    The CHARGER project was a global capacity building initiative engaging 6 youth organizations from Europe and Asia with the main aim to create the partnerships response for the urging global problem of youth unemployment, and create the supporting systems by working with the employability competences.The specific objectives of the project are the following:a) to improve the expertise of the partnership, to enable them to work with NEETs more efficiently;b) to support unemployed young people and NEETs, and particularly those in long-term unemployment to build competencies that will give them better chances to be included in the labor market;c) to develop the methodological framework and tools to support development of the employability skills of young people;d) to enhance active citizenship on local and global level within a group of traditionally passive (long-term) unemployed young people;e) to contribute to improvements of the system or learning recognition within the Learning mobility.The CHARGER project was implemented by a partnership of youth organizations in Spain, France, Thailand, Poland, Nepal and India.The project had the following four main directions of action. The first one was implementation of the International training for trainers and youth workers ¨Empowerment of Young people by developing the employability skills¨ where participants got familiar with the concept of the employability competence framework and how to empower young people using them. Second stage was the local work that includes the outreach and trainings for local NEETs, focusing on the development of the employability skills. Meanwhile there were mobility of 19 EVS volunteers between all participating countries. The last stage was the dissemination and exploitation of results, where each partner will organize one daylong dissemination event. During the project we have developed the 3 video tutorials dealing with the concept of employability skills, and the following topics has been covered:1) What are the employ-ability skills?2) Employability skills that employers are looking for?3) Practical tips on how to work with young people.Besides the videos we have developed the reports and videos from the different activities, as well as magazine that describes the volunteers experience. All the results of the project can be found on our web: www.bevolunteer.net/charger

    The aim of the project is to create a mobility scheme, labelled W_UP Tour, to support young people and non-profit organisations to develop entrepreneurial activities on waste upcycling both in Europe and in Asia. These mobilities will be defined as a mixture of raising awareness tours and change-making actions organised by 3 European and 3 Asian non-profit organisations working on the field, with the purpose of: offering quality-learning experiences to international participants; raising awareness at international and local level on waste issues; financially support non-profit organisations and local communities through social entrepreneurship; help the local community to manage better manage the waste. The need to promote a new mobility model specifically on “waste upcycling” steam from a common interest expressed by all partners that have noticed increasing environmental concerns at local and national level due to the lack of proper waste collection and treatment facilities. By valuing the know-how of the partners involved, the project aims to enhance the organisations’ competencies to host and implement change-making experiences on waste upcycling with common quality standards, and to develop an innovative sustainable entrepreneurial concept, based on non-formal education principles, to make positive impact in local communities. The idea of this new mobility format comes from the experience of the VolunTour in Asia and the Change-making Tour in Latin America: the most enriching part of these mobilities, according to the partners, was visiting other non profit organisations, working on a specific change-making topic, and mobilising local people to impact in their social contexts. The W_UP tour will be implemented in each partner country and it will involve between 10 and 15 foreign participants travelling with 5 to 6 youth workers from the consortium. The Tour will last 14 days and will be focused on waste upcycling for entrepreneurial activities. During the trip the participants will discover the local context on waste management together with local community and stakeholders dealing with it, like experts, local NGOs, public institutions and local people, to perform educational activities with young people, campaigns and workshops on waste upcycling. In the last days of the W_UP Tour a dissemination event with local authorities and relevant stakeholders will be organized to present the outcomes of the mobility and raise awareness in the local communities. After each W_UP Tour, there will be a local workshop on waste upcycling run by each partner organisation with the help of a local expert. The workshop will foster active participation of the local community and will contribute to help local people look for innovative solutions on waste management in their own social contexts.

    Time for Tea is an educational activity which uses tea to give young people a voice. It encourages global learning, creative thinking and social action. It is simple, fun and accessible to people of any age, background, ability or location.Recent events such as Greta Thunberg’s school strikes have shown how necessary it is to find new and smarter ways to allow young people to speak out and take action on issues that matter to them, and to create a dialogue between them and older generation decision makers. This is what Time for Tea does. Any teacher, youth worker or other motivated person can lead a Time for Tea project, with a group of any age, in or out of the classroom.We use the medium of tea because:- Tea brings people together. It is enjoyed in different cultures all round the world.- When busy people have a cup of tea, they stop and relax for a moment – the perfect time to listen and think.- The medium of tea allows young people to initiate dialogue with decision makers in a way that is engaging and non-confrontational.During the past 3 years with support from Erasmus+ (KA1 and KA2) Momentum World has developed this innovative non-formal learning and youth advocacy methodology in 20 European and neighbouring partner countries. The results and ongoing activities of the pilot projects can be seen on our website www.time4tea.info.Through this new capacity building project we will expand Time for Tea into 3 Asian countries (India, Philippines and Thailand) thereby introducing our partners to new non-formal education approaches, launching testing and implementing innovative youth work practices, and enhancing the socio-professional development of youth workers and trainers. The project embodies the four key principles of youth work: education, participation, empowerment and inclusion. Furthermore because Time for Tea local activities are often based in schools as well as youth groups, the project will promote the use and value of non-formal learning and enhance synergies and complementarities with the formal education system in each country. This has already had a significant impact in the European pilot projects.Although this is a capacity building project aimed at countries in Asia, we also envisage significant mutual benefit. We will learn from our Asian partners about youth work practice in different cultural contexts, adapt our methodology as appropriate, and so take a significant step towards our ambition of building a sustainable global programme.The European partners have all worked together on many previous projects including Time for Tea. The Asian partners have previously worked with Joint (Italy).The project will run for 2 years and include youth worker training, local projects, multiplier and dissemination events, and a final youth exchange empowering young people to present results to the wider world. We will also use our Virtual Teahouse to enable online exchanges and meetings, thus reducing carbon impact.
