The project “BRIDGE – Building Inclusive Practices and Supporting Professional Development of Youth Workers across Europe” has an ambition is to strengthen the quality, inclusiveness, and professional consistency of youth work practice within the participating organisations by supporting the structured professional development of youth workers and embedding inclusive approaches into organisational practice. The project will involve youth workers from the Netherlands, Luxemburg, Spain, Armenia, Georgia and Bosnia & Herzegovina, representing diverse youth work contexts and organisational realities across Europe and neighbouring regions. From the perspective of youth work practice, the project is designed not only as a learning experience for individuals, but as a quality improvement mechanism for youth work organisations and local youth work ecosystems. One primary objective is to strengthen youth workers’ professional competences in inclusive youth work practice. The project aims to equip youth workers with concrete, applicable methods and tools that can be directly used in their daily work with young people facing exclusion, discrimination, or limited access to participation. By the end of the project, at least 80% of participants will be able to apply a minimum of three inclusive non-formal education methods tested during the project, adapt them to their local context, and reflect on their learning and professional growth using Youthpass-based documentation. This ensures that learning outcomes are measurable and directly linked to practice. A second objective is to translate individual learning into organisational development. BRIDGE explicitly aims to strengthen the quality of youth work at organisational level by supporting partner organisations to integrate inclusive practices into their regular programmes, internal guidelines, or mentoring structures. Each participating organisation will implement at least one concrete organisational improvement, such as the integration of inclusive methodologies into ongoing activities, the revision of participation or safeguarding standards, or the strengthening of peer learning and reflection among youth workers. This approach contributes to the professionalisation and sustainability of youth work beyond the project duration. Another key objective is to strengthen youth workers’ role as multipliers within their organisations and local communities. Participants are expected to actively transfer learning outcomes to colleagues and local youth work environments through follow-up activities such as internal trainings, workshops, or peer-learning sessions. By doing so, the project ensures that its impact extends beyond the directly involved participants and contributes to broader improvements in youth work quality. BRIDGE also aims to foster intercultural learning and cross-border professional cooperation among youth workers. By bringing together practitioners from the Netherlands, Luxemburg, Spain, Armenia, Georgia and Bosnia & Herzegovina, the project creates a space for critical reflection on different youth work realities and systems. This international exchange supports youth workers in questioning their own practices, learning from diverse approaches, and developing long-term professional cooperation that enhances innovation and quality in youth work. Overall, BRIDGE intends to demonstrate the added value of youth work in promoting inclusion, participation, and social cohesion and contribute to greater recognition of youth workers’ competences and their legitimacy when engaging with stakeholders such as municipalities, schools, and national institutions. In summary, BRIDGE pursues the following key objectives: A) To equip participating youth workers with concrete, non-formal education methods and tools that enable them to design, facilitate, and evaluate inclusive youth work activities for young people facing discrimination or fewer opportunities. B) To enable participating youth workers to apply a minimum of three inclusive methodologies tested during the project within their regular youth work activities at local level. C) To support each partner organisation in implementing organisational improvements, such as integrating inclusive methodologies into ongoing programmes, internal guidelines, or mentoring and reflection structures. D) To enable participants to transfer learning outcomes to colleagues and local youth work environments through structured follow-up activities such as internal trainings, workshops, or peer-learning sessions. E) To create structured opportunities for youth workers from different national contexts to exchange practices, critically reflect on diverse youth work systems, and develop sustainable professional cooperation.
