As explained in the original application, as an organisation we work within 4 strategic themes reflecting both our knowledge and expertise, and the types of partnerships we have developed over the last 10 years. All our projects support one or more of these themes; Reducing social isolation; Employability; Intercultural learning and heritage; Digital media We believe that these themes dovetail seamlessly with the overall Erasmus + programme objectives in boosting skills and employability; modernising education, training and youth work and focusing on young people. At a time when Europe is in a state of flux, particularly affecting young people , due in part to pressures on the cohesion of communities, we wanted to offer a new leadership training course for youth workers, teachers and adult volunteers to demonstrate the effectiveness of the model, and promote and disseminate the impact to a wider audience. We also wanted people to understand that leadership is not always just about "being in charge": our project was not about training "future leaders" but about developing a broad range of "leadership skills" that are valuable for youth workers, teachers and adult volunteers in their professional life, but more importantly will have a direct bearing on their relationships with young people. . Our objectives were to help youth workers: - Gain knowledge of and make plans for social action and community cohesion - Understand effective teamworking - Understand self as part of a wider ability to cooperate effectively with others - To make use of digital media to communicate with marginalised young people - To improve general communication skills - To promote intercultural working - To improve organisational and administrative skills; presentation skills; and general professionalism and professional development (punctuality, respect, reliability, self-management etc). These skills are needed by youth workers seeking to engage and develop young people, and motivate them to become not only active citizens of Europe (and the world) at a time of increasing uncertainty, but also key members of local communities. The underlying theme of this project was leadership in a social action setting. This had a particular relevance to planning and structuring community action to support socially isolated people which includes immigrants and refugees where applicable. Non formal education methods allowed for greater understanding of the concept and planning for future action.
