In order to improve the quality of youth work in Europe, the training of new professionals is a must. However, young leaders of organizations in the field of youth work don’t always have the knowledge to successfully implement their own international youth project solely based on their local knowledge. Thus, they will miss out on gathering new, improved practices and their professional advancement will be much slower. Solely as a sending organization, they may have some information about the implementation of an international project but they will not be able to design one that fits their own target group. “Project Kickstarter” was about the management of youth programmes that involve the topic concerning the preparation, the implementation and the follow-up of youth exchanges, for example: group dynamics, project writing, safety of participants, project planning. The aim of the two trainings was to provide the participants with knowledge and tools that improve their organizing skills. The project also provided an opportunity for the participants to find new partners and to build new partnerships. Thus Project Kickstarter was a training that was designed to support young leaders and (international) youth workers in organizing their activities. In the project two interconnected trainings were implemented; the first training was about the planning and preparation of international youth exchanges, while the second training was about focusing on the implementation and program methods. The primary aim of the trainings was to foster the participants to successfully prepare and implement international youth projects. We’d like to achieve this aim through the following four main objectives: 1. Capacity building in project planning, project writing, basic budget-management. 2. Improved group leading skills, group work competences, remote work (e.g. keeping in touch with partners). 3. Improve the intercultural-consciousness of the partners, and to enhance their attention towards intercultural learning. 4. Support the partners’ understanding how to establish good partnerships in a project, how to maintain these partnerships, and how to build a network of organizations of the same values in favour of future cooperation. Connection to objectives concerning youth, the project improved the key competences and skills of young people, including the youth with fewer opportunities, promoted intercultural dialogue, social integration and solidarity, and strengthen the knowledge and acceptance of social diversity. The project also improved the quality of youth work, supported the skill development in the field of youth work, and provided opportunity for groups of young people (via the participants) to put their ideas into practice. Our project also contributed to achieving the annual priorities of the European Union’s legislation schedule, especially to youth initiatives and intercultural dialogue. The project contributes to the objectives of Erasmus+ in the field of youth work as well: - supports young people’s, young leaders’ and youth workers’ sense of initiative and professional advancement with the aim of the innovation and improvement of the quality of youth work in Europe and to support their communities; - provides opportunity for partners to build their international network, capacity, active participation in society, and to improve the identity of European citizenship; - promotes intercultural dialogue and inclusion; - promotes recognition and validation of youth work and informal and non-formal learning at European, national, regional and local levels.
