The WHY? The project’s idea comes from the analyses of needs and objectives inside our own association and from our partners. For identifying the organisations’ and learners’ needs, Diversity and Integration Initiative (DII) utilised, before planning the project, a detailed needs and objectives analyse template to our partners using Individual interviews, Group interviews, Observation, Focus group methods and interpretation of these records. The conclusion of the analysis of the organization’s needs points out that our NGOs hardly managed to have temporary activities and superficial cooperation with formal education. Which identified the following learning and organizational joint needs : - Lack of continuous activities to keep up the motivation of new volunteers and members; - Lack of specialized staff for group activities, facilitation and socio-educative animation in NGOs’ frequent learning programs; - No specialized youth trainers for organizing nonformal educational activities for the local community, especially schools; - Lack of adapted learning instruments and materials for connecting non-formal to formal education; - Low employability opportunities for youth trainers and former volunteers in the educational domain; After our project proposal received high points for quality and was listed among the very first reserves in February deadline 2018, together with our partners we were motivated to rework project according to the feedback from the independent evaluators and our expertise and re-submit it again.After the common agreement, we decided to extend the duration of the project from 3 to 5 months. In short, we’ll prepare a group of trainers in European Citizenship topic (including HRs, intercultural learning, democratic values) empowered to run non-formal afterschool sessions focusing pupils’ civic behavior. Each of the 6 partners will have 4 representatives in the Network of Youth Trainers, each pair of 2 youth trainers will run one 7 sessions designed educational program in a local school. To do this, our project aims to : For Learners: 1.Raise with 108 the number and quality of European citizenship non-formal activities in the formal system by creating a network of 33 professional Youth Trainers –multipliers of non-formal education specialized in running after-school learning sessions for 5 months. 2.Тo increases the employability opportunities for 30 participants as future trainers into formal institutions or youth centers. 3. Improve knowledge of planning, implementing and evaluating of 30 participants about school nonformal learning programs for developing the sense of European citizenship for formal learners for 7 days; 4.Boost creativity in running non-formal curricula in formal institutions, especially on European citizenship using methods as socio-animation, graphic facilitation, mind mapping, social media tools, living library, photo-voice, storytelling for 7 days. For Organizations : 1.Facilitate the synergy and transition of competences and know-how between 6 nonformal organizations and 14 formal organizations to the benefit of young learners using grassroots educational activities for 14 months. 2.Increase the attractiveness and capacities of 6 partner organizations by supporting their 27 Youth Trainers in acquiring skills for running leaning programs for developing the sense of European citizenship in their communities; 3.Develop new international dimension and cooperation strategy for 6 partner organizations by including their 30 Youth Trainers in a network of practice on European citizenship and identitybonding together both formal and nonformal actors in education for 14 months; 4.Improve the support for a transition between non-formal and formal by conceiving and multiplying new educational methods adapted to 14 formal education institutions for 14 months; 5.Ensure the recognition of non-formal learning for 30 participants from 6 countries through cooperation between the Network for youth trainers and high education institutions. For the local community: 1. With the rising level of unemployment – as the 30 youth trainers will have great chances to find alternative routes into the labour market and promote social mobility 2.equipping youth workers with competences and methods needed for transferring the common fundamental values of our society particularly to the hard to reach young people and preventing violent radicalization of young people
