PROJECT BACKGROUND & INTENDED IMPACTS:The overarching goal of the project is in line with two priorities of the Europe 2020 strategy: SMART & INCLUSIVE GROWTH. The priorities shall be supported by empowering young adults in the acquisition of legal skills. With an awareness of and know-how in different legal schema individuals develop greater problem solving capabilities, can advocate their interests and gain a sense of self-efficacy. This enables them to better adapt to new conditions, make potential career shifts and be more open to mobility within the European Union. Furthermore, legal training can strengthens their entrepreneurial spirit and civic engagement because they know about related laws and the effectiveness of their actions. PROJECT AIMSBRIGHT@EU will provide the European educational landscape with an innovative non-academic basic legal training which will enable future participants to• use of the law and justice mechanisms to expand access to public goods and services or to reduce marginalisation and inequality• understand by which national and EU laws they are affected and which rights and duties they have• autonomously read and understand basic legal texts (e.g. contracts, constitutions, judgments, wills, etc.)This gain in qualifications and skills will have economic and social benefits:• Legal knowledge is a transversal skill that many businesses and political/civil organisations seek in their employees. Simultaneously, it will enhance training participants’ chances of employment by championing not only professional skills but also legal know-how for law-sensitive issues (e.g. data protection, writing contracts, commerce, human resources, etc.).• Greater work mobility on the European job market due to knowledge of labour, commercial and social laws and job seekers’ realisation that there are supportive mechanisms for foreign employees in different EU states.• Positive impact on society because more citizens are knowledgeable in legal issues and can estimate legal consequences of political/economic decisions, thus making informed decisions as voters.• Expanded scope of action of European citizens by gaining an understanding of legislative principles and encouragement of greater interaction with European institutions and citizen initiatives.TARGET GROUP• first, multipliers (teachers and those working in adult education) should have a chance to use the new interactive educational tool for law teaching• furthermore, this tool should give jobseekers knowledge about their rights in the EU work contextFor the implementation and dissemination of BRIGHT@EU we identify following stakeholders:• national Employment Service • national Recruitment Agencies• national further education institutions as well as welfare institutions with labour and social policy objectivesThose stakeholders have a clear mission vis-à-vis the final target group and know their demands as well as the economic demands across national boundaries.PROJECT PARTNERS• P1(CZ): bit cz training is highly experienced in compiling training materials, customized and pedagogical development of training and online programs as well as in project implementation.• P2(IT): Asterisco has a broad network of relevant stakeholders and is essential for the dissemination of the project inputs and results.
