The ACTION project proposes a three-strand approach to re-engage NEETs in education and training framed in a digital and social media production training environment.1. Partners will focus on developing a suite of action-learning resources that are completely different from the formal provision that has failed in the past. The action-learning resources will use inquiry-based, embedded-learning resources to unlock the talents of marginalised youth to build high-value, transversal skills that are essential for inclusion, personal development and employment.2. The training will be delivered in a ‘scaffolded’ team-learning environment to ensure that learners have the support of their peers throughout the training process.3. The training will be entirely built in a digital and social media production framework where there are potential roles and opportunities for individuals of all personality types allowing target group members to participate and learn according to their own individual preferences. The proposed training resources will focus on the use of the most widely available digital and social media devices such as smart-phones to ensure that the resources developed are usable by youth workers everywhere. The project will engage marginalised youth and support them on a journey to unlock latent talents. It is a project that gives voice to marginalised youth and in doing so cultivates positive attitudes towards education and training within the marginalised youth target group and raise awareness of opportunities for personal and professional development. Youth workers are the key training intermediaries in the ACTION project and partners will ensure that appropriate in-service training is provided to support their continuous professional development and build the skills and competences of those working on the front-line.- 42 youth workers will complete the in-service training programme developed building their skills and competences to use digital and social media production and digital media platforms as robust, pertinent and highly attractive learning environments for attracting marginalised youth back to education and training.- 210 representatives of the NEET target group will complete the audio-visual production training programme and build key transversal skills for personal and professional development.- 42 short films with a civic and social engagement theme will be researched, story-boarded, written, produced, edited, promoted and presented by the marginalised youth engaged as part of a skills demonstration- Short-film festivals will be held in each partner country to showcase the short films produced and to encourage the next batch of marginalised youth to engage with the training programme provided.- A dedicated Vimeo/YouTube channel will be developed to showcase all of the short films produced- A project Facebook page will be established and over the lifetime of the project over 100 articles will be posted by project partners attracting a minimum of 1200 followers- A Final Conference will be held in France to present all resources produced and this will incorporate an awards ceremony where the best short film produced will be presented with an appropriate award.
