The Job Bridge project has come to an end. We are glad to announce that we have been able to achieve the aspired result. Here is what we did, in a nutshell:
As part of the Job Bridge project, facilitators of learning initiatives for young people participated in an extensive training course in Göttingen in February 2020, with the view to then carry out the so-called pilot learning projects involving at least 15 volunteers per partner country.

I-CARE – Tips for tricky siutations in an intercultural context
The I-Care consortium developed a set of actions sheets aimed to provide practical tips to overcome tricky situations in the social and healthcare situation in intercultural settings. Based on the many interviews carried out during the research phase the partnership identified twelve intercultural situations that can lead to misunderstandings or problems and affect interactions between staff and their clients or patients. Thematically, these include: language barriers, dealing with conflicts, the role of the family, stereotypes, dealing with pain and illness, conflicting values, etc.
The action sheets briefly describe the issue, illustrated by a real-life example, and give options that staff can take to deal with the situation. The action sheets are available in all partner languages incl. English and German. Find an example here. All actions sheets will be tested in the piloting phase in autumn 2021.

Is this fake or not? School project
Cooperation with the Geschwister-Scholl-Schule Göttingen and the local radio station to raise pupils’ awareness of fake news with the aim of producing a podcast on the subject
Since mid-September, there has been a weekly workshop for interested pupils at the Geschwister-Scholl-Schule on the topic of Fake News. The pupils explore the topic together and develop a podcast for the Stadtradio Göttingen. The afternoon lessons are organised by two members of the No Alternative Facts project team on the basis of the course organised in February. The activities are accompanied by a media educator from Stadtradion, who is then also responsible for the technical implementation later on.
The podcast is expected to go on air early 2021.
