<< Background >>In the article written by Mari-Klose and Moreno titled “Youth, Family Change and Welfare Arrangements” refers to the very issue that the welfare system structures are the main cause of the lack of emancipation in youth specifically in the countries like Spain, Portugal, Greece, Italy or Turkey where the family is the main welfare provider than the state. As a result, the young people’s social rights are in the hands of their families and they cannot emancipate themselves and take a decision for themselves as autonomous individuals in their life trajectories which in long run results with the marginalisation and exclusion of young people. Regarding youth citizenship, the market and family's role in social service provision is essential. The states' role is usually to eliminate the social stratification within society. When the state does the service provision, the young people have the autonomy, but when the market or the family does it, the young people are valued concerning their market value or depending on their families to reach social rights. Spain falls into the Southern Welfare States classification due to its social and cultural norms as the family does the service provision. Thus, the young people's citizenship depends on their families rather than themselves which results in the denied citizenship of the young people as the statistics elaborated shows the emerging need of the implementation of the project again. To elaborate the context in a deepened manner, we would like to emphasize the three main issues specifically the education attainment in low-socioeconomic backgrounds, the proportion of the NEETs and the proportion of young people living in the family homes to define the context in which we want to address the issue of social welfare systems and implement advocacy and awareness-raising through training for young people and youth workers. The proportion of NEETs in participating countries as 13,3% in Portugal, 16,3% in Spain, 18.4% in Turkey, 19,5% in Greece, 22,5% in Italy and for the female population this ratio goes to twice as more in several countries for example in Turkey it is 52.4% among the female population. In 2019, it was counted that only 18.5% of young people aged between 16 to 29 years in Spain are living outside of their family homes that means that 81% of them are still residing in their family homes which is around 50% in Turkey and 60% in Italy and 54.2% in Portugal. When young people cannot find employment, they are seeking refuge in education and their educational cycle lingers towards to 35-40 ages. According to the research made by BBVA concerning the youth unemployment refers to this direct issue as the young people do not have any means to search for a job or the subsidiary measures are mainly based in the family/household income rather than the income of the individual lacks the young people’s participation. The education attainment of the young people coming from low socio-economic backgrounds is lower as the education and the expenses comes with it are expected to be covered by the families and if the family cannot provide, the young people decides to involve in the employment in early ages going down up to 16 in the cases of the countries that involved in the project.<< Objectives >>Ni-Ni and Yo-Yo : Youth Trajectories and Dilemma of Social Welfare Systems in Southern Europe is one of its kind project involving the youth grassroots and youth experts to attempt to make change in the social welfare systems which is one of the root causes of the Ni-Ni and Yo-Yo youth trajectories. The project name comes from the both Ni-Ni by referring to the NEETs and drawback youth from the society and Yo-Yo by referring to the prolonged Youth and the repetitive trajectory between the state of being youth and state of being adult. The project aims to create an awareness on the root causes of these issues which is the Social Welfare system structure in the participating countries as it is widely discussed by the scholars. This issue is very well-known by the youth scholars although among the youth workers it is not discussed or advocated. We want to address these issues for the youth field to act towards to make a change and create a linkage between the youth policy research and the youth practitioners. We aim to provide a road map for the youth NGOs for advocating the social rights of young people as well as increasing the capacities of youth NGOs in the way of the research with our project as even there are several projects focusing on the very issue of social rights concerning the young people and create an awareness on the issue of the social welfare system by focusing on four areas : housing, education, employment, health rights and participation of the young people. The objectives of the project : -To analyse the youth trajectories in Southern Europe countries and implications of Southern Europe Welfare System on young people’s lives -To develop policy paper as a road map for the governments in respective countries on the life of young people concerning their rights-To understand the causes behind the existence of NEETs in respective countries and provide a road map for the youth workers to reach these young people -To increase the skills of youth workers in the issue of denied youth citizenship resulting with the marginalisation and exclusion of young people and tackling situation of prolonged youth and Ni-Ni youth trajectories<< Implementation >>The activities concerning the planning purposes of the project activities : 1.Kick-Off Meeting in Alcala la Real,Spain for 3 days ( 3rd Month of the project ) 2.

We expect that the project will produce following outcomes : - Increased visibility of NEETs and young people with fewer opportunities in the society due to engagement with - Increased knowledge among young people and youth workers on the issues related to social welfare systems in participating countries - Increased knowledge of youth workers on inclusion of NEETs and excluded young people due to social welfare structures - Newly developed policies as a result of the engagement with policy makers focusing on the human rights of youth - Newly developed policies towards to prevention of marginalisation of young people by promoting their active citizenship along with economic,social and political participation

<< Background >>According to research 'Youth work and the corona pandemic in Europe' mental health has been mentioned many times by respondents as a key issue, both professionally and personally. About 90% young respondents of the research felt downhearted, stressed and depressed at least some of the time during the Pandemic, which still lasts and has influences. The same research shows that youth work helps young people to navigate the crises. Within the project we want to connect those two aspects. We want to increase the capacity of the youth workers in Europe (especially in participating countries ) towards using mindfulness practices to support young people in their personal situation. The research made by Youth Partnership (EU & Council of Europe) 'The effects of COVID-19 on young people’s mental health and psychological well-being' shows that the pandemic arisen from COVID-19 and the resulting governmental restrictive measures have had a toll on youth’s mental health and psychological well-being. Youth appear to experience high levels of stress, depression, and anxiety, and lower levels of life satisfaction, whereas some evidence also suggests that young people’s relationships with parents might also be affected. In the same research we see assumption that the situation arising from the pandemic is complex, worldwide, and has multisystemic implications that affect individuals directly and indirectly, it might be reasonable to expect that a potentially severe mental health “pandemic” will ensue (Gruber et al., 2020). A multi study report concludes that “Mindfulness is especially effective for reducing anxiety, depression, and stress”. Mindfulness-based programs are scientifically proven and can enhance youth development and contribute to resilience (Mindfulness-based therapy: A comprehensive meta-analysis. Clinical Psychology Review.). We see the benefits of incorporating mindfulness practices and methods into youth work not only as reduction of the pandemic negative effects but also as a support model for young people who are struggling in life (going through teen age, facing different obstacles and challenges, etc.).<< Objectives >>The main aim of the project is to enrich youth work activities with mindfulness approach, methods and techniques in order to support youth and youth workers wellbeing and mental health, efficiency and active participation. Raise awareness about mindfulness and mental health among youth and youth workers.For to reach the aim we set following objectives:- increase capacity of youth workers toward using mindfulness practices; - develop Mindfulness curriculum and e-course ​for youth workers and youth;- measure impact of the mindfulness practices on the youth workers and youth participated in the programmes;- create a pool of mindfulness instructors in the youth work field;- raise awareness about mindfulness and its benefits.<< Implementation >>For to reach planned aim and objectives we are planning following kinds of activities: Overall project activities- project management and coordination - project monitoring, evaluation and analysis - external and internal communication activities - raising awareness and mental health and mindfulness and dissemination of the project resultsDecember 2021 - TPM 1 - Kick-off meeting;December 2021 - March 2022 - Developing O1 - Mindfulness curriculum for youth workers;April 2022 - Short-term joint staff event - testing and piloting O1 on the organisational staff, sharing mindfulness practices;April 2022 - August 2022 - Developing O2 - E-course for youth workers based on OApril 2022 - August 2022 - Development O3 - Mindfulness curriculum for youth;August 2022 - TPM 2 - midterm project meeting;September 2022 - Virtual multiplier event - with the aim to share O1 and invite youth workers to participate in O2 ; October 2022 - March 2023 - Piloting and delivering O2 - Mindfulness e-course program for youth workers;October 2022 - March 2023 - Local activities for youth workers;October 2022 - As the first online course started we are also starting with Research on impact with online course participants;October 2022 - March 2023 - Developing O4 - Mindfulness e-course for youth with;March 2023 - August 2023 - Piloting, Applying O3 and O4 online and locally.
