Project Summary

The first objective of the “Link 2 Continents” was to strengthen the cooperation between Asia and Europe through a project made of different steps and activities which together created a learning process for all the organizations and persons involved. The aim, which was reached, was to support the organizations and youth workers involved to develop new skills and approach new tools for improving the work with young people. During all the project the focus on the topic of diversity was constant and enriched with different point of views. The participating organizations were from Italy, Slovakia, Spain, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, this proposal was a follow-up of a cooperation project organized in 2013/14 and has created new collaborations and enforced old ones. “Link 2 Continents” has seen the implementation of a Kick-off meeting in Italy in March 2017 followed by a training course in Thailand in May, 12 EVS short term mobility activities between May and September 2017, local workshops with schools and local partners in each country during all the project and on beginning of 2018 6 job shadowing activities for youth workers. The project produced a concrete output called “Scriptamanent – Volunteers share their experience” which gives visibility and dissemination of their volunteering travel on the other side of the continent, and acts as tool for generating new projects and increase young peoples’ participation in youth projects.
