"IT'S YOU is a 24-month strategic partnership project for innovation in the youth sector (January 2021-December 2022).The partners involved are Aretes (IT), Dedalus (IT), MARAK DIGITAL MARKETING (ES), Fundación Docete Omnes (ES), CYCLISIS (EL), EDIT VALUE (PT), DRPDNM (SI).The project is developed in 5 European countries (IT-EL-ES-PT-SI) where the population of young people is highly composite and enriched by a significant presence of young people with migratory backgrounds.On the one hand, the context analysis carried out in the 5 countries shows the need for young people to reflect on a new concept of citizenship, as the result of a synthesis between formal rights/duties and the exercise of intercultural citizenship skills; on the other hand, the need of the Youth Workers (YW), committed to the issue of intercultural citizenship, to improve and professionalize their socio-educational tools and strengthen the network of contacts with other European YWs. The objectives of the project are: to encourage young people to develop / improve the skills of intercultural citizenship; to improve the professional capacity of the YW; to increase the opportunities for an exchange of experiences and skills with other operators at transnational level; to strengthen European networks of YW and young people on the issues of intercultural citizenship.The project is aimed at YW and young EU and non-EU citizens:-at least 25 YW engaged in various types of services on the issues of intercultural citizenship, which work to promote social change starting from the life of the young people by adopting non-formal education methodologies and digital tools.-at least 75 young people, EU and non-EU, between 16 and 30 years of age, including young natives, young people with a migrant background, young people belonging to the ""decimal generations"", unaccompanied minors or unaccompanied new adults.Furthermore, it is expected to involve:-at least 150 young people involved in the IOs experimentation and dissemination phases;-at least 75 youth workers involved in the IOs experimentation and dissemination phases;-stakeholders and policy makers who can help to deepen the thematic contents of the project, strengthen the network work that IT’S YOU intends to generate, transform some key points collected in the project (see Vademecum) into operational proposals to be implemented primarily on European territories involved.In order to achieve the stated objectives, the IT'S YOU project foresees the creation of continuous exchange and comparison activities between stakeholders, YW, young people and civil society subjects on the project themes, as well as the realization of 2 IOs:1) IT'S YOU Net (IO1), a European social network that promotes the exchange of experiences, ideas, reflections on the issues of intercultural citizenship.2) IT'S YOU Challenge (IO2), a platform that contains non-formal tools for assessing and enhancing the skills of intercultural citizenship of young people.The IT'S YOU project uses diversified approaches and methodologies which, by combining, favor the achievement of general and specific objectives: Social Networking, Peer Learning, non-formal education, Sociological and Sociotherapeutic approach, Barcamp and Focus Group Online.The results that IT'S YOU strategy allows to achieve are for the YW:-increase of professional skills in the field of education for intercultural citizenship (as declined in IOs);-increase in contacts (virtual and tangible) and network links between European YWs;-increase of methods and tools to promote the multicultural protagonism of young people.The expected impact for young people, EU and non-EU, between 16 and 30 years old, in particular for young people with a migrant background, will be articulated as follows:-increased self-awareness of the intercultural citizenship skills possessed;-improvement / enhancement of intercultural citizenship skills (multilingual, digital, citizenship, cultural awareness and expression);-increase of cooperative and collaborative attitudes to practice citizenship and conscious adherence to shared values;-increase network links between young Europeans who practice intercultural citizenship.The events that enhance the process and the contents of the project (BARCamp and Focus Group Online) and the Multiplier Events act as a sounding board for the dissemination of the themes and products of the project: this increases the overall effectiveness of the impact of IT'S YOU and makes the project sustainable over time as it becomes the heritage of an extensive community of actors (Youth, YW, stakeholders and policy makers to whom the 'Vademecum' is symbolically delivered)."

Trafficking in human beings is a complex and transnational phenomenon, which affects the life of men, women and children. It evolves according to geopolitical changes related for example to migration or the fight against organized crime. Victims of trafficking transit between European countries, sometimes under the coercion of the criminal networks, sometimes to escape from these networks. These movements can impact the assistance and support measures for which they are intended (for example in terms of access or not to their right to residency). The #ATtrACT+ project has improved the knowledge and skills of social workers, working with trafficked persons in the areas of their identification and protection. In more detail, 33 professionals in charge of the identification and global support of trafficked persons (social workers, lawyers, association coordinators) participated in 9 transnational trainings organized in the different partner countries (details in annexes). The training sessions, each lasting 4 days, were organized according to a practical and participative pedagogical approach, based on times of exchange of practices between professionals (host organization and trainees), on the participative observation of the host organization's activities and meetings with local institutions and NGOs working in the field of human trafficking.On the basis of the knowledge acquired and capitalized by the participants in the transnational training sessions, the members of the steering committee have developed three training and information tools for professionals and one information and awareness raising tool for trafficked persons. These tools are: 1. A travelogue in 4 languages, synthesis of the reports of the trainees who participated in the transnational trainings.2. A mobile application, presenting in an interactive way the phenomenon, the national legislations and the protection programs set up in the 4 countries of the project.3. Six video clips, based on the forum theater approach, describing different problematic situations of identification, referral and protection of victims of trafficking. The video clips are used during training sessions for professionals and aim to encourage debate and participation of the trainees. Their content was developed in cooperation with former victims of trafficking. 4. A comic “Finally free” describing the trafficking and migration routes of two victims and highlighting the risks they may encounter, the rights they may be entitled to and the stakeholders they can trust in the 4 partner countries.The four tools have been disseminated at local, national and European level, to spread the knowledge and skills acquired beyond the project group. Through the actions carried out, the partner associations have strengthened not only their skills but also their inter-association cooperation links and this has had a direct and positive impact on their daily work of identification, support and protection of trafficked persons. Furthermore, by involving former victims of trafficking in the conception and elaboration of intellectual productions, the project has encouraged the constitution of a group of former victims who have since engaged in other empowerment and support initiatives.The skills acquired and the tools produced enrich the content and methodology of the training courses that the partners and the project coordinator carry out at local and national level, even beyond the end of the project.
