In this very hard period, due to the Pandemic, we need to reinvent the way we work; there are less opportunities to have face to face meetings and a lot of activities are carried out on-line. We want to discover and learn how the EU countries are responding to the new lifestyle Covid-19 imposed on us. As an organization working in the youth field, the most relevant priority is supporting educators, youth workers, educational leaders, support staff and teachers with a path on education and training about the strategies and the good practices that associations and schools are using to offer the same quality services. The idea is developing strategic partnerships supporting the setting up and implementation of international strategies for VET providers and for the organizations involved in the project: NaKa from Italy, K.A.N.E. from Greece, Marketmentoro Ltd from Cyprus, Hexagonal from France, CIP Lumbier from Spain, Liceul Tehnologic “Valeriu Braniște” from Romania. We know that some partners have started to find and apply, in their daily work, strategies and methodologies that have allowed them to move part of their work online while continuing to guarantee the same services that were offered before the global pand. Therefore, the first step of the project will be the analysis of the methodologies and good practices of the partners. This stage will be carried out online. The second steps of the project is staff mobility. Youth workers, educators and teachers will learn from the hosting partners, which methodologies they are developing to continue to work in the field of career guidance, orientation and training. The third step will be the application of the methodologies learned from the other countries involved in the project. We think about applying the acquired methodologies in schools, during meetings sessions with the students to help them identify their educational path and professional interests. At the same time, we want to improve the services we offer in NaKa, opening an educational and career guidance service point inside of our organisation. We would like to improve our capacity to: - identify labour market issues to offer the best career guidance for fight the unemployment of young and adult people; - developed new ways to write more effective curricula and innovative educational methods; - develop training courses to upgrade the opportunities of the young and adult through open and distance learning.
Through the project O.R.I.O.N., NaKa's staff wanted to understand how E.U. were moving to adapt to the new circumstances imposed by the global pandemic and a months-long lock-down. The strategies and methodologies observed at the schools and partner associations were very helpful; we will be apply them at the schools where we will be work, during meetings with students to help themto identify the appropriate educational path and their vocational interests. At the same time, we want to improve the services offered by NaKa, opening a training and employment guidance desk. We would like to improve our ability to: - identify labor market issues to offer the best career guidance to combat youth and adult unemployment; - develop new ways to write more effective curricula and innovative educational methods; - develop training courses to improve youth and adult opportunities through open and distance learning.
Because of the pandemic, we need to reinvent the way we work: more digitization of services and the dissemination of real digital education has become necessary. O.R.I.O.N. was born out of NaKa's need to learn how EU countries are responding to the new lifestyle that Covid-19 has imposed. The priority is to support youth-workers and teachers with education and training on strategies and best practices that associations and schools are using to provide quality services. The idea was to develop strategic partnerships that supported the definition and implementation of international strategies for VET providers and organizations involved in the project: NaKa from Italy, K.A.N.E. from Greece, Marketmentoro Ltd from Cyprus, Hexagonal from France, CIP Lumbier from Spain, Liceul Tehnologic "Valeriu Braniște" from Romania. We know that some partners have begun to find and apply, in their daily work, strategies and methodologies that have allowed them to move some of their activities online, continuing to provide the same services that were offered before the global pandemic.
