in English) sector through an innovative, highly replicable (OG) VET model. The project focuses on improving the skills of professionals involved in managing TASC Funding and Tenders, ensuring high standards of quality, innovation, multidisciplinarity, and market awareness (OS). The concept of High and Special Complexity Teams is defined as those teams that include a portion (minority or prevalent) of human resources with various types of complexities : psychiatric disorders, physical or cognitive disabilities at various levels of functioning, mental distress, and other Special Needs, and are linked to the employment inclusion of vulnerable individuals.

Its specific objective is to enhance the well-being of 60 people with intellectual disabilities, mental health disorders and other fragilities in the target communities by developing and implementing an innovative tango-based inclusion model, which has useful implications within the target population by improving physical and mental health outcomes.

Upon arrival and in the very early stages of the integration process, migrants encounter many difficulties in their social integration in an unfamiliar country. They are unaware of their benefits and rights concluding in the fact that there are still many discrepancies and gaps in EU Member States (MS) concerning the access of migrants to basic health services and rights and on the other hand, migration crisis in relation with the pandemic crisis of Covid-19 deteriorated more the problems of the effective integration and inclusion of migrants in the host countries. Since the beginning of the Global Pandemic, Covid-19 and the serious problems and consequences in all countries globally, healthcare systems have been much overstretched and migrants didn’t and still don’t receive the proper support or information they need to their health rights. Addressing the challenges that migrants face upon and after their arrival is crucial and especially to know and expect their basic health rights as Covid-19 continues to cause hardship.

SENSin is an innovation lab that will target transnational symbiotic collaborations and audience engagement through exploring holistically the senses. The project will involve conceptual investigation into enhancing audience experiences along with developing specific methodologies on creative collaborations and communication of artistic purpose.

The Creative & Cultural Sector have been hit for the past year and a half. With this project we want to assist in the resilience effort, bringing an attitude towards creativity and reinforcing exploration and experimentation in transnational and transcultural collaborations. We are proposing a project that will benefit both the creatively distant audiences and the creatives/culture professionals while at the same time engaging with inclusion practices, thus revolutionizing experiences from a sensory perspective. We propose a project that focuses on engaging audiences in a wider spectrum with bringing in the foreground inclusion for people with sensory disabilities.
