Taking off. Youth Work Connection.
Start date: Jun 1, 2016, End date: Nov 30, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

This project aims to support the cooperation within EuroMed countries, performing a study visit in Morocco, chosen as the right scenario for it, given its stability among arab countries. How are they facing the challenges in youth work in EuroMed countries? The answer will come out not only from Moroccan associations, public agents and experts in the youth field, but also from other countries from the same region that will travel to Morocco for this project, making a group with the European partner participants to discuss the situation and share good practices.The purposes of “Taking off. Youth work connection” are:-Foster cooperation and experience in the field of youth between Morocco and the participating countries-Learn about and spread EU values among young workers in Morocco to improve active participation of youth in development-Improvement of quality of youth work and non-formal education, sharing expertise.This project will give the participants the opportunity to discover one side of the Moroccan young society, getting to know about the youth polices and actors involved in promoting the non-formal education and volunteering services.The study visit will start giving a presentation for the participants to understand the aim of this project, being open to proposals of topics discussions, explaining the challenges Moroccan youth face and the way to tackle them through this useful tool, sharing good practices with the rest of the countries participants.The Study Visit will bring experienced youth workers from associations and workers from governmental and nongovernmental organizations that carry out their work in the field of youth and youth politics from EU Program Countries and Euro Mediterranean countries. This way, they will be able to create future project ideas.The reason why we want to involve participants from this 2 areas is that we strongly believe that the cooperation between different countries contribute to establish peace and stability and sustainable development, eliminating prejudices though cultural exchange. We want to make sure that we all can learn from such different points of view, enhance the international dimension of youth activities, strengthening the role of youth organizations taking into account their role supporting structures for young people promoting cooperation among program actors and partner countries, in the line with Erasmus + mobility purposes.Euro Mediterranean countries are facing challenges in political and economic strength, consolidating reforms, fundamental rights, and many others. The Moroccan government is fighting for this to improve, but we believe that the young people are the main actors that have to take a step further, and non formal education is a key tool for that. Youth should know about countries surrounding them, their political situation, religion, traditions so they are ready for collaboration, accept EU values, get new skills to get ready to face the international scenery. On the same line, EU youth population should be aware about potentials of other nations, eliminating prejudices, raising awareness and enhancing further collaboration. These objectives match both the needs of the participant countries and Erasmus + purposes.
