H ΕΛΙΞ, διοργανώνει ένα εκπαιδευτικό πρόγραμμα που θα πραγματοποιηθεί από 1 Ιουνίου έως 7 Ιουνίου και αναζητά εθελοντές. Το πρόγραμμα έχει ως στόχο να εκπαιδεύσει κοινωνικές και εθελοντικές οργανώσεις να αναπτύξουν και να εφαρμόσουν εθελοντικά έργα, που να συμπεριλαμβάνονται νέοι με λιγότερες ευκαιρίες. Μέσα από το εκπαιδευτικό αυτό πρόγραμμα οι συμμετέχοντες θα αυξήσουν ωστόσο τις γνώσεις τους σχετικά με τις βασικές αξίες του Erasmus+, την ευρωπαϊκή ταυτότητα, την ευρωπαϊκή κινητικότητα αφενός, και τις δεξιότητες τους σχετικά με τη διαχείριση των συναισθημάτων, τη μη βίαιη επικοινωνία και τη μεθοδολογία της μη τυπικής εκπαίδευσης αφετέρου.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
International volunteering projects are a strong educational tool for volunteers with a positive impact in the personal development of the participants. An international group of volunteers work together for a short period of time supporting local communities through their work. Besides the work, volunteers will share their time with a diverse group of people enhancing intercultural learning and social skills.
The impact of volunteering is particularly high especially for youth with fewer opportunities, i.e. young people who facing economical, geographical, social, educational, cultural obstacles.
However, many organizations developing volunteering initiatives are not hosting youth with fewer opportunities, being afraid, under the influence of stereotypes regarding this target group, or lacking the resources, cooperation, or means to reach and prepare these youngsters.
This project aims to train social and volunteering organisations to develop and implement volunteering projects including youth with fewer opportunities.
Increasing the knowledge about Erasmus+ key values, European identity, European mobility on one hand, and the skills of the youth workers in group dynamics, management of emotions, non-violent communication, and non-formal education methodology on the other.
At the same time, this training course wants to impulse long-term partnership between Alliance organisations, educational actors, and a larger number of educational volunteering projects, adapted and accessible to youth with fewer opportunities.
AIM AND OBJECTIVES
The main objectives of this TC are:
● To increase the capacities of youth workers to reach, inform and mobilize youth with fewer opportunities about volunteering initiatives,
● To increase the skills of youth workers to implement volunteering activities adapted to the target group,
● To address the challenges and fears of organisations when sending volunteers with fewer opportunities and to demonstrate that it is feasible, efficient and economically sustainable,
● To deconstruct stereotypes about this target group,
● To increase the capacities of youth workers to create partnerships with youth work organisations dedicated to social work, and not yet involved in European volunteering by creating communication tools and methodologies to reach and collaborate on the long term.
The indirect goals of this project are:
● To give the opportunity to youth with fewer opportunities, far away from school, training or work, or facing other obstacles, to retrieve a positive dynamic towards activity or employability.
● To give youth with fewer opportunities the chance to live a new experience, a break from negative habits (total inactivity, addiction, criminality).
● To develop competences valid in the professional world. (Key competences)
● To encourage and maintain a dialog between the youth and the local communities.
● To improve the volunteer’s self-image, to reinforce their capacity to handle their feelings and communicate.
● To achieve positive change in the local communities and their environment.
● To increase participation of youth with fewer opportunities to civil society initiatives, and European mobility.
● To give the opportunity to youth with fewer opportunities to understand cultural differences, to enhance a positive relationship with others, to break stereotypes.
● To increase relationship between European youth and youth work organisations.
