Big Room project:
The project aims to institutionalize and spread a new methodology for non-formal and informal learning and education, named “Cultural Landscaping” and equip youth workers and youth organizations with its tools.
CL is based on the creation and use of various challenges, tasks, ideas, methods and tools for young people, so they will fully engage in their communities on different levels – policy-making, initiative, expression, participation, and inclusion. A crucial point of the methodology is not the acceptance and completion of the challenge itself but the fact that the young participants realize that their experience depends on the choice they make or not. The challenges have a social, cultural or geographical character and can operate in different learning contexts. In this project, our focus of exploration and development will be on 3 specific environments: urban, suburban and rural. In all of them, there is certainly a lot of interaction with society and communities to complete the challenges. The Cultural Landscaping method is based on a participatory approach and peer-to-peer education in order to acquire skills valuable for increasing their inclusion and enhancing their active participation.

Introduction
TOBP project connects strategic partners in setting up new standards for skill recognition for migrants in the field of Transcultural Early Life Family Care (TELFC). TOBP’s aims are to co-create an open badge platform a) to enable the validation of foreign and informal qualifications and b) to provide education and training in the context of the newly developed job profile “transition mentor”. It thereby addresses the skill gaps and shortages of qualified professionals in TELFC.
AIMS of TOBP:
1) To establish a transcultural competence + job profile for Transition Mentors (TM), mainly on the basis of best practice examples from new and established migration countries
2) To enable flexible learning pathways with work-, problem-, game- and experience based, digitalized learning materials.
3) To create an Open Badge (digital awards) environment by establishing an informal recognition space validating the variety of prior, informal, non-formal and formal learning outcomes
4) To launch an online European Networking Platform on Transition Mentoring by professionalizing the TELFC sector.
