CONTEXT AND BACKGROUND Formaat is the federation of youth clubs in Flanders (420 members). Since january 2014, 35 of the professional youth clubs are running 41 projects on the topics of artistic expression and/or entrepreneurship. Formaat takes up a coordinating and supporting role in these projects, supports the project managers via educational programmes,... For this reason we are willing to organise a mobility project to Copenhagen (Denmark) for 30 youth workers (project managers). OBJECTIVES During a five day programme, we would like to visit a number of interesting organisations and projects in Copenhagen. The main focus will be lying on education & training, youth organisations, arts education, community arts, social and creative entrepreneurship,… There are three main objectives: Objective 1: To nurture and strengthen projects on artistic expression and entrepreneurship Objective 2: To build up a body of knowledge on the topics youth (work), artistic expression and entrepreneurship. Objective 3: To build and maintain international relationships with similar organisations number and profile of participants; 22 Flemish youth workers (2 supervisors included) who are running a project on artistic expression / entrepreneurship in a youth club 8 Danish professionals (2 supervisors included) who are working in youth projects ACTIVITIES AND METHODS During the mobility project a number of visits will be planned to a number of organisations, policy makers, decision makers, municipal employers, hotspots, … The visits are meant to be informational and inspirational, creating a clear view on the situation in Denmark and Copenhagen and giving background on interesting projects and organisations. Aforementioned activities will be combined with recreational activities with a less formal character (e.g. visit to museum, music club, bar, sports activity) and a number of free moments. IMPACT IImpact for "Objective 1: To nurture and strengthen projects on youth culture and entrepreneurship" The participants of the mobility project develop and maintain qualitative and innovative projects on youth culture and entrepreneurship in youth driven spaces.
