Critical Thinking and Participation as a Foundation of Democracy in Europe “CritiDE”

Project Overview

CritiDe is a project that aims to enhance the capacities of participating organizations, their local partners, and youth workers in the areas of critical thinking, youth activism in democratic processes, and media literacy skills. This will be accomplished through the creation and delivery of educational trainings for youth workers, as well as the development of educational handbooks and workshops. Additionally, an educational platform will be established, offering practical handbooks and online courses that provide guidance on adapting materials to the specific needs of local communities and the work of youth workers, educators, and professors. All consortium partners share a focus on working with young people, including those facing fewer opportunities, on topics such as social inclusion, democracy promotion, EU values, media literacy, and the development of innovative digital youth work methodologies and resources.

Project name: Critical thinking and participation as a foundation of democracy in Europe

Project acronym: CRITIDE

Project nr. 101051999

Granting authority: European Education and Culture Executive Agency

Project Duration: 01.01.2022 – 31.12.2023

Amount Granted: 286.330,00 €

What's About

The passive attitude of young people to participate in democratic activities and processes, lack of skills and knowledge of youth workers on how to equip young people with skills and knowledge needed for a critical approach to democracy and media literacy connected to the democratic processes, lack of trust of young people in democracy and democratic values (especially visible in the Western Balkan region) are the main reasons behind the work of partners in developing and creating the CritiDe project (shortcut for the full project name: “Critical thinking and participation as a foundation of democracy in Europe”).

Based on the needs assessment, research and publications from all partner countries, the proposal is focused on raising the level of political and media literacy of young people, learning about democracy, the rule of law and values, and exploring how to become active citizens,

having in mind not only elections but also a broader set of actions: campaigning, demonstrating, volunteering, and engaging in political parties or NGOs.

CritiDe as a project aims to raise the capacities of participating organisations and their local partners, as well as youth workers; in the fields of critical thinking and activism of young people in democratic processes and the development of media literacy skills. This will be achieved through the development and delivery of educational trainings for youth workers and the development of educational handbooks and workshops.

An educational platform containing developed practical handbooks and an online learning course on how to use and adapt materials to the specific needs of local communities and the work of youth workers/educators/professors; will be developed. The platform will further provide opportunities to contact local organisations as focal points and resource centres.

The project focuses on these thematic areas/specific objectives: political participation and dialogue with decision-makers; inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities; democracy, rule of law and values.

Partners on this project are:

Youth Power Germany e.V. (Germany) – Project Applicant

Learning in Youth Work of the 21st Century

Learning in Youth Work of the 21st Century

Project Overview

“Learning in Youth Work of the 21st Century” is a project designed to modernize youth work in response to challenges amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. Recognizing the gap in skills and knowledge for adapting youth work to online platforms, this project aims to effectively transition youth work to a digital environment. It provides youth organizations and their staff with the tools needed to develop or adapt educational activities for online engagement, catering to the changing habits of young people who are increasingly active online. The project underscores the need for youth workers to be familiar with digital tools and online learning methodologies, though not necessarily as experts, to offer relevant and effective educational opportunities for today’s youth.

Project: Learning in Youth Work of the 21st Century

Duration: 28.02.2022 – 27.02.2024

Reference Nr. 2021-1-DE04-KA220-YOU-000029101

Grant Amount: 233,665 EUR

Donor: Jugend für Europa – German National Agency

What's about

The project focuses on addressing the current crisis in youth work, which has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. With many organisations unprepared for such societal disruptions, there is a notable lack of knowledge, skills, and experience in adapting educational activities to online platforms. This gap has left numerous youth workers ill-equipped to develop educational activities in a virtual environment.

The primary goal of this project is to transition youth work to an online setting effectively. It aims to equip youth work organisations and their staff with practical tools for either developing new or adapting existing educational activities to fit the online environment. A key aspect of this project is to provide a unique tool that enables organizations and individuals to engage with as many young people as their resources and conditions allow.

The innovative nature of this project is highlighted by recent European findings, which suggest that the youth work sector needs to innovate its approach to engage with young people. These young individuals are increasingly spending more time online and less time in traditional settings like local youth centers and clubs. Quality youth work in the modern era must, therefore, incorporate digital tools and online learning methodologies.

However, it’s not necessary for every youth worker to be an expert in online learning. Rather, they should be able to support the online aspects of young people’s lives and offer new educational opportunities using the online environment. This approach will ensure that youth work remains relevant and effective in meeting the needs of young people today.

Enhance the youth work sector and participating organisations through improved knowledge management. This involves introducing innovative resources for developing educational activities and training models/curricula in youth work. The aim is to provide high-quality educational activities tailored to meet the specific needs of each target group.

Support youth workers and educational trainers in acquiring and developing essential competences. This includes skills in training other youth workers, creating and utilizing e-learning materials and online courses in youth work, as well as marketing strategies and tools for greater involvement and promotion of youth activities.

Engage in extensive dissemination and exploitation activities for both existing and newly developed products. This effort aims to attract more youth organizations and workers to use these innovative tools and approaches, thereby enhancing the quality and quantity of educational activities in the field of youth work.

Project RESULT

The project has produced innovative resources to modernize youth work, including manuals and online courses. The “How to Design Learning Experience” manual guides youth workers in creating diverse learning environments, while the “Online and E-Learning in Youth Work” manual focuses on developing effective online learning modules. The “Digital Marketing and Using Digital Tools in Youth Work” manual provides practical advice on promoting youth work activities online.

These manuals are complemented by online courses, enhancing accessibility and practical application. The project aims to improve knowledge management in youth work organizations, ensuring the dissemination of these new methodologies for the education and empowerment of youth workers.

Materials are available in English and translated into several languages to reach a wider audience. The project’s impact is significant, with over 40 multipliers using these resources in their communities, and about 75 youth trainers and coordinators empowered to train others, potentially impacting up to 350 youth work providers. Additionally, over 160 local multipliers have been introduced to these outputs through various events, fostering discussions on the future of youth work in the 21st century.

This initiative demonstrates a commitment to advancing youth work in the digital era, leveraging innovative educational tools and methodologies.

Young Service Designers

Young Service Designers

Project Overview

The ‘Young Service Designers’ (YSD) project has been co-funded by European Youth Together (EYT) Sub – programme of ERASMUS+ Programme – under Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency – EACEA (GA n°624732). The project started on 15th May 2021 and will run for 24 months under a consortium of 6 partnering organizations.

Project: Young service designers

Duration: 15.05.2021 – 14.05.2023

Reference Nr. 624732-EPP-1-2020-1-IT-EPPKA3-EU-YTH-TOG

Grant Amount: 479,963 EUR

Donor:

What's About

The YSD project will address these objectives by targeting young people (16-20 y.o.), youth workers, cities & local administration. The approach is meant to involve young people to propose sustainable and innovative solutions for their cities, with the support of the local administrations and youth workers.

Youth workers will experiment new methods and acquire knowledge and skills to attract the interest of young people in active citizenship and to stimulate their desire in proposing solutions for tackling local challenges.

Youngsters will acquire new capabilities with YSD, providing them with the necessary tools to become active citizens and to participate in local decision-making.

Stakeholders such as public authorities, schools and universities, enterprises and local organisations will be involved in the activities and informed about the new methodologies experimented.

The project follows the approach and the methods of service design applied to the public sector.

The main result of the project will be the YSD Toolkit created at the end of the activities, through which stakeholders working with the youth in the EU can improve the quality of their services to young people and to carry out new projects and activities to promote active citizenship among young people and raise interest in policies.

More specifically,

Young Service Designers’ (YSD) scope is to boost hyperlocal structures for tackling local specific challenges, putting the youth at the center of the renewal of their cities.

YSD aims to support young people (16-21 years old) through a civic education and engagement approach fostering their competences and offering them the opportunity to experience a real participation in local decision-making to rethink their cities and public spaces towards healthier streets, revitalised buildings and more resilient neighbourhoods.

YSD takes inspiration by the UPSHIFT programme created by UNICEF: an experimental learning for social innovation to help young people unemployed and NEETs.

Boost hyperlocal structures for tackling local specific challenges, putting the youth at the centre of the renewal of their cities.
Engage – connect – empower young people to play a more active role in their local community.
Engage young people as co-designers and doers of pilot actions for tailoring public services.
Strengthen authentic democratic activities in 6 cities.
Include disadvantaged groups.
Build a sustainable and green Europe.

As tangible results, the project will have:

18 youth workers in 6 EU Countries (IT, EL, SK, DE, FI, PL) trained to mentor young people
120 young people (20 per country) acquiring skills as YSD in a 40 hours training
6 Youth Public Innovation Labs at local level
6 Pilot Services co-designed by young participants (at least 1 per country)
Involvement of civil servants from the cities supporting YSD
Creation of an E-learning Collaborative Platform
Elaboration on a Toolkit for “Young Service Designers and Cities as partners and allies”

Through the envisaged activities, the project aims to fulfil the following outcomes:

To enhance democratic processes. Representative democracy is strengthened when young people become active in their communities. Young people’s right to participate is closely linked to freedom of expression and the right to information.
To improve decision-making. Participation leads to more accurate, relevant decisions, which are better informed and more likely to be implemented and owned by those concerned.
To let young people, participate in the decision-making process. Young people are experts on their own challenges and circumstances, and on ways to reach others their age.
To improve services in the post-COVID era. Consulting with young people enables services to be improved and adapted to meet changing needs.
Boost hyperlocal structures coordinated by young people to support communities in a more inclusive landscape.

Entrepreneurship education for seniors and adults with fewer opportunities

Entrepreneurship education for seniors and adults with fewer opportunities

Project Overview

Project: Entrepreneurship education for seniors and adults with fewer opportunities

Duration: 01.11.2020 – 30.09.2022

Reference Nr. 2020-1-NL01-KA204-064748

Grant Amount: 279,848 EUR

Donor: Nationaal Agentschap Erasmus+ Onderwijs & Training, the Netherlands National Agency for the Erasmus+ programme.

What's About

The motivation for this project was to equip seniors and adults with fewer opportunities with a set of skills needed for personal development in the areas of entrepreneurial intelligence and creating (self-)employment opportunities, proactively in today’s reality of employment insecurity and the world of extinction of many familiar jobs and occupations now and even more so in the future. This new needed capacity was entrepreneurial intelligence – a competence trained and developed through the acquisition of various skills, knowledge and attitudes through quality non-formal adult education. After analysing the results, we identified the following needs and problems in our communities:

– the difficulty to find quality permanent employment for adults and seniors with fewer opportunities.

– the difficulty to open new businesses as most of the new businesses started in our communities are not innovative and therefore do not generate sufficient profit or even close quite soon.

– not enough opportunities for our beneficiaries to develop their entrepreneurial intelligence and thus their personal, social and cognitive skills, especially those of innovation and creativity in entrepreneurship.

– inadequate and inaccessible educational opportunities, either online or offline, for developing entrepreneurial intelligence and related creativity in entrepreneurship.

– only 7 out of 42 adult educators (17%) have previous experience with enterprises and use this experience and expertise in their non-formal adult education for employability and entrepreneurship of adults (and seniors) with fewer opportunities.

– only 4 out of 42 (9%) adult educators working with beneficiaries in NF adult education have received any kind of training on the intrapersonal aspect of entrepreneurial intelligence and feel confident in organising educational activities on this topic.

To empower seniors and adults with fewer opportunities in entrepreneurial intelligence and mind-set development (including intrapersonal and interpersonal social-emotional and creativity competences), through development of inspiring, innovative and up-to-date handbook and e-learning courses.

Empower our adult educators and improve knowledge management of adult education institutions andorganisations in theory and practice for building competences of adult educators in entrepreneurial mind-set and creativity in entrepreneurship development of citizens, through training courses, innovative Guidebook with curriculum and e-learning courses for adult educators’ training.

Exchange good practices and further develop quality strategic partnership among partners from 5 Europeancountries with different realities in regards to citizens’ self-employment and entrepreneurship.

The project proves to be needed/innovative in our communities, also thanks to the transnational contribution ofpartners from different European countries with their different approaches on motivating target groups.

All partners have good practices to showcase and we will learn from each other but also disseminate the learned outcomes to others back home and promote the different practices of entrepreneurship education in adult learning programmes.

The Goal

Project partners are:

STICHTING MASTERPEACE, Netherlands
Centre for Non-formal education and Lifelong learning (CNELL), Serbia
Association for improvement of modern living skills “Realization”, Croatia
Youth Power Germany e.V., Germany

Project RESULT

With this project, our beneficiaries were able to improve their entrepreneurial intelligence and attitude. We also empowered more adult educators to organise innovative and up-to-date entrepreneurial learning activities within non-formal adult education.

Project directly impacted organisational capacities to work on providing quality entrepreneurship education to mainly seniors and adults with fewer opportunities. The project positively and long-lasting effects on partner organisations increased their capacity and competences for providing quality adult education activities for entrepreneurial learning based on innovative approach.

With all intellectual outputs, we influenced the change and improvement of existing entrepreneurship adult NFE methodologies and programmes, at first among partner organisations of the project, and later among partner of ours and their wider network of collaborators.

What's About

The situation with the Covid 19 pandemic has changed the way we all live and work. Artists were not immune to these new changes and were greatly affected as most of the presentations of their work and interactions with audiences were and are based on face-to-face encounters such as exhibitions, shows, plays, performances etc.

With the project proposal, our consortium created tools that helped the artists to combat the Covid 19 situation, reach their target audience and give them the opportunity to present their work, earn an income and overcome the Covid 19 situation.

They learned how to adapt their usual face-to-face activities to develop and implement them online. They discussed how to use the skills and competences acquired to improve the overall quality of their work in the long term and had the opportunity to learn from each other and share their experiences and examples of good practise in relation to the Covid 19 situation.

The Goal

Project RESULT

– Youth sector, the cultural sector and decision makers started a dialogue between them to create new opportunities for artists and performers.

– Strengthened the skills of youth organisations in their work to promote artists in their local communities, to create opportunities to engage with audiences through the development of online activities.

– Created a safe online space (platform) where they can meet and promote their online and offline activities

– enabled young artists to gain new educational opportunities – in particular by acquiring skills and knowledge to adapt their activities to the online environment and increase the visibility of their work

– CCS in local and national communities are better able to address the issues they face due to the pandemic.

With new digital knowledge and skills, they are better equipped to work and create in conditions of lockdown and/or restricted movement, and are also able to network within and outside the sector.

– Skills of dancers and performers increased through developed online courses.

– NGOs are able to develop and/or improve practises to meet the needs of disadvantaged groups and to address differences in learning outcomes related to geographical and socio-economic inequalities
