Date du début: 4 août 2014, Date de fin: 3 avr. 2015 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

Volunteering provides important learning opportunities, because involvement in voluntary activities empower people with new skills and competences that can improve their employability. This is especially important at this time of economic recession. The idea and planning of this Mobility project was developed by the young people that met during the previous Youth in action projects dedicated to the topic of empowerment and equipping the peer leaders with tools in the field of community volunteering and youth inclusion project work in our organisations. After discussions with partners that work in the field of social inclusion of young people coming from deprived urban areas from Portugal, Azerbaijan and Belarus we have worked together to develop this multi-leg Mobility project. The multi leg Mobility project will bring together: For the Activity 1 (Contact making event in Sweden) : 12 youth peer leaders and representatives of the partner organisations from Sweden, Portugal, Azerbaijan and Belarus to present profiles and experience of participating organisations in the field of practicing volunteering as alternative to youth unemployment and exclusion; For the Activity 2 (Youth exchange in Azerbaijan) : 40 volunteers coming from deprived urban areas, having voluntary youth work experience and involved in the work of represented partner organisations to explore volunteering and voluntary project work in mixed nationality teams as a way to increase personal self confidence and therefore employability; For the Activity 3 (Training course for Peer Educators and Multipliers in Portugal) : sixteen youth peer educators motivated to act as Multipliers of the projects' achievements and disseminate the acquired knowledge and skills . During the key activities of the Mobility project the following working methods will be used: • presentations of realities with employment situation in partner countries ; • presentation of the Erasmus+ Programme with a special focus on new developments and opportunities for cooperation between the partners on the projects' theme; • best practice on Employability and entrepreneurship opportunities for young people coming from deprived urban areas; • workshops on Project management, • role play games and exercises on Inclusion techniques ; • Open Space method; • inspiration visits and meetings with invited experts (employment and/or youth sector), youth workers and researchers of different levels including European. During this Mobility project we are planning to use new Erasmus + opportunities of long term influence to introduce volunteering as an alternative to social exclusion and unemployment of the young people in partner organizations’ communities, motivating youth for initiation and direct participation in community volunteering projects and producing a pilot model of good practice for use of other partners. As a result of the Mobility project we will have a European pool of trained peer leaders, peer educators and multipliers with necessary skills and competences to promote community participation and volunteering as a way to approach youth disenfranchisement and facilitate employment motivation of peers coming from deprived urban areas.
