Objectives

Tur Cos Ta Posibel initially identified a need within our organisation team and also with local partners, that there are inadequate international opportunities available for young people from Aruba especially those from excluded backgrounds or with fewer opportunities. This need is mirrored in the other overseas regions and territories that are part of this application. The project aimed to bring together 7 organisations from European mainland and 8 organisations from territories and regions of France, Spain and the Netherlands, supporting young people, particularly those experiencing obstacles, such as excluded from or having not completed school, detained youth, young people and young people from low economy groups. All of these organisations previously discussed with TCTP the opportunity of of taking part in an international activity and were very excited about this possibility. All the partners used sport as a methodology for inclusion however the organisations were very different, some working with disability, others with socially excluded youth. We identified the following needs which this project aimed to address: 1) A need to find/create opportunities for international Non-Formal Learning for young people (especially those with fewer opportunities) 2) A need to offer programmes creating opportunities to raise cultural awareness including participants from overseas regions and territories 3) A need to develop methodologies to increase social competence in hard to reach young people 4) A need to raise youth worker competence to be able to equip young people with fewer opportunities with skills needed for future job-search and participation in wider society 5) A need to raise confidence in youth workers to support with the identified target group 6) A need for youth workers to observe good practice in their field outside of their locality Sport although not a need was identified as the chosen red line to run through the activities and be the focus of this training and CMS
