Transnational Project Meeting and the Diversity Toolkit for employers

Transnational Project Meeting


In November 2021, the members of the Create Future project met for the first time in Mallorca, Spain.  Amadip Esment Foundation, one of the organisations collaborating in this project, was the host for the Transnational Project meeting with the hand of the collaborating organisations such as Live Foundation, from Finland; Inova Consultancy, from the UK; and Cercina, from Portugal. The purpose of the meeting was to come together face to face and talk about the process of the project and the next steps to continue to create support models for participation in future work life. 
During the three-day meeting, we had the opportunity to visit the different locations and facilities of Amadip Esment Foundation. In addition, we talked about the dissemination of the project including how we can make a greater impact on social media, communications sites, blog sites, and other communication tools. On the last day, we had the great opportunity to go live with the Portuguese Radio Nazaré. Pia Törnwall, the coordinator of the project, from Live Foundation and Ana Pouseiro, from Cercina had the pleasure to talk about the project, the partners, the innovations and the importance of the tools and different organisations working together. It was awesome!

Diversity Toolkit for employers 


One of the intellectual outputs of the project is to create a diversity toolkit for employers. As output leader, Amadip Esment Foundation will gather different companies and professionals with the help of the Create Future team to create an efficient toolkit. The aim is to build a diversity-training program that will serve the employers, so they can discuss and inform their employees of the cultural sensitivity in religion, ethnicity, sex, background, sexual orientation, disabilities, and age. Cultural awareness of diversity in the workplace is a top priority of our project because it not only acts as a bridge between workers whose paths might not otherwise meet, but also empowers individuals to exercise their talents and skills.
