Project Summary

Post-YU Trilateral Bottom Up Learning (PYTBUL) je strateško partnerstvo, namenjeno razvoju novih, inovativnih orodij za intelektualno emancipacijo mladih, ki bodo dopolnjevala in/ali zapolnila vrzeli v že obstoječih možnostih za (samo)zaposlovanje mladih. Moči v partnerstvu smo združevali Zavod Bob iz Slovenije, Volonterski centar Istra s Hrvaške in Impact Hub Belgrade iz Srbije. Projekt je trajal 17 mesecev – od septembra 2015 do januarja 2017.
V projektu smo razvili orodja in modele za podporo mladim pri (samo)zaposlovanju, izkušnje smo izmenjali na štirih mednarodnih srečanjih, rezultate pa predstavili na Dogodku za razširjanje rezultatov. Partnerske organizacije smo z delovanjem v svojih lokalnih okoljih mlade in mladinske delavce pozvale in vključevale kot aktivne sooblikovalce projektnih aktivnosti in rezultatov.
Mladi, mladinski delavci in drugo strokovno osebje partnerskih organizacij smo v sodelovanju razvili orodja in modele za podporo mladim pri razvijanju njihovih kompetenc pri (samo)zaposlovanju:
– PRiKAZ, Program za razvoj kompetenc za avtonomne zaposlitve
– Add+venture, spletno orodje, ki mladim podjetnikom omogoča samorefleksijo, interaktivno povezovanje, vrstniško učenje preko dobrih praks in osebnih zgodb, mentorstvo, ter spremljanje razvoja njihove poslovne ideje, ne glede na (ne)profitnost
– Youth Volunteer Management Guidebook, ki naslavlja specifike mladih prostovoljcev, upravljanje in priznavanje njihovega dela in pridobljenih kompetenc ter osmišljanje v kontekstu mladinskega dela
– Predlogi točkovanja za štipendije najbolj aktivnih mladih v mladinskih aktivnostih s poudarkom na njihovi aktivni participaciji in soustvarjanju.
– Spletna stran projekta Knowledge Exchange Base (pytbul.org) nam je služila kot orodje za izmenjavo in zbiranje informacij na teme: zaposlovanje mladih, zgodbe mladih, ki jim je ‘uspelo’, zakonodaja, mladinske politike v regiji, raziskave analize s področja ipd..
– ‘Deklaracija o pomenu mladinskega dela’ pomemben dokument, ki je nastal na osnovi primerjalne analize obstoječe zakonodaje, ki ureja mladinski sektor v Post-YU regiji, primerov dobre prakse, ocene vpliva mladinskega dela na razvoj kompetenc mladih za (samo)zaposlovanje in priporočil politikam. Osnovana je kot poziv trem deležnikom, ki so jih mladi definirali kot poglavitne za mladinski sektor: odločevalcem, mladinskim delavcem in mladim.
S povezovanjem v tem strateškem partnerstvu smo razvili nove povezave v lokalnem okolju in mednarodno, zlasti v procesu prepoznavanja dobrih praks na mednarodnih srečanjih pri partnerskih organizacijah. Načrtujemo nov projekt sodelovanja, ki smo ga razširili na povezovanje z organizacijami iz Makedonije.
ENGLISH
Post-YU Trilateral Bottom Up Learning (PYTBUL) is a strategic partnership project in the field of youth primarily aimed for developing new, innovative and complementary tools and models for empowering youth in the region and fostering youth self-employability. Three partner organizations, Zavod Bob from Slovenia, Volonterski centar Istra from Croatia and Impact Hub Belgrade from Serbia, have gathered forces to address the important issues concerning youth. The project duration was 17 months – from September 2015 till January 2017.
The project results are:
– PDCAE, Program for Developing Competences for Autonomous Employment – a program of non-formal learning
– Venture Growth Road-map, an online tool enabling young entrepreneurs to self-reflect, connect, establish peer-to-peer learning practices; engage in mutual mentorship and start and track their venture development.
– The Youth Volunteer Management Guidebook, addresses the specifics of young volunteers and the management of their work, certifying of gained competencies – and comparing it to general youth work.
– Local scholarships policy recommendations consist of recommendations on the criteria, procedures, amounts awarded per student per month and the consequences of receiving a scholarship.
– Knowledge Exchange Base (pytbul.org), the project website/blog containing (1) latest news from PYTBUL (2) information on policies, analysis and other documents concerning youth sector and (3) sharing stories of young people who DID IT
– Declaration on Value of Youth Work created based on comparative analysis of legislations regarding youth sector in the countries of participating organizations, examples of good practices, and the assessment of the impact that the youth work activities have on developing competencies for youth (self)employment and policy recommendations. It contains recommendation for three important stakeholders for emancipation of the youth sector: youth themselves, youth workers and decision makers.
In this partnership we established new connections in local and international environments, especially in recognizing good practices on the international project meetings. We are now planning a new cooperation project that includes as well connecting with youth organizations from Macedonija.
