Youth workers training on Mobility
Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Apr 30, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Our objectives consist in developing youth mobility opportunities in the area by giving youth workers in both our countries an understanding of the multiple benefits of mobility. Indeed, most of youth workers have not do date had any mobility experience. it as as consequence that they don't really understand how important it can be in youth trajectories, and especially concerning Youth With Less Opportunities on which we focus for this project. In order to achieve this, youth workers themselves need then to experience mobility themselves through exchanges with other youth workers from other countries in order to be able to transmit to them the benefits of European mobility, and allow them to lead by example and create an appetite for mobility projects amongst their peers and of course, for the benefit of young people. To reach this goal we aim to train youth workers in a number of areas including: - the understanding of the Erasmus+ programme especially EVS, - exchanges with workers from another country - to use this to allow them to fight against cultural stereotypes, and fear of the unknown We will do this through 2 Youth Worker Staff Mobility activities for bothe in France and the UK. It will include a number of visits to existing youth service provision centres in both Paris and London, together with practical facilitation and workshops designed alongside this to engage the staff involved immediately and directly in thinking about how to translate the learning into new opportunities for their young people. We hope through this initial personal development of the staff involved to build a network of committed and reliable organisations ready and prepared to engage their own staff and young people in youth mobility and to bring a long lasting and string foundation and practical mobility network between our members through which to achieve this.
