CIP 2030
Recognising diversity as a congenital feature of modern societies, CIP team has been tirelessly working to inspire, activate and transform communities by endowing citizens with innovative tools and comprehensive solutions, thus enabling them to reach their maximum potential in a sustainable manner. To accomplish its vision for social cohesion through the formation of inclusive, equitable and progressive societies, CIP has established an ongoing collaboration with leading universities, NGOs and civil society organizations of a pan-European and international outreach.
HOW WE ACHIEVE OUR VISION
Design Unique Projects
CIP designs and coordinates innovative projects for various EU-funded programs such as Erasmus+ (KA1; KA2; KA3), ENI CBC, AMIF, REC, Horizon 2020 and EEA-Norway Grants.
Conduct advanced research
CIP staff conducts scientific research in order to tackle systemic social, educational and economic problems.
Simulate technological innovations
CIP’s priority is to develop and incorporate modern technological innovations into learning, thus making the educational processes more effective, entertaining and motivating.
Produce innovative hands-on tools
CIP develops practical solutions that aspire to modernize both the pedagogical methodologies and learning tools on the basis of scientific conclusions and findings, by primarily employing and utilising the latest technological innovations.
Raise awareness, inspire, transform
Awareness raising -which is primarily being achieved through the provision of reliable and accessible information on socio-cultural and environmental challenges- can catalyze the exchange of ideas and facilitate mutual understanding, thus setting core values as inherent features of a democratic society. CIP’s target is for such core values to be embedded in relevant national and EU policies that can bring about a genuine social change and lead towards the social transformation of modern communities.
Promote Equality and Diversity
CIP recognizes and promotes diversity, by establishing an inclusive culture for both its staff-members and target groups, whilst ensuring that policies, learning materials and processes do not discriminate against any individual or social group. Our team aspires to break the stereotypes and eradicate any stereotypical behaviours which could lead towards the marginalisation of socially sensitive populations
Facilitate inclusive learning
CIP develops and delivers free training courses and e-modules. These courses are tailor-made for specific target populations and have been designed to facilitate and catalyze the acquisition of knowledge. Our unique material ensures that learners with fewer opportunities or participants who have been encountering socio-cultural problems, economic obstacles, geographic barriers, disabilities or learning disorders have equal rights and educational opportunities.
Set up an entrepreneurial mindset
CIP encourages different target groups to think and act in an entrepreneurial way. This requires -apart from knowledge- out-of-the-box thinking, innovative ideas, inventiveness, creativity, communications skills and personal motivation. Through the offered programs as well as through the provision of consulting services, CIP aspires to educate, inspire and prepare the next generations of social entrepreneurs.
Establish a lifelong learning culture
Lifelong learning constitutes a form of self-initiated education which is tightly interwoven with the individual’s personal development. Such forms of learning can occur outside a traditional educational institute. CIP utilizes non-formal education methods with the aim to encourage young people and adults to broaden their spectrum of knowledge by continuously obtaining up-to-date skills and capacities.
