Start date: Sep 7, 2015, End date: Apr 6, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Young adults are permantely in motion regardless whether they are or aren’t actively engaged in their educational or professional career. They are continually confronted with changes that affect their personal situation and learning process. This requires flexibility, a positive attitude, motivation and perseverance. It is necessary that young adults but especially those with fewer opportunities or NEETs learn to anticipate to the changes in the labor market and society. They have to be motivated to gain: new insights and complementary skills acquired. If this motivation is lacking there is a high risk to establish a social destructive identity and exclusion. As mentioned in section C.1.3 MYT is actively involved in creating a better future for this targetgroup. After a meeting in Brussel november 2014, we concluded that in different European countries, the challenges with NEETs are similair. We met these partners and we feel that they all bring relevant expertise in the field and that we all face the same challenges. Unemployment, the risks of dropping out school etc. To reduce those risks we decided to co-operate to exchange methods of knowledge and competences with the following objectives: - to gain a greater understanding of interconnections between formal and non-formal education, training and the labour market respectively; - to gain a broader understanding of practices, policies and systems in education, training for NEETs across countries; - to gain a greater understanding and responsiveness to cultural and social economical aspects that are triggers for NEETs to be discouraged, unmotivated and uninspired; - to improve foreign language and intercultural competences; - to better the quality of our work and activities in favour of NEETs; -to share best practices, useful methods and to gain innovative ideas. The project aims to create a method that in cooperation will combat the negative consequences of youngsters in the social and economical depraved areas such as leaving school with no diploma. Many young people that grow up in these areas inherits an outsider identity/position with a lower potential for inclusion in society/labour market and a high risk to establish a social destructive identity. The project further aims to exchange methods of knowledge and competences – and for that reason we consider this Erasmus + project to be a perfect complement. We need to improve the knowledge of methods on how to work with NEETs. The project is designed for youthworkers, projectmanagers and trainers, whom represent youth organisations, local authorities, or work in local governments or other public institutions that have experience in project developement, methods and activities for NEETs. The participants for the training and studyvisits must have relevant experiences with the target group, want to learn and co-create, speak english and must be older then 18 and will be selected by the partner organisations. - the participant must be a citizen of one of the Erasmus + programme countries (28 European Union countries + Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey); - the participant must be able to communicate in English; - the participant must be willing to learn and work with other people at an international level; - the participant is interested in projects or working with NEETs or young adults with fewer opportunities. The activities which will be held are seminars, training and study visits. The objective of the first seminar is to discuss similarties, setting inventory and making a selection of avaiblable methodologies. The second seminar aims to review execution and exhange of knowledge by experts. The closing seminar aims to present results, methodology and conclusions. The objective of the training is a lifelong learning, co-creating, exchanges of methodologies and experiences. The aim of the study visits is a lifelong learning, experience of methodology, acquiring knowledge and insight in the backgrounds of non- formal educations Neets, improvement of response to the needs of NEETs and set-up of a collective methodolgy. The expected impact on the participants and participating organisations are: - they have created a sense of awareness concerning NEETs across European countries and de social economical influences; - they are more inspired to motivate young adults with fewer oportunities with new methodologies; - they have a more knowledge of interconnections between formal and non-formal education, training and the labour market respectively; - they are more inspired to use a foreign language; - they have more knowledge of their own entrepenerial and organizational skills; The desired impact of the project at the local, regional, national and European level is: 1. the project has created a sense of awareness concerning NEETs across European countries; 2. the project has influenced policy and workingmethods concerning NEETs and young adults with fewer opportuni
