The partnership has 5 partners from 4 different countries (AT, PT, RO, CY). The project bye, Polarity focuses especially on the social media platforms used by PUPILS, which adults and teachers often no longer have an overview of. It is important to close this gap. It is essential to address the issue of increasing polarisation and not only to sensitize young people & teachers to deal with the issue of increasing polarization but also to train them as ambassadors for the basic idea of "united in diversity". The overall objective of this project is to counteract the progressive polarisation in politics and society with school education (from 01.01.2022 to 01.01.2024).

Learning processes between the generations offer opportunities for the social inclusion of elderly people and the closing of the gap between young and old, which is becoming ever wider in today's society. Seniors who have completed their working lives run a certain risk of what psychologists call "bore-out": the feeling of no longer being needed that can suddenly take over and negatively influence one's own actions and thoughts. These two aspects inspired the consortium to develop a project aimed at seniors in order to empower them to engage in intergenerational learning settings (IGL) – as a teacher. Five European partners (Austria, Germany, Poland, Italy and Portugal) aims at equipping senior citizens with two-level skills: 1) recognize their personal competencies and knowledge and thus restore their self-confidence outside of professional life, and 2) acquire training skills that enable them to slip into the role of a teacher and pass on their valuable knowledge to young people. (from 01.10.2020 to 30.01.2023)

Through networking, but also by pointing out possibilities for connection, teachers should no longer feel alone but be embedded in a professional system that also brings them more self-confidence and self-efficacy.
