The city of Panciu offers very few entertainments and initiatives for youngsters and minors in general. In addition, in two degraded areas at the edge of the town live two Roma communities : the lack of facilities and public services, the difficult housing conditions, the heavy discriminations they are subject to, the phenomena of widespread illiteracy, alcoholism, domestic violence, unemployment, early marriages and general poor access to information, impede Roma people to maintain the minimum standards of a healthy and serene life. Acquiring or improving life skills through non formal education and international mobility experiences is essential in order to promote personal well-being, professional growth and mainly to prevent social exclusion and marginalization. “Skills for EUth” wants to be an answer to such issues and needs, fostering mobility opportunities for young people between Belgium and Romanias powerful non-formal education experiences and lifelong learning chances for acquiring life skills. The fact that the Romanian partner works in a peculiar social, economic and educational context is an added value for the project's general purpose: in Panciu, the scarceness of youth aggregation places doesn't encourage active participation in the life of civil society and sense of initiative. These social and cultural conditions particularly affect youngsters with fewer opportunities and also those ones belonging to the local Roma minority. LLP's staff daily confronts a target of young people characterized by a high scholastic drop-out rate, non-enrolment and unemployment phenomenon. The main project's activity envisaged is an EVS involving a Belgian volunteer for 7 months of service (January - August 2016) in Panciu, at the socio-educational Centre Pinocchio, managed by the Romanian partner. During her EVS stage, the volunteer will be involved in the educational activities of the Centre Pinocchio, which focuses its work in particular on "learning by doing" and on the idea that mistakes could become fundamental incentives for learning and growing.The EVS volunteer, beyond producing a positive impact at local level, will have the opportunity to develop useful personal and professional aspects (decision making, problem solving, creativity, critical thinking, intercultural communication, interpersonal relationships, self-empowerment, etc).Thus, project's specific objectives are:- to promote an international mobility experience for a Belgian volunteer, providing her/him with life skills and competences useful for her/him future;- to foster EU values among young people (Belgian volunteer and local Romanian youth) and sustain the empowerment of their role in the society as active and responsible citizens;-to disseminate project's results and Erasmus+ opportunities in the youth field at regional level, giving visibility to the Youthpass Certificate.
