This is a reference for Andreea Munteanu (Astilean)
• To Empower young people to create their own Personal Branding and improve their profile on the job market.
• To Prepare young people to create their own Europass CV.
• To Develop abilities for self-presentation to a job interview.
• To Exchange ideas and experience to find solutions for the youth unemployment issue.
• To Inform youth about the Erasmus+ opportunities.
The team of the project was composed by one person from Spain, one from Greece and one from Romania.
The target group were unemployed young people from 3 different countries who were supposed to accomplish the following conditions:
• To be a resident in Romania, Catalonia or Greece
• Be between 18 and 25 years (inclusive)
• Be unemployed
• Strong motivation to participate in activities
• Basic knowledge of English (the official language of the activity)
Also between participants were youngsters with few opportunities.
The activities of the project were built on non-formal education and contained cultural presentations, open discussions, creativity exercises, peer working, action-reflection, learning by doing using methods as brainstorming, energizers, games, group working, group presentation, role playing, interview simulation, open space, labyrinth etc.
One of the most important results was the empowerment of the participants. Some of them felt inspired to continue the idea of the project and organize it again by them selves. This way, one youngster from Greece and one from Spain, initiated this project in their home countries.
