“From Europe to Asia: capitalizing experience in youth work” is a capacity building project that involves 7 partners (5 EU programme countries and 2 partners countries) and lasts 23 months. It aims at sharing and disseminating best practice of youth work from Europe to the partner countries involved. During the last 20 years, youth organizations in Europe have grown a lot in terms of capacity thanks to European programmes dedicated to youth. We recognize these benefits and we would like to share the gained experience to support the capacity building of our partners from areas where these kind of programmes are not applied or are not applied enough. In this frame our objectives are:- to foster capacity building and innovation in the field of international youth work;- to promote tailored youth policies that recognise the importance of non formal learning and youth mobility for personal and professional development of young;- to encourage of non formal education and youth mobility programmes as tools to support positive development of society based of active citizenship, inclusion and democratic participation…- to provide tools to youngsters of our partner countries to get aware of the role they can play in the society- to make the target groups understand the diversity of organizational cultures and working mentalities within European countries and partner countries encouraging mutual understanding;- to build and/or strength partnerships between youth organizations in EU and partner countries;In addition, EU partners and youth involved will better understand the key role played by European Youth policies and strategies for their development, becoming more aware of the meaning of being part of Europe.To achieve these goals we have set up a series of activities (local, international and online). They include: researches, collection of data and best practices; trainings on different matters fundamental for the management of youth organization and to foster cooperation with public and private sector; short and longer accompanying periods during which trainees practice their learning; periods of job shadowing when trainees/youth workers visit experienced European organizations to observe the practitioners in their daily work and periods of EVS for Asian volunteers in European organizations. All this will be complemented by a series of international meetings to plan, monitor and evaluate the project and its activities.The process of learning will be accompanied by different education tools elaborated during the project such as: an e- learning platform, a digital library for sharing relevant materials, different video tutorials. They will also be important dissemination tools supported by other outputs/product as different campaigns to promote international youth mobility at any level and with different stakeholders.The project foresees a structured plan of follow up activities.
