No NEET, No Cry - Competence developing training course for youth workers dealing with NEET

The immediate future of Europe depends upon the 94 million Europeans aged
between 15 and 29. Apart from the challenges that young people for generations have faced as they embark up on adult life, this generation will live in an era of full globalisation and will have to cope with the responsibility of an ageing population.
Being NEET has severe adverse consequences for the individual, society and the economy. Spending time as NEET may lead to a wide range of social disadvantages, such as disaffection, insecure and poor future employment, youth offending, and mental and physical health problems. European Union is more than concerned about NEET’s problem and there are various initiatives and actions being taken to reinforce youth in facing unemployment and social exlucion. But this is just a start.
We, as youth organizations, need to act on local level to ensure that more young unemployed people will be influenced by those EU actions, initiatives and policies. We have to give them again the stimulus and the chance to dream about their lives and design their future the way they want. And at the same time, we should equip them with all the necessary competences which will make them skilful hunters when searching for a job or a training.
The objectives
To support young people to identify the strengths and weaknesses of their personality on several sectors;
To develop specific skills (spoken communication, making effective presentations, networking, teamwork, etc.) which will later foster their employability;
To gain together better understanding of the NEET issue by sharing previous successful interventions and understanding each partner role in the problem solving.
To equip those involved with NEET youth work with skills and competencies to better support this vulnerable target group.
It is planned that project will be realized participation of 10 organizations from 10 different countries. There will be 2 participants from each organization. The participants should be older than18 years old and youth workers who works with volunteers in their organizations.

We will cover accommodation, meals and activity costs during project period and travel costs to the maximum amount established by km in guide.
There is a participation fee of 40 Euros.
