Start date: Aug 15, 2015, End date: Aug 14, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

This initiative stems from a concern for the employability of a group of young, all workers in the field of youth, trainers, facilitators, workshop, etc. Who are unemployed. A little over two years ago were formed in association with the aim of conducting training courses, workshops non-formal and informal education, through partnerships and collaborations with other organizations, which in turn allowed them a job opportunity. The Arketipa Cultural Association, wants to open a new training line through formal and informal education: Workshops for theater, music, dancing, visual arts, etc. for young people with special needs, specifically young people with intellectual disabilities, since starting from contact with various associations in this area, including the Association of youth with intellectual disabilities Tots Junts Podem, has concluded that there is a deficiency in supply of recreational and educational workshops tailored to these groups. The main objective of this project is precisely this, training the trainers, for participating organizations initiate or improve their training lines through non-formal and informal education specific targeted at youth with special needs, through an exchange of experiences and best practices to create a common training route for all participating countries and organizations. To do this, each participating organization brings to the project the methodologies that they are more specialized and have more experience to reinforce the acquisition of skills from other participants trainers, in this manner: The Arketipa (Spain) association provide learning methodologies through Plastic Arts, AGISCO (Italy) innovative methodologies through the performing arts, Katsika (Greece) non-formal education through music and dance, SENK (Poland) methodologies for the promotion of youth entrepreneurship and integration of TIC`s in learning methodologies, CEPIR (Romania) methodologies for integrating young people with fewer opportunities, Mostart (Hungary) and the association Tots Junts Podem (Spain) adaptation of non-formal education for young with special needs, especially intellectual disabilities. To meet this objective they will be formed for 10 months. that learning procedure will be concluded by a seminar for workers in the field of youth in Spain, Valencia will be made, it will be 6 days duration in which each participating organization will have time to explain in detail their best practices regarding work with young people with special needs, through a non-formal, innovative and diverse methodology to better understand the reality of each organization. One of the key parts of this meeting is that young people with special needs from Tots Junts Podem association, participate in various areas of this seminar being able to express their opinions, trying to involve them in participation workshops to exchange experiences, to listen to their opinions in person. In conclusion of the conference, we will try to define a learning path for young people with special needs that is common to all organizations from different countries of Europe, and agree on items for assessing the impact and the outcomes of these workshops, dynamics and training activities, in order to implement it later in all the countries and go evaluating it regularly and sharing the results and proposals for improvement, so that youth workers of various countries can increase the quality of educational services provided to young people with special needs. The impact of this project will be great because youth workers are multiplier agents that will extend the impact of the project to all young people with special needs involved in the new training line adapted that will be created by collecting the best practices of all participating organizations from different European countries. The expected impact is to participate at least 50 young people with special needs annually and average for each country, bringing the number to a total of 300 young people with disabilities from 6 countries participating actively in this common training line across Europe. This project is not considered an isolated initiative, but in the long term it is hoped to increase the number of workshops offered, the number of participating organizations, continuously improve the adaptation to the special needs of youth and gradually incorporate all the improvements and innovations which give better results in each of the countries.
