The main aim of this project is to support youth workers working in the youth field in learning how to improve their skills, to empower organisations working with youths, and to establish cross-sectoral cooperation between Programme Countries and Partner Countries. The European and African youth organisations will use their knowledge and experience to build a non-formal training module on youth work, based on the number of issues raised by all involved youth organisations, including the needs of African youth workers.This project will include 4 organisations from Programme Countries, including Malta, Greece, Romania and Ireland and 2 organisations from Partner Countries, including Zimbabwe and South Africa. The project, which will start in March 2016 and last for fourteen months, will include the following Capacity Building activities and mobilities:- Transnational meetings;- Research and compilation of an informal training module;- Mobility of youth workers in Zimbabwe - a nine day activity including training, workshops, job simulation and sharing of best practices;- Mobility of youth workers in European countries where different youth workers will have an observation period and job shadowing experience in different organisations according to their needs;- Publication of a training handbook on youth work; and- Awareness raising on the importance of youth work.Through different activities, such as sharing of best practices, research and hands-on activities, the project will target the different needs of youth workers coming from the mentioned countries. The work carried out by all participants will be recognised through the issuing of Youth Pass certificate to all involved persons. The outcomes of this project are:- Youth workers with enhanced skills;- Youth organisations rendering a better and more effective service; - Youth work is more recognised and respected; and- More youths are engaged and making use of services by youth organisations.The project will also promote long term and sustainable cooperation between youth organisations, while fostering the process of development of quality youth policies and services through training. Apart from the development of a network of youth organisations and other relevant stakeholders, the project will improve the management and internationalisation of youth organisations in Partner Countries.The activities included in the project will improve the skills of youth workers, and thus we will indirectly be improving the performance and the quality of the service delivered by youth organisations. This will eventually translate into a direct positive impact on young people, and there will be a new impetus for the development of civil society in the target countries. The project will help civil society and NGOs in Zimbabwe and South Africa make important steps towards becoming more effective in their work with young people and act as agents of positive change within their communities.
