"It is now demonstrated that european mobility has concrete impact on the social and professional life of young people. It is for that reason that more and more young people are interested in realizing such european initiatives. To support all these young people (and especially the young people with fewer opportunities) it seems absolutely necessary that more professional actors in the field of Youth to be well skilled in the management of european mobility projects. High number of Youth Workers know that such european opportunities exists and that they can be really useful for their beneficiaries but they do not have the skills and knowledges to support them correctly in their european initiatives. Indeed, there are many very important steps in the management of European Mobility projects for young people. For all these steps, strong skills and knowledges are required to accompany them perfectly in the construction, the preparation before the european mobility project, the monitoring during the experience, the capitalization and the professional orientation of the young people after their return. A support to Youth Workers is absolutely necessary to insure the relevancy of such european experience on the professional and social life of the young people (depending on their objectives, their difficulties...). Moreover, a good mobility project management from Youth Workers also insure the good impact of such opportunity on the young people (especially those with fewer opportunities) and facilitate their social and professional inclusion after their return. This project called ""European Mobility Project Management Platform"" (e2MP) aimed at bringing new skills and knowledges to the Youth workers in the management of European Mobility Projects for young people. In order to reach these objectives, different tools were created: - Online quality training in the field of European Mobility Project Management for Youth Workers.- Specific online session dedicated to the European Mobility project management and support of people with less opportunities.- Evaluation and certification process to evaluate and certify the quality of support and the skills of Youth Workers in the European Mobility Project Management after following the training- Guide for a quality professional orientation and inclusion session from Youth Workers to Young people after their mobility projects- Online platform to capitalize and share all the created tools, practices and methods concerning the training on European Mobility Project Management for the Youth Workers in EuropeAll this innovative and online tools were largely disseminated to Youth organizations and institutions at the local, national and European level to ensure a high quality support in the management of european mobility projects by many Youth Workers and to ensure a real and long term impact on the professional and social life of the young people (and especially the young people with fewer opportunities)."

Context: Europe is facing difficulties in integrating the refugees and providing YP with employability skills and jobs. This matter becomes more difficult for PWFO who may face learning difficulties, discrimination, social exclusion. According to Eurostat, ‘youth unemployment rates are generally double or more than double than the unemployment rates for all ages’. (http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Unemployment_statistics ) In 2014 about 5.1 million YP in EU were out of work, increased from 4.2 million in 2008. (http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Labour_markets_at_regional_level) PWFO face daily problems of social integration, differences of culture, difficulty in financing their education and training, and as a result at risk of marginalisation. COPE objectives:- to promote EU values, diversity, social inclusion, inter-cultural and social dialogue;- to fight against long-term work/education/training inactivity;- to connect young people (YP) in Europe to Erasmus+ (E+) beneficiaries to exchange good practices, discuss opportunities, - to increase YP participation in community,- to connect YP with job centres and E+ sending/hosting organisations,- to motivate YPWFO to take part in a mobility project. Research (http://ec.europa.eu/youth/tools/documents/evs-impact_en.pdf ; http://www.europemobility.eu/download/Workshops/DIMITRIOU_Workshop_Impact.pdf ; ADICE-Europe Direct Roubaix from Nord-Pas-de-Calais' study) shows that PWFO taking part in a mobility projects become more confident, open-minded, improve their language skills, enhance their employability skills and in consequence, find jobs easier. The partnership is aware that not all YP and especially PWFO are aware of the existence of such projects and proposed the Target group: youth and especially YPWFO. The consortium realises that YPWFO need more/simplified/bespoke training than others to increase their employability skills, prepare for the departure in a mobility project and have equal chances in finding a job. It is also known that PWFO participating in a mobility project are likely to face a ‘cultural shock’ not only upon arrival in the receiving country, but also in making the transition back to the values of their community at home. Activities and results: To address these needs, the following tools have been created: - An online platform: will gather all the created tools and give YPWFO in Europe. Our original (parts) of the project description suggested that we offer the opportunity for YP to connect and exchange good practices, advice, practical information, as well to develop their network and to keep in touch with people after their mobility project. However, having detailed discussions with our partners and web design company, we agreed that in order to implement this specialist requirement it would raise high risk to potential users. The other challenges were future maintenance of partners to deal with abuse of the forum. Our web design experts advised that this type of website would require bespoke type design in order to accommodate this requirement. EU and European and international mobility grants - making EU and mobility understandable to all YP. - A guide helping young people YP in their project preparation: the guide will explain practical information and the life cycle of a mobility project.- Online training materials to enhance YPWFO soft skills and support acquisition (documents, links that people can use to prepare themselves before the departure). Impact: As previous participants and managers of mobility projects are aware, the importance of exchanging knowledge with peers is paramount. Connecting people and offering an online training, will not only develop engagement on E+ projects, but allow them to socialise and exchange on cultural diversity, debate about community subjects, cultural events, methods of working. The platform will also facilitate youth managers work while preparing YP before the departure. The participants will already have an overview and know what to generally expect from their future project. The partnership expects from this project to increase YPWFO soft skills, to address the lack of information regarding the mobility projects, to increase the number of YP taking part in a mobility project and in the community's activities and to increase their cultural and diversity awareness. In the long term, more YP will participate, increase their acceptance regarding other cultures, will find it easier to attain a job and contribute to economic growth. The tools are accessible from a distance and at no costs which makes them available to everybody in Europe and around the world. M-Events have been organised in all the participating countries gathering representatives, young people with fewer opportunities (YPWFO) and Alumni. The IOs have been presented and the online platform has been tested by those attending the Multiplying Events held at all partner.

SPEED - Social Processes Empowering Entrepreneurship Development aimed to improve entrepreneurial skills of young people with fewer opportunities and promoted and supported their inclusion in the job market, through an extensive set of activities based on Non-Formal Education to start a personal, professional, social and cultural process of growth.To reach the objectives we have structured a Consortium, made up of 2 different University one in Mexico and one in Portugal, an Italian organization with great coordination experience, an expert Estonian organization in non-formal methods and five other organizations with extensive experience in working with disadvantaged youth, from Europe and Latin America, which aimed to:- to train youth workers on Non-Formal Education methods and techniques based on Marketing, Sociology and Economics Theories to support the acquirement of creativity and entrepreneurial skills in young people with fewer opportunity;- to apply contents pertaining to Formal Education schemes into Non-Formal Education systems, activities and contexts;- to promote the acquirement and the improvement of entrepreneurial competencies, communication skills, marketing and creativity in disadvantaged youth;- to create a technological and IT digital system for self-taught learning, based on OER, containing theories and practises on entrepreneurship;- to promote Volunteering Activities as a mean to foster and multiply the impact of project activities, tools and materials on disadvantaged youth.During the project implementation, the two different universities and their departments of Sociology and Economics, cooperated with youth workers to better support and train young people with fewer opportunities, who are facing a lack of opportunities and skills, in entrepreneurship and, to guarantee monitoring and quality to the whole project process.Aims and objectives were reached through the following activities:- Online cooperation between partners;- 1 Kick-Off Meeting + Study Visit in Argentina;-1 Coordination Meeting in Italy, in addition to online cooperation – Study Group Strauss/Universities;- 1 Training Course for Youth Workers in Italy;- Volunteering Activities for 12 Volunteers in EU and Latin America;- Local workshops on social entrepreneurship in 6 countries;- Final evaluation meeting (online).The activities sponsored and powered by the partners of the consortium produced:- An academic study, promoted for publication at international level on “Paper” by the Mexican University;- an E-learning free platform for youth that collects digital contents to support the self-taught learning of young people in relation to Social Entrepreneurship www.speedstrauss.com - A promotional video made out from the experiences of the 12 volunteers involved in volunteering activities.The project suffered from the severe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the consortium's countermeasures and good cooperation ensured that the quality of its products and activities was not affected and the achievement of its objectives was not precluded.

"Enter Digital Era promoted a renewed co-operation between European and Latin American countries to improve digitalization of Youth, through improved organizational processes of the NGOs, digital and communication skills of the youth worker and their ability to transfer these to young people of the local communities. The activities, corresponding to the principles of Capacity Building in the Field of Youth, made the NGOs able to reach their targets more effectively. To reach the objectives a mixed Consortium was made up, with 2 different University from Mexico and Turkey, an Italian organization with great coordination experience, an Estonian NGO expert in NFE and five other NGOs with extensive experience in volunteering, from Europe and Latin America, which aimed to:- strengthen the capacity of organizations to better identify and analyze the needs of young people and communities, promoting innovation in methods of research and the integration of these with the digital- stimulate cooperation and promote synergies between the NGOs working in youth sector and those active in the fields of education and training- improve the skills and digital competences of youth workers so to innovate working methods, effectiveness, approach to the target audience, evaluation and monitoring of their work- improve the online presence of the Partners, through know-how transfer with regard to the creation of communication strategies, web and social media strategies promote the digital and technological literacy of the young people as target group of the NGOs involved- offer training and learning opportunities on the digital to youth and youth workers and guarantee on the same subjects opportunities for mobility.Aims and objectives were reached through the following activities:- Online cooperation between partners- 1 Kick Off Meeting in Colombia- 2 Coordination Meeting in Turkey and Italy - Study Group Strauss/Universities- 1 TC for Youth Workers- EVS for 12 Volunteers in EU and Latin America- Local workshops to digitalize Youth and communities in 6 countries- Final evaluation seminar + final conference in MexicoNGOs have been successfully trained on digital resources and strategies for No-Profit, learning new and different skills on the field, instruments and tools that they are already using to reach their target group. In addition, they have benefited from the exchange of skills and experience with other Partners. The Organisations were able to draw on the experience and scientific methods proposed by the Universities in the field of needs analysis. The Universities themselves have experienced a different and new perspective on learning through Non-Formal Education, so much so that they have decided to engage in other projects and initiatives in the field of Erasmus+ Youth. The young people who have participated in the Voluntary Activities have been able to live a formative and intercultural experience, full of a learning of personal, social, professional skills. For many of them, the experience of volunteering in such a different context from their own has been life-changing. The young people and local communities included in the Capacity Building activities were able to experience a world of opportunities that they were not aware of, through digital local workshops.The activities that the partners of the consortium sponsored as well as a promotional video about the project and a paper-study on the impact of the same on young people and the communities, produced:- a study paper on academic contents of which the Mexican University was promoter for publication at an international level;- a ""T-Kit – Non Formal methods to digitalize Youth Work"" to support NGOs and Youth Worker in their work- an Open Content Platform of free training contents, www.enterdigitalera.com, such as guides on the digital and opportunities for and interexchange of volunteers and projects of international mobility."
