What's About

Funded by the Agency for Mobility and EU Programs under the Erasmus+ program’s Key Action 2, the project is set to continue until December 31, 2024. It focuses on empowering youth, especially those facing economic, geographic, social, and cultural barriers, a need that became more pronounced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Key activities of the project include creating a unified digital transformation strategy for youth work, developing five inclusive informal training programs for youth workers, establishing a Virtual Inclusive Center with diverse digital tools, and conducting a public campaign. The expected outcomes are comprehensive, ranging from the development of high-quality training programs and a digital educational platform, to enhancing digital skills within the participating organizations and engaging marginalized youth in the project and Erasmus+ programs.

 

The project’s design ensures that its impact extends beyond local and national levels, reaching European and global scales, particularly through its emphasis on informal education in a virtual environment. This broad reach is expected to set a precedent for best practices in the field. The project underscores the importance of cross-sectoral cooperation and effective communication strategies for disseminating results and maximizing impact.
