Workpetence - Online tool for Competence Balance for Youth Employment, aimed to contribute to young people to be ready to participate in the labor market. The project objective is: increase youth workers competences on youth employment.Youth biggest challenge is unemployment, the young adult generation lives with the support of the family, that is, from the solidarity of the parents and the closest relatives. Long-term unemployment makes young people frustrated and dissatisfied because they are forced to delay them in time important functions, both for individuals and for society - marriage, parenting and such. The situation in Croatia and Greece are in better situation, however the level is not drastically different, as the Greece crisis have taken its toll and the accession of Croatia in EU have left some gaps regarding youth unemployment nationwide, as young people are seeking employment in other EU countries (brain drain), and doesn't recognize the national opportunities as options, due to the lower standards and prosperity, lack of information and opportunities. Workpetence was focused on the topics: Youth (Participation, Youth Work, Youth Policy) and Labor market issues including career guidance/youth unemployment in order to create online synergy between NEET group of young people and youth workers. Workpetence contributed towards the following horizontal and sectorial priorities: YOUTH: Promoting quality youth work, HORIZONTAL: Open and innovative practices in a digital era, HORIZONTAL: Social inclusion.Youth Council Prilep from Macedonia, ALFA ALBONA from Croatia and United Societies of Balkans from Greece strived to complete the project objective with achieving the following results: - Established guide on consultation and mentoring basics for Online Career Guidance and - Provided online digital tool for support of youth workers in field of youth employment.Also, the project intervention achieved the following results based on project activities: - Established fully functional interactive project website and - Produced Methodology for Assessment of Employability Competences Online Test.Workpetence included: Experts, Technicians, youth workers from Croatia, Macedonia and Greece who produced tool for Assessment of Employability competences dedicated for youth workers that provide support to young people in NEET. Approximately 1000 people had some benefits from the Tool or they were the target of the activities organized by the project partners, such as youth workers, youth organizations, organizations that work with youth, national, local authorities, to young people in NEET.The Project contained one transnational meeting, two multiplier events and delivering one intellectual output defined as Innovative digital tools for employability competences for Youth.Young people were targeted directly and where young people spent most of their time, Online.Workpetence directly targeted: experts, technicians, youth workers from Croatia, Macedonia and Greece.The project indirectly and on level of impact targeted: youth in NEET situation aged 15 - 29 - with special focus of the NEETs in Macedonia, Croatia and Greece. Furthermore, youth organizations and organization that work with youth from partner countries - have been directly communicated in different stages of the project according to the needs of the activities and dissemination of the project results (piloting of the Workpetence Tool in the schools, youth organisations, Agency for employment, schools and students for the workshop developed during the Multiplier Event 1 in Macedonia etc.)This project had a direct and efficient impact on youth workers and participant’s organizations that were into the project and the activities. By Workpetence - young people are able to know and obtain a huge range of information useful for them on personal level, developed from recognized psychologists and career consultants. The project ensured the sustainability with practical multiplication of the innovative digital tools in youth workers sector as an essential tool for consultation and mentorship for young unemployed people in their employment assessment, fit to the needs of NEETs by different organizations and youth information organizations all across Europe.We are expecting that youth unemployment rate in the partner countries will be decreased for at least for 3% by 2025 also the average rate of youth in NEET situation in EU28 dropped for at least 2% by 2025.This will confirm and ensure the sustainability and effectiveness of the proposed methodology within this project.Even the project ended, Workpetence is existing as Tool for youth workers in Assessment of Employability Competences for youth in NEET.

The aim of the project was to establish supporting elements for the sovereign and equality implementation of street work with young people. The partner organizations involved in the project recognize street work as an approach with which we are able to establish contact and build relationships with young people in their environment, including vulnerable young people and those, who for various reasons are not involved in organized activities happening in institutions. Street work is carried out outside of institutions, in parks, on streets, in courtyards, in shopping malls, etc. Therefore street workers work in a less structured and predictable environment. Within the Magic Wand project we have developed tools that support street workers across Europe to carry out quality street work with young people. Within the Magic Wand project we also strived for the highest visibility of street work at a local, regional, national, as well as international level. Greater recognition is the basis for the development of work areas and provides better conditions for the implementation of street work, reduces staff precarization in the sector and strengthens the identity of street workers. The main activities of the project were:1. We conducted four international partnership meetings (the topics were related to project coordination, sharing the reality of street work, and learning about good practices in the local environment).2. We conducted the basic training on street work for 24 street workers and representatives of organizations.3. We documented, tested and upgraded 39 activities that are adapted to the needs of young people and the specifics of street work. The activities serve as a tool for the implementation of specific street work activities that aim for active participation and the empowerment of young people.4. We have designed an online platform with 30 activities that can be used directly in the field when performing street work.5. We carried out a multiplication event in Brussels which was attended by street workers from all over the world. The main results of the project are:- Partner organizations are familiar with the methodologies and trends of street work with young people from different countries;- We carried out 150 street work activities (each of the partner countries carried out / tested 30 activities), 620 young people were involved in the activities;- We published a handbook with guidelines for the implementation of 39 activities that are innovative, tailored to the needs of young people and the specifics of street work;- We created a didactic online platform that enables the participation of young people in the process of street work;- Street workers (24) have strengthened their skills and competences to carry out street work;- We developed theoretical bases for quality implementation of street work with young people;- We expanded the network of street workers, strengthened affiliation and professional identity. All three intellectual results are available in English and the online platform is available in the languages of all partner organizations, allowing direct testing and use of the tool in the field.The primary target group of the project were street workers who were strengthening their competencies for street work through participation in all levels of the project (coordination, international meetings, training, development of intellectual results). The indirect target group were young people, who were included in the project during the phase of testing specific street work activities.With the project, we supported the development of street work, as well as increased its visibility and quality. By successfully participating in the partnership, we set an example of good practice in connecting and jointly developing innovative approaches in the field of street work with young people. We also made a positive contribution to the qualification of street workers, as well as to the development of guidelines, which will contribute to a more uniform and higher-quality street work. Coinciding, we also recognize the effect of the project in the increased rate of active participation of young people and their empowerment in the local environments of partner organizations. Intellectual results are encouraged and provide support for the implementation of street work. Consequently, the impact of the project is also recognized in reducing the spatial, cultural, economic, social and symbolic exclusion of young people (which is recognized as one of the basic challenges of the EU) and ensuring inclusion and equal opportunities for all.
