PROJECT
FINISHED
A great deal of communication in today's society happens through technology, face-to-face communication is preferred. The founders of the applying organisation have noticed in their daily work that education focuses on individual development rather than collaboration. Therefore, it is more difficult for the youth to express themselves and manage co-work. The youth either do not value their own opinion or express themselves too forcefully, excluding the opprotunity for collaboration. In addition to that, the youth are doubtful when deciding their own future and rely on others' opinions. Also, the youth tends to easily neglect reaching their goals aka they are ofter lacking consistency.
The goal of the project is to inspire the youth to take charge of their own decisions, according to their own ideas, to motivate not only to be ambitious but to also complete their tasks. In additon to that, we wish to expand the participants' self-confidence when dealing with negative themes. The main focus of the project is to enhance the youth's self-confidence, courage, self-expression and their ability to work as a team member. These are all qualities that are important in school, at work, when doing extracurricular activities and reaching your own individual goals.
There are 30 youths (ages 18-30), five of them are group leaders, taking part of the youth exchange. There are 10 NEET youths taking part of the project.
The activities follow a certain goal - the participants acquire acknowledge and skills, how sport and performing help boost confidence and how to use previous when working with the youth. The activities will be taught by using non-formal study methods, focusing on team work.
The applying organisation is in heavy contact with the partners. All the group leaders took part of the process of creating the daily program. The applying orgasnisation focuses on the contentment of the partners, giving them an opportunity to organise, carry out and influence the activities of the project. In addition to that, the applying organisation provides advice and necessary information. Though-out the project, the aim of the project is emphasised.
The project should enhance the courange and self-confidence of the applicants. In additon to that, they have created and/or learnt great methods to use sport and performance to boost their self-confidence and raise their courage to work with the youth. Through-out the project the participants have the chance to experience the ways, how sport and performance help boost their confidence and gain gourage. Also, the project should help along the process of becoming more independent by being confident enough to make one's own decisions. This will encourage them to express their opinion, whilst considering others, and to analyse their activities and decisions.
The methods used during a project will be made into a compendium that the participants can use for their future work. In additons to the methods, the descriptions of the thoughts and emotions of the participants will be added. Each method will also consist of suggestions about situations and age groups.
Since there are several workshops and group exercises through-out the project, then the participants have an excellent opportunity to work together and communicate with the youth with different background. This will both expand their knowledge of other cultures and enhance the chances of future collaboration.
