Our project “Goals Keeper” aims to empower young people by fostering skills, knowledge, and intercultural understanding, through the implementation of a Youth Exchange long-term strategy. Its goal is to address young people’s needs from the local to national and European levels and to contribute to the overall objectives of the European Youth Strategy, the European Youth Goals, and Erasmus+. By implementing this project, our overarching goal is to achieve a multifaceted set of objectives that align with the principles of peer-to-peer education and non-formal education methodologies. The project aligns with our six main areas of intervention as well, namely Health Promotion and Education, Intervention for Social Inclusion, Education for Development and International Cooperation, Employability, Entrepreneurship and Active Citizenship, Environmental Education, and Humanitarian Action. In specific, this project has the following four main objectives: Ensuring long-term youth plan and impact: Through this accreditation, we created a robust and cohesive seven-year youth exchange plan for young people. This strategy is in direct accordance with the EU Youth Strategy and allows us to improve and expand our intervention on fundamental issues such as Human Rights and ensures the continued development of youth with fewer opportunities. Through high-quality activities, it is designed to facilitate young growth and improvement. Alignment with EU Youth Strategy: As the name alludes to, the “Goals Keeper” project is intricately linked to the EU Youth Strategy (2019-2027) and the European Youth Goals (2021-2027). Our activities focus on each of the European Youth Goals and aim to empower, engage and connect the young participants. We wish to develop young people’s skills, abilities and knowledge within this European scope, boosting EU’s priority areas and promoting active citizenship, intercultural understanding, and personal development. Social Innovation and Creativity: Our project is committed to tackling new youth challenges, especially of vulnerable young people, through social innovation and creativity. As part of this long-term plan, we aim to increase our impact by fostering an environment of continuous improvement and adaptability. This goal relates to the creation of a network of European youth organisations focused on collective growth and sustainable development. Increasing the visibility and recognition of the European Youth Strategy, Youth Goals, and Erasmus+: Our activities are aligned with these frameworks, promoting them across the broader European network of young people, youth workers and youth organisations. We want to encourage young people to engage in their communities by raising awareness of European values, enhancing their communication, leadership, and resilience skills. By showcasing the success of our initiatives, we aim to inspire others to adopt similar approaches and contribute to the wider goals of the Erasmus+ programme. These combined objectives allowed us to create a strong, cohesive seven-year plan, with the ultimate goal to engage, connect, and empower young people by preparing them and effectively support and inspire future generations across Europe. These objectives collectively underscored our commitment to making a meaningful and lasting impact on the youth we work with and for, and on the broader European youth development landscape.
