The consortium of the project 'Youth TOOLS Residencies' aims to contribute to increasing the quality of youth work by providing youth workers working with different groups of young people an opportunity to increase the competencies necessary for designing quality tools, or adjusting already tools to the specific needs of their target groups. Moreover, the project 'Youth TOOLS Residencies' aims to increase understanding of the youth workers and participating organisations of the needs and interests of the Generation Alpha that is becoming more and more involved in the activities delivered by participating organisations. The objectives of the project ‘Youth TOOLS Residencies’: -to raise the competencies of youth workers to design, test and/or adjust existing tools addressing the needs and interests of Generations Z and Alpha, with a special focus on young people facing challenges and obstacles and lacking access to quality youth activities; -to increase the ability of youth workers to gain a better understanding of the needs, interests and realities of the young people in their communities, necessary to choose adequate tools supporting their personal and professional growth; -to equip youth workers with tools enabling them to conduct research activities and gain a better understanding of the behavioural patterns of Gen A and Z, their values and attitudes; -to map existing tools in the areas of interest of participating organisations and share the results of the mapping through the project and organisations's platforms and channels; -to evaluate the current tools of the participating organisations to update them on the societal and community changes such as raising the use of AI, increasing anxiety among young people and worsening their mental health; -to equip youth workers with new tools and practices tailored for engaging and empowering Generation Z and Generation Alpha, enabling them to encourage young people to ‘act and change’ while fostering their active involvement in societal improvement; -to learn from youth practices in participating countries that address the needs of Generation Z and Generation Alpha holistically, considering their mental health, digital habits, and unique cultural contexts, youth challenges; -to share updated/created tools with a wider audience of youth actors through local and international dissemination activities in the form of online webinars and local workshops.
