CEBS – Education and Social Research Center è un’associazione senza fini di lucro. La nostra missione è sostenere lo sviluppo della società civile, l’istruzione e promuovere l’imprenditorialità, con particolare riguardo ai gruppi esposti ai rischi di esclusione sociale, economica e interpersonale.
Il CEBS nasce come iniziativa degli specialisti delle scienze sociali per una risposta adeguata ai bisogni educativi di giovani e adulti. L’esperienza del nostro team e dei nostri membri consente l’analisi complessa dei bisogni educativi attraverso l’applicazione di diversi metodi di ricerca e di facilitare la loro soddisfazione professionale. Promuoviamo la formazione dei dipendenti, dei disoccupati e dei giovani in cerca di lavoro. Il CEBS lavora su nuove metodologie didattiche, soluzioni ICT innovative da applicare in ambito educativo e sullo sviluppo di percorsi formativi. Il CEBS promuove attivamente l’attività di volontariato di persone di ogni età e coinvolge i volontari nei progetti e nelle attività dell’associazione che intendono sensibilizzare alla cittadinanza attiva e promuovere la partecipazione attiva alla vita sociale. Conta 15 membri permanenti (ricercatori, specialisti in affari europei, professori universitari e specialisti in ICT e social media), di cui 10 collaborano stabilmente su base lavorativa.
Negli ultimi 5 anni, il CEBS fornisce informazioni complesse su tutte le questioni legate all’Unione Europea e alle sue istituzioni, nonché comunicazioni sulle politiche e sui programmi europei. Queste informazioni assumono una forma diversa, dalla singola consultazione su base pratica, dal web (www.europedirect-wroclaw.pl) e dai social media (https://www.facebook.com/EDWroclaw/), dai media locali e dall’educazione sui social e competenze civiche.
Il campo principale dell’educazione degli adulti è lo sviluppo delle competenze civiche e sociali con particolare riguardo all’educazione europea. Attraverso attività realizzate all’interno del Centro informazioni Europe Direct, fornisce corsi ed eventi rivolti a diversi gruppi, ma principalmente agli adulti. Organizza corsi di formazione sulla partecipazione civica tra cui: impegno civico delle persone nel processo partecipativo delle consultazioni pubbliche, democrazia in Europa, istituzioni dell’UE, elezioni del PE, consultazioni con un target specifico, cittadinanza attiva e molto altro.
Dal 2013 ha implementato oltre 80 diversi corsi individualmente adattati alle esigenze degli studenti. Inoltre, ha organizzato attività basate sull’apprendimento non formale, come giochi e happening in città.

The Achaia Adult Education Institute’s podcast within the YISEM program, co-financed by the European Union, provides an insightful overview of their participation in the Erasmus+ program, focusing on the basic training course in Bologna, Italy.
During this program, participants engaged with young people from various EU countries, fostering cross-cultural exchange and understanding. They acquired essential business skills, including finance, storytelling, marketing, and social entrepreneurship, with practical elements like SWOT analysis and elevator pitches.
Furthermore, the participants presented their innovative business idea aimed at collecting agricultural wood waste to prevent fires, reduce air pollution, and recycle the material into pellets and sawdust. This concept aligns with new EU environmental obligations for farmers.
Upon returning, the team assessed the viability of their idea and sought guidance from local social entrepreneurship agencies and experts. They explored various funding options, from regional aid to European programs and crowd funding.
We also spoke with the CEO of the Institute, Mrs. Sandy Vamvaka, who told us what issues you are active in the field of education. More specifically, the institute deals with foreign language courses, Erasmus programs, etc. Also, we asked her about the collaboration we had with Yisem, and we spoke about how the podcasts were created and how the participants felt during this one year of creativity.
In summary, the YISEM program was an educational and transformative experience for the participants. It facilitated cross-cultural collaboration, improved entrepreneurial knowledge, and encouraged the development of a sustainable business concept with an environmental focus. The team’s actions after the program indicate their commitment to turning this idea into a practical venture and their eagerness to partake in similar opportunities in the future.
