Objectives

The idea of this project started from the results of a SWOT analyses carried out in September 2021-January 2022 focusing on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the young people that volunteer in the partner organisation and which revealed that these young people are very skilled in the digital field being able to use a number of tools and produce innovative results (as regards social media, websites, STEM, STEAM, computer games, programming, even robotics and many more), but they tend to lose interest in their national customs and traditions and even their origins which could even lead to a loss of identity. We, the partner organisations, do not want that such a situation will ever happen as we consider that both digitalization/technological advances and traditions (jobs, cuisine, customs) are highly important for the personal and even professional development of our youth and this is how we came with the idea of the project "Old jobs, New times". The objectives of our project were: 1. To raise awareness among a number of 20 young people about the importance of keeping alive the old traditional jobs in order to be able to understand who we were, who we are today and preserve the country's national identity and heritage. 2. To develop digital skills of the 20 young people involved in order to increase their employability chances and prepare them for the today's world 3. To develop entrepreneurial skills and stimulate creativity of the young people involved by updating and/or promoting old traditional jobs with the help of technology 4. To promote cooperation between 20 young people coming from different cultures, social and economic backgrounds, including 8 young people coming from vulnerable groups (ROMA, young people living in the rural areas, young people with educational and economical difficulties)
