Our participants took part in the project that took place in Spain.
The theme was about “EMPowering Labour Opportunities for Youth” is a Training Course directed to youth workers and youth leaders from EU and specially the Mediterranean countries to empower the work of their NGOs in the field of youth employability. Often, for youngsters, to orientate in
today’s European labour market, affected by a deep economic crisis, and with an increasing competition within it, has become extremely complicated. Following the Europe 2020 Strategy
we wish to support youth organizations in developing an inclusive growth approach in their local communities, equipping their youth workers with valuable tools to empower youth employability, developing their coaching, career guidance and motivation skills, to support young people in their
realities to be active in their labour market and in the European one. Moreover, we’ll provide them space to network, share best practices, define obstacles and challenges in different contexts, and work together on practical solutions to be implemented in each of their local contexts.
The Training course, by using the non-formal education methodology, is directly aiming at:
Creating a safe learning environment for the participants, environment that would facilitate the development and acquisition of new skills, competences and attitudes. "Empowering Labour”
Opportunities for Youth" will offer a range of activities that will create the proper environment for learning, using non formal education methodology mostly based on active listening, creative and visual methods, socializing, according to every participant’s learning style. More than this, as the NFE is learner based approach, the learning environment will be framing this perspective that it can be constantly updated the methodology according to the participants learning needs.
All the participants, after attending the course, will be able to support youngsters from their areas in boosting their employability in several ways, through workshops, activities, guidance and coaching, supporting them in different aspects that will lead them to find a relevant place in the labour market of their country in the MEDA, Western Balkans, Turkey and EU.
