Project Summary

This project was created to answer to a need that was detected in our global society where the efforts for N-S cooperation among youth structures, exchange and mutual initiatives are not being supported enough. In youth work specifically there are not too many (or better said not enough) educational opportunities for youth workers that can enable them to bring the global dimension to the youth work. This project offered the opportunity for youth workers and leaders to explore deeper global topics, interdependency and sustainably, as well how to bring these important dimensions in their work, to their beneficiaries trough advance facilitation and training skills (necessary for a quality management of global education processes).
The main goal of the project was to increase the capacity of youth organizations to raise the level of global citizenship competencies among young people in European and African societies.
More specific objectives were:
• To trigger positive organizational changes in youth organizations (to have a more green and sustainable organization, to implement more sustainable and ethical projects and activities, to tackle more global issues in their projects);
• To increase the level of quality and professionalization in local and international (focus on intercontinental) projects for the youth organization involved;
• To encourage the youth organization to diversify their approach in working with young people by the inspiration they get from exchange of best practices in youth work (in intercontinental context);
• To increase the knowledge level of youth workers and young people in topics like: global interdependencies (from cultural, economic and political approach), post 2015 agenda, social and global justice, intercultural learning, human rights, climate change and other environment topics, responsible consumerism and sustainable lifestyle, sustainable development
• To develop youth workers skills in managing global education methods: experiential learning, non-formal education methods, etc.
• To develop youth workers advanced facilitations skills required in managing global education process and transferable to other type of educational activities;
• To stimulate the internalization of global values (as solidarity, global consciences, responsibility, etc.) to young people and youth workers
• To develop youth workers practical skills in developing global citizenship competencies in their own communities;
• To increase the level of sustainable life styles of young people, youth workers and youth organizations;
• To empower and motivate the youth workers to act as global education facilitators in their own organization and regions;
• To introduce “Erasmus + programme”, as a great provider of educational opportunities.
The main direct beneficiaries of the project

– 9544 friends and families of the direct beneficiaries (youth workers and young people) which were inspired by the example and experience of the closes ones and triggered changes in their lives as well (on different levels)
– local communities of each partner by the changes introduced in the youth organizations active in those communities which will become more active, green, sustainable, engaged
