The goal achieved by project is the increade level of support of youth workers and youth organizations in delivering meaningful global learning across the EU. Thanks to creating innovate educational tool - e-learning platfom and educational materials - the possibilities of target group to deliver high quality of education has increased. We utilized the combined knowledge of three participating organizations FPD, ADK and IDEA to teach about four pivotal topic areas of the project, captured in the form of teaching based on debating methodology. We supported the youth workers and learning of people who were direct participants of the project and also the people reached within our network.

The main goal which is achieved is creating a digital educational space, which provides the high quality educational materials for the youth workers, members of youth clubs and other participants involved in the activities conducted by our organizations.

Background

We applied for this project to support youth workers and youth organizations in facilitating learning and informed discussion about complex global issues, thereby inspiring active citizenship. Young people which advocate for crucial issues like sustainability and human rights often face barriers from fake news and echo chambers. They need high quality of education on those topics provided by youth workers. We applied for this project to create high quality educational materials - e-learning platform and educational materials which give knowledge on those four pivotal topics, which are in the area of interest of young people. Because all of these topics fall under the umbrella of global learning, we created this educational tool and pursued other project activities which were aimed to promote this concept among youth workers and give them possibility to increase their knowledge and gain skills crucial for teaching about them. Through this project, the organizations in this partnership have increased the quality of their programs and the support they offer to youth workers, attracting and retaining more youth workers. As a result, youth workers have received enhanced training and tools tailored to their specific needs.
