GET A TASTE OF YOUTH MOBILITY PROJECTS
In a set of asynchronous activities (you do them when you please) and 5 short synchronous meetings (all participants meet online at the same time), we show you the possibilities Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps has to offer young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
OBJECTIVES
To bring you in contact with other inclusion youth organisations
To show concrete examples and possibilities Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps have to offer young people from disadvantaged backgrounds (e.g. those from minority backgrounds, with special needs, with socio-economic difficulties...)
Explore what funding is available specifically for youth inclusion projects
Walk step-by-step through the process of developing your own project and get feedback on your proposals.
The target group for this activity is NEWCOMERS to Erasmus+ Youth who are directly working with young people from disadvantaged backgrounds (e.g. youth worker, social worker, refugee worker.
13 Russian speaking participants from Azerbaijan Belarus Estonia Georgia Norway Russian Federation and Ukraine
We were using the following online tools to make the process more interactive (Kahoot, Google Drive, Jamboard, Padlet). The main interaction space for synchronous sessions was zoom (presentations, simulation, group work, etc) and for the asynchronous process was FB group with duplicated all information in emails to make sure nothing is missing.
Based on the needs of young people participants work with, which were recorded and published into FB group, they formed 4 project working groups and developed clear ideas. They seemed very dedicated to their projects and some of them are quite likely to really implement their idea with full involvement of their youth.
Together with Anna Yeghoyan, we worked on the preparation of general flow and tasks of the activity, facilitation of the synchronous session, support and mentoring during the asynchronous time, evaluation of the outcomes.
