Project Summary

Exchange of Good Practice between Professional Youth Streetworkers in the EU
The project is devoted to cooperation at transnational level, sharing and confronting ideas, practices and methods, and developing and reinforcing European branch of Dynamo International Street Workers Network (DISWN).
The aim is to promote the European objective of promoting high-quality youth work with marginalized youth and professionalization of youth workers. The project partners, all working with a special method of youthwork – outreach work – will focus on sharing good practice regarding up-to-date topics of radicalization, refugees, economy migration, unemployment of young people.
Sharing of good practice was done via method of short, but intense and detailed reciprocal study visits of project partners from Czech Republic, Netherlands, Spain, Austria and Germany. Most project partners are platform organizations joining together large number of outreach (street) workers in their countries. Eg. Czech Streetwork Association (CAS), the applicant, joins together more than 90 outreach work organizations from all over the Czech Republic. Eight study visits took place throughout the project period, five youth streetworkers participated on each study visit. Local dissemination event took place in the Czech Republic at the end of the project – a conference for youth streetworkes and other relevant experts.
A collection of professional reports from study visits – E-BOOK was produced to allow as many interested stakeholders as possible to gain good practice and experience from the series of study visits. The E-BOOK is available in English and Czech language.
