YKSE stands for Young Kreativ Social Enterprises through the mobilisation of Digital skills and Intercultural dialogue. Our project proposes a new training methodology and scheme for youth workers who will guide and mentor young people with low school attainment and our of employment and education to start up a Kreative and social Enterprise. The training pathway for young learners will equip them with updated digital and marketing skills which will be useful to deliver innovative and creative products or services.YKSE wants to provide a solution to the great challenge caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The unprecedented socioeconomic crisis makes the most vulnerable groups suffer the most due to rising unemployment levels and social inequalities. Among those groups, young people are the hardest hit, especially those with lower educational attainments and more difficulties to find a job. This crisis makes the volatility of the world market more evident than ever, with a continuous demand for new capacities and skills to adapt to the labour market demands.But COVID crisis has also meant a training divide, with educational alteration due to the closure of training centres, reduction of practical training in work placements, and gaps in content and connectivity in digital training. Access to internet or technology has supposed a learning divide for the most vulnerable students, and so has the possession of the digital and transversal competences needed for an efficient online learning experience (such as planning, time management, motivation, autonomy, etc). Students that are not performing well due to special educational needs derived of personal or socioeconomic difficulties, with normally low self-esteem and motivation, lack of attention and impulsivity, and low levels of transversal competences, are less probable to maintain their engagement and to end satisfactorily an online training, increasing their risk of drop-out, school failure and exclusion.To create a valuable alternative for disadvantaged youth, YKSE will develop an e-learning platform for youth workers and educators to be ready to train the young cohorts in a hybrid (blended) way and using the virtual and digital tools developed by the partners. The training that we propose focusses on the development of social creative entrepreneurial skills adapted to the digital economy. Youth workers will accompany NEETs and young people at risk of drop-out in an engaging and innovative peer-coaching pathway in which they will learn how to start up Social KreativEnterprise. The methodology of the YKSE project focuses on providing youth workers with the skills to understand young people in difficult economic situations and socially excluded. School drop out, unemployment or low attainment levels make it difficult for young people to be engaged and active at the social level. The role of youth work represents a gateway for young people and boosting youth workers capacity to get young people involved in highly socially creative training can make a difference in their lives.The proposed training will not only improve the digital teaching skills of the youth workers who will be implementing a hybrid learning programme (offline and online), but it will also encourage the young learner to design a business model taking advantage of the technological and digital tools they dispose of. In this way, youth workers will be empowered thanks to market-relevant training and set of digital tools that can be transferred and applied to other contexts different from the entrepreneurial ones. They will be encouraged to use the tools and access an online and free platform in which they will acquire the knowledge and competences to coach young people in starting up a social creative enterprise since the creative and cultural sectors provide for millions of work in Europe and are capable of engaging the young cohorts in relevant and socially valuable activities.The main outputs of the project will be:IO1: A methodological framework for youth workers to work with disadvantaged young people focused on emotional intelligence and self-awareness. The methodology and guidelines will equip youth workers with the relevant skills and know-how to engage young people in training during the difficult moments we are living.IO2: Curriculum with Practitioner Guide and Modular learning programme for youth workers. The curriculum will provide youth workers with the right competencies to guide young people in setting a creative social enterprise.IO3: E-learning platform: YKSE platform is aimed at creating an online space for youth workers to updated their set of skills at any time and anywhere.We have foreseen the direct participation of 8 youth workers in the LTTA and 12 young people in the national pilot training.

RESOLVE: CRD programme aims to promote awareness, understanding & innovation on a local, national, Balkans, EU & international-level focusing on social conflicts affecting young people (YP) throughout Europe: Eastern Europe/the Balkans (Bosnia-i-Herzegovina), Western Europe (UK), Nordic Europe (Sweden), Mediterranean Europe (Italy) & through a Continuous Professional Development Network throughout Europe.RESOLVE: CRD develops innovative reconciliation-focused training methodologies, pedagogical materials & toolkits designed to develop the skillset & competences of Youth Workers, Educators, Trainers, Mental Health professionals, Community specialists etc. working with YP, affected by conflicts – both community-level, violent conflicts & post-conflicts situations.Utilising the expertise of partners based throughout Europe, RESOLVE aims to develop the professional skillsets of youth professionals working on community conflict & post-conflict issues, developing societies’ much needed Community Reconciliation Champions at a time where there exists so much intolerance throughout our communities; youth conflicts; & young peoples’ lives affected by post-violence. RESOLVE aims to ensure that this skillset is standardized through the design & implementation of a Continuous Professional Development (CPD) strategy and promoted through the current RESOLVE: Network launched by UK Partner Asfar, in partnership with Wings of Hope in 2018. The RESOLVE CPD strategy will ensure that each Reconciliation/Peacebuilder professional are suitably trained in their profession with specific focus in working with YP, address the current skills gap, lack of professionalisation of the Reconciliation youth sector & recognition of the sectors’ achievements.RESOLVE aims to develop the reconciliation skillsets in Mental Health professionals who work with young people significantly effected by conflict, post-conflict & community conflict issues through the design of a unique reconciliation training methodology designed for mental health workers, to become key community reconciliation professionals within the youth sector.Linking the Mental Health sector with the Reconciliation youth sector, RESOLVE will design & mobilise a unique pedagogical programme aimed at addressing Burnout amongst Reconciliation community/youth sector professionals. Working in a conflict zone (whether post-conflict, current conflict or on a community conflict level), results in significant burnout for professionals, with limited support of burnout prevention in existence throughout the Balkans or the rest of Europe. Through the strategic design & launch of a awareness campaign, the RESOLVE: CRD partnership will increase awareness & understanding on burnout in Reconciliation Youth professionals & will provide guidance, prevention support & management of burnout to community professionals working in reconciliation with young people.

Gender Inequality and lack women entrepreneur has always existed in the history of the humanity and on the last 70 years the situation got better, but if we maintain the flow none of us will see gender parity in our lifetimes, and nor likely will many of our children. That’s the sobering finding of the Global Gender Gap Report 2020, which reveals that gender parity will not be attained for 99.5 years.The Global Gender Gap Index rankings of 2020 Hungary occupies the 105th place, Italy the 76th, Romania the 55th, United Kingdom 21st, Denmark the 14th and Spain the 8th. One of the goals of Anthropolis is to fight gender inequality. This is why we decided to form the Strategic Partnership. After a careful selection process, we decided that the entities who will be involved in the Strategic Partnerships are: ASSOCIAZIONE SUD (Italy), SC International Internships srl (Romania), Asfar CIC (United Kingdom), I-BOX CREATIVE (Spain), InterCollege APS (Denmark) with Anthropolis Antropológiai Közhasznú Egyesület (Hungary) as an Applicant Organization.All the entities mentioned above will work together on achieving the project objectives:1.To transfer the best practices to counteract gender inequity among adult women:Each has their unique set of tools and knowledge developed for gender inequality counteracting and targeting the environment of their country which we seek to comprehend in order to be able to attend our service users better;2.To learn best methodologies, methods and tools to empower women entrepreneurship:Our strategic alliance will acquire new tools to empower women entrepreneurship for “Equal Start” and for changing vulnerability (unemployability) in gratitude (micro enterprise);3.To increase the level of awareness of gender inequality by adult women:We want to raise awareness level of gender inequality among adults of vulnerable groups such as the Romani women, disabled, LGTBQ, immigrants, refugees, elderly etc.4.To strengthen alliances at the regional, national and European level with entities that fight to counteract gender inequality and to empower women entrepreneurs.To be able to achieve the goals mentioned above, the Strategic Partnership will carry out the following activities:-Kick Off meeting online due to the COVID19 situation: to review the work plan and distribute tasks and deadlines among participants;-Transnational Meeting Final Evaluation in Romania: to carry out the final evaluation, having in mind a correct project closure.-4 Participatory Visits: hosting organisations will be InterCollege (Denmark), Associazione SUD (Italy), IBOXC (Spain) and Asfar (UK), they have been designed to share best practices, knowledge and tools each of the organisations developed over the years working on counteracting gender inequality and to empower women entrepreneurship with other organisations.-Course in Hungary for LAB 4 GE: fight against gender inequality and to empower women entrepreneurs hosted by Anthropolis. This has an objective of further sharing and transferring best practices, knowledge and tools gained during Participatory Visits.Transnational meeting and Participatory Visits will be attended by 2 persons from each entity (Project and Dissemination Coordinators), who also will be joining the course in Hungary. The course, additionally, will be attended also by 2 adult trainers and 2 adult learners selected by each organisation. The participants involved in the project will improve their methodologies, broaden horizons, gain new abilities and tools in order to better approach their daily tasks regarding gender equality and empower women entrepreneurship. They will also become more active as European citizens at local, national and international level. Other organisations, adult workers and adults will raise their consciousness level using tools and best practices which has been presented during the course. As to the Strategic Partnership itself, its members will improve their staff skills and will be able to implement the best practices and tools gained in their daily work, significantly raising the level of their services. The participating organisations should also act as multipliers.As results of LAB4 GE an online catalog of the educational tools learned and a policy commitment for at least 3 other NGOs, companies and/or social enterprises per each partner involved will be published.
