1. EYRO created an inclusive, collaborative EU peer-to-peer (P2P) ‘youth remote orchestra’ for young people at risk of social exclusion, offering mentoring and coaching in playing music together across Europe. 2. In order to achieve this, EYRO also offered music teachers a training programme to allow them to work effectively with specific competences relating to working with vulnerable young people (i.e. emotional intelligence-based competences) and with the selected technology (digital competences). 3. Finally, the project developed a Guideline to offer EU institutions and organisationsacross the EU working with vulnerable youth an innovative approach for their engagement and social inclusion, as well as a tool to foster a sense of belonging to the EU. This project result represents a fundamental sustainability and transferability strategy. It has been disseminated widely through the project website, partners' networks at national and EU level, social media, and through multiplier events in each country.
EYRO addresses critical EU-wide issues relating to youth, particularly worsened by the Covid-19 pandemic: social exclusion. isolation of vulnerable youth, lack of opportunities and lack of civic engagement. Covid-19 has had a massive negative impact on all youth, and particularly on youth who were already at risk of social exclusion (NEET, youth wit migratory backgrounds, youth with any addictions etc...) in isolating them further from social contexts and has created anew generation of socially isolated youth, who have a need to re-acquire fundamental social and life skills.
