Objectives

"Cooperation for Youth Exchanges Development" (CYED1920) is a mobility of youth workers project. They rally, for two mobility activities, 50 youth workers from Romania, Spain, Estonia, France, Greece and the Czech Republic. Of the 6 partner organizations, 4 were members of the same coordination (Contact 2103). The Greek organisation has been partner of a strategic partnership project with the French organisation. This strategic partnership was aimed at developing tools facilitating the implementation of a youth exchange project. The Czech organisation is a historical partner of the Romanian organization. The project includes 2 seminar activities. The first will take place in Romania in November 2019 and the second in France in January 2020. The 50 participants mobilized are "youth workers with little or no experience in the field of international youth mobility, but who have the will and the means to put in place in the near future ". Participants take part in both activities. The partners share the following observations: - International youth exchange activities are meaningful and part of their goals and activities. - Youth actors / workers have - frequently - a prescribing role for the implementation of these projects; they are proactive in their ability to consider the needs of their target audiences (young people - indirect beneficiaries of the project). - Youth workers face obstacles in the implementation of these projects (lack of training, benchmarks, turnover in organizations, lack of information from their hierarchy ...) . CYED1920 sets the following 4 goals: - Remove the obstacles encountered by youth workers in setting up a mobility project (language practice, administrative management of projects, lack of benchmark for the construction of intercultural projects, creation of partnership ...) - Allow organizations impacted by the project to measure the relevance and feasibility of youth exchange projects and their contingencies. - Measure the opportunities offered by the Erasmus + program; develop new project designs relevant to the changing needs of audiences. - Share high quality practices / equip youth workers to conduct project of international youth exchange. At the end of the second activity, it is expected as a result of the project that the participants will implement / support the implementation of youth exchanges for the coming months (if possible, youth exchange project submission to the round # 1 2020 or round # 2).
