Erasmus+ active youth, strategic partnership 2019 - 2021 together with France, Germany, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden

Across all audiences, all evaluations of European and international youth work clearly show personal and social competence gains of the participating young people. While participating in cross-border projects, young people are consciously experiencing similarities and differences to other people and cultures. They learn to change perspectives in intercultural discussions, empathy and solidarity are promoted. The general framework for these learning processes is the distinctively informal learning environment of cross-border encounters. Learning effects in the informal learning environment of European and international youth work are not self-evident either. Educational structure and accompaniment help.

This applies all the more to the participation of socially disadvantaged young people in these exchanges. Weaknesses are currently being noted in addressing and achieving, but there are also missing concepts and appropriate instruments for the educational support of this target group during the stays abroad, which are geared to the informal learning environment. The lack of participation of socially disadvantaged young people is a problem that has been identified for years, and the last few years have made little progress.

The positive experiences from the project formats of the German program Integration through Exchange (IdA) can also offer methodological approaches to projects in the E + / Förderlinie Jugend.

Our project aims to reinforce and optimize work with the disadvantaged (NEETs) through youth mobility mobility services. Through many years of experience with project work in the ESF federal program IdA, the applicant organizations have been able to gain valuable insights with the target group and peer learning.

Through a best practice exchange of successful practical examples and a compilation of the previous findings, we want to develop, together with our partners in Germany, France, Spain and Sweden, a guideline based on the best practice approaches.

We want to highlight new innovative approaches, ideas and peer learning as central elements from the best practice examples. The approaches we have developed enable youth workers to plan and design stays and measures for the target group in a way that is as learning-oriented as possible.
The close project cooperation with the strategic partners in the respective country enables a practical exchange of youth work with (youth) policy and administration from the local to the European level. Through the collected best practice of the respective partners as well as developed results in the project, we expect that more young people from the target group in the youth work can be reached and successfully complete foreign stays with positive learning experiences. Possibly. is also the development of new target groups possible.

We prepare the intellectual outputs so that they can be used and developed on existing social media platforms and networks in youth work.

The close project cooperation during the project also with the strategic partners in the respective country, connects contacts that have similar work contents, problems and optimization needs. Problems are illuminated and ideas and solutions are discussed through the contacts. The longevity of the project promotes cooperation and even creates friendships; further joint activities can be created through the project.
