CreativeCulture 4.0
CreativeCulture is an international programme designed to explore, exploit and experiment the impact of arts, design and culture in enhancing creative thinking and development in education (primary and secondary levels) through game design and computational thinking as an approach and instrument for fostering creative problem solving and transcultural practices in Malaysia.
CULT_RISK
CULT_RISK seeks to identify cultural risks within organisations, to identify behaviours which cause these risks, and to develop methods to cope with cultural risks in order for organisations to operate as efficiently as possible. The objective of the project is to design online training for both managerial and lower-level staff, that work in multicultural organisations.
Escape Racism
Escape racism’s aim is building inclusive societies where young people will promote the respect of human rights, combatting racism and discrimination and acting as multipliers for their peers. The innovation of non formal methodologies and gaming tools will facilitate the professional growth of youth workers and foster the personal development of youth, especially those ones with fewer opportunities. The project co-funded by the European Commission inside the KA2 programme, Cooperation for Innovation, and the Exchange of good practices.
