In the current times of economic turbulence and market shortcomings, where the majority of EU citizens are struggling to manage major social and personal financial challenges.

The escalating numbers of low income and unemployed young adults (18-35) constitute not only a current problem, but it’s a challenge to be dealt with in the years to come. This group of EU citizens is one of the largest disadvantaged groups in the European society, constituting almost the 35% (over 40% for some EU countries) of the total young adults in Europe.

In the current times of economic turbulence and market shortcomings, where the majority of EU citizens are struggling to manage major social and personal financial challenges.

In the current times of economic turbulence and market shortcomings, where the majority of EU citizens are struggling to manage major social and personal financial challenges, there is an immediate need for the development of EU citizens’ financial literacy competencies.

The objective of the project was to support persons with international protection status to be successfully integrated in the local Cyprus labour market and the local society, through vocational training programs. Training courses were developed and delivered courses to more than 200 members of the target group in areas like entrepreneurship, mentorship, train the trainer, basic computer skills, and employment skills.

The main focus of this project was to evaluate teacher ICT-related professional development and to examine the magnitude of integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in learning. The evaluation team assessed the effectiveness of teacher training, quality of material and the extent and value of integrating ICT in the learning process based on in-depth case studies of classrooms and teachers.
