The Europe 2020 goals for a more inclusive Europe with higher social integration and cohesion are more important then ever in light of increasing societal tension linked to the economic crisis, increasing multi-ethnicity and immigration, cuts in public services etc. Young people are particularly affected and the number of antisocial behaviour complaints reflecting incidents involving young people and relating to drugs/alcohol, harassment, property damage, noise etc. is on the increase. This conflict has a high cost: antisocial and conflictive behaviour impedes the development of the young people involved and affects the well being, education, social and economic progress of other young people and society as a whole. Today, municipal authorities are compelled to seek new ways of decreasing conflict and promoting social inclusion, especially among disadvantaged youth. Youth peer-to-peer community mediation is an effective strategy but is still in its infancy in Ireland, UK and Spain, and is virtually unknown in Romania, Slovenia. If its benefits are to be made available to young people, all those actors entrusted with youth services, must undergo a shift in skills training and vision.Young Community Mediators seeks to do just that: bring together youth workers, public authorities and wider stakeholders in an innovative, cross sector Regional Alliance to:a) Create, publish and promote the “Young Community Mediators Toolkit” to encourage the creation of Regional Alliances for peer-to-peer mediation across Europe;b) identify the skills, opportunities and best practices by which young people can be empowered as peer-to-peer mediators in their communities, devising individual and collective commitments to action in five regional action plans; c) Develop, test and optimize an innovative training curriculum and multimedia online course to train youth workers to impart mediation skills to young people in creative and dynamic ways. Young Community Mediators will be delivered by five organizations from the public, private and non-profit sector each with a strong track record in youth work, social inclusion and citizenship, and education. The project will be lead by ROSCOMMON LEADER PARTNERSHIP (RLP), a high profile hub organization working with dozens of regional and national partners. They are joined by Fundación Nuestra Señora Aparecida (Spain), East Belfast Enterprise (UK), Amicii Petru Poni College (Romania) and SPES Association for Cultural Relations (Slovenia.) YCM represents a new generation of youth education projects because of its ability to reach disadvantaged youth and encourage them to become proactively involved in community around them, combating disengagement and isolation on part of both mediators and those who benefit from the mediation. The project positions youth mediation as a new route to increased citizenship and has the advantage of empowering young people to take up a leadership positions among other young people, acquiring useful transversal skills in the process such as problem solving, value creation, negotiation and self esteem.As a result of our project: - hundreds of young people (16 – 30 yr olds), the majority from disadvantaged backgrounds, will acquire knowledge and skills to settle disputes peacefully in schools and neighbourhoods, widening their own confidence, responsibility and skills ultimately useful for employers, and contributing to the wellbeing of those around them. - youth workers and youth work organizations will adopt new strategies to incorporate new skills teaching, thus enhancing the relevance and quality of their work for problems facing youth in daily lives in today’s society- those responsible for youth public policy will find new ways of engaging with hard-to-reach young people, often from disadvantaged backgrounds. - Schools, neighbourhoods and communities will experience increase in wellbeing as more disputes are settled peacefully and less escalate into antisocial or violent acts; with resulting increase in cohesion and potential for future positive change as young people envisage greater role in society. - Stakeholders in the region will understand and actively support integrated approach to ensuring high quality youth work and informal skills training for more and more young people.

Context: The “ComPass 2016” action was an exchanges of practices “Strategic Partnerships for adult education” with the EU focus “Accessible Tourism for All”. The action has deled with the topics “Health and wellbeing” and ”Intercultural/intergenerational education and lifelong learning”, and “Mi-grants' issues”. Actual accepted is that the design and implementation of “Accessible Tourism for AlL” concepts is the primary base for the future growth of the tourism industry everywhere. An insuffi-cient awareness by tourism promoters as well as on the level of micro and small tourism enterprises is to note towards the personnel skills, qualification and competence requested by the promising “Accessible Tourism for All”. Tailor-made training and continuing education for managers and em-ployees in the tourism industry is important to enable them to cater effectively for guests with special needs and to provide high-quality tourism offers. Objectives: The action’s main objective was to ex-change specific good practices and experiences in qualification and training gained in the action mat-ter respective to the needs of micro and SMEs in the participating countries. The exchange should run on such issues like Job qualification in high-priced quality tourism regions development; Acces-sible tourism, especially for people from ethnic minorities, migrants and in opening up entrepreneur-ship opportunities, and Tourism for 3rd age. Participating organisations: Six partners from Germa-ny, Federal Land Brandenburg, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Spain, Latvia and Greece were in-volved in this action. They represented Regional Development Agencies, an NGO, a National Universi-ty, and Foundations. Activities: The project partners realised six Bench Mobility (five days each) in Burg (Spreewald/DE), Ostrava (CZ), Santander (ES), London (UK), Riga (LV) and Athens (GR). These Mobility are characterised by visits to representative regional good practices. So, the participants got see by itself on-site solutions how and which way problems were solved. The exchange of opinions, know-ledge and expertise took place most of all in direct personal contacts with these regional stakeholders. At the end, the participants could take at home in practice gained experiences to use in their own activities. All project activities were organised barrier free. Results/impact: The main project impact is summarised in the following statement: “It makes business sense as well as being a moral imperative to think about what can be done to provide a better service for people with a disability. From that perspective it was heartening to know that people are thinking about these issues and the project was an opportunity I think to raise awareness about those initiatives and provide the basis for future discussion.” (Jeremy Barker (UK). Project participant who sees things through the prism of his own direct experience with disability). In total 119 direct beneficiaries and 142 indirect beneficiaries have actively participated in the six Bench Mobility. The project has reached by communication activi-ties like newsletters (subscribers), web sites (visitors), press statements, social median (Facebook, Twitter followers) etc. approximately 6.000 interested persons. The evaluation shows that the main lessons learned are, that in every partner country micro and tourism SMEs have the same difficulties to acquire skilled personnel; the migration workforce in this sector is essential; the micro and SME´s need to be trained to accept and professionally integrate migrant’s workforce and that this workforce needs to be proper trained; that the sector must be open to capitalise from other Human Resources as people with disabilities and be flexible and cooperative in the training process. All results are downloaded in the ERASMUS+ Results Platform. There are different impact levels to note. The direct involved stakeholders got most of all a better and enlarged expertise how the same problems are solved in different European countries especially about how to develop person-oriented service competences and make tourism facilities and services more accessible, by one hand, and practical intercultural, social and civic competences and behaviours by the other. “Mobility within the project were very beneficial for my work in the regional destination company, mainly in terms of practical demonstrations of accessible tourism in Spain and in Latvia.” (Lucie for CZ). The participating organi-sations got a deeper inside and raised expertise in the matter of “Accessible Tourism for All”. Longer-term benefits: The shared good practices on wide aspects in “Accessible Tourism for All” will be in-tegrated into the regional educational systems and in the daily entrepreneurial practise. The enhanced European and Transnational networking of partners created will continue after EU funding and proba-bly lead to other common European projects in this or other issues of common interest.
