"Recycle yourself" was a project involving 25 youth workers from 5 partner organisations: Avadhuta (Croatia), The Lotus Trust (UK), Drustvo za duso (Slovenia), Nama Hatta Antwerpen (Belgium) and I.S.K.CON Firenze (Italy). All the organisations are active for many years in youth work, connected with areas of healthy lifestyles, education, ecology/self sustainability and social work. The partners expressed their mutual interest in creating a network based on strong partnerships aimed to connect more and exchange the good practices in relevant areas of their work.
The objectives of the project were:
1) Creating a platform for a European network of organisations active in the areas of youth work, healthy lifestyles and self-sustainability;
2) Professionalisation and development of key competences and skills for youth workers (become more goal-oriented, get new experience at inter-cultural learning, develop practical ICT skills etc.);
3) Improvement of managerial skills through exchange of good practices in their work, which will result in better quality and increased motivation of the staff for their activities in youth working area;
4) Learning of innovative and improved ways of operating towards target groups, by providing more modern and attractive programs created at the meetings, for young people, volunteers and young NEET's in line with their needs and expectations;
5) Getting more experience and develop knowledge in area of EU/local project management and grant writing and in that way to find new financial resources for the projects (on local, regional and international level).
The project lasted for 14 months, started on 1st of October 2014 and ended on 1st of December 2015. It involved 3 meetings/trainings of youth workers in Slovenia, Croatia and UK. The meetings were based on different combinations of outdoor activities (organic gardening, field trips, yoga), educational trainings (seminars, workshops on soft skills and innovative methods of youth work), learning opportunities of European instruments/certificates (Youthpass, Europass CV) and practical management education (fundraising for organisations on national and international level, grant writing, Erasmus+ opportunities presentations). During the partner meetings, photos and videos of activities were taken and put into media forms which summarize the events and practical results attained. We have taken photos and videos of educational activities, practical outdoor activities (harvesting the garden) and feedback from the youth from local communities who attained the meetings. The conclusions of the meetings were:
- in Slovenia - preparatory event (soft skills development, outreach for youth),
- in Croatia - practical development event (European instruments, outdoor activities),
- in UK - summarization of the gained experience (fundraising, entrepreneurship ideas for youth).
After the meetings of youth workers, each organisation has hold dissemination public event in their local communities (already drafted in preparatory stage of the project), where the results of the project were shown (photo and video diary of the project, presentations by participants on subjects learned at meetings, presentations of physical and character improvement of participants, promotion of Erasmus+ program opportunities etc.). On this events local stakeholders (youth NGOs and other educational and youth-working organizations, local municipality) and media were invited for purpose of further dissemination of the project
The long term effect of the project would be seen through the newly formed network of organisations where the youth workers will have more opportunities for professionalisation, skills and experience development and to improve the implementation of their learned experiences in local communities and outreach their target groups more effectively.
