We’re very excited about our project. Most of the strategic partners have extensive experience of working with their stakeholder communities to enable their voice to be heard, but our project takes this to the next level.Our aims are:• to develop core curricula of informal, non-formal and formal learning and development - including validation of prior learning, to support the acquisition of competences from a lifelong learning perspective- in curating, cataloguing and production of meaningful digital data which can be accessed in diverse ways by different social groups to meet local needs and priorities, provide skills and education in a range of languages to provide work opportunities and mobility in the field of community and customer insight, which isa fundamental need for entrepreneurs and growing community organisations.• to design ways of recognising achievements in non-formal learning in digital community reporting, and the collection and curation of digital stories, which are congruent with the requirements of EQF, coherent across different territories and sectors, and which encourage transparency and recognition of skills and achievements within the European area and which can be disseminated through EPALE• to develop pathways for improving digital skills in communities, routes to obtaining new qualifications, up-skilling, and re-skilling for employment• to promote empowerment and active citizenship, especially for young people and other groups at risk of social exclusion, by providing them with the tools, competences and structure to enable their voice to be heard by influencers and policy-makers• through best practice, performance and efficiency in education and training, ensure that the project can establish a sustainable investment for future development and growth Our bid’s key objectives are to develop: a. inter-national strategic partnerships across Europe to sustain and maintain strong in-country networks for grass roots communities and individuals to find and use their "voice“ through the fast growing digital community reporting networksb. a sustainable, pan-European community of curators working together to catalogue and mobilise data in a meaningful way to pinpoint local, regional, national and international trends, needs and issuesc. connections with key decision and policy makers in-country and internationally to ensure that the community voices are heard and responded to by actions and policies which have positive social impactWith more than 1300 in six countries, we will work with all partners and their stakeholders to develop the Curator curriculum, so that the voice of this collective community can be converted into meaningful data for decision-makers. We will use a combination of desk and survey reach, workshops, seminars, action learning sets and electronic media to develop these communities into a universal voice which can influence, drive and guide social change. The tangible outputs will be the Curator Curriculum and associated learning materials, and the research database to support practice and provide information as the movement develops, but equally as important will be the support our project will give to engendering sustainable models for the future.We will use a traditional five-step project management methodology to ensure that our project delivers to time, cost and quality, and all our partners will operate inside this framework. Our log-term aim is that the Curation of digital stories as meaningful data becomes an inherent part of future social gain planning.
