For the combat of the crucial issue of youth social exclusion, surveys the last years found that apart from being a source of entertainment and physical fitness, outdoor activities are a powerful social and educational tool in achieving goals on not only personal development but also peace in society. Outdoor activities allow youth to actively participate and to learn by doing, as learning requires a lot of work and activities. They help youth to change theoretical knowledge into practice, record it in the long-term memory, and create solutions to problems they encounter in daily life, based on what they have learned. Therefore, through outdoor activities we could educate youth on leadership, foster role models, promote peace and give youth hope for the future. POWER-OUT is a European youth project aiming to address the challenges of social exclusion and marginalization of young people while raising awareness on the importance of outdoor activities as a worldwide known tool for tackling inequalities and social exclusion which gives the base of our initiative designed by young people for young people. Fifty-Fifty believed that outdoor activities are a key tool for developing important social and personal values in youth, such as team spirit, inclusion, discipline, perseverance and fair play. From our experience we proudly embraced the belief that young people that practice outdoor activities are less likely to fall into extremism and it facilitates their inclusion, brings them the opportunity to acquire sport values as part of their educational process and allows them to feel part of a group and society. POWER-OUT aimed at providing a Workshop, where youth workers learn to successfully implement Outdoor Activities. They received a hands-on experience on how to use them as an educational tool for youth and social development. The project places a significant emphasis on the inclusion of marginalized young people with fewer opportunities, who demonstrate great potential and interest in becoming community youth workers. The project aimed to train and equip youth workers and youth leaders who are working directly with disadvantaged young people in underprivileged rural and urban areas with essential tools, methods and skills on how to use the European Training Strategy (ETS) methodology to provide sustainable development in their regions. The main objective was to build the capacity of 40 youth workers from 10 countries in 2 activities: (1) a Seminar and (2) a Training Course, taking place respectively in Albania and in Greece. The first activity aimed to set a common understanding of ETS among all participants by, for and through outdoor activities. A1 provided a perfect opportunity for preparation and introduction to A2, where participants, as experienced youth workers, developed ETS tools, test them and plan their practical usage. During the first activity, we set a common understanding among all participants regarding education BY, FOR and THROUGH outdoor activities. Objectives: •Raised awareness of the importance of intercultural dialogue, mutual understanding and tolerance among young Europeans of different origins • Drew attention to the importance of social inclusion especially concerning young people from disadvantaged cultural and ethnic minorities groups •Developed young people's skills and critical thinking to become more active, fit and health conscious Europeans citizens •Made young people advocates of inclusion, tolerance, dialogue and active, healthy living in their locality communities •Provided opportunities for young people with fewer opportunities through outdoor activities-based non-formal education Needs addressed: -Improved skills of youth workers and gained knowledge on how to use outdoor activities as an educational tool -Got a better understanding of non-formal education and its many opportunities for lifelong learning -Developed sustainable and diverse youth network -Generated new project ideas to be applied under Erasmus+ -Met colleagues who were working with youth and exchanged best practices One of the central issues in these challenges was that national education systems simply did not offer training in the skills required for the labor market, leading to thousands of unfilled positions across the continent. ETS aimed to fill this gap by improving soft skills, intercultural competencies, and teamwork of youth from across the EU.
