About the Project
the Aim
The overall project’s aim is to increase the capacity of youth organisations and enable the transnational exchange of best practices which goes beyond the European context to serve the interests of young people with fewer opportunity – the rural youth using the activities most familiar to them (i.e. their traditional outdoor games).
Broadly speaking, the project seeks to boost the quality of youth work as a response to youth economic and social integration in a multicultural context by means of coaching activities designed with traditional games in order to help disadvantaged youth discover and reach their full potential, and eventually enter the labor market.
Specific Objectives
* Promote cooperation between youth from Programme and Partner countries for an effective, multifaceted response and final outcomes on youth work, which is often underdeveloped in Africa or South East Asia.
* Promote cooperation between youth from Programme and Partner countries for an effective, multifaceted response and final outcomes on youth work, which is often underdeveloped in Africa or South East Asia.
* Add and build a synergy between culture – coaching – game philosophy, and orientation to labour market for personal coaching and career guidance advice, where a person’s performance could be enahanced by training with games, and could be taken as an indicator for their performance in real life context.
* Increase the attractiveness and international dimension of participating youth organisations with new, interesting toolkit for youth work so that they are able to offer activities and programmes that better respond to the needs of individuals and thus extend their presence and influence among local youth.
* Diffuse the project results and products compiled in the Coaching Manual to other international organisations with an Open Educational Resource platform, as well as their embedded European values and initiatives ( European Solidarity Corps, EVS, among others).
