    "The project prepared Pan European analysis of good practices of school-parent cooperation and then create one, amalgamate strategy for education and cooperation with children's parents, called Parents corner.Parental involvement in the form of ‘at-home good parenting’ has a significant positive effect on children’s achievement and adjustment even after all other factors shaping attainment have been taken out of the equation. In the primary age range, the impact caused by different levels of parental involvement is much bigger than differences associated with variations in the quality of schools. The scale of the impact is evident across all social classes and all ethnic groups. (Desforges 2003). There is still underdeveloped public awareness of the importance and the need to educate parents and only a small number of printed and published material is available to provide the parent with enough information. On the other hand, schools are not intensively involved in the parent's education because of lack of training for work with parents. European Union has set the policy called “Supporting Parenting and Assisting with Childcare” in which defines Involving Parents in the Education of their Children with the implementations strategies. This project directly supports the horizontal priorities of Erasmus +: a) Dealing with complex classroom realities and b) Developing new approaches to strengthen the education and training paths of prospective and practising educators/youth workers.What the parent's corner is? Parents Corner is the - the place and a- group of methods through which we strengthen our relationship with parents and build a new level of partnership. We do not want our parents only come to the informational and parent meetings with class teachers, but it is at full capacity involved in school life. Through the ""Corner for parents"" actively involve parents in the new forms of partnership with the school: parents educators, volunteers, trainers, advisers, teaching assistants, participants in workshops, panel discussions, lectures, authors and co-authors in making guides, brochures, etc., which encourages and directs parents to serious relation to the obligations imposed by the education of children, and ultimately affects the improvement of relations between family-school and graduating with a resulting level of cooperation on the level of partnership. Educate parents in Corner for parents is meant to offer greater support to parents of children discrimination based on gender, age, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation and disability, as well as to all parents whose children attend the school. This corner becomes the place where parents meet and work together, a place where organize different activities, in order to improve parenting skills and opportunities.Results of the project- Manual of good practices found in the EU regarding the strengthening of Parents-School relationship- Analysis of the current situation of Parents-school cooperation in EU- Training for the teachersProject already results in better cooperation with partners from other countries; innovative approaches for addressing target groups, ensuring attractive education and training programs in accordance with the needs and expectations of individuals, the use of participatory approaches and methodologies based on ICT; greater efficiency activities for the benefit of local communities; more modern, more dynamic, more committed and more professional environment in schools through its willingness to incorporate best practices and new methods in daily activities; openness for synergies with organizations active in various fields or other socio-economic sectors, strategic planning professional development of staff in accordance with the needs of the individual and organizational goals of schools.

    The youth in general is the connection of any society to its future and the most dynamic part of that society as well. According to the last General Population Census the share of children and adolescents in the total population of the Nigde/Turkey region is above country averages. In Nigde the age group 14-25 constitutes a larger share of population (44.0 %) relative to the country average (16.6) makes it necessary to develop special policies and set targets for children and adolescents. Unemployment is one of the basic problems of the region. At present, according to records of TUIK Nevsehir region administration record the rate of unemployment in the region is 6.5 %. This is 12.2 in Europe. Second big problem for youth is early school leaving. However average schooling rate in middle and high school 70,06 % in country it is 64,49 in our region in Turkish Ministry of National Education records. The young population of the region is affected negatively by such factors as limited opportunities of both formal and vocational education and training, high rates of unemployment and absence or insufficient means of social, cultural and leisure time activities. Affecting one in seven young people, early school leaving is one of the greatest educational challenges in Europe, and reducing its levels is a shared objective of EU countries. The prevention of early school leaving (ESL) should be built on a comprehensive approach of the young people, taking into account the family environment, the neighborhood, and his/her life in and out of school. The role of parents his/hers a key element to reduce the rate of ESL. Currently it is a target of European policies to prevent young people from leaving education and training with only a lower secondary education degree or less. Objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy include reducing the rates of early school leaving below 10%.United Europe For Youth (UEFY) is a strategic partnership project for youth which aims to develop a social learning tool for youth workers-institutions to provide mentoring programs for middle and high school youth in Europe to prevent early school leaving and regain the ones who are out of system. The project will form partnerships with local school districts, education counseling authorities, probation services and directorates of youth politics in partner countries. Our project's goal is to foster a commitment to young people that will promote pro-social friendships, strong interpersonal skills and reassert a sense of hope in future. Only through personal relationships can a sense of individual responsibility be reestablished that will give youth the commitment to follow through on path to adulthood with a sense of pride accomplishment. Through repeated failures in the classroom and the development of destructive habits, at-risk young people have lost faith in possibilities that await them if they are successful putting their lives together. To accomplish this goal, young people should be in a caring, inclusive learning environment that promotes their best effort and reinforces personal respect. United Europe For Youth (UEFY) project will develop a social learning tool (one-on-one mentoring system) and test it for seven months on 324 middle and high school youths and the ones who are out of system from different countries of Europe. Because this age group is particularly problematic and it is a perfect time for mentoring to be effective. Project's mentoring programs will pair a youth with a mentor for 7 months. During that time the two will participate in weekly planned activities to strengthen the relationship between the two and improve the young person's confidence and hopefulness. Mentors (youth workers) will receive continuous training throughout the activity and will participate in monthly meetings to report the young person's progress. During project partners will create a learning environment that will be an invaluable resource to young people, aspiring mentors and the community at large. At the end of project activities we will publish a social learning methodology book for youth workers and will create and publish a social learning tool software UEFY Software which will be an free and open source for youth workers all around Europe.Basically our project contains two main goals; A-) Setting a strong local and international network between education system - youth support system - youth NGOs and local youth authorities called United Europe for Youth (UEFY). B-) B-1 : Creating, applying, testing and disseminating a one-on-one mentoring system (social learning tool) to regain at risk young people who are close to early school leaving, out of education system already and met with probation system or police. Mentors are supposed to impose behaviors of commitment, responsibility and possibility cognitively to the young people. B-2: Training of youth mentors.
