How was born the project idea:
Youth worker from NGO Youth Center Vihasoo participated on November 2013 in PBA “Work in Progress” Denmark, Copenhagen. During the partner building activity by group of 7 people was created the projects idea. As a practical youth workers all group members know the main problems among youth. They focus on the problem youth unemployment and started to think how start in frames of Erasmus+ programme explore this issue with youth and work on it. By them was created idea to take social network as a tool of working with problem youth unemployment because this problem is very actual nowadays and chosen instrument is also very close to youth, but usually they do not know how to use this instruments in the good way and how dangerous could it for building the future career.
Even the name of the project consist in term “CHAMPIONS” which has a special meaning. “Champions”: in order to get conversations started in an online community, you need a group of enthusiasts willing and confident to get things moving by posting messages, responding, and helping others. We decided, that it could clearly fit the topic of our project - "we are the Champions" because participants will be a group of active internet users, which would like to think on this topic and make things happen.
By youth workers were created aims, objectives of the project, work plan and the main idea that after the PBA try to involve youth to this youth exchange. If they will be interested to work on this project, will be inspired by it - in this case organization will continue cooperation and participate in the project. As project coordinators were chosen Estonia, because of the hugest experience in youth work and possibility to organize project in the good place, summer camp Vihasoo. Till the deadline youth workers made presentations in their NGO’s about the project idea and gathered the initiative team of youth. Till the deadline gave the final positive answers 4 countries with whom Estonia continue cooperation.
In Estonia as well was gathered the initiative team of 5 people who took initiative of working on project programme, methods and fill in the application form. Estonian team contacted with other youth groups from other 4 countries and organized the network in social community that to discuss, cooperate and share with news.
