TOOL FAIR 3rd Edition

Spain, Canary Islands, 5-9 November 2008

Valorisation can be defined as the process of disseminating and exploiting the results of projects with a view to optimising their value, strengthening their impact and making the largest possible number of young people in Europe benefit from it. (DG-EAC)

Background

In order to have an impact (at local, regional, national, and in some cases also at European level), the results of all Youth in Action projects need to produce long-lasting effects and to be better known and actively used.
As far as project promoters are concerned, they should carry out activities aimed at making their projects and the results more visible, better known and sustainable. This means that the results of a project will continue to be used and have a positive effect on the largest possible number of young people once the project has come to an end.
... small projects may aim more towards having an impact at local level by carrying out visibility activities and by raising awareness of the participants. On the contrary, larger projects, based on bigger partnerships, may be more ambitious and aim at creating an impact at sectoral or national and European level through a strategy for the dissemination, exploitation and follow-up of their results.

"Youth in Action Programme guide"

Following the frank success of the two past editions of this large event,the Salto Youth EuroMed RC will organise the third edition of the "Tool Fair".

Once again 100 people are expected!! Participants will come from both "Programme" and "Partner" countries, all stakeholders of the YOUTH IN ACTION programme: young people, youth workers, youth leaders, trainers, etc.
In one place, for 5 days, the Fair will be a "showroom" for the huge variety and richness of tools developed and used under the YOUTH IN ACTION programme, a place to experiment with methods and exercises used within the different actions (youth exchanges, EVS, youth initiatives, training) and based on different themes (cultural diversity, inclusion, cooperation with partner countries, etc...). The Fair could become the creation of the participants themselves and enable their tools to be used throughout the programme. "know-How" will be gathered in order to create a "common memory".
