The project “360 Refugees - the challenges of sheltering” - is a transdisciplinary exploratory project that aims to develop and test an immersive experience on the challenges of local communities in welcoming refugees.
The story will be created by capturing 360-degree videos, making a contemporary connection about the history of reception in Portugal, with the receipt of refugee families from war regions, who are already installed in the country, bringing light to the challenges and adversities of this change.
The objective is to create a reflection on the theme, which is so sensitive in the community, since it is necessary to create a more empathetic and solidarity culture for those who need help to start over.
For this, a 360-degree documentary will be created to promote immersion in the subject, an exhibition and an interactive website that can collaborate for the dissemination of information and help to create a culture of empathy and welcome in young Portuguese people.

The already significant digital transformation experienced over the last 30 years has been given a strong boost by the COVID-19 pandemic. Today’s school kids are not only digital natives; they were also forced for almost two years to move most of their daily learning and relational activities to online platforms. Digital spaces are, therefore, increasingly institutionalised even among children and in the school context.
ASAP addresses digital transformation from the onset age by fostering a conscious use of digital and social media in kids (namely pre-adolescents). The project works on metacognitive skills aiming to develop the kids’ understanding of how media shape and transform the relation between the inner and the outside world. Digital transformation will not end; therefore, kids need to develop skills related to awareness, metacognition, and abstraction, linked to thought and critical thinking, thus building resilience and capacity to feel at home in changes. Also, ASAP aims at the creation of a school community speaking not only through social media but also about social media.
ASAP addresses several Key Competences, i.e. Digital, Literacy, Personal & Social, Citizenship, Cultural Awareness & Expression competences. Most importantly it addresses Learning to Learn; metacognition, indeed, strengthens the kids’ ability to think about their actions on social media and prevent impulsive behaviour and disquiet in surfing on the internet.
The activities conducted within the project start from what students already know about social media, and the motivation and curiosity that drive every kid on the web. By doing that, ASAP will work on the awareness of dangers and hazards of the digital realm and the psychological aspects involved in the use of social media, which can lead to phenomena such as cyberbullying or exclusion. It also considers the major role that educators (teachers or families) play and the need for proper training so that they are able to guide reflection on the media.

According to recent studies developed by the European Commission, there is an urgent need to improve Initial Teacher Education (ITE) to make it more attractive, collaborative and system-wide focused.
Some of the detected competencies and selection, short term vision and poor evaluation system performance. VIR_TEACH is a step forward to advance on the previous work developed by other networks that have been pursuing the internationalisation of educational practice.
While the labour mobility of this sector is in continuous growth, there is no unified format for teacher training at European level. Neither the digital platforms for promoting mobility, nor unified digital tools for the mentoring the needs of students in their internship phase.
The creation of the digital space suggested in VIR_TEACH (A Virtual Solution for a comprehensive and coordinated training for foreign language TEACHers in Europe) project would foster the internationalization and convergence of national formats, as well as the exchange of methodologies and good practices. The objectives are:
To design of user-friendly and useful digital tools aimed at ITE, focused on knowledge transfer, social networking and follow-up during the internship phase. To research into a coherent competencies framework and the broad outlines of institutional action. To promote the sharing of innovative practices in the initial training of language teachers and the internationalization of the respective training practices, progressing towards the European Convergence The transnational cooperation required for the development of this project will ensure the exchange of best policies in ITE. The target groups involved in this project are universities and secondary and language schools from the participating countries, policy makers, trainee-teachers, policy makers and national representatives.
This project would provide a compendium of good practices and resources for trainee-teachers (O1).
It would create a digital space of encounter and exchange between the teacher trainers, the students and the pre-service and in-service centers, providing in addition a digital space to enhance a greater coherence between the training and the internship phase (O2).
A series of guidelines will be published, specifically for public administrators (O3).
Also, two events will be organised, to disseminate these outputs and collect feedback: An International Workshop and Formative Evaluation and the First European Conference on Foreign Languages Teachers Training.
Furthermore, the Project will suppose:
Higher degree of internationalisation of foreign language trainee-teachers; Improved knowledge transfer and dissemination of resources and Best Practices and specific adaptation of tools and resources adapted to each national context; More integrated follow-up the pre-service and in-service teacher training phases; Enhanced and systematic protocol for professional competencies in the fields of teaching, didactics of foreign languages and peer-communication/peer-learning; Improvement of Best Practices exchange through the creation of a wide and transnational community of education professionals and trainee-teachers in the fields of foreign languages. This online communication will enjoy a great scope at long-term for implementing new masters and postgraduates exchange and internationalisation programmes; Secondary Education is a crucial stage for assessing the Quality of the Formal Education systems in Europe. Foreign Language teachers training and procedures for accessing this profession is a key factor to ensure the formal education system follows the highest quality standards and does it in convergence with all European countries. VIR_TEACH aims to raise and homogenise the required competencies for an efficient and high-quality teaching labour at Secondary Education stages, developing methodologies and systematic analysis of the current situation in the EU and deploying a set of resources for taking the right steps and progress steadily in the right direction.

The project proposes to study the activisms related to the major fires that hit Portugal, in particular the inner Central region, June 17 and following days and October 15 and 16, 2017. It aims to identify, characterize and analyze the collaborative digital platforms that instituted alternative public spaces and new forms of collective and political action. Given that the use of networked digital technologies by netactivists relies on a new type of reticular sociability that develops in connected digital social networks and participatory media, in which the possibilities of unlimited expression and dissemination of messages are used for new modes of interaction, association, and mobilization (whether protest or other civic mobilizations), we intend to analyze the new modes of communication, sociality, and mobilization that create alternative public spaces and new forms of social and political intervention.

Based on the aural experience in two parishes of the municipality of Lisbon, Alvalade and Belém, we intend to draw the relationship of the communities with their neighbourhood.
Through dialogues with its inhabitants, with the sound and visual mapping of neighbourhoods, we want to understand what areas exist or are necessary for a greater participation or inclusion of urban life; what aspects of the sensitive culture have deteriorated or remain as agglutinators of social life; and what can be done, at the level of acoustic ecology, to maintain an aural experience that brings well-being and identity to the community.
With this project, whose objectives could be applied to other neighbourhoods in the city, we intend to unite an ancestral sensitive culture to the notions of time, space, community and renewed identity, in part, by the use of reproduction technologies.
The works to be developed will be included online in the website Lisbon Sound Map.

This proposal addresses the lack of significant research in the field of animation and its potential to impact on the health and wellbeing of young people in stressful situations in healthcare contexts particularly in waiting spaces for attending patients and accompanying family or caregivers. Artists and scholars have identified the “Haptic Eye” linking the screen/vision and sensation, but it still proves elusive in practice and in evidence-based studies. Therefore this study addresses the lack of evaluation of moving image installations and innovates in terms of the production of animation as a collaborative and interdisciplinary process considering psychological impact. We combine visual research and innovative animated solutions with psychological testing, to generate new knowledge on evaluating non-verbal art through verbal and nonverbal methods.
The intention is to establish animated moving images potential as a tool in the wellbeing sector and expand the audience in general to elevate animation's role in moving image culture.

Understanding the patterns and mechanisms behind news consumption and avoidance in the hyperconnected media ecosystem is crucial for fostering democratic participation and informed societies. Traditional methods of studying these behaviours, such as self-report surveys, and more recent approaches such as digital-trace data collection, often come with limitations and biases.
In this research project, we introduce an innovative approach to address these challenges through the AIDiAL system—an intelligent, dialogical news delivery application. AIDiAL is designed to simulate a real-world news consumption environment, enabling the collection of nuanced interaction data while mitigating self-report response biases. This system segments content into utterance snippets to capture externalised behavioural data, which can be integrating with self-report information to offer a comprehensive understanding of news engagement dynamics.
AIDiAL enables fine-grained, conversational, yet naturalistic interactions with news content through which we expect to reveal the complex causal factors behind several phenomena in the information ecosystem including, e.g. news avoidance (across different demographics, with a particular focus on understanding inter-generational dynamics), the roles of algorithmic literacy in determining people’s news “diets”. The primary goal of this research is to develop robust methodological tools in media studies to derive scientifically valid and replicable inferences that explain content consumption behaviours. AIDiAL seeks to support more informed, critically thinking societies relying on the collection of fine-grained data on human behaviour within the information ecosystem.
This project will contribute significantly to the advancement of media research methodologies and our understanding of news engagement across diverse populations.

The general objective of the project is to prevent vulnerable audiences from starting a process of radicalisation by offering them resilience and critical thinking mechanisms, as well as convince those already engaged within a process of radicalisation to abandon it or dissuade them from going further by providing an alternative narrative that deconstructs extremist rhetoric, in order to change violent behaviour.
This will be achieved through 7 social media campaigns, 3 of which targeting audiences vulnerable to Islamist extremism:
Community Heroes: aims to provide resilience mechanisms, such as sense of community belonging or identity to vulnerable young people (aged 12-16) from Muslim communities through 3 animated short videos; Narratives of Global Islam: to empower Muslim communities through specific features of Islam, such as fundamental rights based on testimonies from Muslim leaders or activists (5 short videos); The True Face of Extremism: To present the reality of violent extremism based on former extremists, their families and friends, in order to deconstruct idealistic views (3 short videos). Furthermore, 2 campaigns will target audiences vulnerable to far-right extremism:
Conspiracy theories – from satire to danger: to demystify social myths and conspiracy theories propagated by far-right extremism through a factual and humorous tone (5 videos); What it’s like to be part of a far-right violent group: to share real narratives that identify the risks associated with being a former far-right violent extremist based on real experiences (3 short videos). Lastly, 2 campaigns will be produced that target the common citizen, generally vulnerable to polarisation, misinformation and extremism:
Critical thinking tools: to teach how to critically analyse information by recognizing assumptions or implications, especially as concerns information disseminated by both traditional and social media (4 short videos); Peer2peer communication: a call-to-action against extremism: to engage and reach local communities and call them to action against violent extremism (4 short videos). Type and number of persons benefiting from the project: Target audiences will be reached through a total of 2 175 000 visualisations, 30 330 comments and 25 000 likes located in Portugal, Italy France, Sweden Romania or Hungary.

C-Accelerate is focused on increasing the innovation and entrepreneurial capacity in higher education in the fields of the arts and creative practices. It brings together five European Higher Education Institutes & partners that provide Entrepreneurial Education to students by sharing expertise. All partners work towards incrementally improving the degree to which entrepreneurship is included within the core ecosystem of the future European University and to which innovation is central in its consolidation.
In 2022 the C-Accelerate project was launched and LUCA School of Arts partnered up with four other Higher Education Institutes (HEI): BFM - Tallinn University, Lusófona University Lisbon, Dún Laoghaire Institute of Art Design and Technology Dublin and Aalto University. All those HEI partners have strong expertise and participation in different KICs, along with several industry and public organisations. The five institutions have a joined partnership with AaltoES (Aalto Entrepreneurship Society, the most active student-run entrepreneurship society in Europe). Together, the consortium will work towards incrementally improving the degree to which entrepreneurship is included within the core ecosystem of the future European University and to which innovation is central in its consolidation.
All project partners are deeply involved in developing and promoting entrepreneurial activity and seek to put this at the centre of the future European University. LUCA takes part as consortium member of FilmEU, together with Aalto University and all other full and associated partners, these institutions will collaborate around the common objective of promoting entrepreneurial education, innovation, and research activities in the multidisciplinary field of the cultural and creative sectors and industries (CCSI).
Building on the partners’ HEInnovate self-assessments, existing KIC expertise and FilmEU-established portfolio of educational and entrepreneurial initiatives, C-Accelerate presents an ambitious Innovation Vision Action Plan geared towards the partner’s long-term vision.
C-Accelerate covers four related dimensions that represent the pillars of the project: entrepreneurial education, project development and business acceleration, support structures for creativity and knowledge transfer, and collaboration and institutional engagement. These four pillars articulate the actions the project proposes across the knowledge triangle.
C-Accelerate is the proposal of FilmEU, Aalto University (project coordinator), and AaltoES. C-Accelerate will accelerate the role of creative communities through the exploration of entrepreneurial education and radical creativity within European education, through training, capacity building, and the development of new tools and processes. Building on Aalto's experience such as in its leading International Design Business Management Masters, and closely integrated with the work of FilmEU in its Erasmus Mundus postgraduate programmes and a range of entrepreneurial and industry-related projects in the participating institutions, C-Accelerate will over two years strengthen the innovation potential of the HEIs, and deepen and develop links with key associated partners, including municipalities, enterprises, and investors. This new project is one of a set of initiatives funded by the EIT, which has as its goal that higher education institutions develop and implement action plans to improve their entrepreneurial and innovation capacity across all institutional levels. The EIT, founded in 2008, brings together leading business, education, and research organisations to form dynamic cross-border partnerships, dedicated to finding solutions to specific global challenges.
