Young people facing challenges during the transition to adulthood need specialist support services. Innovative approaches to delivering specialist support services will be explored in two areas: TOPIC 1 "MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR VOCATIONAL EXPERIENCE ABROAD FOR DISADVANTAGED YOUTH" It is is widely recognized by experts that the international exchange of young people offers significant opportunities for formal and informal learning. The impementation of this for disadvantaged youth will be the subject of partner contact seminars. The aim is to explore how opportunities could be offered regularly to young people as part of external vocational training. This part of the project was implemented as planned. There were - in addition to numerous preparatory meetings - two direct meetings of experts held, one each in Bremen and in Hertfordshire County. It involved representatives from several relevant institutions: the Youth Welfare Office, schools, educational institutions and, not least, commercial firms and organizations. TOPIC 2 "EXCHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT OF GOOD PRACTICE IN WORK WITH UNACCOMPANIED YOUNG REFUGEES". Young unaccompanied refugees face many practical problems linked to both their situation and their personal perspective. Professionals are keen to support young refugees well, but need support to develop good practice. High workload often prevents reflection and the development of good practice and new ideas. The partner contact seminars aim to create an opportunity for an exchange of good practice and the development of innovative approaches. Since the unexpectedly high number of young refugees (expected this year more than 1,500 young people, a fourfold increase over the previous year) currently binds all possible resources in Bremen, currently unfortunately it is not possible to address the issue at international level. This part of the project has therefore not been pursued.
