Project Summary

Introduction:Yo Se II. was a project that aims to establish a dynamic network of volunteering and job shadowing between 3 European and 3 Global partners, through which we transfered the concept of Social and Solidarity Economy from Non-EU to Europe. This network shared its best practices among itself, within the organizations and among the local communities. The short period EVS (2 months) and job shadowing (14 days) is intended to accommodate the needs of young people who are looking for jobs and also youth workers who are looking for experience in that approach to economy. European partners were contributed by their long experience in youth work and inclusion politics.Partner Countries:• From Global South: Bolivia, India and Uruguay.• From Europe: Hungary, Portugal and Spain.Aim: Developed a platform for the inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities through the import and activation of the social and solidarity economy model, and fostering their mobility and employability within youth work in a sustainable way.Objectives:1. Develop the competences of youth workers to upscale their work with youth in matters related to social economy.2. Empower young people with fewer opportunities and support their mobility and employability.3. Sharing best practices learned throughout the project on organizational, local and transnational levels.4. Support youth vocational education and entrepreneurship learning.Activity Steps:1. Kick-off meeting.2. Sending 3 youth workers from Europe and 3 from Global South on 14-day job shadowing programs.3. Sending 24 volunteers from Europe and 6 from Latin America on 2-month EVS programs.4. International training organized by the youth workers in the aftermath of their job shadowing for making recommendations for creating inclusion practices.5. Developing 30 Vlogs made by volunteers 6. Developing a manual that tackles the crisis of youth unemployment through introducing social and solidarity economy.Desired Impact:We expected this project to positively influence the employability and mobility of youth with fewer opportunities and raise the caliber of youth workers, not only within the partner organizations, but in much wider networks after the dissemination of results, videos and recommendations, and open-sourcing the training manual.
