The general idea of the Project is to improve the skills and employability of young people with special attention to those who have fewer opportunities by creating Local Intergenerational Civic Councils. The CIA project makes the relationship between young and old can be extremely positive, allowing on the one hand the development of personal and professional skills based on the exchange of knowledge and experiences between young and old through Local Intergenerational Civic Councils, with the aim of improving the employability of young people and allow their access to civic decision-making, with special reference to the group of young people who, due to their scarce training, experience or level of skill development, have greater difficulties in entering the labor market. The objectives proposed in the CIA project are: -Promote the employability of young people through local civic intergenerational participation -Foster an open and participatory dialogue among young people, the elderly and local stakeholders. -Promote, through intergenerational councils, the active participation of young people in civic decision-making -Support employability actions through active youth-adult cooperation - Use emotional intelligence as a means of developing interpersonal skills and competences through young-adult relationships The activities of the project aimed at achieving the project's objectives and achieving the planned results include the following: The development of three intellectual products: IO1.-Operational manual for the functioning of the local civic intergenerational councils and drafting of a Training Module based on the development of specific "hard" skills for the participants in the CIA. IO2.-Practical guide for facilitators and interlocutors of Inter-generational Civic Agents IO3.-Collaborative platform for the promotion of the Intergenerational Civic Councils and training of facilitators and interlocutors. Conducting a training course for civic intergenerational agents: non-formal training of facilitators and interlocutors of the CIA. Organization of five workshops to improve the functioning of the CIA The expected results during the execution of the CIA project are the following: -The creation of a Local Civic Intergenerational Council model, applicable to the objectives and functionalities of the project that can be extrapolated to the different European countries. -The implementation in each partner country of an Intergenerational Civic Council managed by the facilitators that present the results obtained in the CIA project -The creation of a collaborative platform that will allow, on the one hand, the electronic learning of future CIA agents and facilitators through the modules already created and, on the other hand, serve as a collaboration channel between youth and Civic Intergenerational Councils and their corresponding agents in order to help fulfill the objectives set in the project. The target groups of the project, all of them directly or indirectly involved in the project scenario, are the following: -Young (with special attention to those with lower professional qualifications) - Youth employment agents - Town Halls - Elders associations - Local development agencies - Training centers linked to the training of young people with less possibilities - Local employment agents - Regional governments - Chambers of Commerce - Youth NGOs The six partners of the CIA project in Poland, Spain, Portugal, Turkey and Romania are linked to the field of training and improving the employability of young people, forming an association of experts in which the contribution of each partner provides wealth and experience for the achievement of the objectives and proposed results. The transnationality of the present project is fundamental to provide information and useful ideas for the design and execution of the activities, as well as to integrate the knowledge and favor the necessary empowerment to achieve the objectives that are pursued. The participation of a multidisciplinary consortium is necessary to give wealth and achieve the scope and quality of the results required by the recipients of the project. For this reason, a partnership has been created in which the following partners provide different areas of expertise: - Fundación Universitat Jaume I - Empresa (Spain) - Directia Judeteana pentru Sport si Tineret Brasov (Romania) - Associação Sójovem das Saibreiras (Portugal) - Tavsanli Kaymakamligi (Turkey) - Fundacja Instytut Badan i innowacji w edukacji (Poland) - Asociacion de innovacion emprendimiento y tecnologias de la informacion y la comunicacion (Spain).
The general idea of the Project is to improve the skills and employability of young people, with special attention to those who have fewer opportunities through the creation of the concept of Local Intergenerational Civic Councils, creating a link between generations for a common good: giving voice to older adults and activate the participation of young people in civic decision-making processes, providing them with a set of useful skills to improve their employability prospects. The objectives of the CIA project are: -Promote the employability of young people through local civic intergenerational participation. -Foster an open and participatory dialogue between young people, older people and local stakeholders. -Promote, through intergenerational councils, the active participation of young people in civic decision-making. -Support employability actions through active youth/adult cooperation. -Use emotional intelligence as a means of developing interpersonal skills and competences through young / old relationships.
In the current times, we find a generational gap between young and old. On the one hand, what is considered as ‘youth’ is getting longer and longer and, on the other, that the life expectancy of the elderly is increasing. In addition, we live in a world in which great technological innovations have been achieved very quickly. The 2.0 and 3.0 era entails a great technological advance in our society, but causes a communication problem between young and old, that can only increase. We believe that the implementation of actions, such as those that the CIA project proposed, can make the relationship between young and older people extremely positive, allowing the development of personal and professional skills based on the exchange of knowledge and experiences between young and older people through Local Intergenerational Civic Councils, with the aim of improving the employability of young people and allowing them to access civic decision-making spaces, with special reference to the group of young people who, due to limited educational background, experience, or skills-set, have added difficulties to enter the job market.
