Description
Problem we are aiming to tackle: the impact of E+ projects is rarely extended beyond the individual level, in the local communities where participants go back after the projects. There are several causes leading to this: selection of appropriate participants, youth workers find it difficult to motivate and support youngsters to initiate their own local projects and to become more active, lack of understanding of what the role of a youth worker is within an international collaboration.
AIM: to increase the competences of youth leaders who have roles of Erasmus+ project
coordinators related to participant selection for youth exchanges, evaluation of their learning and
support for dissemination and follow-up activities.
OBJECTIVES:
O1: to boost participants’ competences in working with youngsters in international projects by addressing their communication skills for youth empowerment and involvement.
O2: to equip participants with tools and knowledge on strategic local project development.
O3: to develop participants’ ability to support youngsters to initiate local projects as follow-ups of E+ projects.
O4: to create space for them to share practices and experiences of working with international projects to identify techniques that proved useful in the past.
O5: to support them in creating a personalised strategy adaptable for each partner organisation for E+ participant support following the recruitment-involvement-follow-up path.
