Quality Network Cooperation
Start date: Oct 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project QuNeCo – which stands for QUALITY NETWORK COOPERATION – aims at creating a strong network among 3 Latin American, 4 European and 2 Asian youth organisations wishing to host/send youth with fewer opportunities for EVS. Furthermore, the project will help youth workers gain new competences, improve the quality of youth work and enable 18 young Europeans to do EVS in another country/continent. The result of the project will be a stable and sustainable network of 9 organisations willing to host and send volunteers with fewer opportunities abroad, 17 EVS projects for youth with fewer opportunities abroad, follow-up EVS projects, an EVS supervision training module and an improved quality of youth work. The primary target group are young people aged 18 to 30 in each partner organisation, preferably youth with fewer opportunities. This project will support their further personal development and preparation for the project. Secondary target group of the project are a project coordinator and 3-6 youth workers in each partner organisation which are actively involved in work with these young people. The youth workers will gain new intercultural and professional experience during this project. The local community in all partner organisations will also greatly benefit from the project – especially in terms of intercultural learning and tolerance. The following activities will take place during the project: - Partnership building seminar (10 project coordinators + KERIC experts) - EVS (17 young people with fewer opportunities) - 6 EVS supervisions during the second month of the EVS (KERIC coordinator + European coordinator) - Final meeting (9 project coordinators + 1 expert) Through the youth mobility projects, this project will help to solve the issues connected with the community where the young people with fewer opportunities come from. By motivating the young people to change their lives, gradual steps will be taken to the change of their community as such. We expect that the employability of young people with fewer opportunities at the labour market will be increased. Secondly, we expect that the living conditions of the young people and their community will be improved in the long run – especially issues of poverty, social exclusion and isolation. Other themes that will be particularly addressed by the project are:  cultural diversity  prejudice, racism, xenophobia  participation of young people in public life  inclusion of young people with less opportunities  global issues European, Asian and Latin American awareness  Underdevelopment of rural areasThe methods of work follow the principles of non-formal education.
