Objectives

We wanted to provide a space for youth workers, youth leaders to understand better the background and causes of unemployment of young people and to learn policies in order to fight against it and how these youth policies can be adapted into local youth work activities by exploring and inventing new tools on positive thinking, empowering job seekers and radicalization, marginalization of young people. During 8 working days the participants shared their opinions and ideas on unemployment and were involved in various activities. They learned how to use volunteerism as a way to the labour market, working with E-Job databases, what YouthPass is, how to get a Europass Language Passport, etc. The seminar stimulated young people's spirit of initiative, creativity, entrepreneurship and employ-ability through theoretical input from experts and participants. After coming back home, participants were responsible to transfer their knowledge to young people involved in their organizations and all partner organizations already organized a workshop, info day, meeting etc. and shared the outcomes of the seminar with their staff, members, volunteers. Learning objectives of the seminar were: - To share and explore the different perspectives of youth unemployment with special focus on the structural and individual factors in different countries; - To discover the situation after COVID-19, the social background of youth unemployment in general and the causes in different countries; - To get acquainted with the approaches and proposals concerning youth unemployment of European Commission through European Youth Pact as part of Lisbon Strategy and European Youth Strategy; - To discuss and invent tools how these youth policies can be achieved within local and international youth work activities for with and by unemployed young people; - To invent and explore new youth work tools in local level with special focus on positive thinking, empowering young job seekers and fighting against social exclusion; - To reflect on unemployment situation of youth; - To support youth workers to develop their skills and knowledge in this field; - To promote youth’s involvement in voluntary work; - To encourage the creation of future projects within Erasmus + projects which target unemployed youngsters.
