Dr Maria Hadjielia Drotarova, PhD President, Co-founder Senior Lecturer in the Field of Tourism and Hospitality, Adult Education
Maria has substantial experience on EU-funded projects under Erasmus+ and Horizon. Maria’s research interests focus on topics at the nexus of tourism management and education, while she is also researching phenomena linked to new technologies in tourism. There is much to gain from combining tourism and education, especially in specialized forms of tourism such as dark tourism and thanatourism, which can offer possibilities for re-education on the importance of places of death and disaster. Her contributions to the literature include, amongst others, theoretical understandings of educational experience and its social dimensions, the conceptualization of the nexus between thanatourism and emotions, and dynamics and processes associated with the functioning of short-term rental (STR) platforms in tourism (e.g., types of hosts, professionalisation and quality standards, etc.). Maria has substantial experience on EU-funded projects under Erasmus+ and Horizon 2020:
1.⁠ ⁠COLECO – I was involved in all 6 Intellectual Outputs and I was leading the IO5 Curriculum Development for undergraduate courses, postgraduate courses and MOOC. https://www.facebook.com/colecoproject/
ERASMUS+ KA2 Strategic Partnership, 2019-1-UK01-KA203-062118
COLECO – Higher Education Curricula Development on the Collaborative Economy in Europe
2.⁠ ⁠RePAST – I was leading the working package 6 Curriculum Development for undergraduate courses, postgraduate courses and MOOC, I developed the platform, organized the working package’s dissemination (invitations to the courses,
presentations about the courses, etc.) and my assistant is delivering the courses at the moment. https://www.repast.eu/
RePAST is a Horizon 2020-funded project that aims to investigate how European societies deal with their troubled pasts today through the analysis of conflict discourses rooted in those pasts, with a view to the impact of those discourses on European integration. It will implement actions and propose strategies, both at the levels of policy-making and civil society, for reflecting upon these discourses to strengthen European integration. It will also take into account how the current crisis in its multiple forms (economic crisis, refugee crisis, political crisis) mediates these narratives.

Legal Name: Shelter international e.V.

Country: Germany

Region: Bremen

City: Bremen

Shelter international e.V., founded in 2017, is a non-governmental, non-profit organization in Bremen, Germany. Shelter international e.V. promotes dialogue and cooperation in the fields of education and training, youth, active citizenship, social inclusion, environment, health, peacebuilding, nonviolence action, personal development, human rights, sustainable development, social justice, employment, entrepreneurship, and social issues. Shelter international e.V. also promotes intercultural exchange with the ambition of recognizing and respecting cultural diversity, cultivating European values in all their forms, and defending human rights.
Shelter international e.V. carries out social inclusion and civic activities that support social diversity and contribute to solutions to social issues which are common concerns of our European societies. We strongly think that involving young people in civic activities and cross-border exchange programs can be a powerful and effective tool for broadening horizons, breaking down stereotypes and prejudices, and reducing social exclusion and disengagement.
Thus, shelter international e.V. promotes participation opportunities for young people, especially those with fewer opportunities due to formal or informal access barriers. We support young people as we are aware of the need to support both young people affected and endangered by risks of social exclusion and young people taking initiatives to make it easier for everyone to access civic activities and to make our societies more peaceful and pleasant places for everyone to live in. Thus, shelter international e.V. helps to increase the capacity of young people by including them effectively in the direct implementation of the core activities that develop their skills and empower them to become more independent and sustainable people in social life and in community building and development. We engage young people in a constructive way and enable them to take the initiative to form and develop ideas that meet people’s needs and help to reduce the issues and challenges that societies are most confronted with. We also provide young people and adults with the skills to develop social, intercultural, and critical thinking competences for a more inclusive education, training, and youth field. We work with different institutions to address different social and global issues and to encourage young people to take an active role in societies.

Shelter international e.V. is involved in promoting opportunities to create better possibilities for the empowerment of newcomers. We are working to raise awareness of the needs of newcomers and offer them help and advice in legal cases. We are actively promoting education and workshops to reduce the social exclusion of newcomers, immigrants, and disadvantaged youth.
Shelter international e.V. plays an active role in shaping an ecologically sustainable, socially just environment while remaining mindful of the global dimension. As environmentally mindful people, we strongly believe that raising awareness of environmental issues is of extreme importance. We understand the fragility of our environment and the importance of its protection and take action to promote sustainable development and a more eco-friendly way of living and taking good care of nature.
These actions consist of the 3R of sustainability: reduce, reuse, recycle; and more sustainable ways of living. Furthermore, we are also deeply concerned about the pollution in nature and seas, most notably plastic pollution. For that, we believe the governmental institutions, NGOs, and society should take solid steps toward protecting the environment and oceans.
In 2019, we gained 3 new active members in order to increase our capacity to organize more local projects to increase our impact on the local level. We have also focused on strategic partnership projects with local activities and events to be able to reach more young people. We are already working with reliable partners on one KA2 project and one Capacity Building in the field of youth projects with a focus on the youth work with minorities. We have also developed KA2 projects together with our partners to empower young adults with migrant backgrounds in their successful integration into society through non-formal education and best practices of social entrepreneurship. We also developed a training module “Working with Young Migrants”. Our strategic partnership project “Developing entrepreneurship and self-employment skills of immigrants” started with the leadership of shelter international e.V. All members of our organization have ample experience in the Erasmus+ Programme and have participated in KA1 and KA2 projects both as participants and trainers/facilitators.

As a non-profit organization, we are committed to doing civic activities for the benefit of all. For this purpose, we are focusing on three key areas: project activities, public education, and engagement in social issues. Since 2017, shelter international e.V. has accumulated experience and maintains expertise in the field of learning, training, and mobility in education – this is well backed up by its participation in Erasmus+ projects. Shelter international e.V. carries out quality projects in cooperation with an extensive and constantly expanding network of local and international partners. The members of shelter international e.V. work as a team, mostly with young people and other partners together, on the conception and development of new projects such as youth exchanges, seminars, or training courses. We have experience in project management and organized several activities such as youth exchanges, training courses, and study visits. Shelter international e.V. is experienced in the development of thematic collaborations, and encouraging new partnerships to develop/implement European projects. In 2018, we have implemented our training course “Challenges and Realities: Migration“ which has received the award of “good practice example”. In 2019, we have successfully implemented 4 youth exchanges on topics of tolerance, gender role, migration, and active citizenship. Since 2019, we have developed and worked with our partners on 3 ongoing strategic partnership projects, namely, “Smart Aspirations Future Employment+ (SAFE+)”, “Minorities in Focus-Living together in Intercultural Society/MFLTS”, “Developing entrepreneurship and self-employment skills of immigrants”. Since 2018, we have been a partner in 29 projects where we have prepared and mobilized great numbers of young people and youth workers for our partner projects abroad.

Apart from the European projects, we have been working on local activities to promote youth participation and social inclusion. Focusing on the need to improve the disadvantaged situation of young people in their communities and help them to become more active and integrated into the local communities in which they live, we propose local activities to young people on different topics such as empowerment, intercultural training, forum theatre, anti-racism, gender issues, etc. Together with the Bremen empowerment project (BEP), we offer consulting for migrants, especially refugees and asylum seekers, and empowerment activities, in all manifestations such as playing volleyball, performing art, drama, having picnics, workshops on different topics, etc. Our facilities have enough space and room (next to the offices, one event room, and one seminar room available) to lead such [indoor] activities. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the activities have been frozen but we managed to do a “re: connect” project in August 2020 to bring local youngsters and young migrants together to experience encounters with each other in times of social isolation and overcome distance to remind solidarity and things that connect us.

The interdisciplinary team of shelter international e.V. has extensive experience in youth mobility, community development, and entrepreneurship development. Our organization’s staff members understand the youth segment in a more diverse way; their needs and priorities, skills and potential, their drive and synergy, and their developmental needs for a greater sustainable future. Most of our staff have over five years of experience in youth mobility within European and partner countries. This gives our organization the ability to initiate and implement projects of any magnitude and effectively carry them out and produce tangible results that have a positive impact on the target groups.
