Being disengaged from the labour market in younger years can have negative long-term social consequences, not only for the young person but also for the society. It causes problems in the community in the form of nuisance and crime; leads to long-term costs in increased criminality, welfare dependency, housing and a wide range of social and economic factors. The economic cost of not integrating NEETs is estimated at over €150 billion, or 1.2% of GDP, in 2011 figures. The economic cost is not the only one. Young people not in employment, education or training are at higher risk of being socially and politically alienated. They have a lower level of level of interest and engagement in politics and lower levels of trust.“Short-term programmes largely concerned with generic skills, CVs and ‘employability’ cannot give NEET people a labour market advantage” (Wolf, 2011). That is why we are proposing the EYP programme to provide a new way to deliver youth work and to support the personal&professional development of NEETs aged 16-24, while actively engaging local stakeholders to facilitate their social/work insertion. The EYP programme aims to improve self-esteem, interpersonal skills, behaviour and attitude, and to overcome practical barriers, then to signpost participants to appropriate VET providers that meet their needs for further training. The project is also aimed at people working with NEET, to support them to extend the reach of support to engage young people who are most distant from the labour market.Objectives:• To develop a model to support NEET improve self-confidence, self-esteem, interpersonal skills, behaviour and attitude; • To create a strong support network made up of companies, public institutions, social services, VET providers that can support the partners during the project activities; • To engage disadvantaged young people of the targeted areas/community, to participate in the programme activities and the transnational exchange. • To disseminate the partial and complete outcomes of the Project to a wider audience in the EU, and define channels of sustainability based on the support already obtained at implementation phase and built during the networking activities.The EYP programme will have the following phases:1. SHARE - Create a stable local network. Let it set and share objectives and strategies to support young people. Form local groups with NEETs. Organise the personal development camp (CAMP1). 2 MEASURE - Measure companies’ sustainability with the free LICET test and possibility to absorb participants (in the long term). Assess NEETS and create personalised competence balance, organise camp for ability development (communication, time management, English lessons, active citizenship, sense of initiative and entrepreneurship, etc.) and other activities with the community to foster inclusion and participation. CAMP22. COMMUNICATE - Companies report on the results of the measurement and the partners offer tips and information on how to actively involve disadvantaged people in social/work life. Organise a camp for work preparation (CV writing, mock interviews, safety in a work environment, work in team, etc.) and other follow up activities. CAMP3 3. GROW - signpost NEETs to specific training, and support job insertion (CAMP4). Organise the international camp for selected youth.Results and impact envisaged:- Increased confidence and self-esteem of NEET participants;- Improved interpersonal skills of NEET;- Reduced risk behaviour of NEET;- Enhanced social inclusion of NEET; - Reduced rate of NEET and higher number of young people enrolled on a VET course;- Improved competences and ability of youth workers to engage with young people who are NEET; - Communities and employers have a greater involvement in the social and work insertion of NEET;- EYP Methodology document to help youth workers working with young people who are NEET to implement the EYP camps;- Support materials for youth workers;- EYP Toolkit for the assessment and recognition of achievement of goals by NEETs.DisseminationThe results of the project will be disseminated via a range of channels such as project website, social media, multiplier events, Erasmus+ Valor, etc. Partners will also engage own networks in the dissemination of project outputs, thus contributing to their replication and multiplication.
