The DMER’s project aims to empower young people by equipping them with essential competences, experiences, and intercultural awareness that will strengthen both their personal growth and their role as active citizens in Europe. From the perspective of youth work practice, the initiative is designed to create a safe, inclusive, and inspiring space where young participants can explore pressing social issues, acquire digital and entrepreneurial skills, and experience first-hand the transformative potential of non-formal education. The first objective is to enhance participants’ competences in line with the 8 Key Competences for Lifelong Learning, with a particular focus on digital literacy, entrepreneurship, intercultural awareness, and personal-social development, also through carefully designed non-formal learning methods (simulations, debates, reflection groups, role plays, and co-creation workshops), allowing young people to develop the ability to critically assess information, to use digital tools for civic and entrepreneurial purposes, and to work collaboratively in multicultural teams. This contributes directly to their employability and capacity to act as multipliers of positive change in their communities. A second objective is to foster social inclusion and provide opportunities for young people with fewer opportunities. By actively involving at least 10 participants facing economic, social, or cultural barriers, the project ensures that youth work practices remain aligned with the core Erasmus+ values of inclusion and equity. Youth workers and group leaders will implement tailored mentoring strategies, peer-to-peer support mechanisms, and flexible learning paths to guarantee that each participant can fully benefit from the activities. This approach strengthens the ability of youth organisations to include disadvantaged groups and enhances the overall quality of youth work in partner communities. A third objective is to strengthen participants’ entrepreneurial competences and their connection with local realities. By linking digital skills with entrepreneurship, the project encourages young people to see themselves not only as consumers of information but as potential creators of innovative ideas, social projects, and start-ups. The planned follow-up activities, particularly the creation of digital portfolios for NGOs and StartUps in local communities, are a concrete application of youth work that combines learning with community engagement. In this way, young people directly support civil society organisations, while reinforcing their own employability and entrepreneurial mindset. A fourth objective is to promote intercultural dialogue and European identity. By bringing together 32 young participants from five countries, the project creates a diverse environment where stereotypes can be challenged, differences respected, and shared values strengthened. Intercultural evenings, mixed reflection groups, and collaborative tasks are designed to increase tolerance, empathy, and openness, which are crucial competences in today’s Europe. From a youth work perspective, this helps to counteract discrimination and nationalism by fostering a sense of belonging to a wider European community. A fifth objective is to contribute to the professionalisation of youth work itself. The project will enable youth workers and leaders from the partner organisations to improve their competences in project management, non-formal education methodologies, digital facilitation, and intercultural mentoring. The direct involvement of six youth workers (one per partner plus the facilitator) ensures that the benefits of the project are transferred into the daily practice of youth organisations, enriching their capacity to design and deliver high-quality initiatives. Finally, the project seeks to create long-term impact by building sustainable networks between participants, youth organisations, and local communities. Through dissemination activities involving schools, universities, NGOs, media, and local authorities, the outcomes of the project will extend well beyond the exchange itself. The aim is to ensure that young people are not only beneficiaries but also active agents of dissemination and change, reinforcing the role of youth work as a bridge between personal development and community transformation. The project reflect a comprehensive youth work approach: to support young people in developing competences, fostering inclusion, strengthening intercultural understanding, and engaging in community-driven initiatives. By combining innovative methods, intercultural learning, and strong follow-up strategies, the project aspires to prepare participants to become active, skilled, and responsible European citizens while at the same time enhancing the professional capacity of youth organisations.
