The overall objective of OASIS project is to exchange good practices in the field of social jobs of the future. This exchange will be between European local authorities and also other actors of social action. OASIS means « evOlutive & Attractive SocIal jobS ». The project would like to develop a prospective common vision for social actors in European countries, facing similar social issues and mutations such as, access to social rights and public services, the impact of digital technology on professionals and users, the rise of civil society actors and social economy, the support of new publics such as migrants and refugees, the response to sanitary crisis, etc. Social jobs skills are changing to meet new challenges in the practices and to face a lack of attractiveness. The Département de l’Isère (France) leads the OASIS consortium which brings together 3 other partners : Autonomous Region Aosta Valley (Italy), ONG Red Internacional B-Live (Spain), County Center for Resource and Educational Assistance Alba (Romania). This strategic partnership aims to learn from each other, sharing ideas, experiences and solutions experimented in different European countries on three main topics: How to adapt the tools and methods used by social professionals and how to share them ? How to better meet users’ expectations and strengthen their empowerment ? How to build career paths differently and improve social jobs’ attractiveness ? The project will be implemented through the sharing of theoretical and practical knowledge and of experiences on topics (converging at the European level). To implement the project, the partnership will organize short-term joint staff training events, lasting 3 to 5 days each, alternately in Italy, Romania, Spain and France, between September 2020 and August 2022. The main activity will consist on intra-community learning trips, with delegations made up of 5 social professionals per country, with job shadowing and workshops. A kick-off meeting and a final seminar will also be held, involving 50 to 100 participants – social workers, managers, experts, associations and grassroots community. These 2 seminars are participative events and combine several formats such as roundtable meetings (to share knowledge), project accelerators (for collective thinking), co-construction workshops (to produce), TED-style events, moving debates (world cafe, hackathon, open forum, etc)OASIS project will allow participants to increase practices knowledges by experimenting with new ways of acting, improving project methodologies, experimenting collective actions carried out by citizens, discovering other jobs or fields of social action. The partnership will propose recommendations for initial and continuing training, evolution of social jobs’ referential. Another deliverable will be action sheets on transferable and/or innovative experimentations. The final goal is to promote employability and empowerment.In the longer term, the links established between the European partners will allow the consortium to work together to enrich its practices. This project will contribute to developing of a forward-looking approach in the evolution of social professions and to strengthen their attractiveness.

PATHS: Youth for Solidarity Economy and Entrepreneurship in Europe (PATHS) is a strategic partnership between European organizations active in the field of education, training and youth designed to promote cooperation and innovation in the field of young social entrepreneurship. This project arises from the analysis of the context in which organizations develop their activities and their previous experience in this field. The outcomes of this analysis are: 1. Given the difficulties that young people find their access to the labour market, youth entrepreneurship is an alternative to unemployment. 2. To become an entrepreneur is not necessary a specific qualification or a particular academic level, but many young companies die in the first two years. That means that could be necessary to improve the qualifications of young entrepreneurs to reduce the high mortality of young companies. 3. Entrepreneurship projects based approaches solidarity economy have a mortality rate significantly lower than the entrepreneurial projects of competitive basis. 4. Organizations in the field of non-formal education and academic institutions (formal education) have interest in promoting entrepreneurship among young people. But there are not enough methodological and training tools. 5. Given the current social context of Europe and the future prospects, young entrepreneurship will not be a fad. Instead could be the only chance for a new generation. The project objectives are: 1. To promote cooperation and networking among participating organizations, developing a line of work maintained over time (integral promotion of youth entrepreneurship) based on the ongoing collaboration between European organizations (strategic alliance). 2. To increase the capacity of organizations working on the promotion of youth entrepreneurship through resources, materials and tools that will improve the quality of its activities and the results thereof. 3. To promote the development of specific skills by workers of the organizations involved (trainers, trainers, youth workers) and to promote their professional training as facilitators of youth entrepreneurship projects in the field of solidarity economy. 4. To contribute to the promotion of entrepreneurship among young people as an alternative to unemployment and, simultaneously, as a way to emancipation and to contribute to society. 5. To contribute to strengthening youth entrepreneurship projects and its transformation into solidarity economy enterprises with consequent multiplier effect in terms of employment and contribution to the common welfare. 6. Contribute to the normalization of entrepreneurship training approaches combining formal and non-formal education to the specific needs of the business world. The Partners that are involved in the project are: Red Internacional B-Live (Spain), Universidad de Coimbra (Portugal), Association des Agences de la Democratie Locale (France). Citizens in Action (Greece) y Youth Discovery Ventures Ltd (UK).
