The international seminar "ScoutNet 2015 - Empowerment for and through Europe" is targeting multipliers and youth leaders active in Scouting in our projects partners associations and structures. We aim to consolidate the loose and existing for several years Network of youth associations and put it on a broughter basis with a clear european approach. In general we want to involve more of Europe in our Network and the Networks activities and in specific we aim to: - inform and raise awareness in the structures of our partner organizations concerning the current development in european youth policy, as well as concnering the role of the typical youth movements (like Scouting) in this process, - Empowerment of participants (partner organizations and youth leaders) to constantly involve european topics in their work not only by informing them but also by showing them tools to act (e. g. Youthpass), - to raise awareness and empowerment with the youthleaders in different countries for their own role and capacity in non-formal education, - to deal intensivly with the topics of non-formal education, evaluation of non-formal learning outcomes as well as real participation of _all_ young people, - rethink the aims and vision of the ScoutNet Network (so far friendly relations, fostering of international exchange as well as best practice exchange) and in the best case create and agree on a new vision of the Network enriched by european topics. The participants should get to know and undertand the european political frame of the development in youth policy and get enabled to create a link to their daily work with children and young people in their youth associations. By doing so they can understand better their individual role and their youth associations role in the bigger context, measure their capacity and even influence the political development and practice in their association.
