TRAINING COURSE "APPLYING ICT IN EVERYDAY SOCIAL WORK - A TOOLKIT FOR THE EU YOUTH WORKERS"

Participants from Netherlands, Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Czechia, Slovakia

This project successfully empowered young people across Europe by enhancing their digital literacy, civic engagement, and employability. Focused on training 30 youth workers in ICT and digital youth work, the initiative equipped them with the tools to effectively engage young people and support their adaptation to a rapidly digitalizing world.

The project addressed critical challenges such as limited access to information, reduced employability, social exclusion, declining civic participation, and online risks faced by young people in the EU. At the same time, it provided youth workers with the necessary skills to promote digital inclusion, improve their employability, and elevate the quality and impact of youth work.

Key Achievements:

Training Youth Workers: Delivered specialized training to 30 youth workers, enabling them to integrate digital tools and methods into their daily work with young people.
Creation of a Toolkit: Developed and shared a practical toolkit offering guidance on ICT tools and methodologies tailored to youth work.
European Collaboration: Facilitated collaboration and networking among youth workers and organizations from different countries, promoting the exchange of best practices.
Enhanced Digital Literacy: Supported young people, particularly those with fewer opportunities, in developing digital skills and engaging in online activities safely and effectively.
Innovative Practices: Contributed to the creation of new digital content and pedagogical approaches, ensuring they align with the needs and interests of young people.
Erasmus+ Awareness: Raised awareness of the Erasmus+ program, encouraging cultural exchange and dialogue among participants.

This project not only addressed immediate challenges but also laid the groundwork for long-term improvements in the field of youth work, leaving a lasting impact on both the participants and their communities.

Youth Exchange "INTEGRATION AND SOCIAL INCLUSION THROUGH SPORT"

Participants from Netherlands, Spain, Romania, Sweden, Portugal

In this youth exchange we want to bring together 35 young people from five countries, including young Europeans and recent immigrants and motivate them to use sports activities to create successful intercultural communication. Using sports as a vehicle for integration, we hope to encourage social cohesion and cross-cultural communication.

OUR OBJECTIVES:
1. To promote fairness, inclusion, diversity, and equitable access for young people with immigrant or refugee backgrounds, particularly those who have recently arrived in the EU.
2. To address prejudice, and linguistic and cultural hurdles between young migrants and refugees from outside the EU, such as Ukraine, and European youth.
3. Promote sport as a powerful vehicle for spreading EU and sporting ideals like inclusion, solidarity, and tolerance.
4. Demonstrate to our participants the various eco friendly sports practices and eco-savvy techniques for sustainable living.
5. Provide sufficient sports and physical activity options and encourage our participants to take advantage of them in order to enhance their physical and mental health.
6. Make less experienced participants and partners aware of the Erasmus Plus program and its prospects (youth NGOs and youth groups).

Youth Exchange "Psychology of money and financial literacy"

Participants from Portugal, The Netherlands, Latvia, Romania, Croatia

Financial literacy is a core life skill for participating in modern society. Children and youth are growing up in an increasingly complex world where they will eventually need to take charge of their own financial future. European surveys show that young adults have amongst the lowest levels of financial literacy. This is reflected by their general inability to choose the right financial products and often a lack of interest in undertaking sound financial planning. Even from an early age, children need to develop the skills to help choose between different career and education options and manage any discretionary funds they may have, whether from allowances or part-time jobs. Other than a lack of financial literacy, a lot of people have a fear of money. It is often believed that being rich means being a bad person or that money is a source of evil. On the other hand, there’s a widespread myth that money is an exclusive condition to access an amazing education, start a business or make a trip around the world. Limiting beliefs are creating a lot of obstacles to lead a prosperous life. We intend to show that one does not need a lot of money to have a great education, travel the world, or establish a company. We will be talking about what it means to be mentally rich, that this is a specific mindset plus a set of financial skills.
