“VOICE” intends to develop structured innovative actions towards increasing the quality of international volunteering mobility (IVM) and building capacity of the youth organizations actively engaged in transnational learning mobility, both sending and receiving international volunteers. VOICE aims to promote IVM as a way to boost youths’ employability potential, foster active European citizenship and feeling as citizens of the world, overcome passivity of younger Europeans and create environment for increasing quality of the IVM supporting organizations. The project has particular importance in terms of evaluating and revising experiences by the 20th anniversary of EVS and recent announcement of the new Commission’s initiative such as European Solidarity Corps.In particular, the project creates new learning tools aimed to support training providers in partner countries and increase quality to On-arrival service provided to European volunteers attending services in partner countries. The project also directly contributes to increasing employability potential of young people throughout providing EVS services to 18 European young people with fewer opportunities, particularly NEETs. The proposal has a special added value due to the innovative cross-sectorial approach and an Open Education Resource development. It’s project objectives contribute to proving youth opportunity “to acquire and develop a mix of knowledge, skills and aptitudes they need to succeed in the labour market” [COM(2010) 682 final].VOICE specific objectives are:- to build capacity of the youth workers and organizations working or intending to start working in the field of cross-continental IVM projects and with ESC initiative; - to capitalize previous outcomes in the field of IVM support and ensure quality transfer of the best practices in the field;- to build personal and professional capacity as training providers of the youth workers from IVM RO based in partner countries;- to create new learning tools based on capitalized outcomes that will contribute to increasing quality of youth work and support provided to European volunteers;- to create opportunity for fostering skills and capacities of European NEETs with an eye to support them in fostering employability potential and further re/enter the labour market;- to promote active citizenship, volunteering and non-formal learning in partner countries.VOICE is innovative because it is made to capitalize existing knowledge on supporting IVM and revise current frameworks of organizational support prior to step into ESC. The project also brings innovative character by its outputs: OER, toolkit and the Glob-bloG. The Glob-bloG (youtube channel with video diaries merged with webpage and social networks pages) is unique communication and dissemination channel targeted specially to peers; it is also a tool to support volunteers during VOICE in gathering new transversal & ICT skills demanded at the current labor market in EU.

“Digital CommanDEOR” aims to raise the professionalization of youth work at global level by supporting youth organizations to improve the dissemination and exploitation of project results (DEOR) methods they use, build up their online identity in order to be more accessible for their target groups, better promote their projects and foster cooperation and exchanges between Programme and Partner countries involved. The project develops structured actions towards increasing professionalization of the youth workers and providing youth organizations with practical instruments for increasing quality of DEOR methods. To achieve this, the project foresees three different youth workers’ mobility activities, number of local activities and elaboration of an Open Educational Resource and manual on DEOR that would allow fellow organizations also building capacity in the field of their external communication strategies and continuing exchange of best practices among peers. Digital technology has potential to create some golden opportunities for youth work practitioners in terms of promotion events, training and volunteering opportunities, driving up attendance and attracting the new members, engaging with young people who may or may not yet access youth provision, ensuring greater visibility of own daily work through videos and photos, establishing online discussions, receiving feedback from young people and getting inspired from the peers. In discussion with other partners we came to conclusion that these tools, which are almost for free, are not used enough as tools for DEOR or used are chaotically without any strategy. The project aims to discover social media potential for dissemination of projects within Erasmus+ programme throughout bridging deliverables of social media marketing (SMM) and ways to apply them to youth work sector.The specific objectives are the following:• To foster cooperation and build capacity of participating youth organizations in terms of literate use of the DEOR methods and to transfer and exchange knowledge in the field of Erasmus+ projects dissemination with particular attention to the use of social media channels;• To develop an Open Educational Resource and a manual on effective online dissemination strategies for youth organizations with particular examples, tips, instructions, adopted social media marketing tools and present it to open access;• To support learning process and professionalization of participating youth workers in the field of communication to target groups and projects promotion;• To build up a quality and user-friendly online identity of participating organizations;• To support accessibility of the information for youth organizations’ target groups – “the digital natives”, to increase number and quality of information sources and promote Erasmus+ programme opportunities on global level;• To increase the visibility of current, past and future Erasmus+ projects on global level.

"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."
