"""Not Just Number: Youth Work, Migration and Asylum in Europe"" is an international youth capacity-building project aimed at strengthening co-operation and developing capacity of youth organizations in dealing with migration and asylum issues in the EU and Western Balkans. The project is built on a broad needs analysis conducted by members of the project consortium in their communities and responds directly to needs and problems of their target groups – young people, notably those with fewer opportunities. The project is way to deepen and extend local activities in the fields of migration and asylum awareness conducted by consortium members in their countries. The main problems the project responds to are: low awareness of migration regulations in the EU and Western Balkan, prejudice and discrimination against migrants and asylum seekers and negative portrayal of migrants in the EU and Western Balkan countries. The project will create synergies between the fields of youth work, formal education and training, through co-operation with formal educational institutions in campaigning on migration and asylum matters.Formal objectives of the project are: - to facilitate exchange of expertise on approaches to migration and asylum education in youth work, - to train youth workers in using education tools developed by IOM and UNHCR (starting with the ‘Not Just Numbers’ Toolkit),- to develop a youth campaign raising awareness of migration and asylum issues, - to strengthen the capacity of consortium members in tacking migration and asylum issues- to promote further trans-national learning mobility and networking between youth organisations in the EU and Western Balkans."

The project directly addresses the needs for gaining knowledge and practical tools, for developing new strategies by youth workers to take further action in future in intercultural learning field. This will help to extend the network between youth organisations which can organise concrete and specific media and visual arts tools in future to promote cultural diversity in their communities. Participants from European youth organisations will have the opportunity to gain a better understanding about cultural diversity for Balkan Region and other cultures represented and plan projects with common vision on the international level. We have chosen multimedia as a universal platform to tackle cultural diversity issues for two main reasons: for once, it is a versatile tool that allows for different forms of activity regardless of skill level. Secondly, through the use of multimedia tools young people can develop their transversal skills and thus our youth work offer becomes relevant to other aspects of their lives – education, employment, training. The main aim of the project is to develop the competences of European youth workers in the use of multimedia tools in youth work, mostly through photography and video to promote the positive image of cultural diversity. During the project we will explore key elements that refer to cultural diversity such as: personal cultural backgrounds, identity, nationality, religion and beliefs, living contexts, tensions, cultural sensitivity, prejudices and stereotypes.

“Theatre of the Oppressed through Multimedia Lens” is a capacity building project which aim to involve 8 youth organizations from Western Balkan and EU which work in inclusion field through the empowerment and support of youth workers with effective tools in multimedia and theatre of the oppressed techniques adding quality to youth work in local and international level. Our project offers an innovative blend of novel tools in theatre of the oppressed and multimedia work with addressing a key emerging challenge for European youth – social inclusion and respect for human rights. Our project will be based in three main learning pillars: first one will be exploring the concept of social inclusion, since all our partners are working with young people with fewer opportunities; second one shall be to bring together two powerful tools such as Theatre of the oppressed and Multimedia and teach youngsters how to incorporate these two tools together; Third pillar will be improving competencies (skills, knowledge and attitudes) of participants in taking action in different levels using different visual art tools such as theatre, photography, video, multimedia etc. The key concepts for social inclusion of young people such as: Minority, majority, migration, asylum, refugee status, tolerance, anti- discrimination, xenophobia, active citizenship, European citizenship, intercultural learning will be tackle and explore during the project. Activities planned in the project are in international and local level combined together and following a logical line. Methodology used during the whole project is based in non formal education approach with a variety of methods such as group work, video, role play, theatre, simulation exercise, learning by doing, collage, debate.It is very important that this project will give youth leaders transversal skills (use of multimedia especially) that can be used not only in youth work but elsewhere, thus increasing employability of our participants and then, indirectly, young people they will be working with upon their return to their sending countries.

"""Leaders of Future' is capacity building activity involving 8 partner organizations from Western Balkans and programme countries, gathered around the need to assure sustainability of international component of their work, by improving competences and supporting learning of 24 youth leaders and youth workers of the new generation. The objectives of the projects will be achieve through 3 mobility activities - a training course for leaders and organizers of international youth activities (in Albania) for 32 participants, as well as two youth exchanges (in Albania and FYROM) which will gather in total of 82 young people. These youth exchanges represent the practical phase for participants from the training course, and an opportunity for them to put their newly obtained competences into practice, by leading groups of young people and helping them tackle on-going European problems regarding refugee crisis and xenophobia. Another aim of the project is to create an Internet portal for exchange, learning and support, as well as mentorship process for participants in the project, but also other young people who are willing to create and implement a youth exchange in future. Further visibility of the project, dissemination of its results and outputs will be achieved through large-scale final youth event, that will gather all partners, participants and other youth organizations, institutions, networks and public authorities in Balkan area This project strives to achieve long-term and sustainable support for new generation of youth leaders and youth workers in partner organizations and as such will serve as an example of good practice and starting point for advocacy for greater support to other capacity building programs for youth workers."

"Projects is capacity building activity of consortium from Finland, Spain, Croatia, Macedonia, Albania, Lithuania, Kosovo and Serbia with the aim to enhance quality of non-formal education activities in the youth field through supporting critical reflection on dominant paradigms, principles, techniques, processes in NFE and via integration of e-Learning and ICT in youth work in Europe. One of the output of the project is an e-based publication with the title ""NFE reloaded” that articulates those reflections, and that is available in the languages of the partner countries. It is a contribution to the EU linguistic diversity and will further raise the potential for dissemination and exploitation of the project outcomes. The publications on English and all project partners' languages can be found on following link http://iqnf.education/mod/page/view.php?id=5Second aim of the project was to provide new knowledge and skills to “analog” youth workers and trainers community and find creative ways on how to combine ""analog"" tools in youth work with digital tools and e-Learning to attract growing number of young people using Internet and Social Networks.
