On the IC Geoss d.o.o. we performe higher education. All of our students are adult learners, for who we provide part-time studies. Our students combine their study responsabilities with their families and other commitments, so there is no great interest for the mobility and studying abroad. Due to the specifics of our participants, we have a different, more individual approach in selecting candidates for mobility. Already at the very start of their studies we present to participants the opportunities for mobility in the framework of the E + acquainted them with contact person in the IC Geoss where they can get any additional information. The participants who demonstrate an interest in mobility, even before the deadline for submission of the application form, agree on the nature and duration of mobility which they want to perform on the basis of an agreement with the participants rent application form. In the school year 2015/16 we had one canidate who and we carried out one mobility.The student who took part in the mobility has signed Learning agreement and the grant agreement and a grant in the amount of € 1,350.00 was deposited into her bank account. Participant traveled to the quarterly undergoing practical training in the institution Tic Tac Talk English Centre in Spain. The study practice has started on the date 25.06.2016.Student was called for a personal interview and it was presented with the possibility of obtaining Appendix E + for students with less opportunities. Participant confirmed that the supplement in her case is justified and she delivered all documents. Before mobility was taken a participant assigned the license for the examination of stringing from English, which is made by assessing C1. Since it is an exchange in Spain, we then jointly decided to carry out further course of Spanish language.Since there was only one participant in the mobility project, all communication, entertainment and information should be held on the Telephone and by an electronic mail. The participant agreed that we have to stay in touch during the mobility and to conact us if any issues are held and needed to be solved. Student did not report any of the issues during the mobility till the date 19th of September 2016 when we received the e-mail from the student in which she was informing us that she prematurely closed Erasmus practice in Spain. As following it was stated that the main reason for the termination of practice has been that the summer camps, where she took the practice, was veryloosely organized, without a clear vision and division of labor. Furtherly in the e-mail was claimed that student has a lot of experience with this kind of work and practice and she did not see neither personal nor professional progress. Together with the host organization they agreed to stop mobility.

"<< Objectives >>The international youth exchange (IYE) ""Learning between worlds"" is firmly integrated into the network ""Wiesbaden worldwide"". Since 2014, we have been regularly conducting IYBs with participants of the Vocational Preparatory Education Measures (BVB). During the return encounter, which is to take place within the framework of ""Learning between Worlds"", 12 participants each from Germany and Slovenia shall meet. The five-day outward and return meetings were planned in Mainz/Wiesbaden and Ljubljana. This project was meant to introduce educationally disadvantaged young people to international exchange. The project aimed at initially introducing the participants to the European area. The IJB should enable them to get to know a foreign culture and to find their way in it. Since the encounter should haven taken place within the framework of a vocational preparation program and our partner in Slovenia also implements activities for vocational integration, a further focus was on the exploration of different training and work models as well as the discovery of professions, so that the young people can expand their personal vocational orientation across national borders. The experiences with peers in another country should enable the young people to situate their own culture, social and professional situation and to gain possibilities for shaping their own professional future. In addition to personality-building aspects, the participants' social and international competencies were meant to be strengthened. The encounters were intended to promote an understanding of cultural diversity, strengthen the building of tolerance and a sense of solidarity and understanding between young people in similar life situations across national borders.<< Implementation >>Due to the Corona pandemic, only one of the planned activities could take place. In February 2020, the Slovenian partner (two persons) visited BWHW in Wiesbaden. This activity was necessary, because it was the first IYE organized jointly by the two partners. Two teamer from the Slovenian team came to Wiesbaden to get acquainted with our institution, the accommodation, the training rooms and the whole team on site. This enabled the Slovenian pedagogical statt itself as well as the Slovenian participants to better prepare for the visit in Germany, to answer questions and to prevent uncertainties. In addition, it was also important to align the expectations of both partners and to establish firm agreements. All other activities could not be implemented as conceived and planned, due to the pandemic situation i.e. Force Majeure. That's why we haven't uploaded the timetable, since the activities didn't take place.<< Results >>Project activities could not be carried out as designed and planned due to force majeure."

"<< Background >>A project on emotional intelligence, aimed at strengthening the use of socio-relational skills of youth workers in public and private organizations. In the European context, many projects are currently aimed at socio-emotional education, especially in the school environment, as a shared awareness that it is an important element of subjective well-being.The benefits of using a relational approach are well known, thanks to multiple scientific researches in the context of school teaching, but for some time a lot of attention has also been paid to complex Organizations and Institutions and the workplace.As a particular choose this project is destined to the ones working with young, disadvantaged, vulnerable, unoccupied and with socio-emotional needs young people. Those youth workers, in the ONG or not for profit Associations, will learn and acquire emotional skills as tools to cope with their targets. It addresses to 1) youth workers from private organizations engaged in working with young to make counseling and career counseling, to help them to become resilient, so to plan their future, face their work or personal problems, find solutions for their difficult choices in the long run. 2) young people, vulnerable, unemployed, neet or low skilled wanting to improve their skills starting from emotional attitude to cope with their situation.The main intellectual outputs will allow the development of operational tools, available on a large scale and usable on a number of levels, both by a large audience of youth workers and by a sample of young people as well. The model, through a comparative research, and the creation of suitable tools will find inspiration for validation and diffusion in the European panorama, with the aim of spreading the concrete practice of socio-emotional practice and to disseminate it among youth workers and young people too.Actions foreseen:- comparative research on the condition of use and knowledge in the ONGs of Emotional Intelligence in the European Context of the partners represented- creation of a preliminary investigation tool (balance of skills) with initial, ongoing and final self-assessment value- creation of tools for youth workers to acquire and use the emotional Intelligence and the basic emotional skills (resilience, empathy, self-efficacy, self-esteem, communication…)- creation of learning paths to be destined to young people in disadvantage conditions (unemployment, social disease…)- events of dissemination, promotion and comparison studies<< Objectives >>Our project intends to improve the skills of youth workers to become activators and facilitators of youth resilience, emotional intelligence and social-relational competences, with particular regard to young people at risk of social exclusion and discomfort. It is the shared opinion of this partnership that, although current literature and contemporary society often agree on the representation of youth discomfort, very little is then supported in terms of concrete actions to combat this discomfort, starting from the construction of those tools that young people need to cope with everyday life and planning for the future.For this reason, focusing on Emotional Intelligence and Resilience as a specific feature is a choice dictated by the context analysis of the four partner countries, which confirms that our young people (18-30) in conditions of hardship (work, training, personal situation) often lack the basic life skills needed to face life's challenges and situations of stress, difficulty and emergency, starting with an adequate emotional endowment. This need has been amplified by the health emergency that everyone has experienced. The project wants to test the theory and method on young people starting from the self-assessment dimension and the training tools to create skills that are professional and expendable in the professional practice of youth workers, but that are also diffused among the youth population, as a basis for building critical and active consciences. The aim of our project is to develop an intervention model to increase youth resilience through programmes based on emotional intelligence training. Other objectives to be achieved are - To improve the professional skills in the socio-emotional and relational field of the YWs of the associations of the partner countries - To influence the training programs of youth workers and the programming and intervention schemes in favour of youth, intervening however in the field of social policies through the dissemination of good practices and the comparison of different approaches, based on emotional intelligence - To create a shared European system, a model of application and testing of socio-emotional skills in the youth field.<< Implementation >>The whole project is focused on the training of competences and soft skills in the social-emotional field. Therefore, the main objectives are related to the improvement of the condition of youth workers and young people, in terms of providing them with emotional and life skills to face moments of difficulty, emergency and discomfort. The actions foreseen are all focused on the better success of the main objective, i.e. to foster not only the knowledge, but above all the application of emotional intelligence.The activities are aimed at increasing the supply of knowledge, information and above all practical skills (emotional life skills) that can ""assist"" youth workers in their work with young people.listening, empathy, understanding. This action is substantiated in the work foreseen in the second intellectual work (result 2), which will then be completed and verified through a path of experimentation of the model for YW (result 3) and short training (C1) where youth workers will be able to confront and experiment themselves in a learning process based on orientation and life coaching (C1) and propose new counselling models, intervention projects based on our model. It is therefore expected that youth workers will participate in the project through three main project outcomes and two specific training activities.<< Results >>Lyber results that will be reached through the implementation of the activities are:1 mobility training event for young people 1 short term joint staff training event, aimed at training the staff of the partnership in the use of the tools designed, and at enhancing their skills as trainers(professional) trainers 1 computer tool/platform to carry out the social-emotional skills assessment The publication of guidelines regarding the use of the social-emotional skills assessment tool. 1 literary review, conducted at the level of the European partner countries, regarding the tools used for the assessment of social-emotional competences with young people 1 analytical report on the experiences of using emotional intelligence in youth work with particular reference to the figure of the Youth worker (a ""job description"" of emotions) 1 survey report on the state of self-perception of youth resilience 1 integrated training course (theoretical and practical) with modules, video lessons, video simulations, and tool kit. This is a training model and methodological material (result n°2) used by youth workers, with a basic level that can be used on a large scale by young people 1 testing/validation of the training model in all the countries involved 1 organisational analysis guidelines concerning affective competences 1 ""long list"" Creation of an informal network of private bodies of the Third Sector, or of other subjects also public (e.g. Municipalities) that adhere to and test our training model in their respective contexts) 1 project website."
