Youth unemployment has become a major issue for many organizations in European and non-European countries. We believe that well-performing education and training systems, with better synergies with the labour market, can help to tackle these challenge. The partnership of this project, made of 8 organizations from 7 different counties (DE, BE, ES, IT, CO, BR, ID), reflected on how to provide the younger generations with competitiveness, know how and professionalization in a field where we can offer our expertise: coffee. The group is made of NGO´s active in the youth field, business realities and a school institute. During the project 4 mobility will directly involve 72 youth workers (16 of them are participants will fewer opportunities) in a professionalizing course on coffee.Aim of the project is to offer participants and post fruiters a newly developed training concept about the whole coffee chain. As well as a multidisciplinary and international experience for the youth workers of the partner organizations. Main topic of the trainings will be coffee production but the participants will acquire in addition also confidence, personal skills, motivation and valuable workplace interaction. Our challenge is the development of social capital among young people, the empowerment of young people and their ability to participate actively in society.Innovative elements:− Result-oriented learning and competence-based educational systems.− Depth cooperation between industry and education.− Internationalization of teaching approaches.− Support the professional development of trainers and youth workers and the development of innovative educational approaches across Europe; The participation to the project will empower the participants not only as professionals but as citizens as well, making a cultural experience of sharing and communicating with people from different cultures and languages and provide them with a better understanding of the European and International Community.As a long-term benefit the project will:• Combat unemployment by providing participants and post fruiters with new skills and increase employability opportunities for participants and organization´s local members.• Create and develop better European and international networks in the coffee world, providing opportunities for cooperation among stakeholders and the exchange and transfer of knowledge and know-how in different areas,• Improve the quality and recognition of youth work and non-formal learning and enhance synergies and complementarities with other education systems and most of all with the labour market.• Promote values of sustainability, fair trade and ecology.Measurable indicators: • Web-based Resource for youth workers, trainers and multipliers: 5000 views• Course books and E-courses• Information material for stakeholders and press/media• 1,000 copies of project VIDEO/PHOTO documentation• E-book / flip book
