STEPs 4 LIFE will be implemented by 9 partners from Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa with the purpose to introduce and to set the prerequisite for applying non-formal and informal education in the work with youngsters in pilot Partner countries like Mexico, Vietnam, Nepal, Indonesia, the Philippines and Uganda. Non-formal and informal methods in youth work are very powerful tools to enhance creativity , to enrich the personal and the professional experience and to create multiple-choice opportunities for young people. During the project the following activities are planned:Phase I. A series of international training courses for multipliers (three training courses) - one in each continent (Mexico, Indonesia and Uganda).Phase II. Delivery of national training courses to a selected group of youngsters using NFE methods immediately after each international training.Each national training will be 5 days and will compose 25 youngsters or representatives of NGOs or educational institutions. The process of preparation will be supported by NFE experts by all means of communication (skype, phone, e-mails, etc.)Phase III. Creating liaisons with university in each country in order to introduce NFEThe idea of the current activity is to present the strong points of the NFE and to encourage the application of its methods together with the formal education trying to find the appropriate balance and coherence between the two approaches.As a result at least one university per country will start to provide a course on NFE together in cooperation with the partner organisation producing more NFE multipliers or users.Phase IV. Developing NFE educational programmes/ modules.Each partner will be responsible to adopt the proposed NFE modules to their own specificities and context in order to best suit the needs of the local target communities under the supervision and guidance of the NFE experts from Bulgaria. All developed methodologies will be included in a manual for NFE.Phase V. Development of online tools for introducing NFEThe information will be provided in a very interactive way on the web platform www.steps4ngos and it will be a resource for people worldwide who would like to start using NFE in their work. The methodologies and training programmes developed during the project will be uploaded as open educational resources on the platform.Phase VI. The big event in Bulgaria – Non-formal Education Forum (NFE Forum)The event will continue 15 days.
