Objectives

PROJECT OBJECTIVES The project aimed to offer youth workers from different countries and European organizations, effective tools to work with young people, with a special focus on the young Neet, and other categories of young people at risk of social exclusion. The methodology that the course aimed to transmit to the trainers was based on a maieutic approach, as a way to encourage the emergence of the personal resources and unexpressed potentialities of young people, with a specific focus to: - young NEETs; - young migrants and refugees; - young people drop out from school; - young people at risk of deviance; - young people living in culturally or economically deprived areas. In particular, the educational path that youth workers learned had two specific purposes: - allow young people to become aware of their abilities, attitudes, values, and in this way help to define their own personal "life project"; - enable young people to learn about their living environment and interact with it, giving their contribution of thoughts and actions. Particularly the project achieved these objectives using the autobiographical and digital storytelling methodologies. The self-narration is in fact one of the most effective ways to promote self - knowledge, and so strengthen self-confidence on personal abilities. In this sense the specific teaching methodologies adopted, represented a powerful and effective tool to promote the social inclusion of disadvantaged youths.
