-Develop an educational program for YWs: This program is designed to equip YWs with relevant competencies and skills that align with the changing status quo, including education, training, and digital skills. The idea is to prepare them for the evolving landscape of youth work. -Innovate practical learning methods: We aimed to develop a more professional and innovative approach to practical learning, tightly linked to active participation in youth work. This involves creating methods that are engaging, practical, and applicable in real-world scenarios. -Promote global access to free education: to foster a mindset that emphasizes the importance of global access to free education. This includes highlighting opportunities and ways for YWs and youth to develop further. -Establish a Global Online Network among Youth Workers: The creation of a global online network for YWs is essential. This network facilitates learning from each other, sharing experiences, and collaborating on a global scale. Achieving objectives is expected to significantly improve the field of youth work. It's not just about responding to future lockdowns or emergencies, but also about providing YWs with skills and support that are relevant in on/offfline contexts.
The decision to apply for the MORE project under Erasmus+ KA2 was driven by the pressing challenges faced by youth centers and workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. With activities halted and collaboration limited, youth organizations urgently needed innovative solutions to continue their essential work. The project was conceived as a response to these needs, aiming to equip youth workers with tools and resources to effectively engage with young people and communities, even amidst global disruptions.The call for new approaches was echoed by youth center directors, highlighting a readiness to embrace any initiative directly benefiting their operations. The project's collaborative nature, involving four NGOs across Europe – Association Active Youth (Lithuania), Europejskie Centrum Mlodziezy (Poland), Predict CSD Consulting (Romania), and Brodoto (Croatia) – exemplifies a commitment to transcending geographical barriers for the greater good of youth empowerment. By focusing on the development of key competencies and providing educational resources, MORE aims to ensure that youth workers are not just surviving these challenging times but thriving in their roles, thereby securing a resilient and educated future for the youth they serve
