FINISHED
Youth represent 38,5% of total unemployed population in EU. Unemployment implies lack of opportunities & is one of the causes of social exclusion. Youth mainstream/with fewer opportunities often lack necessary competences/experiences in order to enter or stay in labour market. NFE within youth work provides valuable learning experiences. There are different tools developed within European youth programmes to support recognition and transfer of these learning experiences into young people's further studies or labour market, Youthpass being main instrument in this respect.All partners are dealing with NFE and empowering youngsters. Focus of the TC is to empower youth trainers to develop/lead quality NFE programmes on youth employment and entrepreneurship in order to combat youth unemployment and exclusion. This project will allow focusing efforts of organization on urgency of providing necessary competences to young people who were never employed and becoming a space where those who recently lost employment can maintain their competences and use them in the civic life. The 10 days long training course “Youth trainings and trainers for employment” is the core activity of the project. It gathers 32 participants, trainers and staff members from 12 partner organisations from 11 countries (RS, ME, BA, AL, HR, MK, FR, SL, BE, PT, SI). The TC involves 17 people with fewer opportunities. TC will be held in Novi Sad, Serbia from 1st- 10th December 2015.Objectives:• Reflect & exchange realities about youth unemployment/entrepreneurship & existing youth work programmes• Discuss how NFE can positively influence better youth employability and share examples of good practices combating youth unemployment• Empower participants for active promotion of youth employment & for work on raising youth employability skills• Empower youth workers to become quality youth trainers of NFE activities for the (unemployed) youth in our communities• Encourage development of different education programmes for empowerment of unemployed youth in local communities• Present the Erasmus+ and encourage creation of future projects with unemployed youngstersTC is based on pedagogical understanding of the CoE and EC Partnership Programme and our own expertise in youth NFE work for employment. As training materials we will use SALTO booklets, Compass, etc. TC will follow NFE approach, principles and methods. Project will have biggest impact on direct beneficiaries-participants who will further develop creative and analytical thinking of active citizenship for development of inclusive society through development of youth NFE activities with strong accent on entrepreneurship & employability skills of youth.We expect increase in number of young people in local communities that will get closer to getting a job and will increase their employability skills, through increased quality of NFE activities in communities.
