Objectives

Objective 1 : We are tackling the challenges of stigmatization of mental health and making a safe space for everyone that feels like they need it, even when they don't. This connects us directly to the 5th European youth goal, mental health & wellbeing. Besides that, the specifics of how this project is carried out directly connect us to the digital transformation priority of the Erasmus+ program, while increasing quality, innovation, and recognition of youth work. The desired impact was to put a greater focus on personal development and create an atmosphere and openness for introducing newly created programs for mental health among youth aged 15 to 29 and youth workers experienced in the field of peer-to-peer activities. Objective 2 : With the implementation of our strategic plan, we encourage citizens, especially young people, to have an active role in their development including their personal growth through different kinds of non-formal educational activities. In addition, through the planned activities we promoted social activism as a powerful tool for societal change. Thus, the aim of our strategic plan directly corresponds with the quality of non-formal education priority areas and brings new concepts to formal and non-formal education for personal growth and development. With the proposed activities we advanced our role to competent, transparent, effective civil society actors that are accountable. Objective 3 : Youth Can's 12 years of experience in implementing and supporting initiatives to promote the importance of practicing and recognizing the importance of youth work and all the challenges we have faced have highlighted the need to influence the topic through a comprehensive systematic approach. The methodology of Youth Can`s work is consisted out of 3 main segments: Inspire, Identify, Act! Aiming to inspire young people, we are engaging them in the organization’s activities and while promoting personal and professional development we are guiding them through the process of career guidance. The mentorship process is very important for us since every group or person that is part of our activities has his/her own mentor. Youth can have an established pool of experienced young mentors that are working with our target groups and beneficiaries in every activity. With this objective we wished to address the issue of the quality of youth work and the need for capacity building of youth workers.
