Digital literacy and 21st century skills play a crucial role, because all young people will have to have technological and digital skills & a flexible approach at work for the future and in everyday life.
Partners will develop Diversity Youth workers to be able to empower the disadvantaged young people to take charge of their own life.
The Diversity Youth Worker will learn new technical skills such as video-blogging, but also intra/entrepreneurial skills & coaching techniques to enable them to make disadvantaged young people more employable in the future and put ideas into practice; to become active EU citizens.
The project tackles also challenges of discrimination and poverty through the aid of video-blogging and
facilitation skills developed so that the Youth worker is able to promote diversity, common values of freedom, enhance critical thinking, media literacy & strengthening the sense of initiatives of
disadvantaged young people.
Partners will also use Youthpass certification & the EQAVET system which will promote high quality of youth work & training paths. Having built this capacity within the Diversity Youth Workers, they will in turn present national workshops to disadvantaged young people with disabilities, NEETs, migrant background and from deprived or rural areas.
The partnership is between organisation which work with youths and also develop professional pathways, there are from: UK, Italy, Romania and Spain.
There are two target groups:
… a digital, entrepreneurial, coaching and intercultural non-formal training pathway for youth workers, through the development of a Diversity Youth Worker, who want to aid disadvantaged young people to help them to learn technical skills & to develop their intra/entrepreneurial skills so that they can take their talent to adulthood & be active citizens and more employable.
… the competences of each partner to create a strategy about a ‘diversity youth work” that could bring in each country the digital innovations that can be transferred to the individual trainers/youth worker, as well as to our young people.
… more than one field of learning, the partnership is made up of 4 EU nations (UK, IT,SP, RO) who are seeking to develop & test the intellectual outputs + materials to better engage & support disadvantaged & disabled youngster through the use of coaching & innovative teaching methods & IT (video blogging).
… an Entrepreneurial Workshop which uses coaching techniques & IT Communication Techniques such as video blogging can address this, providing engaging & enjoyable learning, recognising and enhancing current capabilities, developing confidence & ultimately promoting young people to set personal targets & take action towards participating in further education, active citizenship & towards employment. To do this partners need to develop first Diversity Youth workers.
Our specific objectives are the organisation of training for trainers & an experimental training dedicated to a group of young people (disabled, NEETs, rural area, migrants) to test the programme & its effects to the order to carry out corrective actions in order to arrive at an effective and innovative training project that respects the document “Digital inclusion for a better Eu society”– policy recommendations, training needs & good practise example”.In training the trainers the project includes skills for digital material creation, specifically the creation of video, management of social media, it-tools, PR emphasising the importance of the labour market & adult life, including the following:
Start up Meeting to share technical, financial, management procedures. Task planning and sharing responsibilities, financial guidelines and evidence requirements. Task on O1. Planning Learning Activity.
Partners will develop the profession of DIVERSITY YOUTH WORKER which will work closely with Youth organisations, schools, cities, municipalities but will also attract in a sustainable way young people, in particular ones who were at risk of marginalization & isolation.
Partners have identified that the Diversity Youth Worker need to develop FACILITATOR skills:
The innovation is that this figure is mix between youth work, digital and video-making skills and marketing. It is based on what disabled & disadvantaged people need. Partners will create an Interactive Modelling –work-based approach where the youth workers are shown how to do a skill, routine, or/and procedure, tells them what to notice, and expectations.
The distinctive steps of Interactive Modelling incorporate key elements of effective teaching: modelling positive behaviours, engaging students in active learning, and immediately assessing their understanding. Research shows that when partners teach in this way, students achieve greater, faster, and longer-lasting success in meeting expectations & mastering skills.
The Course will use student-centred and work-based approach. 4 Session plan Youthpass & ECVET Units with Learning Outcomes (skills, competences & Knowledge) based on a EQF 3:Social Media and digital tools (10 hrs); Story telling and self awareness (10hrs); Communication & Coaching tools (10hrs); Video-making (10 hrs): Total 40hrs.
Diversity Youth Worker and Digital Enterprise Workshop confirmation of learning outcomes, methodology and format of the learning Activity training for Youth. Creation of ECVET Units for the training and identification of evaluation criteria. Distribution of initial research and agreement on first coordinated dissemination activities for presentation of project and research. Check that all national agency requirements are being fulfilled. Budget and work progress control. Check that all national agency requirements are being fulfilled. Progress report on O1 and plan of IO2. Planning Learning Activity.
The aim is to supply young disabled and disadvantaged people with entrepreneur and digital skills through an training material which is made like an educational game with a comprehensive set of measures that have been undertaken by the partners and that can be easily followed to implement and to replicate it in another EU country.
Partners will follow up on our initial research and get feedback by engaging with young people. In conjunction with the work on IO.1 partners will engage with a variety of young disabled and disadvantaged young people to produce support materials appropriate for the target groups.
Improvement and Fulfilment of IO1 and progress report on IO2.
This event will be delivered in Spain, hosted by Inercia Digital but led by Palatul. The IO1 budget resources educational partners to contribute to the design and evaluation of the event, and resources Palatul to deliver, although this could be shared.
Partners are planning to deliver the Digital and Enterprise Workshop, each Partner country will experience not only the delivery of the workshop itself but also the organisation and facilitation skills needed
especially considering the Diversity Youth Work Facilitating skill development.
Partners also want to have feedback and a professional dialogue between the 4 partner countries to then deliver it in other EU countries. It is crucial for sustainability that the testing bed is done in different countries and with different students from similar background but different countries. It will give the Workshop a more European dimension, develop the youth worker on work-based learning approach and also give them an exposure with other Youth worker from other countries.
Each partner will deliver a workshop to local policy makers, youth work organisations, youth workers, schools and training partners on the outcomes of our project . A venue will be hired by the applicant for the event, and invitations sent to participant Youth and VET trainers, aspiring and professional trainers/teachers/coaches/mentors, Youth and VET organisations, stakeholders engaged and public bodies.
Presentations will be made by project staff, participants and a key note speaker that confirm the benefits of lifelong learning and developing youth work skills with a European dimension. The hostingpartner will arrange for contributions from participants.
