The project is not a simple continuation, but a strategic evolution of an ambitious educational path, designed to respond to a European reality marked by volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity. If the first phase of the project, to be carried out in July 2026, had the role of laying the foundations (“Basecamp”) and creating group cohesion, this second mobility in November 2026 aims to professionalize leadership and crisis intervention skills. Our fundamental reasoning starts from the observation that young Europeans today are faced with unprecedented challenges – from the climate crisis and post-pandemic social anxiety, to aggressive digital disinformation – and often feel unequipped to react constructively. Therefore, “Peaks of Youth II” makes the transition from awareness to action competence. From a youth work perspective, the project innovates through its hybrid consortium structure, which combines institutional memory with niche technical expertise. We have kept the partners from Bulgaria (SFK Rakovski) and Poland (Gmina Rudziniec) to ensure pedagogical continuity, but we have integrated new partners, strictly specialized on the identified needs: NAK (Turkey) brings vital expertise in disaster management and rescue, transforming mobility into a resilience laboratory; NECI (Albania) contributes with advanced digital skills for advocacy; and Kinetics Hub (Serbia) provides wellbeing and mental health tools. The specific objectives of the project are: O1. Development of “Crisis Leadership” and Resilience Competencies (Situational Leadership): This is the central pillar of the project. We aim to increase the capacity of 42 young people and youth workers to make ethical, rapid and coordinated decisions in high-pressure situations. In an unstable global context, the community leader must be a pillar of stability. Through immersive methods such as the “Crisis Room” simulation, facilitated by Turkish experts, young people will learn reaction protocols, group panic management and coordination of limited resources. The objective is for 100% of participants to be able to develop a simple crisis response plan (Risk Management Plan) applicable in their local organizations, moving from the role of passive victim to that of proactive leader. O2. Strengthening “Digital Advocacy” for Social Impact: Our vision is to transform young people from passive consumers of technology into “Truth Curators” and creators of civic campaigns. In an era of fake news, digital literacy means more than using a smartphone; it means ethics and strategy. The objective aims to empower participants to use digital tools (video editing, storytelling, SEO) to document and disseminate messages of inclusion and sustainability. The concrete result will be the co-creation of the “Digital Handbook on Youth Leadership”, an open educational resource (OER) that will aggregate the methods tested in the project. We aim to reach an audience of 2000 people, demonstrating that the voice of young people can shape the public agenda. O3. Promoting Radical Inclusion and Diversity (Inclusive Mindset): The project is conceived as a safe space where social, economic and geographical barriers are intentionally removed. We focus on the active integration of 14 young people with fewer opportunities (representing 33% of the total group), who come from disadvantaged backgrounds: isolated villages in Poland, rural communities in the mountains of Albania, young NEETs in North Macedonia or volunteers in seismic areas in Turkey. Through the “Inclusion Buddy” mentoring system facilitated by senior participants (alumni), the objective is to validate the potential of these young people, demonstrating to them that leadership does not depend on socio-economic status. We want to reduce social anxiety and increase the sense of European belonging for those who rarely have access to international mobility. O4. Strengthening Sustainable Behaviors (Green Leadership): Responding to the priority of the European Green Deal, we aim to train a generation of “Green Captains” – young people capable of organizing events and projects with reduced environmental impact. The objective is not only theoretical, but practical and immediate: implementing “Green Travel” standards (using land transport for most participants), a “Zero Waste” policy at meals and eliminating single-use plastic during mobility. Young people will learn to calculate the carbon footprint of an activity and propose compensation measures, becoming credible models of ecological behavior in their communities of origin. Through these objectives, the project directly responds to the priorities of the EU Youth Strategy 2019-2027 (“Connecting, Engaging, Empowering”), offering a learning experience that is relevant.
