<< Objectives >>The growing phenomena of violence against women,further increased due to complex cohabitations during the various coronavirus lockdowns,push us to explore methodologies and tools that empower us to deliver more diverse,inclusive and active participation in NFE activities,taking into account the gender aspect and its implications.For this reason, we believe that intervention in the field through youth work is the most effective instrument and that the strengthening of youth workers is required.<< Implementation >>Activities include:1. mapping the situation and positive examples2. the implementation of educational activities 3. the creation of educational material - a tool kit - based on the conclusions drawn from the mapping and the educational activities4. the evaluation of the results and their dissemination5. planning future activities<< Results >>-Creation of a tool kit - that address gender discrimination and prevent gender-based violence-Open the dialogue between young people about gender based violence and harassment,and clarify situations where a behavior violates a person’s dignity,privacy,well-being,or personal boundaries, and consists of harassment and also how to respond to these behaviors either as a victim or as a witness-raising awareness among young people who will then act as multipliers of the message-improve youth work

The project “Start it UP, Keep it UP” is an innovative project focused on promotion of social entrepreneurship. This project focuses on one of newly developed fields in the youth sector of Azerbaijan and the new concept for Europe – social entrepreneurship, emphasizing the innovative feature - creation of social start-up incubators. Project partners are from Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, North Macedonia and Turkey.This project is oriented to the solution of social problems of communities in Europe, where young people can bring a change through a social-oriented start-ups, by equipping youth organizations with necessary capacity in order to provide young people with consulting and training on social entrepreneurship. This will not only solve different social problems in Europe, but also make young people become the main actors of change. The project inspired and provided young people with knowledge and resources in order to bring a change to their community. Besides this, it also created a network of mentors in the field of social entrepreneurship who are ready to continue working in a network and give solutions to social problems of Europe. The project contains 2 coordination meetings (advanced planning and evaluation meetings), 3 Training of Mentors and 1 International Forum on Social Entrepreneurship.To sum up, the project links to the objectives of the Erasmus+ programme by aiming at the development of cooperation between youth organizations from East and West of Europe with a specific focus on capacity development of young trainers and youth workers in order to promote social entrepreneurship in Europe.

The project focuses on child literacy and inclusion, underpinned by continuing concerns about low literacy levels across Europe, particularly among refugee, migrant and disadvantaged communities, and concern about the growth of intolerance and prejudice threatening social cohesion and inclusion as well as harming the life-chances of individual young people subject to discrimination.There is increasing research consensus: low literacy skills are linked to wider underachievement and disengagement, with extensive impacts. “Literacy problems are not isolated unto themselves. Their effects spread like a disease to poor self-esteem, anger and resentment, disruptive and anti-social behaviour.” (https://acea.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Tom_Nicholson.pdf)It is also now widely recognised that participation in creative activity has a significant impact not only on educational attainment but also on intermediate outcomes such as self-concept and social capital, bringing significant civic impacts and increasing social cohesion.In an increasingly heterogeneous Europe, and in the context of these concerns and the research consensus, the project aims to bring partners’ experience in non-formal arts learning activities to bear on literacy and inclusion, boosting achievement through the power of the imagination and supporting whole school inclusion and equality.Targeting Years 5 to 8 across 20 schools in partner countries, the project will pilot a menu of tailored creative activities, planned and managed in close consultation with schools and school staff working with our tutors. It will extend partners’ existing practice on creativity to address social outcomes as well.A strategy publication will help schools develop policies and processes to create cultures of reading for pleasure and inclusion, school staff will be supported to continue the programme with further cohorts, and young participants themselves will create resources which will then be used in further activities and made widely available in an open access training and guidance pack.The project is expected not only to improve young people’s literacy skills but also develop a broader understanding of inclusion and equality, coupled with creativity, self-confidence and motivation to learn and to become lifelong readers. The 20-week course, spread over two school terms, will involve enabling beneficiaries to gain skills in storytelling and creating stories (narrative, graphic or multimedia) as well as short performances. Their creations will be then designed as books or posters that can be used as learning resources by the schools. This project will not only improve young people’s literacy skills and motivation but will also give them a boost of pride and self-confidence. Schools will have gained both an understanding of strategic approaches to improving literacy and fostering positive attitudes to inclusion and equality, and the expertise to sustain activities and positive outcomes following the conclusion of the project, and project resources will be available for wider use in school settings.Overall the project will both address concerns about low literacy levels directly, and offer ways to tackle wider impacts, on general under-achievement and, crucially, on social cohesion. Only a determined effort, backed by strategies at transnational, national and local levels, supported by adequate resources and training, will address these concerns. This project is designed to make a significant contribution.
