Subject: Our proposal aims to develop a pedagogy of local mobility. We will be creating a diagnostic tool to develop individual training plans and also provide the approriate training. Rationale: Intra-Community mobility is a priority in all European countries, and European projects such as Erasmus or Leonardo developed this and fostered public awareness of the issue. Our experiments and investigations show that the mobility (local and regional) remains difficult, especially for the most vulnerable population groups. It impedes access to mainstream education and can prevent people remaining in schools, it hinders positive career choices, socio-professional integration and is a barrier to education and lifelong learning. Description of the tool: In fact it is a set of results. - The first result will be a repository of skills for mobility. - Based on this framework, a diagnostic tool will be developed. This is an online tool with more than 100 items to identify strengths and barriers to a person’s mobility. Some items are closed yes / no questions, others offer several answers. The software will generate a report based on the selected answers. This assessment will result in an individualized training plan and individualized support for mobility. To produce the resulting course we will develop a toolbox offering exercises for all objectives of the mobility repository. The innovative aspect is to provide a coherent set with: basic data repository, diagnostic tool, a plan of action and suggested appropriate training. in addition to this set there will be a training module on how to use the tool. There will be versions in EN, DE, FR and PT. Consortium: The consortium includes 7 partners from 5 countries (BE, FR, LU, PT, DE) comprising people involved in mainstream education, (EQF levels 1 to 5), adult education, teacher training and specialists in the creation and dissemination of teaching aids. The psychology faculty of a university provides scientific back-up for our method. Target audience: The tool is intended for the most fragile pupils in secondary schools and vocational schools and young trainees in vocational training. Impacts : The composition of the consortium will ensure a direct impact with the partners’ target audiences: La Coupole includes partners in employment and training and can easily reach the target groups. The Academy of Reims (Reims education authority) will use it for all pupils enrolled in their integration system to prevent pupils from dropping out of school (a potential of 15,000 young people). In Luxembourg, the SNJ offers guidance to young people nationwide entering the workplace. ABU Berlin offers vocational training and educational support to 800 students and is very much involved in various networks. The University of Porto has excellent contacts with national education and works directly with two schools that will use the tool. All skills related to mobility are multidisciplinary and fall within the scope of key skills for lifelong learning. This is a secondary impact of the project. In 2013 the Euro Cordiale website received 147,845 visits from 194 countries with a bandwidth of 12,358 Gb, which shows the considerable potential impact when the tool is put online.
Context of the project : In all European countries, intra-community mobility is a priority. European projects such as Erasmus, Leonardo and Grundtvig have promoted awareness and development. Our experiments and investigations show that proximity mobility remains an obstacle, particularly for the most vulnerable public, access to or retention in initial training, formulation of positive orientation choices, socioprofessional insertion, and therefore to lifelong learning. Too many teachers, trainers, youth leaders and curriculum makers have little or no awareness of the problem that community mobility can pose to disadvantaged youth. In many situations, disadvantaged young people face mobility barriers that result from a lack of key skills, which are essential for their integration into future vocational education measures and the labor market. Objectives: You'Move ("Youngsters' Mobility skills Evaluation and Enhancement" - - name adopted during the project) offers a pedagogy of local mobility. The consortium has developed a comprehensive educational tool for individual assessment and improvement of mobility skills through the construction of an individual training plan for young people, especially at risk of dropping out of school or in difficulty of integration. This tool is usable for any jobseeker in training or anyone accompanied in a process of social integration. Number and profile of participating organizations: The consortium brings together 7 partners from 5 countries. It is made up of actors in initial training, training of teachers and trainers, specialists in mobility support, and the creation and dissemination of educational tools. This represents a multidisciplinary team composed of teachers, trainers, psychologists, mobility specialists, guidance, socio-professional insertion and the fight against school dropout professionals, authors and graphic designers. Description of the main activities implemented and results achieved: The You'Move project has created a coherent educational package available on www.you-move.eu, offering: • A repository of mobility skills; • A digital tool for assessing mobility skills, allowing the construction of an individual training course based on the repository. This questionnaire is adapted to the regulatory and cultural particularities of each participating country; Between 20 and 30 minutes are necessary for the young people to generate a report based on the answers to the self-evaluation based on a hundred closed-choice items. Open questions were rejected; • An educational toolbox (training, structured exercises, scenarios, ...) to develop mobility skills, on which the youth training plan is based; • An educational booklet and a training module on the use of the tool. The set exists in FR and DE. The Portuguese version is incomplete. Long-term impacts and benefits: For the partners of the consortium, the impact is important. The project improved existing tools for those who were already working on mobility with their audience. For these target groups (young people dropping out of school, jobseekers, ...), the added value is important: there is finally a real offer of training on the theme of adapted and individualized mobility. For other partners, they now have access to this comprehensive tool. Before the end of the project, several structures were interested and collaborations are planned to sustain the action. For example, in September and October 2018, just after the closure of Erasmus + funding, the project coordinator trained several teaching teams to use You'Move. The possibilities of using the tool for free and to be supported by an educational booklet were greatly appreciated by the participants by all the sharing actions, in particular the one organized on 12/06 in Liège (BE), at the Museum of Public Transport of Wallonia. Moreover, the Museum's teaching team will benefit from a specific animation and collaboration is possible.
