Activating Positive Impact Loop on Activism for Change (APILAC)
The APILAC project is an Erasmus+ project co-financed by the European Commission
Start: 01-09-2021 – End: 28-02-2023
Project number: 2021-1-SE01-KA122-ADU-000020622
Program: Erasmus+
Key Action 1: Learning Mobility of Individuals – Adults
Coordinator: Föreningen Bar Social [SE]
Partners of the project:
Mine Vaganti NGO [IT]
NGO Nest [DE]
Purpose
The project wants to address the necessity of taking action on the phenomenon of social radicalization of disadvantaged groups.
Bar Social’s staff has identified a weak spot in their skill set, regarding the education and training of migrant adults.
The APILAC project is a way for Föreningen Bar Social to develop a cooperating network with like-minded organizations in Europe for the purpose of contributing its practical expertise in humanist values and active citizenship and elaborating new Strategic Partnerships in the Adult field.
The project consists of two mobility events:
1- training hosted by NGO Nest in Berlin aimed at learning how to involve adult volunteers working with migrants.
2 – Job shadowing hosted by Mine Vaganti NGO in Sardinia aiming at the development of possible project proposals for adult education.

NGO Nest is hosting in Berlin two representatives sent by Föreningen Bar Social. During the 6-day long mobility, the Swedish participants had the opportunity to visit Refugio Berlin, which is part of the City Mission and is a good example of integration and cooperation among new and long-time Berliners, living and working together.
The participants learnt about a project called DISCoVeR Theatre, where Theatre is used as a means of inclusion for older people, and they participated in a networking event organised by the co-working space The Social Hub Berlin.
