Out of the Box International is looking for two experts to join the team in the implementation of two new exciting projects: SLUSIK and CI-You.
Subject: Development of project outputs
Project title: “Service Learning Upscaling Social Inclusion for Kids” (SLUSIK)
Assignment period: 1/4/2021 – 30/11/2022
Project description:
The purpose of the project SLUSIK is to promote and support social inclusion by enhancing the acquisition of social and civic competences and fostering knowledge, understanding and ownership of values and fundamental rights in school leavers. The 7 partners have decided to address this topic and theme due to a needs analysis undertaken as part of their experience and practice in engaging with young people in the formal and non-formal education sectors. The needs analysis shows that the lack of social and civic competencies amongst school leavers, and especially early school leavers, severely limits their capacity to become socially included adults. Service learning in higher education with a strong civic education component has proven to be effective at enhancing social and civic competencies.
Activities:
– Collaboration on publications with responsible partners
– Piloting Phase implementation
– Reporting
– Dissemination activities
