World Bank defines social inclusion as the process of improving the terms on which individuals are being involved in society, thus improving the ability, opportunity, and dignity of those disadvantaged. (http://tiny.cc/ok1zlz) The 2008 economic crisis has led to high youth unemployment rates. Nonetheless, specialists predict that 2020 economic crisis triggered by the spread of Coronavirus will overcome even the damage previously made by the 2008 financial crisis, especially in the youth employment sector, as multiple dimensions are unprecedented and unknowable. According to Eurofound, currently 14.2% of the EU27 population aged 15-29 is already in NEET category (http://tiny.cc/161zlz), and figures are expected to rise in all countries affected, world-wide and especially in the EU and EaP. Thus, all member states will be burden with the disastrous situation of unemployment (especially youth) and will be required to take essential and costly measures in order to provide sustainable, coherent and cross-sectorial social inclusion actions. Moreover, in these times of jobs uncertainty together with globalization, it becomes essential that youngsters should not be stuck within one geographical area or even work field when they are searching for jobs or other inclusion opportunities. European Solidarity Corps aims to promote social inclusion by facilitating access to opportunities for young people with fewer opportunities. According to 2017 Study on the impact of transnational volunteering, more than 80% of ex-EVS volunteers (out of 10480 respondents) stated that their involvement in the program has been helpful for professional future, by identifying new opportunities for future careers, helped them clarify what they want to do, prepare them for international work and build the necessary competences to develop the paths. Moreover, 91% of the respondents detailed that EVS had a significant impact on employ-ability chances, half of them finding their first job as a result of their involvement, and 9% of alumni started their own business. (http://tiny.cc/tc4zlz) In 2017, over 5200 world-wide NGOs were actively involved in EVS, and currently there are 6922 active NGOs registered on the European Youth Portal. Hence, our overall involvement in the social issues combined with the organizational capacities of all entities can provide an answer to the economic crisis generated by the spread of Coronavirus and help protect the socially excluded/in risk of social exclusion youngsters (NEETs), by providing effective engagement alternatives to traditional employment. Yet, there is still an abundance of complaints in regards to the quality of ESC projects. The complaints come from volunteers, ex-volunteers, coordinating, hosting and sending organizations, and it focus on several aspects: from having activities unfit to the project, to the mismanagement of the budget, lack of resources to live in the hosting country, hosting associations complaining about the preparation of the volunteers, confusion about the support staff, abandonment of the volunteers when they return to their country, shortcomings in regard of the learning objectives and much more. Thus, due to the current situation, Erasmus+ and ESC programs potential when combined, and our specific expertise, we aimed to use ESC platform, by generating a capacity-sharing space and build quality standards of international volunteering projects as an efficient response to the unemployment crisis. Hence, during 9 days mobility and throughout the project period, we intended to: 1. Improve the organizational capacity of 9 NGOs for developing inclusion projects, by promoting ESC program as a solution to youth unemployment; 2. Develop a common understanding for 29 participants on how to properly design an ESC projects with focus on quality, based on the inclusion needs of NEET youth; 3. Empower 29 youth workers in managing top-quality ESC projects by exchanging experiences and good practices, good management of the project, inclusion strategies, analyzing characteristics and jointly finding solutions; 4. Building stronger synergies and lasting partnerships among 9 NGOs from EU and EaP and develop min. 5 common ESC projects in 2021; The project follows: a. Social inclusion EU priority by promoting effective inclusion opportunities (volunteering, internships/jobs) through the ESC program and empowering NGOs with necessary competences to provide such opportunities for NEETs; b. EU Youth Strategy by: - Stimulating partner organizations to sustain the participation, involvement and empowerment of youngsters at risk of social exclusion; - Opening youth work towards cross-sectoral cooperation and building stronger synergies between EU and EaP civil society. c. Mobility priorities by: - Increasing the volume and quality of volunteering mobilities between EU and EaP countries; - Encouraging the participation of NGOs who have not yet benefited from Erasmus+ or ESC funding.
