Our Project aims to explore sports and culture in youth work as a way for young people to develop employability skills. context/background of project; The project has grown out of different exchanges carried out in past years with similar organisations where young people have expressed some "unexpected outcomes" in how the project went far beyond the intended impact and how valuable the exchange was for them later on in life. DHEF is quite experienced in youth work and has carried out many exchanges, as well as Cafranc whilst the partner organisations in Slovenia and Latvia are a bit less experienced in this area, but very interested in developing their expertise. The exchange will be between 30 yp with fewer opportunities from the UK and 30 from Spain. Through the sporting and cultural activities designed and selected by both the Spanish and the British YP we will be able to develop several tools which we can share with the rest of the organisations in the September networking event where we will plan the activities for 2015 among the 4 countries. An English youth worker will spend25 days shadowing and learning from the spanish organisation on how they monitor and evaluate non formal learning for 13-17 years old a group of young people with whom we are finding harder to engage long term. An Slovenian youth worker will spend 15 days observing a residential in Glasgow. Thus the project has as its main objective to develop the employability skills of young people through non formal learning, and to develop the way youth work is carried out with young people 13-17 in 4 European countries. We will be working with 60 Young people and a total of 49 youth workers. The young people are a mix of people living in tough conditions in inner cities (London, Manchester and Glasgow) and Spanish young people coming from families hard hit by the economic crisis. The Youth workers are mainly volunteers youth workers, many of them coming from hard to reach backgrounds and have learnt on the job. These is a great opportunity for many of them to get inspired, work on future plans and see how youth work is being done in other countries and contexts. The networking event in September is short but will set the tone for the academic year and we will be able to establish common themes to work on in 2015. The methodology will be non formal activities as a way to develop employability skills with an emphasis a short description of the results and impact envisaged and finally the potential longer term benefits.
