Project Summary

The Project “Track One” aims to increase the quality and thereby outreach of youth work by encouraging innovative and collaborative practices between organizations/institutions who are interested to use and practice outdoor adventure education as the main working methodology. This project focuses to increase the efficiency of the youth work through promoting and raising capacities in Outdoor and Adventure Education. The project consists of 3 Stages and 10 capacity building and mobility activities.First stage invests in professional growth of the youth workers and youth leaders, through training course and fellowship and study visits.The second stage will be focusing more interphase activities and local activities, practice and working on grassroots level.The third stage is oriented to digest, sum up and document the gained practices, focus on tools for dissemination and follow up Through the whole duration of the project its activities are build up in a way that they encourage building up and strengthening relationships between the project partners and other civil society organizations & public bodies. To start with, during the motilities of the Track One project there are several visits envisioned. (Job Shadowing & Both Study visits.) It involves youth center, climbing gym which is actually doing youth work, school and civil society organizations. Moreover, one of the central parts of the project is Stage 2, local empowerment, which involves cooperation with NEW schools/youth centers in the region the partner organization operates in. Therefore new relations with them will be built and reinforced during the whole project. We have applied for separate funding for this stage because we consider this aspect crucial for the achievement of the goal of the project. We do believe these new cooperations will not finish together with this project and continue further afterwards.Also, very importantly, as stated above in the description, on the meta level our purpose is to lobby the OAE in the formal education system in our countries. So we would like to send all the outcomes to ministries of education/youth/sport (specific in different countries) in our countries as a recommendation and invitation for future collaboration, that hopefully will bring some more OAE into schools.Another cross-sectoral cooperation will be in case of Georgian partner DRONI. As during the project there is several activities taking place in Borjom-Kharagauli National park, the organization will deepen the partnership with the park administration and Agency of Protected Areas of Georgia. The cooperation has started during previous outdoor projects and some positive results has been achieved. The project has a great emphasis on youth work development through Outdoor and Adventure Education, and it seeks for cooperation and interactions with various stakeholders active in youth field.
