Context/background of the projectInternational mobilities are used unequally by young adults. Young adults with good educational opportunities benefit strongly from mobility programmes, while young adults with disabilities and low educational opportunities are disadvantaged as participants. The activating methods of non-formal global learning used in international mobility makes it difficult for these young adults to take part on an equal and inclusive basis. Also, young adults with educational disadvantages or disabilities can rarely use existing engagement opportunities and are largely excluded as multipliers and trainers in international non-formal educational activities.Aims of the projectWithin the framework of this project, concepts and methods are therefore being developed to- break the educational exclusivity of international mobility in the context of preparation, accompaniment and follow-up of non-formal education,- promote the participation of young adults with educational disadvantages or disabilities in the development of non-formal education,- show young adults with educational disadvantages or disabilities opportunities for engagement and enable them to function as multipliers and trainers themselves,- implement new approaches of European non-formal educational work in the field of international mobility.Number and profile of participants Direct participants of the project are 200 pedagogues, trainers, multipliers and former volunteers who are involved in various formats of international mobility. This includes 70 young adults with educational disadvantages or disabilities (people with intellectual, learning-related, physical, sensory or other disabilities as well as people with educational disadvantages - learning difficulties, language difficulties, early school leavers, low-skilled, young people with poor school performance).Activities and methodologyThe project is divided into four phases: - February 2020 to October 2020 - Development phase: Basics, practices and methods are collected, exercises and learning modules designed and concepts developed. - November 2020 to June 2021 - Trial phase: Inclusive, participative and activating methods are prepared for the target groups and tested with test groups in the environment of the participating organisations. Conclusions for the further development of the modules and concepts are elaborated.- July 2021 to October 2021 - Editorial phase: A method kit, a video tutorial and a trainer concept are elaborated. - November 2021 to January 2022 - Implementation and dissemination phase: Multiplier training courses for professionals, trainers and multipliers are run to make the new methods known and to promote their application.Results and long-term benefitsThe following results are achieved within the framework of the project:- 1 inclusive method kit for designing trainings for international mobilities will be developed, tested and distributed. - 1 concept for training young adults with educational disadvantages or disabilities is developed, tested and disseminated. - 1 video tutorial is produced to support the learning and implementation of the methods which have been developed. - The materials (method kits, training concept, video tutorial) will be distributed/ and downloaded 3,000 times in printed and 1,500 times in digital form.- 200 trainers, staff involved in deployment, transcultural exchange and youth education as well as multipliers in youth education work (e.g. former volunteers with and without disabilities or educational disadvantages) are trained in the methods and the application of the concept and will be able to apply the methods and the concept in their work.By developing new methodological and conceptual approaches and promoting their implementation, the project offers experts working in the field of international mobility programmes and their organisations the opportunity to implement and to strengthen inclusive processes. Thus, the project impoves the institutional, programmatic and methodological-didactic design of inclusive training measures in the long term. This will enable educationally disadvantaged people and people with disabilities to benefit from international mobility programmes.

The project is the follow-up of Glore Capacity Building. The final aim of the project is to promote recognition of Informal Education and Non Formal Education in volunteering experiences through: a- the further development of GloRe Certificate System; b- increasing the number of organisations using it.a- The development of the GloRe Certificate System will consist in improvement of the certificate framework, the re-definition of the learning process and of the online system that generates the Certificates and the creation of Distant Learning Tools for volunteers and volunteering organisations to use it.b- The increase of the GloRe Open Network members will consist in the involvement of new organisations within and beyond the partnership of this project to reach a critical mass of members able to support the recognition and visibility of the GloRe Certificate. The objectives are to:FINAL BENEFICIARYimprove the efficiency and efficacy of the support offered to IVS volunteersTo provide all IVS of GON organisations that stay for more than 3 months the possibility and the support to get GloRe CertificateINTELLECTUAL OUTPUT DEVELOPMENTto develop useful and user friendly certificate systemto develop DLTs to train new organisations willing to join GONto develop DLTs that complement and improve the quality of training and support of IVSCAPACITY BUILDING:to allow 15 new organisations to enter GON by 2020 by attending DLT modules developed and tested in the projectto train Old Partners project manager to be able to train other organisations on GCS at local and international levelto provide the competences to the staff of all partners on the use of the GCS and DLTsNETWORKING:to reinforce international partnerships and to support the cooperation between organisations with different profiles and coming from different (closed) networksto reinforce local and national partnerships of project partners with stakeholdersto increase partners’ recognition in the field of IVS and recognition as base for the future plan to reach political validation of the GCS.

“Teaching to others has taught me a lot about myself. I had the chance to learn a lot about myself thanks to the interaction, discussions and activities realized with the youth during the workshops. An unforgettable experience, I will continue doing it.” (Trainer)“We are not all the same, but that does not matter. Enough that we respect each other and that everybody tries to understand why somebody things differently.”( Boy, 16 years)“Today I understood that not everybody in the class room thinks that I am a bad person, just because I am a Muslim.” (Girl, 15 years)Talking about migrants and role-play them allowed us to better understand their situation. I was surprised to learn that no European country was in the top 5 of countries hosting migrants. We’re told about migrants as if their arrival was a catastroiphe, but it is much worse in other places. This activity made us think about the preconceptions we have about migrants and all other people. Why would taking the train with a former inmate be dangerous? We consider the worse very quickly, but maybe it had nothing to do with the reason they went to jail. (pupil)Involved partners: Estyes Estonia, Link Italy, JAVVA Belgium, IBG Germany and Grenzenlos as coordinator in AustriaTrained trainers: 34 within the included training, additional facilitators trained in national events136 local workshops held in Austria, Italy, Estonia, Belgium, Germany for overall 2142 pupils in 2 universities, 5 primary schools, 88 secondary schools and 41 social institutions.The strategic partnership was ment to foster quality improvements of youth work and to create a work space for LINK, JAVVA, IBG, EstYes and Grenzenlos to work on linking non formal working methods within a school setting. The frame of this project allowed us to develop innovative approaches for addressing the target groups and increase the quality of education and training and youth work in Europe and beyond through trained trainers for local workshops and mostly important the publication of a handbook.To transmit the developed methods of the handbook on a local level all partners started local workshops.‘Time for diversity’ brought gained experiences on an international level and helped all involved partners to start a network of trainers and institutions that are willing to support on the one hand intercultural learning and on the other hand to promote the link between formal and non formal education possibilities. Project activities:+O1: Development of a handbook with intercultural learning methods for pupils, teacher, social workers,...+ M1 Kick-Off-meeting hosted by IBG Germany (Stuttgart): Official start of the project+ C1 Training of trainers hosted by Grenzenlos Austria: Training for already 20 active trainers per partner organisation who were later implementing local workshops in their home country. + A1 Local workshops at schools, social institutions and universities, Phase I (Italy, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Estonia) run by the trained trainers + C2 Mid-term evaluation hosted by LINK Italy: Evaluation of the project phase and a second possibility to share experiences among the trainers and to work on the handbook + A2 Local workshops at schools, social institutions and universities, Phase II (Italy, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Estonia) run by the trained trainers after the evaluation feedback+ M2 and Multiplier Event Final evaluation meeting and presentation of the handbook hosted by JAVVA in Brussels within the final evaluation meeting we presented the results of our partnership. We invited local and European politicians, the local municipalities and local partners to show our work we did in the last months. Furthermore discussed about how we can continue working together and how we can spread the idea through our European and local partners. One of our biggest highlights for the final meeting was the presentation of the handbook in front of 60 external guests and multipliers

"<< Background >>GIVE Lab- Laboratory against gender-based inequalities and violences in international volunteering<< Objectives >>The aim of the project is to provide youth professionals, learners and young people with tools on the theme of gender, sexist and sexual violence*. These tools will be the result of an innovative and transdisciplinary training course, resulting from the collaboration between the different sectors involved (popular education, social accompaniment, social sciences sector, culture sector).1- Enrich educational resources for the prevention of gender-based, sexist and sexual violence with contributions from different disciplines2- Strengthen the capacities of youth workers who are new to these subjects to create caring spaces for awareness and dialogue 3- Lifting the taboo on gender, sexist and sexual discrimination and offering a place to the question of intimacy as a subject that concerns the Collective4- Promote an innovative pedagogical approach that puts the learner at the center of the learning process and that allows the development of transversal competences of the youth, especially the YWFO<< Implementation >>Seminar (C1) April 2022: We expect the participation of two members from each organization with at least one employee in charge of the follow-up and implementation of the project within the organization. Trainings (C2,3,4,5,6) May 2022: For each of the trainings conducted at the national or bi-national level, we expect 20 participants from the young workers (12 of whom will be YWD) as well as the participation of trainers from the member organizations.Laboratory (C7) January 2023: youth workers from the 10 partner organizations will meet to create their tools within the pedagogical kit<< Results >>R1 - Pedagogical resourcesThe organizations of the consortium will build in April 2022 a seminar to which will be invited specialists in gender, sexist and sexual discrimination issues to update the knowledge of the project partners on these issues. Based on the exchanges that will have taken place, the partners will be able to pool resources in digital form that will be stored on the e-learning platform created by SJ within the framework of the Be The Change strategic partnership, also allowing for a diversity of resource formats (audio, video, interactive media, readings).
