The project was prepared in cooperation with 14 organizations from Poland, Belarus, Egypt, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Romania, Georgia, Jordan, Italy, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Spain. Our experience and observation showed that the soft skills of youth workers, i.e. their personal, communication and social skills, which make them able to diagnose the needs of young people and select appropriate methods of working with them, are extremely important in working with young people. Another factor determining the effectiveness of youth workers is their openness and understanding of diversity. Their flexibility is also important, i.e. the ability to adapt to the current situation, challenges or needs of young people. In our opinion, it is these features and skills that should be developed and improved in people who work with young people. Therefore, the idea was born to prepare a training, during which they will develop and strengthen selected soft and intercultural competencies, and will also have space to exchange experiences. We believed that the development of these competencies would translate directly into the quality and efficiency of their work, and thus will have a significant impact on the development of young people. A youth worker who is well prepared to work as a facilitator is able to guide the group so that it achieves its intended goals, while at the same time taking care of the development of each of its members. Partner organizations that also recognized these problems joined the planning of the project. We have prepared a questionnaire that we sent to partner organizations with a request to be filled in by people who work with youth in a given organization. Each of the organizations identified the most important needs of youth workers. It turned out that in most cases they are consistent. The training was prepared to meet all needs. The project responded to challenges such as: 1. The need to develop soft competencies of youth workers, in particular the facilitation skills, as well as to increase the international dimension of work with young people. Partner organizations indicated the need to develop their employees' ability to conduct and moderate meetings/debates as well as creativity. After some time, the youth workers lack new ideas and use methods they know well. On the other hand, when working with young people, it is important to have a creative and innovative approach. Therefore, it is important to equip them with the necessary tools and to create a space for the exchange of experiences and good practices. In cooperation with young people, we also recognized the international experience as valuable. 2. The need to extend the reach of work with youth to include young people from marginalized groups. Partner organizations indicated that after some time of working with youth in our local communities, the circle of people we reach begins to close. The organizations stressed that they needed a new impulse, and the employees needed specific tools to engage young people from marginalized environments. 3. Strengthening the ability to reach young people in the digital space. During the pandemic, most organizations had to start online work. As a result, meetings and trainings for young people were held online. It turned out that experienced youth workers have a problem with the new model of cooperation. There were questions on how to prepare the meeting so that it would not be in the form of a lecture and, despite the new reality, it would be interesting and engaging young people. Knowledge of online tools that will help to engage young people in activities in the absence of the possibility of live meetings is at this point one of the basic skills that a youth worker should demonstrate. The main objective of the project was the professional development of 28 youth workers from 14 countries in the field of youth work, in particular facilitation, including digital reality. Detailed objectives achieved during the project implementation: - participants' soft skills were increased, they were equipped with the tools needed to conduct interesting workshops, moderate debates and online workshops, - the quality of youth work was improved through the exchange of experiences, - modern facilitation tools were presented, - the competencies to work with marginalized youth were increased, - youth workers were sensitized to the problems and needs of people with fewer opportunities and were given support in selecting appropriate methods and tools for effective work with them, - the first ToolFair The project was consistent with the priority of the Erasmus + Program for 2021 - reaching marginalized young people by youth workers. The training was eventually attended by participants from 10 countries - participants from other countries could not take part due to COVID restrictions.
