Youth supportive communities

Description

Partners invested last two years into building a cooperation where organisations for young people come in the formal educational system, where, supported by teachers, but out of the formal curricula together with young people plan, implement and evaluate a youth exchange projects. Extreme success is the reason that we are thrilled to upgrade the current cooperation into the system of learning experiences or how we say into the program of non-formal learning.Aim of the project: Establish cross-sectoral non formal educational program for active citizenship of teenagers in their local communities.Project's objectives:1.Develop an active citizen competence model for youngsters 13-14 yrs old in Litija and Teisani over a period of first 4 months of implementing the project. 2.Develop a non formal education program based on the competence model.3. Test the developed educational program on 30 teenagers, aged 13-14 years from Litija in Teisani for a period of 15 months.4.Promote and disseminate the intervention model and its results and impact to at least 30 primary schools and NGOs in Slovenia and Romania over a period of last 4 months of the project.5. Organize 2 multiplication events for 140 international participants.In the phase of the research in the beginning, project will include 100 teenagers from both local communities into focus groups. There will be 500 young people, from the partner's local communities, aged 13 - 18 years who will take part in the online survey. Project will directly include 30 young people into the 15 months long non-formal educational program for active citizenship of teenagers. Furthermore there will be 4 teachers and 4 youth workers directly included in the making and implementation of the non-formal educational program. Different parts of the project will include over 20 teachers, and 20 youth workers.Project activities will contain multi layer needs, issues and interest analysis of young people, building the competence model for active citizenship of teenagers and detailed description of the program of non-formal education, which will equip the teenagers with the competences for active citizenship in their own community. To reach this we will implement regular workshops, different projects in schools and local communities, international learning mobilities and we will take care for effective transfer of the produced results to other stakeholders in education of young people via organizing multiplying events.Directly and indirectly project will make the biggest impact on young people, who will participate in it. Built competence model will bring structure, which we urgently need for the quality work with young target groups we address. Through the designed program of non-formal education (which will be the main result) young people will adopt knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours identified in the competence model. On that way we will reach systematic approach in our youth work, which will on long term also bring the option for checking and upgrading the educational process, regarding the changes in next generations. Pupils will acquire specific competences based on the competences model, which will improve their career starting points and improve their employability. Changing their competences will also raise their self esteem, because when young people become active in the described program their changes are made with awareness about what they can do and what kind of change can they provide in the society. When their activation happen at the age of 13-14, there is a huge chance that they will remain active members of youth organizations and organizations for young people, that they will raise the level of intercultural dialogue in the local community and consequently contribute towards more inclusive and active society.Project is extremely suitable for transfers into other local communities, because of its transnational dimension and because of its devotion to the evidence based youth work.
