This project aims to increase NEETs’ Social Inclusion and promote Active Citizenship, by developing key competencies in Youth NEET and train youth workers to address better to NEETs’ needs, namely: the need to break the cycle of isolation/social exclusion; lack of motivation to become an active citizen; lack of self-awareness of their passions/talents and, even, the low self-esteem and lack of key skills that are required to take an initiative and build an action plan to concretize it.
Therefore, the objectives of the project are:
– To create and test an innovative LEARNING PROGRAM for NEET Youth to develop key social and personal competencies that will allow them to become active citizens and increase their social inclusion;
– To motivate NEET Youth to engage and discover their passions/talents;
– To increase NEET Youth’s awareness of some key societal challenges;
– To empower NEET Youth with key-skills to materialize their goals in a creative and organised way;
– To foster the NEET Youth’s Connection to the local/global community through the creation of concrete volunteering action projects to approach societal challenges;
– To promote the exchange of good practices among partners from 5 countries (PT, CY, RO, UK and SE), strengthening cross-cooperation and a multidisciplinary approach;
– To invest in the capacity building of youth workers competences promoting high-quality work and innovative methods of reaching out to NEET Youth;
– To contribute to the sense of belonging, as European Citizens and motivate participants to learn more about the EU, creating a European Network;
