Project “HELP - Handle Emergencies Like a Pro!” was aimed at exchanging experience and good practices, at developing competences needed to react under stress and in case of an emergency, create action plans for such events, and identify spaces where youth NGOs can be active in such situations, also by providing our organisations with basic competences in managing crisis situations and emergencies in a structured, informed, and organised way. The project increased also participants’ opportunities for professional and career development (by equipping them with valued competences), and improved their foreign language competences (as the training was held in English). Important aspect of the training was also increased motivation and satisfaction in participants’ daily work and leverage of their position in partner organisations. The project promoted formal recognition of non-formal education, in particular through use and promotion of Youthpass certificate. The project concept was rooted in recent developments related to the global COVID-19 pandemic, and needs of partner organisations to respond to such crisis situations and emergencies in a professional and structured way.
