Project Summary

This project is part of Key Action 205 – innovation. With a duration of 24 months and a consortium made up of five organizations from Spain, Slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria. With a multidisciplinary team able to tackle all the tasks to obtain the expected results.

The purpose of this project is to improve the quality of Erasmus + projects, improving the skills of youth workers, providing them with practical and useful tools that enable them to train and act appropriately in emergency situations or incidents that arise during a project. These protocols will be established to act in case of serious injuries, deaths, fires, violence, allergic attacks … and all those accidents that are not contemplated in the official documents and guides.

Objectives
–> Improving Erasmus + projects from the point of view of quality, solution of accidents and risk prevention.
–> Providing youth workers with the necessary skills to deal with emergency / accident / risky situations in a successful manner, minimizing the consequences. So that young people who participate in these projects have greater guarantees of safety and reliability.

Direct target group:
–> Youth workers, youth leaders, staff of organizations and responsible for youth organizations and projects. That is, those who have responsibilities and lead youth initiatives within the framework of the program.
Indirect target group:
–> Young people participating in Erasmus + projects. They will benefit from safer and higher quality projects.

Activities
To achieve this project’s goals there are many activities that we will implement. We can classify them in two areas: those corresponding to the Intellectual Output and those corresponding to management and implementation.
Intellectual Output:
–> Through this project, a web and app platform will be created where information and action protocols will be collected in order to face risky situations that may occur in Erasmus + projects, specifically youth exchanges, training courses and volunteering.
–> Multiplier events in each country to disseminate the achieved IO.

Management and implementation:
–> Development of the Quality Management Plan and quality controls.
–> Transnational meetings: in Spain in month 1; in Bulgaria in month 9; In Slovakia in month 16; In Romania in the month 22.
–> Dissemination activities where one of the partners;
–> Creation and maintenance of the project website and the relevant social network pages;
–> Information notes.

The results of the project will be the following:
–> To inform workers and youth leaders about the degree of action, responsibility, consequences, possible legal risks that derive from an emergency situation or accident.
–> Providing tools and resources to youth workers, trainers, facilitators and members of a staff, which are useful and resolutive when it comes to solve emergency situations, accidents or inappropriate behaviors of any person within the activity itself.
–> To encourage motivation, information and training of the participants through sharing ideas and good practices to reach common interests and know how to take / apply effective measures in situations of risk.
–> Sensitizing youth workers about the difference between organizing and responsibility.
–> Improving the quality of Erasmus + mobility projects.
–> To increase confidence in the Erasmus + program.
–> Providing youth organizations with great support for the clarification of roles, rules, tasks and bureaucracy.

These results generate impact at the local, regional, national and international levels. About the organizations that make up the consortium: youth workers and leaders of the activities, young people themselves and the National Agencies and, by extension, the European Commission, all of them will have a tool that they can use to train themselves or to act in cases of emergency, accidents, risks … and always in order to make the Erasmus + projects safer and more reliable.

Long-term impact:
We intend to improve the work of the youth workers and consequently the Erasmus + program, generating more confidence and encouraging more young people to participate in Erasmus + projects. We will promote the action protocols. We will also improve the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the field of work with youth and non-formal learning, thanks to the support of a free access kind of learning and severial open educational resources. All the content and the final result will be offered to the community in digital format and as an open resource, so that any European can benefit in this regard.
