CONTEXT The current European context is marked by a strong cultural diversity, which arises as a result of migratory and racial flows that are intensifying at large steps. Often adaptability and resilience problems are visible in young people from ethnic minorities, migrants and refugees, who, together with low socio-emotional competences and adverse social situations, reveal inability to make decisions and/or not (re)recognize their personal abilities. This lack of competences compromises the decision-making process and, as a result, reduces the levels of motivation and perception of the future of these young people. The lack of openness to intercultural dialogue and contact with other ways of being, being and thinking has repercussions on community integration, resulting in low tolerance for difference, lack of understanding of the other and lack of empathy and solidarity. OBJECTIVES -Promote social, personal and emotional inclusion of young people through the development of key competences and emotional and intercultural intelligence; -Empower the youth workers with new key competences, practices, strategies and non-formal methods of youth intervention, boosting their capacity for local operationalization and transnational cooperation in solving common problems; -Consolidate an inclusive and innovative intervention that guides the work with young people in terms of social inclusion and the empowerment of young citizens who are emotionally more stable, aware, active and oriented towards European needs and priorities; -Provide results with potential for scalability and transferability that guide a participatory and inclusive intervention in the work with young people about socio-emotional competences (as will the intellectual outputs). PROFILE 1) Young people -16-22 years; -With fewer opportunities, facing (preferably) cultural, social and economic obstacles; -Provence of minorities, migrants and/or refugees; -Motivated to participate in the project and the Erasmus+ Programme; -Motivated to participate in activities that promote the development of socio-emotional competences and emotional and intercultural intelligence; -With the ability to influence peer groups and the community; -With the ability to absorb results and adopt new behaviours. 2) Youth Workers -18 years or +; -Experienced and know-how in the youth field; -Knowledge of the social problem and the identified needs; -Experienced and know-how in intervention with young people with fewer opportunities (particularly minorities, migrants and refugees); -Experienced in contexts of intercultural dialogue; -With know-how and/or interest in socio-emotional competences and emotional and intercultural intelligence; -Knowledge of the Erasmus+ Programme and project; -Motivated in developing competences and learning to improve intervention with young people; -Motivated to work with young people with fewer opportunities; -Motivated to involve young people, the community and stakeholders and to produce social changes. ACTIVITIES AND NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS The number of participants per activity must be defined by organisations based on their capabilities. The activities with a specific number are identified. 1) Phase 1: Planning and Preparation -Internal meetings; -External meetings; -Transnational meeting (TM) 1 (2 yw); -Preparation. 2) Phase 2: Implementation -Development of content and materials (DCM); -Intellectual Output (IO) 1; -Virtual cooperation (VC); -Training course (3 yw per organisation + 1 trainer); -IO2; -Local intervention (general reference of 10 participants); -TM 2 (same as the previous one); -TM 3 (same as the previous one); -Blended mobility (4 young people from EUROACCION and ION GHICA a 6 young people from PSIENTÍFICA + 1 team leader per organisation). 3) Phase 3: Monitoring and Evaluation -DCM; -Monitoring and evaluation; -TM 4 (same as the previous one). 4) Phase 4: Dissemination and Exploitation of Results -DCM; -Disclosure and communication; -Dissemination and exploitation of results; -Multiplier Events; -Booklet. 5) Phase 5: Closing -Closing. METHODOLOGY The project will be developed based on the methodology of non-formal education, with informal and formal education being complementarily used. RESULTS -Booklet; -Methodological Manual (IO1); -Emobox (IO2); -Development of learning and 8 key competences, socio-emotional competences, emotional and intercultural intelligence. IMPACTS -Development and promotion of direct intervention competences with young people with fewer opportunities in terms of emotional intelligence; -Improvement of interventions through the sharing and adaptation of practices of all the organisations involved; -Specific competencies for the continued implementation of national and European projects such as the Erasmus+ Programme; -Society with a greater capacity to value children and their potential for social development.
PROBLEM Social exclusion of young people with fewer opportunities (namely ethnic minorities, refugees, and migrants), which emerges because they face cultural, social, and economic obstacles and, in some cases, have deficits in emotional and intercultural intelligence. OBJECTIVES -Promote the social, personal and emotional inclusion of young people through the development of key competences and emotional and intercultural intelligence; -To empower YW with new key competences, practices, strategies and non-formal methods of youth intervention, boosting their capacity for local operationalization and transnational cooperation in the resolution of youth problems; -Consolidate an inclusive and innovative intervention that orients the work with young people towards social inclusion and empowerment of young people who are emotionally more stable, aware, active and oriented towards European needs and priorities; -To provide results with scalability and transferability potential that guide a participative and inclusive intervention in working with young people on socio-emotional skills.
The current European context is marked by strong cultural diversity, which arises as a result of rapidly intensifying migration and racial flows: -Between 2010-2016, 7 million people of all religious backgrounds arrived in Europe as migrants or refugees; -The Roma (gypsy ethnicity) community has a population of over 10 million (the largest transnational); -One of the communities where EUROACCION intervenes is 99% Arab; -In Romania 3.3% of the population is Roma (Census 2011); -In Agueda there are 8 Roma communities, mainly in the outskirts of the municipality. NEEDS -To create responses at the educational and youth level that include the personal, emotional and social development needs of young people; -To have moments of reflection and sharing of ideas and expectations, emotions and feelings; -Develop interventions focused on young people's confidence, motivation, and ability to interact; -Demystify prejudices and stigmas that emphasize deviant behavior; -Develop results that innovate intervention at the level of socio-emotional skills in young people with fewer opportunities (given the scarcity of solutions on a European scale).
