Project Summary

The project has 2 type of FELLOWSHIPS: For youth SCOs managers, decision makers and project managers open for most experienced youth workers from each partner and external SCOs. They pass transnational trainings for FELLOWSHIP promotion and management, and work for 12 months on promotion, management and implementation and evaluation with both key mentors of the project, stakeholders and the fellows themselves. In the process they improve project management, networking, training skills and intercultural capacity. They work on both local assignments and this transnational project as each fellow promoter communicates with at least 150 external SCOs, experts, stakeholders and policymakers. They design programs, evaluate fellows, support fellows projects, support project partners in organisation of fellows selection and the TEST events YOUTH academies for youth workers and for youth leaders. They volunteer and train in the VIRTUAL support centre or promote the project, support project partners for local promotion events. This fellowship thus accelerates youth SCO managers’ capacity to manage and promote youth projects and engages them in active interaction with most motivated youth leaders and workers during the project. Second type of fellowships /based on 12 joint programes/ aims at the brightest and most motivated youth workers and youth leaders – 200 at least from the 6 countries. It is highly competitive and has: 1 kick off, interim and on-line 6 month training module, followed by 6 month job shadowing from lead experts of all project partners. BOTH TYPES of fellowships are merit based, all fellows are challenged to promote their job and results, and only the most motivated and successful gain access to second training rounds. The YOUTHWORK ACADEMY events are in fact large scale, highly interactive forums for exchange of best practices for youth work among the most motivated youth workers from each country and also platform where each FELLOW has place to present projects, ideas and vision for the future of their youth projects. Each project second exchange /training course is for the best, on-line nominated fellows which stimulates them to use ICT and social media promotion skills so as not only to share the challenges met but also the local project designed, the impact of local youth. Our Fellows are thus motivated to show the best in their work, and inspire more young people to participate in local life, or youth workers to pursue the E+ opportunities for training, mobility and study abroad. BOTH FELLOWSHIPs train and involve Fellows in interactions and debates with experts from SCOs and public bodies from consortium, but also in interaction with local SCOs, stakeholders and policymakers from the 6 countries. In addition Partner search group and individual network sessions are provided by the VIRTUAL support tool. The project is co-manages, shared is responsibility not only among the partners but also among the key project and mentorship
