The project Scroll aims to create a fast track method and curricula to provide young NEET with new digital skills as a way of reintegrating them in education, employment and training. The project is part of a long term effort of the partners to effectively tackle the complex and challenging integration of NEET. Efforts have been made all around Europe in all levels from EU to governmental to NGO initiatives to tackle the challenge and to lower the numbers (percentage) of NEET young people in Europe. The problem seems to be persistent. According to Eurostat data released in 2018 17.2 % of the 20-34 olds in the EU in 2017 were neither in employment nor in education and training ('NEETs'). With that percentage reaching up to 25 -30 % in Greece, Italy, Spain and countries of the Western Balkans. While the percentage of young NEET is very high in the countries we have been working so far, there seems to be a counter trend in the region of South East Europe an unprecedented growth of tech companies is observed looking to hire new talent. The project SCROLL: Digital Media and Marketing for NEET aims to address skills mismatches of young people in Europe and contribute to the reduction of the NEET rate below 10%. Its specific objectives are to: 1. Developing of specific knowledge/ skills needed on labor market of at least 264 unemployed YP in NEET situation from Albania, FYROM, Montenegro and Greece through training’s in NFL, Digital media and Online marketing during 12 months of project implementation.
