RED2.0 aims at contributing to the recognition of non formal education as a tool for the development of local and national systems of alternative education to outreach young people and the creation of life projects if this specific target group with few opportunities and that youth workers are lacking information and competences to deal with. This target group is composed by young people that are "hard to reach" through education systems (drop-out) and job/occupation because of low level of academic studies, low motivation to engage in meaningful occupation, undefined life projects and families/context that don't facilitate other learning opportunities.Our main goal is to create an international network of partners interested in creating a system of training that reflects the needs of outreach youth work and be adapted and replied in all partners to develop this field of youth work, through a training kit on the topic and an open educational resource as a MOOC (massive open online course) that will be disseminated to external partners. The activities plan is composed by a coordinators meeting in Portugal, mobility of 11 youth workers, involvement of the target group in 10 EVS experiences, an intensive training course for professional development and collective creation of a system of training, a pilot phase for implementing/testing the training referential, implementation of ideas from EVS volunteers supported by youth workers, a final conference and evaluation meeting, in parallel with the MOOC and training kit compilation. The project aims at assuring that the policies from Youth guarantee regarding the outreach young people are supported by theoretical background and outreach youth work is empowered with competences to allow the development of this sector, with the aim at allowing young people in this target group to build their own life projects and engage in active participation, meaningful occupation and contribution to the community.
