Since 2010, reducing youth unemployment and finding solutions to integrate as many young people as possible into the labour market have been high on the EU policy agenda. The economic context in Europe, marked by crisis, has led to high youth unemployment rates and a lack of youth engagement. Since 2010, at European level, the term NEET has been used to describe the category of young people who are not integrated into the labour market and who are not in education or training. The concept of NEET is increasingly used as an indicator for youth employment, education and training policies. In 2017, Romania ranked 5th in the EU in terms of the proportion of NEET young people, with a percentage of 19.3%. According to Eurostat data, the 20% percentage was surpassed by Italy (25.7%), Cyprus (22.7%), Greece (21.4%) and Croatia (20.2%), while Bulgaria is right behind us, with 18.6%. Two Latin countries, France (17.1%) and Spain (15.6%), are at over 15%, together with Slovakia (15.3%). At the other end of the scale are the Netherlands (5.3%), Slovenia (8%), Austria (8.1%), Luxembourg and Sweden (8.2%) and the Czech Republic (8.3%), showing a close link between national economic performance and participation of young people in education and/or work. At European level, the average number of NEET people reached 14.3% in 2017 (a figure exceeded in previous years due to the economic crisis). In this context, finding solutions for the NEET category has become a priority both on the EU political agenda and for some EU Member States. In Romania, the proportion of NEET is higher among the female and rural population. Most often, the NEET condition is accompanied by other problems such as alcohol and drug abuse and social exclusion of those young people who are not included in the educational or professional system. All these problems make NEET young people a vulnerable group that needs attention and support. The project aimed to support these young people by training, at the level of partner organisations, of the youth workers to help young NEETs in the process of social inclusion. The specific objectives of the project have been: SO 1: to acquire skills and knowledge by youth workers in order to be able to help young people with fewer opportunities to integrate into society to overcome their situation of fewer opportunities and to face the phenomenon of social exclusion SO 2: identification by 26 youth workers of tools and methods for working with NEET people and young people at risk of marginalisation, as well as identification of opportunities to address these young people. O3: training of 26 youth workers in the field of promoting social entrepreneurship among NEET and young people at risk of marginalisation SO 4: development of a common youth policy of the participating organisations, responding to the aspirations and problems of NEET and at-risk-of-marginalisation young people in each country participating in the training, development of youth activities, their evaluation and monitoring. SO 5: knowledge of youth policies in participating countries with reference to social inclusion The project met the objectives of the Erasmus+ programme: - social inclusion: the project aimed to train specialists from organisations working with young people at risk of marginalisation and NEET young people, so that after participating in the project they can work more effectively for the social inclusion of these young people. - supporting youth workers in developing and sharing effective methods to reach marginalised young people and prevent the spread of racism and intolerance among young people: a working session was dedicated to the sharing by youth workers/leaders of non-formal education methods that can be used to combat discrimination and social exclusion of young people at risk of marginalisation and NEETs - supporting the inclusion and employability of young people with fewer opportunities (including NEETs), with a particular focus on young people at risk of marginalisation: by promoting social entrepreneurship and youth programmes we wanted to decrease the number of NEETs and contribute to fighting social discrimination and racism. - increasing the quality of learning mobility: the whole project has been centred around the learning process for the direct participants in the project activities, giving special importance to the learning reflection and awareness process and the Youthpass certificate as an integral part of this process.
