Project Summary

The consortium has decided to carry out a training project for youth workers that deals with prevention and fight against early school leaving (ESL). Being all bodies working in the youth field, finding themselves collaborating on other programs and discussing the needs that exist among young people, the partners have realized that School dropout (ESL) is a theme common to all four countries participating in the project (Tunisia, Italy, Spain, Turkey).All the partners of the consortium agree in considering ESL a multi factorial concept that includes education, but also the socio-economic situation, the family and the environment.Economic problems, such as lack of resources to attend school, as well as a poor relationship with teachers or lack of resources and support in schools, result in poor student involvement due to an unsatisfactory learning environment and in a high drop-out rate.For these reasons, ESL is considered a complex problem to be tackled, as it is necessary to intervene on various aspects of young people’s life: the family, the school environment, the relationship with teachers and other youth workers, the environmental and economic aspects.The NEEDS the project “Capacity Building in Early School-Leaving” aims to answer to are common to project partner countries and are as follows:- To give youth workers more tools to use in their job through a on-site workshop, a brochure and an online training.- To raise Youth Workers awareness about young people needs.- To involve families, youth workers, schools, local authorities and local associations in the activities of education and prevention of early school leaving.- To foster cooperation and exchange in the field of youth between Program Countries and Partners Countries through involving youth organizations that aim at increasing school attendance.The main project ACTIVITIES will be:1- Kick Off Meeting2- Workshop in Tunis3- Workshop: Online Training for YW by University of Gazi4- Second Meeting in Spain5- Mobility of Youth Workers: Job Shadowing in Spain6- Mobility of Youth Workers: “Week of Social Game”7- Final Meeting in TunisiaThe main PRODUCTS will be:a) A Job Shadowing activity of 16 days about prevention of ESL.b) An online training of 20-hours online about methodologies against early school leavingc) A brochure available online that will be a versatile tools in the fight and prevention of ESL through non-formal and informal education methods.
