Project Summary

Our project is a multi-stage fellowship programme which is aimed at enhancing skills and competences of people from youth organisations from Eastern Partnership and Programme countries in social impact measurement. It would help organisations to increase their effectiveness in achieving their goals and organise effective work with their end users and other stakeholders.Our objectives are:- to organise transfer of the experience and knowledge between Programme countries and Eastern partnership countries;- to increase capacity of organisations working with youth with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills on the social impact measurement;- to spread experience on the local level in 7 countries through developing projects aimed at sharing their knowledge with their peers in youth work;- to summarise project results and organised their dissemination on the international level.All the partner organisations are organisations working with young people. Their fields of interests and activities include promoting programmes aimed at youth participation, active citizenship, youth development, leadership, empowerment, cooperation on the local level, and policy dialogue.Our UK partner carries the know-how on measuring social impact, and the rest of participants are highly motivated to learn the competency and apply it in their organisations for the benefit of the communities. This makes us an effective consortium for the delivery of this project.The group of 21 youth workers from 4 Eastern Partnership countries (Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan) and Programme Countries (Portugal, Macedonia and Poland) will:1) Take part in 2 training courses about understanding and using social impact approaches;2) Conduct researches of the implementation of the social impact in their organisations;3) Conduct local initiatives aimed at sharing their knowledge with their peers in youth work;5) Take part in the final conference with the aim to evaluate the whole project results, share the experience of the local projects, share the new experiences and plan the follow up activities;6) Design and disseminate manual with the project results.The duration of the project is 17 month.
