Objectives

The main objective of the project was to equip youth workers with advanced competencies to foster community engagement and social inclusion among young people, particularly those with fewer opportunities. This project aimed to create an opportunity and safe place where youth workers from different countries could share knowledge, exchange best practices, and develop new methodologies in youth work that promote social inclusion, especially using digital technologies. By implementing this project, we intend to empower youth workers with the necessary skills to support the development of young individuals in marginalized communities. Specifically, within this project we pursued the following goals: • Development of the competences of youth workers in institutions and organizations in online cooperative teaching • Facilitation of more peer interaction and peer learning by recognizing and using digital communication methods more effectively in informal and non-formal education environments. • Improving the total quality and standards of young people's lifelong learning with teaching approaches, methods and techniques that support social gains in online learning activities in Distance Education. • Developing of solutions for youth workers and young people's social attainment factors through different online learning activities. • Participation and interaction of youth workers in online cooperative learning environments, and implementation of tasks such as analysis, evaluation, and inference, which are high-level thinking skills. Overally, we sought to ensure that we acquired skills from one another, which will contribute to the vital skills of young people and their development, within the context of our youth work as youth organisations.
