SIRCLES Good Practices Booklet: Supporting Circular Economy Opportunities for Employment and Social Inclusion
SIRCLES is a consortium of 7 Mediterranean countries (Spain, Greece, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia, Italy) led by the Waste Agency of Catalonia, and with 9 partners. These partners have applied different approaches adapted to the situation of each region, but sharing the same goal: the creation of job opportunities within the unemployed young people and women at risk of social exclusion.
The good practices booklet shows:
1. The composting area in Vila-seca, Spain
2. The composting area in Andros, Greece
3. The composting plant in Beitello, Palestine
4. The composting area in Aqaba, Jordan
5. The composting area in Hbaline, Lebanon
6. The composting area in Bizerte, Tunisia
7. The sensitizing campaign in Puglia, Italy
SIRCLES composting pilot sites in Spain, Greece, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia
The objective of SIRCLES project is to promote the social and labour inclusion of people at risk of social exclusion, by providing them with skills and jobs in the organic waste management sector. During the project, NEETs and women at risk of social exclusion in the project areas (Spain, Greece, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia, Italy) received training in composting. Subsequently, some of them were hired to work at the SIRCLES composting areas. The following documents illustrate the activities carried out and the results achieved in the countries involved.
INTECMED - Innovation Ecosystem RAIT in Greece, Spain, Tunisia and Egypt
INTECMED project aimed at facing common challenges of the areas involved in the project, all characterized by generalized economic slowdown and serious job deficit, developing an integrated innovation ecosystem at local level to support technological transfer and commercialization of research results.
This section contains reports that describe, for each country participating in the project (Greece, Spain, Tunisia, Egypt), the innovation ecosystem in each specific country, the project's support for the ecosystem and a short description of the Regional Alliance Innovation Transfer (RAIT).
INTECMED - Good Practices Report on pre-incubation services in the Mediterranean Area
INTECMED project aimed to develop an integrated innovation ecosystem at local level to support technological transfer and commercialization of research results.
This report tries to select the best practices implemented by business incubators, their purpose and in particular their training method, in four Mediterranean countries, members of the INTECMED project (Greece, Spain, Tunisia, Egypt) in order to meet the aspirations planned for this project, with a focus on the offer of incubators, in particular technological and innovation incubators, while presenting and analyzing their level of performance and the factors that make them effective for project promoters.
HELIOS CASE STUDY: Best practices in tackling social exclusion in the Mediterranean region
This publication is the result of the work conducted by the Italian project coordinator ARCES University College of Merit, under the leadership of Mr. Alessandro Pernice and Ms. Broni Hornsby.
The whole publication is the result of a constant comparison with the project partners and it reflects the lessons learned from the project.
In short, the publication aims to:
• Identify and analyse people who are Not in Employment, Education or Training (NEET)s profiling methodology, the Blue and Circular Economy (BaCE) profiling methodology and results of the profiling process
• Describe in detail the e-learning platform and the communication strategy, the results of the HELIOS training program and finally the importance of the Murals
• Show some case studies of the partner's work across different sectors (organic farming, hydroponics, aquaponics, circular food processing, waste management, recycling and reusing, etc.) to provide further insight into what the project consortium has done.
• Illustrate some experience of the participants who attended the training courses and traineeships in companies operating in the BaCE sectors
• Explain the approach followed within the project consortium which seeks to standardize best practices and to allow project results to be cascaded to other Mediterranean countries (outside the project partnership) severely affected by high NEET rates.
Skills4Sports A3.3.1 Skills Gap Analysis Report
Skills Gap Analysis Report for the Sports sector helps project partners to determine which skills currently exist in the available NEET (people who are Not in Employment, Education or Training) workforce in comparison with the skills required to have better access to the sports industry employment market. The present report is essential for the next activities of Skills4Sports, as it will include the identification of specific fields/professions, as well as the skills that are in demand and could offer a career path to NEETs of the Mediterranean region. Furthermore, the Skills Gap Analysis report determines the material of the training curricula for sports professionals.

InnovAgroWoMed Capitalization Report
The objective of this document is to retrace the life of the InnovAgroWoMed project, the identification of managerial situations, the strategy and management of communication, the process and approaches of the training and coaching programme launched by the project in its 4 partner countries, the launch and the implementation of the sub-grant, the expertise and involvement of Human Resources, etc. The aim is to build up, in the long term, a bank of good practices that can be adapted on a case-by-case basis to the different types of future projects of the ENI CBC Med Programme or any other similar programme.
Training to empower: designing a new skills set for women-led social innovation in agri-food
The aim of this document is to homogeneously present the research activities and the development of the new training models carried out by all research units. To do so, the report is organized as follows:
The first chapter illustrates the research framework and methodologies employed, and describes the research guidelines defined by the coordinating unit, University of Rome Tor Vergata.
Then, four country specific chapters (2-5) report the activities carried out in each region: the first one presents the work performed by CESIE team (Sicily-Italy), the second one by ASALA team (Palestine), the third one by JOVESÓLIDES team (Valencia-Spain) and the last one by CAWTAR team (Tunisia). The first section of each partners’ chapter provides an overview of the team and the local context where the project was implemented, then the aim is to resume relevant information achieved through the desk research, related to the local context features and the existing training programs concerning the agri-food in the specific region.
Then, a section dedicated to the field research presents a list of the stakeholders engaged, underlying what is their expected contribution to the project, in a direct or indirect way, also in terms of post-training employability; in the same section the value chains and products selected by each unit are explained.
Section 3 of each chapter is dedicated to the local training needs, seen as skills and competences required by the job market and the entrepreneurial context, identifying a gap that will be filled through the provision of the training course.
The last section introduces the training model realized on the basis of local training needs retraced, divided in cross-cutting and sectorial topics. The training course will be as unified as possible, even if each unit decides how to differentiate training contents, especially through the definition of two different profiles identified as
agent for creation and agent for transition.
Chapter 6 concludes, providing an overview of the training curricula developed by each partner.

MAIA TAQA Final Report
The MAIA-TAQA project, focused on developing and defining a range of innovative services in the field of resource efficiency (RE), has significantly advanced the cause of sustainability and resource efficiency within Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) across the Mediterranean countries and it has successfully executed demonstrator pilot projects in Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan. The achievements of these pilot projects have been showcased through various impactful initiatives. This final report illustrates the Pilot Implementation Analysis, the impact on innovative Resource Efficiency solutions (capacity building, the Innovation One Stop Shop initiative, B2B events), highlighting the challenges and lessons learned.
