Description of the tool

Individual verbal presentations from Participants:
• Experience in projects implementation, 1-2 concrete examples of project
Facilitator:

Tool will show to youth leaders and EVS volunteers that small project is a great tool for develop of competences:

Definition of Project is:
• Unity of activities
• Aim/Objectives
• Time bounded (start and finish dates)
• Budget (resources)
• Team of people

Participants during 4 steps:
1. Planning
2. Preparation
3. Implementation
4. Presentation/Assessment
developed different competencies and this competences are related with key competences for life-long learning.

Some information about key competences for life-long learning is possible to find there:
http://europa.eu/legislation_summaries/education_training_youth/lifelong_learning/c11090_en.htm

There are the few phase of project preparation and implementation:
1. Leader selects issue (problem/goal); planes everything, preparation is going under the monitoring and involvement of leader. Young people are implementers
2. Leader selects issue (problem/goal); Leader and young people plans together; young people prepare and implement project.
3. Leader select issue (problem/goal); youngsters plans and implement project
4. Young people select issues, plans, and implement project.

We think all this phase develop different competence related with content of project.
Leaders can use all different project step by step : from easy projects (Tree planting, Paintings exhibition, Concert, etc) to some advanced (Ecological action; TV programs; Publications...) and make evaluation how this projects gave possibility to participants change themselves.

This tool will support for EVS volunteers to fill youth pass too.
