With this mobility project, our aim was to contribute to the strengthening of youth work across Europe, with a specific focus on exploring youth work in Albania. We formed an international partnership with participating organizations from Albania, Austria, Bulgaria, Kosovo, Moldova (Rep. of), and Romania, with the goal of working together to better respond to the multiple and global challenges faced by young people. Our project aimed to help youth workers working with vulnerable young people feel better equipped to support them in navigating their transition into adulthood and into an independent future. After the study visit, our participants were expected to be strengthened in their approach to empower young people with fewer opportunities, who may face social, geographical, or economic obstacles, health problems, ethnic discrimination, or educational challenges. Together, the participants wanted to meet and explore the facets of youth work in Albania, discuss good practices, investigate similar challenges across the region, and share experiences. Overall, we aimed to promote further professional development and exchange good practices for youth empowerment amongst youth workers in Europe and work towards a systematic approach to develop partnerships in this region for future collaborations and exchanges. Ideally, the mobility exchange would also be a possibility to explore larger and more strategic partnerships across organizations, e.g. the submission for a Cooperation Partnership within Erasmus+ KA2 projects. Youth workers face multiple challenges in the countries participating, such as high youth unemployment, youth poverty, lack of prospects for youth, and risk of outmigration. Exclusion and marginalization of young people with fewer opportunities (Roma, migrants, children left behind, care leavers, NEETs, affected by poverty and other barriers), few opportunities for socially excluded and marginalised young people to participate in democratic processes and to be actively involved in society, especially for youth with Roma background, lack of appropriate tools and staff skills to prepare young people for an independent future, lack of adequate methods for youth workers in dealing with young people with challenging behaviour, and low recognition of youth work and non-formal education. Our project had several objectives, all aimed at advancing youth work in Europe and empowering young people. Our primary goal was to enhance the capacity of youth workers by providing them with the necessary skills and knowledge to address the complex and evolving challenges that young people face. We achieved this by offering training and resources to help youth workers support vulnerable youth effectively. Another objective was to share best practices through international partnerships with organizations from diverse countries. We aimed to create a platform for the exchange of successful youth work practices, fostering a rich cross-cultural learning experience. This allowed participants to gain insights into different approaches to youth work and adopt these practices in their own organizations. Collaboration was also a key objective of our project. We sought to establish strong and lasting partnerships among organizations from various countries, not only to benefit the project but also to create a foundation for future collaborations in the field of youth work. Empowering young people was at the heart of our project. We aimed to provide youth workers with tools and strategies to actively engage young individuals in decision-making processes and civic participation. This objective was designed to instil a sense of agency and responsibility among the youth. We recognised the shared challenges that young people across participating countries faced, including youth unemployment, social exclusion, and a lack of prospects. Our project aimed to identify standard solutions and strategies to tackle these issues effectively. To improve the quality of youth services, we intended to identify concrete ideas and best practices during the study visit. We wanted to ensure that youth workers had access to innovative approaches that could be integrated into their programs, ultimately leading to more effective and tailored services for young people. We placed a strong emphasis on marginalized youth, including care leavers, Roma, refugees, and migrants. Our objective was to develop and share efficient methods for working with these marginalized groups, addressing their unique challenges and ensuring their full inclusion in society.
