Proposed Approach
We cannot build democracy FOR people, we must build new incentive mechanisms WITH
people.
Cordial is a global, inclusive, open-innovation social platform to bring misfits, mavericks and
the missing together in civic participation with the majority and / or organisations to solve
wicked social and environmental challenges in meaningful ways, and by doing so create
community wealth, enhance pride and improve public policy making processes and outcomes.
Looking for partners who would like to help up build the Cordial World ecosystem to enable in
which human knowledge, weird genius, deep expertise and lived experience can be owned
and shared by choice, for fair reward and enhanced reputation. We believe this is what gives
all people greater opportunities to overcome inequality / inequity and thrive, in a healthy
community in which they feel they belong and can make a positive impact. We are
investigating innovative uses of AI, big data, Social Fi and Web 3.0 tech to enhance citizen
engagement and democracy through true data ownership, self-sovereign identity and privacy.
Increased efficiency; greater access to diverse communities,
better outcomes from inclusion and problem framing.
Access to Web 3.0 technologies (incl blockchain,
self-sovereign identities, copyright management, data
pools). Opportunities to work with a high social impact
organisation with global reach.
We are an early-stage Foundation, but with global reach into
all aspect of pro-social impact.
Experience
Cordial World consists of 16 global professionals including thought leaders, the former chair of
KPMG, a McKinsey consultant, software developers, marketing experts and academics. Led by
former British Army officer, Cordial is pre-seed and pre-product launch but in a position to
raise significant funding in the next three months to support our mission to build an open
source, open access Human Knowledge as a Service protocol. We have letters of intent to
work with the South London Partnership, Crystalisr (a Community Wealth Building charity),
London South Bank University and a footwear manufacturer in Malaysia.

The future of democracy and civic participation
HORIZON-CL2-2022-DEMOCRACY-01-02 (also open for destinations 3, 6, 8,…)

Proposed Approach
The problem with education for democracy problem is that they are not necessarily include practices and
real life experiences. We can only create change in people through engaging them in action. We think that
through service-learning pedagogy, we can challenge didactic nature of higher education teaching and
create opportunities for students to engage in, reflect on and grow in relation to inclusiveness – a necessity
for democratic society.
What part of the Scope do you want to address? İnclusive teaching and learning practices in higher
education and youth development

TOPIC NUMBER 1 -
HORIZON-CL2-2022-DEMOCRACY-01-01: Artificial
intelligence, big data and democracy

Proposed Approach
We aim to investigate the perception of barriers / resources to participation in the social and
economical sphere, particularly in the workplace and institutional contexts, among persons exposed
to multiple discrimination (particularly, related to gender and disability).
We propose qualitative research approaches based on analysis of the representations of gender and
disabled identities through interviews, social media, and multimodal analysis of interactions in
'real-world’ situations at work and in institutions.
In line with the Scope, we aim to address socio-cultural aspects related particularly to gender and
disability that impact individual position and rights in society and social hierarchy, as well as
individual life and career choices.
The Discursive Psychology and Social Interaction
Lab is equipped with expertise and technology for
qualitative psychological research.
The Department of Philosophy and Communication
Studies can boast participation in several European
projects, both as coordinator and partner. The
department has staff specialized in the
administrative management of international
projects.
Experience
The Lab is specialized in carrying out qualitative analysis of social interaction dynamics both in
institutional and non-institutional settings. The Lab has documented experience in studying the
perception and categorization of gendered and disabled identities from an embodied and ecological
standpoint.
Prior experience as partners in funded projects:
- PRIN 2015 “Perception, Performativity and Cognitive Sciences". The Lab has contributed with
investigation on the relationship between performativity and identity construction and
ascription in professional and institutional contexts.

05: Gender and social, economic and cultural
empowerment

Proposed Approach
I am a Labour law scholar and my approach is through case law and jurisprudence. I have nevertheless collaborated in the past with
economists and work organization experts.
I would support the team in discussing the rationale of decisions developed at national and international levels, by the EU Courts and by the
EHCR, the ILO’s boards of experts, and on the other side by collective agreements.
I am particularly interested on discriminations against people with disabilities and especially people with mental health issues, related or
unrelated to work place issues, and discrimination against people with behavioural borderline mental issues: the grey area between mental
pathologies and personal behaviours affected or affecting wellbeing in the workplace: of course protecting individual privacy. The aim is to
develop legal policies and contractual policies aimed at integrating people in society with a peculiar interest on work as a mean of personal
development not only as a tool meant at satisfying economic needs.
Academic partners, organization of the Third sector, trade unions, employers’ associations
I work in Padova with a team of 8 people with a legal expertise. I have
agreed on the collaboration on the Horizon project with group of
scholars and activist who are interested in gender medicine
(http://www.centrostudinazionalesalutemedicinadigenere.it/).
I have also agreed on the collaboration on this possible project with the
CSV (the mains associations of services for the Third sector bodies).
The team of Bari University directed by professor Carla Spinelli would join
the Padova team
Experience
I have strong technical legal skills. My academic research has covered many topics and I consider it as a plus because I think I can work
having earned the sensibility for interpretation of the law base on a wider perspective.
I am able to attract big names in my field through the collaborations I have developed over the years in Italy and abroad (University of
Toronto, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Urbana-Champaing (IL), ColombiaUniversity).
I have strong links with the Italian judiciary bodies and the ILO.
For 6 years I have been Director of a philanthropic Italian Foundation worth 2billions Euros assets which supports the health public service
and Third sectors bodies also supporting social inclusion projects.
I am the president of the University of Padova’s legal course for Third Sector Legal Experts and I have strong links with private institutions in
the social economy. My aim is to collaborate with these entities over the Horizon program in order to study the best practice and their
legal/contractual background.
My aim is to be a local partner

Proposed Approach
The Rule of law (RoL) is a set of principles under which persons, institutions, and powers are guided
by and accountable to, a pillar of the EU. Our proposal pivots on a horizontal innovative
understanding of the RoL (as opposed to the more traditional “vertical understanding”) and on an
understanding of rights as “empowerment”, impacting especially the marginalised and disadvantaged
youth.
We want to focus on the specific role played by the education to RoL in the wider domain of civic
education. Analysing the notion implied in the path of civic education according to the United
Nations, the European Union, and the Italian government. Constructing a frame for civic education
where the different kinds of knowledges and skills dealing with Rol, citizenship, and human rights are
clearly identified in different realms and linked according to an explicit path. Suggesting innovative
perspective that are effective in the face of the current challenges to social inclusiveness, democracy
and respect for human rights.
We are looking for partners who are established academics in the field of law and political sciences.
Our research group of philosophers of law offers
strong analytical and research skills, an innovative
approach to research, a dynamic and diverse
intellectual environment, international breadth,
advanced infrastructure in five major Universities
across Italy (Palermo, Padua, Enna, Bari).
Our organisation is academic. The project will have
the following theoretical and practical benefits:
reorganising and rearticulating the teaching of civic
education; theorising and testing an innovative
approach to RoL and human rights, bearing potential
strong social impact on the youth, countering
discrimination; supporting responsible behaviour
towards the environment; improvement of the
economic and social inclusion.
Experience
The members of our team are full professors and researchers in the field of Philosophy of Law and
Political Sciences, with outstanding publication record in the field of human rights, the rule of law.
Each of the members of our team conducted research in the context of EU research grants and
national research grants which proved to be ground-breaking.
Our project concept is innovative and has strong potential practical impact, our past experience
includes international cooperation with the leading academics in the field. Of the rule of law and
human rights, we established a large and international network ranging from academics,
practitioners, judges, high level officials that can be put to use in the project.
We are planning on being the Coordinator of the
project.

HORIZON-CL2-2022-DEMOCRACY-01-04: Education for democracy

Proposed Approach
Classroom drama and applied theatre are new education and training formats that incorporate
creative approaches.
Research shows that these approaches can have an impact on e.g. bolstering democratic citizenship,
promotion of core values like human rights and the rule of law, promotion of gender equality,
disability inclusiveness, a culture of peace and non-violence, environmental awareness,
appreciation of linguistic, ethnic, cultural and religious diversity, tackling radicalisation and
successful integration of migrants and refugees along with other aspects mentioned in the call.
We would like to develop novel curricula, educational material and innovative pedagogical practices
in different settings and assess the developed methods with experimental participatory research
and mixed method research to build robust evidence base for redesigning curricula.
