European Topological Classroom for Primary School Education (ETCPSE)
Our project will unfold for the pupils and teachers the metaphor of Topology
through the so called topological thinking as spatial creative thinking of place/space and place/space of thinking, as visualization of knowledge.
Following the etymology of word ‘Topology’ (Analysis Situs), from the Greek τόπος, “place”, and λόγος,“study”, our aim is to introduce for the pupils and teachers topology as conceptual tool for enhanced learning (in) situation with an emphasis (in true topological mode) not on the differences between the shape and figures of identity and identities (cultural identities) but on the relationships between.
European Topological Classroom for Primary School Education (ETCPSE)
Topology for children in primary school education is the main concern of the present project.
Our objectives are to introduce to the pupils and teachers in primary school education new area of learning and communication – Topology and Topological Thinking, blending mathematics, language and visual art with new teaching and learning skills based on the digital technology, Quick response (QR) codes and Augmented reality (AR).
Our project will unfold for the pupils and teachers the metaphor of Topology through the so called topological thinking as spatial creative thinking of place/space and place/space of thinking, as visualization of knowledge.
The dimensions of our topological project will be implemented within three learning areas related with topology (in general)
• mathematics (geometry);
• language (narrative) and rhetoric;
• visual art.
An implementation of innovative topological plays/games will connect these three subjects in manifold of homogeneous activities.
Topology is not only a logical proposition from the discipline of mathematical science, but also a notion of rhetoric and language, with ‘topos’ – common place, transgressing the four basic tropes of rhetoric:
• metaphor,
• metonymy,
• synecdoche,
• irony
with the emphasis on the metonymy of metonymy or ‘metalepsis’ Toplogical Metalepsis is presented in visual art and visual narrative.
The meaning of ‘Metalepsis’ is participation, sharing, transgressing and transforming the boundaries
(‘in-between’).

e-Bozhurishte: Digital Youth Participation
in Public Policy at the Municipal Level
This Project innovates the theme of Youth Participation as e-Youth Participation in Public Policy as e-Public Policy at Municipal Level as e-Municipalities within the context of (1) the second objective of the EU Youth Strategy - to encourage young people to actively participate in society; (2) Revised Charter on Participation of Young People in Local and Regional Life; (3) The Digital Agenda for Europe (DAE); (4) Digital Single Market Strategy for Europe & Municipalities Involvement; (5) The “Digital Local Agenda”, the “DAE going local”; (6) eMunicipalities Without Borders, as well as the strategies, law and regulation available in the project partners countries.
Context/Background
We bridge four main areas of knowledge, practice, skills and experience – the “Digital” – “Youth Participation” – “Public Policy” – “Local Governance”.
Participation/Public participation is a political principle, practice, and right (right to public participation).
The principle of public participation holds that those who are affected by a decision have a right to be involved in the decision-making process. Generally public participation seeks and facilitates the involvement of those potentially affected by or interested in a decision. Youth Participation in Public Policy seeks and facilitates the involvement of young people potentially affected by particular public policy or interested in a decision. Youth Public participation implies that the youth's contribution will influence the decision. Public participation has become a central principle of public policy making.
In the EU counties, all levels of government, including local – municipalities, have started to build citizen and stakeholder engagement into their policy-making processes. Public policy is a vehicle for youth action.
We believe that more knowledge of youth participation and action in municipal public policy related to youth through education and training via strategic partnership in transfer of innovation and exchange of good practices will contribute to the quality of municipal public policy relevant to youth and this field of practices.
Young people should participate in public policy at municipal level. They should identify public policy issues that concern them, organize for action, build support for program implementation. They should know about public policy process in which they can trigger change, about how public policy can be used as a tool and a way to achieve their goals.
Youth Participation, Public Policy and Municipalities will be extended with the development of e-government and the “Digital”.
The EU defines electronic government as the use of information and communication technologies in public administrations - combined with organizational change and new skills - to improve public services and democratic processes and to strengthen support to public policies.
There are three HOW we need to KNOW and meet in our project Digital Youth Participation in Public Policy. The how of government (e-government), the how of local authorities (e-municipalities), the how of youth participation (e-youth participation).
There is a lack of knowledge, education and innovation for all these three within the great debates about youth, youth participation and public policy in Europe. Our project is innovative to other projects already carried out due to original answer of the question about “Know How” - How to Know More, How to Learn and Educate Digital Youth Participation in Public Policy.
The EU defines electronic government as the use of information and communication technologies in public administrations - combined with organizational change and new skills - to improve public services and democratic processes and to strengthen support to public policies.
At local level, youth shall be established and engaged in public policy process. Municipalities shall adopt the Revised Charter on Participation of Young People in Local and Regional Life.
Although, The National Youth Strategy (2010-2020) declares that ‘the care for young people is the most important national cause, in order to provide European Development of Bulgaria,” it is observed in the document that “the dialogue with young people at national, regional, district and local level on matters affecting them is not structured yet, unlike the established European models of representation through national, regional and local youth councils.” Under the section 13 from the National Youth Strategy (2010-2020), is underlined that “It is necessary the active involvement of municipalities in the planning and implementation of policies for young people, as well as closer cooperation between the different sectoral authorities in planning, implementation and evaluation of youth policies at central and district level.” The participation of young people in the management of youth policy at national, regional, district and municipal level is not sufficiently effective.”
The Strategy observes that “despite the massive influx of information technology in everyday life and work, access to information for young people is still limited. Despite the sustainable development of the network of Youth Information and Counseling Centers (YICC), it is necessary to improve their capacity and quality of services offered by them. State and municipal authorities do not provide effective mechanisms for taking into account the opinion of the young people in making political and social decisions that concern them.
We argue that more knowledge of youth participation, as subject of this project will contribute to the growth of youth participation in public policy making as field of practice. Public policy is a vehicle for youth action.
There is a credibility gap that exist between youth and public policy makers. Our Project aims: to build credibility between youth affected by public policy, policy makers; to identify public concerns and values related with youth; to develop consensus among the impacted parties; to produce better decisions related with youth; to enhance democratic practice.
A Topological Approach to Reading Practices in the Digital Age: Topological Reading and Drawing as Topological Reading
A Topological Approach to Reading Practices in the Digital Age: Topological Reading and Drawing as Topological Reading Project is related to the transformations of book and reading in digital age, topological reading and drawing, the phenomenology of metalepsis (understood as sharing, participation and boundary change).
eDiscovery Europe Data Protection VET
Strategic partnerships supporting innovation for EU Lawyers and Legal Data Technology (IT) Professionals
In our digital age of globalization and transnational economics, one of the major challenges for governments, organizations, business, law and citizens within the EU context is reconciling European Data Protection with the new feature of eLaw, the innovation and development of new field of law, auditing and business - eDiscovery. This challenge raises awareness of the issue of ‘Privacy versus ‘Justice’. Within the EU context the data privacy is subject of regulation of Data Protection Directive 95/46/EU. Simultaneously, there is a huge impact from the US invention such as eDiscovery (in US) and eDisclosure (UK) for the EU economics, legal and auditing framework. In our digital world, individuals, organizations, business and governments use and manage Electronically Stored Information (ESI). Europe is not an exception, where most business documents are now created electronically and the legal process involves identifying and producing Electronically Stored Information (ESI). The development of the eGovernment and eGovernance in Europe is an additional context that emphasize on the importance of the process and practice now commonly referred in Europe to as “eDiscovery” or “eDisclosure”. Traditionally, ‘discovery (in US) and ‘disclosure (in UK) is a legal process that involves collecting and producing evidence before trial in a legal dispute. Within the environment of ESI, these evidences must be selected and marked as relevant and responsive through the so called Document review analysis of the ESI. For the purpose of the Document review IT technology and semantic platforms (such as Relativity of kCura, and many others) are developed and used in order to facilitate the work of Document Review Lawyers and Analysts.
If in the EU context, one of the major issues is data protection, following the main legal instrument that regulates data protection in the EEA (European Economic Area) – the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EU and the statement that data protection is a human right as protected by article 8 of the Chapter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, in the United States all organizations that use Electronically Stored Information (ESI) must understand and manage their information according to the amendments of Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP-USA) from 2006. All companies transacting business with US are subject to the recently amended Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, in particular the requirements of Rule 26. The FRCP allows each party in a civil lawsuit to ask for the other party to produce documents or Electronically Stored Information (ESI) that may support its claim in lawsuit or defense such claim in lawsuit. Electronic Discovery, or eDiscovery, is the discovery of content in electronic format for litigation or investigation. In UK, all organization and businesses must manage their ESI according to the rules for dsclosure and inspection of documents established in part 31 from the Civil Procedure Rules in England and Wales (updated and coming into force with immediate effect 26 and 27 February 2015).
Regulatory activity and the demands of US courts and authorities require EU companies to apply discovery principles and practices. The unique US legal ‘discovery practice engendered in the United States a colossal and unique interdisciplinary innovation, the eDiscovery management and practice. The Electronic Discovery Reference Model (in the industry, simply known as EDRM - Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) - symbolically organises the high-level US discovery procedures to conceptually show how the process of US eDiscovery works to reduce the entire volume of case data to only that data that is deemed relevant to the litigation at hand. Today, the US eDiscovery practice and the EDRM are used as the basis for data technology solutions across legal practices and jurisdictions worldwide. There is a strong tendency for the major players in the eDiscovery industry to seek how data protection technologies can be injected into the European eDiscovery practice. This trend will increase after the global rollout of the new European Union data protection regulation.
Education, Training and Innovation in legal technology practice of eDiscovery in Europe is the great challenge today. Currently, the legal industry in Europe is facing extremely serious eDiscovery resourcing challenges. Despite the availability of young professionals in Europe eager to be trained, as well as the need of European corporations and law firms to rely on in-house teams for certain parts of their eDiscovery efforts, we are not aware of any specific training center, law school or technology university addressing the challenge to deliver sufficiently skilled, multidisciplinary eDiscovery professionals into the legal industry in Europe. There is not a professional qualification such as eDiscovery Lawyer/Document Review Analyst available in Europe. The consequences of this situation at a European level are stunning: where significant portions of the eDiscovery efforts could, in theory, be more effectively undertaken in-house by corporations or law firms, an unnecessary outsourcing situation develops, negatively impacting the cost and risk profiles of those potential (and desirable) internal efforts. Within the interdisciplinary legal technology practice related with ESI, European lawyers and IT professionals encounter difficulties in respect to transparency and recognition of their knowledge, skills and qualifications in eDiscovery, especially when realizing intra-country and trans-border mobility.
Our project contributes to the development of a European Area of Skills and Qualifications through creating a vision of eDiscovery Europe, bridging the best eDiscovery/Document Review practices and innovation with European Data Protection, implementing VET training tools to support EU lawyers and IT professionals in adoption of innovative skills and competencies in eDiscovery Document Review sector. The project envisages development of innovative educational programme based on eDiscovery Europe Document Review content and EQF/NQFs strategic system for organization of VET process. Our project’s specific training contributes to bridge building between eLaw, ESI management, eDiscovery Document Review Management and practice, and (legal) technology in sustainable economic development of the partner countries. Our project support innovation in Vocational Education and Training (VET) in an interdisciplinary legal technology practice.for both EU Lawyers and IT Professionals, development of innovative curriculum and semantic web platform that will contribute for further integration of law and technology practices and will add a further dimension to questions of lawyers’ VET eDiscovery qualification, quality of eDiscovery Document review services and their independence, emphasizing on the status of the various legal privileges in European Union and EEA context, privacy and data protection, which are already tremendously challenged in Europe.
The result of our project will raise awareness about ‘eDiscovery Europe’ and will bridge the gap between eDiscovery and Data Protection Management and Practice, educating and influencing objective discussion about technology applications, input into policy and strategic thinking. Our project will considerably impact the the sustainability of technology-assisted eDiscovery legal and auditing document reviews, the sustainability of the hourly-based billing models of both technology and legal providers.
Our project innovate the themes of VET in the field of eDiscovery Document Review sector in Europe through introduction of both innovative VET curriculum (intellectual outputs) and semantic web technology/platform that will provide semantic enrichmemt, data modelling and representation, recommendation of relevant documents, semantic search (intellectual outputs) that will demonstrate competitive advantages before the well known technologies and platforms used in eDiscovery, in particular with an emphasis on topological data analysis and data collection, data consolidation and modelling, also automatic processing and review of the collected data, with semantic enrichment of the documents metadata with rerefence to available vocabularies, thesauri and ontologies either internal or external; classification of relevant documents in accordance with the pre-defined requirements for availability of terms and key phrases under focus in the specific document review tasks; semantic search down to the paragraph level inside documents. Based on the above mentioned developments, our project is highly original and innovative. To our knowledge, there are not any other Erasmus+ KA2 projects available as targeting such issue as eDiscovery and Data Protection in Europe. Implementing VET instruments and particular technology as intellectual outputs within the EU context, our project is complementary to other private projects focused on eDiscovery training and education and can successfully contribute to stimulate small and medium business, to facilitate the growing demand of eDiscovery EU lawyers for multilingual document reviews (highly concentrated in London, UK), to facilitate the growing demand of eDiscovery compliance professionals for governments, government agencies, multinational organizations and business in Europe, as well as to enhance the employability in the sectors involve in the project. Thus, investing in VET related with the innovative technologies for eDiscovery Document Review with Data Protection in Europe, we expect a strong positive feedback and resolution on the issue of ‘Privacy’ (Data Protection Directive 95/46/EU) versus ‘Justice’ (eDiscovery/eDiscloseure).
Following all these, our project’s program will implement: 1) embedding the best practices and results based on competence description focused projects; 2) introducing innovative e-based educational curriculum and blended learning methodology; 3) building up Learning Outcomes (LOs) and implementation of those standards in the curricula; 4) strengthening the mutual learning within partner organizations and their partners at the workplace; 5) forming VET learning network between the partners, disseminate and use the results of the learning partnership and the services offered by the partner organizations.
Topological Approaches to Ethics, Law and Justice Project covers both primary education programs and monitoring and protection of civil rights and civic activism, with pro bono profiles for local citizen's initiative and legal support.
