EP-DeM Labs - Equity, Participation, Decision making Labs (Youth in Transition in European cities)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2016, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2017 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

EP-DeM Labs seeks to engage and enable disadvantaged youth (16-24) in transition moments across 4 cities/regions in Europe to express their voices, co-develop and co-delivery projects and measures aimed at improving their education level and employability. The laboratories of dialogue and co-design experimented will have the ground-breaking role of permanent generators of knowledge and incubators of innovation in education, training and employment systems Aims: 1. Build evidence, experiment and scale up the intrinsic linkages between a holistic approach, not focussing on single measures to improve educational outcomes of the disadvantaged youth, but on their participation, empowerment and engagement and on the responsiveness and flexibility of the systems themselves; 2. Develop and test a new approach to the professional figure of the “youth worker”, as a real agent of change that can influence and play an active role as model also in formal education, training and employment frameworks and not only, as traditionally is meant, in “leisure” and in tackling “anti-social” behaviours; 3. Adopt, adapt and develop innovative dialogue and self-empowerment experiences and approaches targeting excluded youth, typically relegated to the informal and youth work contexts, to engage them in an open dialogue and co-design of education, social and employment measures targeting them; 4. Prepare and engage education and employment service providers and the relevant policy makers in VET and employment to dialogue in a continuous manner and to structurally integrate the outcomes of the dialogue with youth in program and project design, delivery and implementation mechanisms; 5. Develop a set of innovative, sustainable and cost-effective tools encouraging local, National and European policy makers to integrate direct voices and ideas of youth in planning and delivery of educational and employment services directed to the most disadvantaged.
