Objectives

„Partner Up“ Partnership Building Activity, as the name says it, aims at creating concrete partnerships between organizations who provide various cultural activities with and for young people. All of our partner organizations wish to implement quality, efficient and fruitful international activities in the future, and that is where the idea of „Partner Up“ has started. Establishing effective and inclusive partnerships takes time, and it is important for all participating organizations to create the right framework from the start and review the structure and process of the partnership on an ongoing basis. With this project we will address the needs of all participating organizations for quality projects, we will share authority and responsibility which will lead to mutual benefits through concrete project ideas. This project is designed as a multilateral activity and therefore it's aim is to bring together potential partners and to facilitate the development of new projects around a chosen topic(s). Participants will not have just an opportunity to develop new project ideas but also to share their past projects, their field of work, to learn about and to experience the programme and methodology of creating a project, monitoring and evaluation, just as the follow-up and the dissemination of project results. All these elements are relevant when it comes to implementation of projects, and for this reason, we will create a space for them to advance their project management skills through creative expression and mentorship. By building partnerships we will accelerate learning and distribute skills and knowledge, and we will become more motivated to add a stronger impact on our local communities. Therefore, this project is an important opportunity for us because our team will have the chance to share their knowledge and local, international experiences in the non-formal education context. Accordingly, the main objectives of the „Partner Up“ are: to bring together youth workers in order to create new project ideas within the Erasmus programme; to build the capacity of participating NGO's in project management within the Erasmus programme; to provide information about structure and tools aimed to help and improve the quality of youth projects. By providing a comfortable space for work, networking and co-operation between project partners, „Partner Up“ will foster capacity building in participating youth organisations. This will be achieved through increasing participants’ skills and knowledge and by offering international networking possibilities. Doing all of this above, we believe that we are building democratic leadership of young people and that we are strengthening the youth social capital. All the knowledge, skills and attitude changes resulting from this specific PBA aim to contribute to the improvement of the quality of future Erasmus+ projects organised by participating organizations. And last, but the most important, in this way we are creating new opportunities for youth all over Europe.
