Youth Information Outcomes Those working in youth information will benefit from improved competences, linked to their professional profiles particularly through experiencing other examples of practice and examining the impact of policy on their work Staff and managers will attain greater understanding of interconnections between formal and non-formal education, vocational training and the labour market particularly as there will be dedicated sessions on these. By beginning to work together participants will gain a greater understanding and responsiveness to social, linguistic and cultural diversity.The scope for increased ability to address the needs of the disadvantaged will be improved as will increased opportunities for professional and career development by interacting with fellow practitioners and managers from other countries. A greater understanding of the practice and policy environment will lead to increased motivation and satisfaction in their daily work.The organisations will gain increased capacity to operate at EU/international level as this is central to the work as are internationalisation strategies. The focus on the EU and Council of Europe plus an emphasis on the impact on policy will lead to reinforced cooperation with partners from other countries. The increased allocation of financial resources (other than EU funds) to organise EU/international projects will be examined in the planning stage, these might include active labour market or mental health funds. Given the centrality of the EU and the Council of Europe to the subject matter an increased quality in the preparation, implementation, monitoring and follow up of EU/international projects will be key. While the focus of the project is the policy making process, the examination of practice will also contribute towards innovative and improved way of operating towards target groups. Similarly, we see changes to youth information as an improved youth work method and practice to actively involve young people and to address disadvantaged groups. The focus on communicating practice to decision makers will also lead to a more modern, dynamic, committed and professional environment inside the organisation: ready to integrate good practices and new methods into daily activities. Core to the work on improving the policy environment is being open to synergies with organisations active in different social, educational and employment fields and the sessional plans reflect this. A focus on policy and decision making will assist planning strategically the professional development of staff in relation to individual needs and organisational objectives. Inclusion Outcomes A core aim of the project (and in moving to a KA2 application) is improved competences, broader understanding of practices, policies and systems in education, training or youth across countries relating to the issue of migration. A deeper understanding of the policy backdrop is also provided for. Similarly, a core outcome will be an increased capacity to trigger changes in terms of modernisation in dealing with new client groups. Working on the issue of migration will foster greater understanding of interconnections between formal and non-formal education, vocational training and the labour market respectively. Longer term (particularly in moving towards a KA2 application) better quality of work and activities in favour of students, trainees, apprentices, pupils, adult learners, young people and volunteers from migrant backgrounds will be a key outcome as inevitably will greater understanding and responsiveness to social, linguistic and cultural diversity and more work to address the needs of the disadvantaged. By its very nature work in migration means increased support for and promotion of mobility activities for learners and as a newer type of youth work will entail increased opportunities for professional and career development and improved foreign language competences; As workers often mention the need for more support in this field, responding to this will mean increased motivation and satisfaction in their daily work.Given the importance of EU and international developments in this field and the plan to move to a KA2 application an increased capacity to operate at EU/international level with improved management skills and internationalisation strategies plus reinforced cooperation with partners from other countries is a critical outcome for the partners. An increased allocation of financial resources (other than EU funds) to organise this work may draw on national funds or private sector donations. Again given the centrality of EU policy in this field (regardless of opt outs) an increased quality in the preparation, implementation, monitoring and follow up of EU/international projects is expected. One of the key outcomes in moving towards a KA2 application will be an innovative and improved way of operating towards new target groups of migrants, by providing
