Virtual Collaboration and Efficiency for Youth Organisations

Description

An increasing number of experts believe that mankind is about to be confronted with a radical change of economic and social way of life. These changes will be driven by the accelerated development of technologies. Klaus Martin Schwab, the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, made a comprehensive reference to the idea of the Fourth Industrial Revolution in his speech in Davos on 20 January 2016. According to Schwab, we are soon to see changes of the scale and complexity unknown to mankind. In a long-term perspective the new technological transition may lead to a revolutionary breakthrough in labour efficiency and economical development. However, in a short-term perspective it may cause a substantial imbalance in the world economy, thereby aggravating inequality and encouraging the risk of global structured unemployment. As the issue of the Covid-19 pandemic was even not foreseen within our project, although, it showed us that the need behind the virtual collaboration and efficiency tools for the youth organization is highly relevant in the field of youth. As the consortium members, we become the one pioneering organization for the organisations in the youth field during the pandemic due to our experience concerning the virtual tools and implementation of virtual activities during the pre-pandemic period. As we have explained in the project application stage, the change foreseen by Schwab was happened and our project became more relevant. Furthermore, as consortium members this experience give us an opportunity to implement our activities in a profound manner. Due to the times we are going through, the very approach to youth work, and the organisation of youth organisations has been changed and almost all youth organisations are already feeling the change. Traditional ways of communicating with young people are becoming outdated, unimplementable and they are being replaced with virtual platforms. Youth Exchanges are now reaching many more young people through Erasmus+ Virtual Exchanges, young people from many more backgrounds and situations are now able to access the program without travel and the pandemic gave us an opportunity to explore new ways of virtual collaboration and provide information for the other organizations outside of our consortium which increased the outreach of the project. Objectives of the project : - To explore different existing competence models and platforms to help youth workers to become efficient and effective in today's climate of realities and priorities; - To develop skills of youth organisation to organise effective models for communication, project management, project development, supporting young people online, reaching a wider audience of youth; - To exchange good practices and experience in digitalising our organisations; - To explore together ways how to be prepared for challenges and how to work with limited budgets effectively and efficiently; - To develop a sustainable and effective model of youth work for youth organisations using online cloud based platforms, online communication and social media as tools. - To develop network on international and regional levels. - To develop ways to work virtually to reach more young people, communicate with other organisations more effectively and become more efficient organisations. The target groups that we worked with was youth organisations and youth workers working with young people on daily basis. As a result of the project following outputs were developed : - Online Network - Toolkit of information about tools and processes that may help you to save you time and finances in your organization;- Research about the young people's need in the virtual youth work area - Cross-Border Youth Work Magazine to reach youth workers Within the project, along with the several local workshops implemented in each country, two face to face transnational meetings were implemented in Spain ( April 2019 ) and Slovenia ( September 2019 ), the third transnational meeting was planned to be implemented in Turkey in March 2020 though, due to Covid-19 pandemic, the activity was cancelled. Between March 2020 until the end of the project, we have implemented several online workshops, Erasmus+ partnering fairs and developed a toolkit with the involvement of the partner organizations.
