The primary aim of the pilot project is to create structures which will enable young people, 18-25, who have been identified as being at risk of becoming marginalised through non participation in both formal and informal modes of training and education to re-engage with the world of work and education. This pilot project with three EU partners, Ireland, Finland and Italy, is intended as a first phase in a longer project which will see the development of an accredited programme which has been codesigned by the youth participants working in partnership with the service delivery professionals to create pathways into employment and further educational opportunities. The project ethos is grounded in the principles of inclusive participation and empowering young people to play a full and active role in shaping the decisions that impact on their lives. This will involve the creation of learning pedagogies and teaching methodologies which will employ an innovative approach of codesign whereby the young people will have been involved in a real and meaningful way at every stage of the programme, from programme development through design to delivery and assessment. The pilot project comprises the following activities: 1. The development of a suite of protocols to underpin the selection and recruitment of young people who will participate in the pilot phase. These protocols will include a complete project overview contextualised to reflect the needs of targeted subgroupings, guidelines which will frame the parameters of the project and provide loose structures within which the group’s activities can occur. 2. The recruitment of the participants employing strategies which reflect current best practice This will reflect the diverse range of socio-economic backgrounds, education capabilities and cultural identities which exist in the targeted youth population. 3. The development a work programme for the young people based on self-reflective learning principles. 4. Delivering the work programme to the youth panel employing proven youth work practices in an informal learning environment. 5. The development of a suite of protocols to underpin the selection and recruitment of professionals who will participate in the pilot phase. This will reflect the diverse range stakeholders who are active in both the employment of young people and the delivery of training and educational services to the targeted youth population. 6. The recruitment of the professionals which will involve discussions with representative bodies, professional associations and state agencies. 7. The development of a work programme which will reflect the complexities and challenges faced by the teaching and training professions in engaging with young people who have not successfully participated in training or education schemes. 8. The organising of a series of national workshops which will allow the Youth Panels and the Key stakeholders to engage in a process of discussion and codesign. 9. The facilitation of a trans-European exchange which will bring together young people and professionals from the three partner countries to share the learning from activities at each national level.
