What Where When Why Who How
Baring in mind that youth unemployment is high in Europe, Young people have been hit especially hard by the economic crisis. A rising number are facing unemployment in Europe, making them feel frustrated, fearful and hopeless. In this segment education and world of work meet in the most direct and visible way. Tailored programmes and services in youth associations are recognized by project partners as investment in young people which will improve their flexibility and security in the labour market and stimulate their active participation in the economic, social and political life. By this project we want to increase capacity of the youth people to develop skills and competences during non-formal education programme in order to support their professional orientation and career decision, including those with fewer opportunities, both at local and European level.
What Where When Why Who How
There will be 5 participants (aged between 18 and 29) and 1 group leader per country (Albania, Portugal, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania, Macedonia).
What Where When Why Who How
During the project they will learn practical instrument for human resources development (in terms of professional orientation and career decision) called Job Browser. Simultaneously they will discover social goals like: lifelong learning – to fight early leaving of school by young people especially those with fewer opportunities and to inform them about knowledge and skills needed for facing the challenges in the labour market; labour market goal – to reduce gap between offer and demand by dealing with unemployment issue and by improving the quality of youth competences and mobility and social equality and inclusion goal – to promote reintegration of young people into education, training and employment.
During the project the participants will have to use creativity, media devices techniques and theatrical performances empowering their skills as the focus of this youth exchange. Hence creativity as a mindset, an approach to life and not a quality related to artists, will help participants to approach any work or a real life and be aware of the needed soft skills.
