One of the global effects of the economic crisis and years of its slow recovery is the current high rate of unemployment in many countries around the globe. Partners from 4 continents developed a project that contributed in improving the quality of support systems and the capabilities of youth NGOs dealing with unemployed young people. The aim of the project was to enhance young people knowledge and understanding of green entrepreneurship and to raise awareness about its multiple opportunities. Partners believe there is no more creation of traditional job, as we knew it before, which means, that we are now the creators of our own future. Youth can play an important role in this process. They have more time on their hands, they are able to come up with innovative fresh ideas and have an easy connection with the world through latest technology. Youth organisation should be there, ready to support their potential and to guide them in sustainable entrepreneurship. During the project, youth workers active within the partner organisations elaborated an educational module in the field of green entrepreneurship and youth employability and attended an international training to develop their skills in promoting green skills for youth employability, and get trained in delivering a green entrepreneurship educational program for young people.Following the adoption of the educational manual and the successful training course in Portugal, partner organizations started with the implementation of local educational activities. Each partner organization supported the youth workers that attended the training course, in implementing what they learned. They pilot-tested this acquired knowledge in their local environment by forming groups of unemployed young people. These young people were trained and provided with the support necessary for them to plan innovative green business ideas, thereby promoting active participation of youth in the green labor market. Youngsters were encouraged to think “outside the box” and supported in creating green start-ups. In order to raise awareness about green entrepreneurial skills for youth employment, partners organized local informational campaigns and created three Newsletters that provide information about the project and its results, including examples of good practices and interviews with green entrepreneurs. Furthermore, during all the duration of the project partners communicate with young people and general public though web channels, social media and by using different promotional materials.

"SolidARTbrary ( Solidarity through art and human library) is a KA2 strategic partnership project that aims at promoting tolerance, solidarity and social inclusion while developing the competencies of educators, multiplicators, pattern-makers and other people who support adult learners. In order to change the patterns and achieve the aim of the projects, we want to develop and pilot an innovative educational methodology for adults based on principles of Human library, dramatic and art expression and mobile movie making. It will serve as an educational material while working with topics of stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination.The collaboration of three experienced organizations Centrum Inicjatyw UNESCO, Kulturno izobrazevalno drustvo PiNA and LOS-Liberecka obcanskaspolecnost, z. s will result in an attractive and practical manual/guide, ready to be implemented by organizations and institutions working with the target groups of adult learners.Objectives of the projects are:1. To improve/develop the methodology of Human library into innovative and modern methodology through implementing media skills, oral history methodology and art expression.2. To raise up the quality of lifelong learning methods through developing a new methodology with a high level of quality and TO DO kanban scheme.3. To make the methodology as a digital open source for all educators without a long preparatory process used in the traditional understanding of Human library methodology through step-by-step open source manual and case studies.4. To raise up several competencies of the primary target group - to be able to manage difficult topics connected with discrimination and xenophoby through complex and holistic methodology.5. To raise up the capacity and expertize of involved NGOs through common methodology transferable to the whole world.6. To strengthen the cooperation between local partners and multiplicators through multiplier event and cooperative environment during the project meetings.Our participants are closely connected to partner organizations and local partners (Regional Library in Liberec (CZE), Psychological Educational Centre (PL) and Youth Centre Koper (SLO) and are adult educators, teachers and librarians with a professional institutional background of NGOs, libraries, universities and schoolsParticipants in numbers:There will be 4 participants per partner involved in the transnational meeting (including project managers and experts)There will be a group of 30 ,,living books"" facing discrimination and the same number of adult participants for the piloting phase organized by local partners.There will be about 100 representatives of pattern makers (out of them, 20 educators and decision makers, 10 representatives of „living books“ out of pilot phases and 10 journalists) in the multiplier event. The activity will last for 18 months. There are 4 transnational meetings happening in Poland, Czech Republic and Slovenia, a multiplier event and piloting of the new methodology, provided by local partners.The main activity will result in creating an open source, complex and holistic manual for educators, supporting equity and tolerance through social dialogue. Other results will be reflected in multiplier event, follow up activities and transnational and local partnerships, built on common interest and work of experts (coaches, educators and technicians) and local partners. The impact on participants, partners and stakeholders will show mainly after the project and after implementing the methodology. The primary target group (educators, patter-makers and multipliers) will develop new competencies connected to the topics of the project that will increase the quality of their work and enable them to have impact on the secondary target group, victims of stereotypization, leading to social inclusion through social dialogue.The partners and stakeholders on local level will use the methodology to foster their status at a regional or national level which allows them to reach out to more adults and therefore increase the number of adults in the learning process. They will gain project management skillsOn a European level, a community around the new methodology will be created. New partnerships among European countries will be established and the possibility of future cooperation in an intercultural setting will be presented. Also, we hope for a possible dialogue through the methodology with politicians and decision makers in public as well as private sector. The sustainable benefits of the project results will be ensured by the multiplication effect of using the methodology for educational and research purposes. We will register a trademark to keep the methodology as an open source. Like that, the methodology can reach any European adult education organizations and public libraries. The methodology will become a brand, accesible for everybody interested in adult education and promoting solidarity."
