Innovative Youth work 2.0

Introduction

The project is part of the Eramus+ programme for the period of 1.8.2020 – 31.7.2023.

The goals for this project are to strengthen the employability and employment of young people who are at risk of exclusion by creating services and platforms that can benefit them.

Innovative Youth Work 2.0 project aims at learning from each other and creating a new model that brings together all the strengths of each participant. As the paths to employment become easier, entrepreneurship and orientation will be strengthened.

As a result of the project, a cooperation with actors and the network, practices and models for identifying and meeting the service needs of young people in the target group have been developed and adherence to youth services has been strengthened. Project staff and collaborative networks have developed policies that promote smoother employment paths for the young people.

What was done 

The project consisted of transnational meetings, job shadowing, online meetings, workshops and multiplier events. Transnational meetings, job shadowing and project closing multiplier events were held in each participating country.

Transnational meetings took place first. During the meetings participants learnt about each other’s methods of working, got to know their best practices and held workshops for developing the intellectual outputs.

Job shadowing events strengthened the understanding and made visible each participant’s daily work, best practices and also challenges with the target group.

Workshops were held both during the transnational meetings and online. Most of the planning and check ups were carried out as online meetings.

The project closure was implemented as multiplier events. Each participant organized two events to present the results and achievements of the project for stakeholders and other networks.
