THE PROJECT
This project is an international youth project (mobility of youth workers) under the Erasmus+ programme. The project is organised by Euroteam and involves youth workers from ten countries.
The aim of the project is to develop participants´ competences essential for good quality work with youth, organisations of activities both within youth organisations and in international level. The project also supports cooperation and mutual enrichment in the area of nonformal education. In compliance with the Erasmus+ program it allows the participating organisations to inform about gained results and outputs and share them with public and thus increase the impact of youth projects and their sustainability and ensure European benefit of the Erasmus+ program. By implementing this project we would like to solve the issue of increasing competences regarding youth work, gaining and fostering leadership skills, managerial and organisational skills. The project focuses on participants´ needs to develop their competences necessary for work with youth, develop their motivation for such work, for organising activities for young people and develops creativity for organising future projects in the area of nonformal education.
The participants of the project will be youth workers who are involved in work of their organisations, participate in their activities and are interested in developing their personal competences, gaining new experience at international level and who are interested in leading youth teams, in future work in youth organisations headquarters, in work on creating and developing an international cooperation and in work on international youth projects. The communication language of the project is English. All participating teams will involve at least one participant coming from a disadvantageous group. In this project there will participate 26 participants from 10 countries, each represented by 2-3 adult youth workers.
The main activities will include the following methods of nonformal education: ice-breaking and team building games, presentations, workshops, debates and discussion, intercultural activities, evaluation and dissemination activities.
