    "Our project ""Anytime Anywhere Sport"" is realized between the dates 25.05.2016-01.06.2016. The project realized with the groups from Turkey, Lithuania and Italy in total with 23 young people. The aim of the activities are to do it in a frame of aim and objectives.In our era, even though through science and technology increases the avarage living age, according to World Health Association 1,9million people dies because of stillness (not enough movement). For that reason, the union has made a call to member countries to importance of this matter, and suggested that the for adults 30minutes and for children 60minutes activity is needed at least. And the best way is to have this habit from the childhood. When we look at our country we can see that sports culture is not existing, and it's not in most people's daily lifes. We tried reaching the World Health Union's suggestion by creating awareness, working on this subject, and reach as many people as possible with the power of sports in our country starting from Antakya. Our aim was to convey sports to every level from different social, economic, cultural, and age level and to create a culture of sports in our lifes to have healthy generations and community in the future."

    "<< Objectives >>We are happy with the success of this project, especially in the current difficult context of COVID-19. This project allowed the development of the skills of youth workers from 8 youth organizations and public institutions.The identification needs in this project came from simple things, things we encountered in our everyday life:• Fractures• Stroke• Earthquakes• How do I use the first aid kit?• Context of COVID-19Mobility accidentsThe project was written after identifying the tree of needs - youth workers/young people from the organization and community - after which I made a draft of activities together with the Coordinators and the members of the writing team. Concretely, the needs on which we assumed our activities, and these were solved after the implementation of the project1 the needs of youth workers/young people:- They trust their own forces to intervene in case of emergency- I know how to give basic first aid measures in case of burns, ACV- I know how to use the first aid kit- I know how to perform cardiac massage in case of emergency - (I even had a case where Marco saved a person's life by performing cardiac massage, related story on the Facebook group2 Partners' needs:- They had very few youth workers who knew how to provide first aid measures- The need for basic instructions in providing first aid measures- The reduced operational capacity of the organizations, especially since there were organizations that did not have workers to prepare leaders or other young people for mobility3 The needs of the local community- Young people from the community and volunteers had a low level of knowledge regarding first aid measures- Small number of young people from local communities who knew how to provide first aid measuresObjectives were achieved, as follows:1 At the end of the project, the 26 youth workers know how to provide first aid measures and remained within the NGOs as active members. This Ob was achieved through workshops with young people, simulations and Heimlich relief measures.2 At the end of the project, the 50 young people know how to react in an emergency or provide first aid. These skills were acquired through activities such as: theater, simulations, practical workshops, world cafes, meetings with stakeholders.3. The involvement in the project of the 24 young people with limited opportunities - economic, social and geographical problems during the project, helped them to integrate socially and they gained in themselves. This will happen through their involvement in writing mobility, active involvement in the exchange of young people - facilitation, method of ed. Nonf (Team-work, Albatros, Debate,) and the support provided by the mentors from the organizations.4. The organizational development of the 8 partners, taking into account the cross-sectoral character that helped young people, youth workers, partners and local communities in the sense of preparing for emergency situations during the implementation of the project through the development of the 2 mobilities and the Stage of Dissemination.I monitored and evaluated the activities of the project throughout its implementation. The partners helped us to evaluate initially and after mobilities the competences acquired by the young participants. We were happy to note that most young people and youth workers remained close to the organizations and brought other members into them. After the evaluation, we consider that the assumed objectives were achieved in proportion to 100%.<< Implementation >>In the Writing Stage of the project, the partners considered 2 youth workers and 3 young people each, who involved them both in writing the project and in coordinating some logistical aspects. Of course, they followed the ""needs tree"" that was made by the writing team.The profile of the youth workers was:- Over 18 years and no age limit- Active workers in youth organizations- Connoisseurs of non-formal education methods- Motivated to learn to give first aid and to do exploitation workshops in organizations (I had the Letter of Motivation)- Knowledge of the English language, at least basic levelProfile of young people- Between the ages of 18 and 30- Young people who are motivated to learn first aid measures- Which no longer have participants in E+ projects- Who need to learn through non-formal education methods- Knowledge of the Romanian language* we had a total of 24 young people with limited opportunities. The needs identified for them were:- social: they came from single-parent families or families with several children- economic: they lived on social benefits and the Guaranteed Minimum Income, they were young NEETs- geographical: they came from isolated regions, from sub-urban areasOther common aspects for young people and youth workers:- who do not know first aid measures- who do not know how to provide first aid measures- who have low knowledge of how to use the first aid kit- who do not know what to do in crisis situations- who want to get involved in organizational development- who are motivated to get involved in the DEOR Stage in workshops for exploiting the results as well as in supporting volunteers/young peopleThe participants filled out an Application Form in which they specified information related to: personal data, contact data, information in case of emergency, etc.The profile of the trainer and the facilitator was important in the development of the project, the main selection criteria being:- Over 18 years- To know how to offer first aid measures and what to do in case of emergency - he had the experience of at least 2-3 coordinated projects on this topic- To know English at an advanced level- To know how to teach non-formal education methods- To have conflict management skills- Know how to coordinate debriefing activities and reflection sessions with workers- Empathetic toward youth workers- Good coordinator and pedagogueIn this project, the trainer and the facilitator combined non-formal education methods with concrete measures to help a victim in an emergency. They taught the participants how to do cardiac massage and how to use the first aid kit. The participants learned what are the steps to evaluate a victim and how to contact the emergency services if needed. The topics covered were: Burns, asphyxiation, sprains, fractures, frostbite. In addition to the facilitators, ASMV volunteers, Inspector PCV and Georgiana Caita (plastic surgery doctor) were also present for support and help.An important role in the acquisition of key competencies was played by the debriefings, the reflection sessions, the initial, intermediate and final evaluation of the participants (youth workers and young people). They were informed from the Preparation Stage for obtaining the YouthPass Certificate, but also on the first day of activities where we had a special session dedicated to the E+ program, YouthPass and the 8 key competencies. CPDIS issued the certificates in the YouthPass platform and gave them to the participants after they completed their key competencies. In addition to them, the ""Notebook"" of the workers helped them to understand what the ""ASK"" competencies acquired after the implementation of the 2 mobilities really were.The results were in accordance with the activities carried out:- the participants know how to use the first aid kit after the project- participants know what measures to take in case of an accident- How non-formal education methods are used in education (especially for youth workers) and what is their purposeThe team of specialists of the organizations as well as the trainer supported the youth workers in the DEOR Stage by getting involved in the dissemination activities. At this moment, many workers and young people remained active in the organizations. They help young people, volunteers and leaders to learn first aid measures. The partner organizations contributed to the monitoring of the dissemination made by youth workers and young people<< Results >>The impact of the project was, in particular, in 3 directions:1 The impact on youth workers (26) and young people (50):- I know how to act if they have to provide first aid measures- I know what to do in case of a CPR and what is the protocol to follow, including how to do cardiac massage- They acquired new key competencies- I know how to proceed in case of minor accidents such as: burns, sprains, dislocations, etc- I know how to use the first aid kit- They have confidence in their own strength- In the event of a natural disaster, they know what to do and what steps to follow- They acquired new cultural skills, being empathetic towards other cultures and young people with limited opportunities- I know new methods of non-formal education- Through the non-formal education methods of non-discrimination, young people with limited opportunities are integrated, they have gained self-confidence and there will be a cultural mix from 8 EU countries- They have confidence in their own strength after the workshops held by the professionals from the Volunteer Medical Student Association2 The impact at the level of partners:The 8 partners involved in the implementation of the project have:- Acquired youth workers and young women to help them in the training of group leaders- The number of young people registered in each organization increased - approximately 30 new members in each organization- They now have youth workers who know how to do workshops for volunteers- They are more open to work with local authorities and other youth organizations- Exchange of know-how with other youth organizations, especially those involved in the Erasmus+ program- They have a concrete material of first aid kits in the current context- Increasing the visibility of the 8 organizations in the local community and in the online environmentLong-term impact: new follow-up partnerships were created between NGOs, stakeholders, local authorities - including KA2 writing3 The impact on the target group. According to the dissemination plan, CPDIS and the partners in the project held workshops to exploit the results.

    A bottom-up peace-building approach, also known as “indigenous empowerment”, is a comprehensive tool that aims to empower local populations (in the frame of this project, more specifically the YOUTH) at the bottom and mid-levels of society by allowing them to consolidate and develop necessary resources for the implementation of a peace process. Accordingly the issues and needs identified by this partnership are: • Decrease the level of aggression and intolerance through the civil society organizations/youth workers. • Perception of conflict and peace and its influence on young people's lives. • Subjective opinion, memory and bias. • The challenges faced by young people in social, cultural, ethnic, religious minority groups. The project “Another Peace” promotes and supports the role of young people in peace-building activities that contribute to living together in dignity and dialogue through a network of specifically trained young people from Armenia, Georgia, Russia, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal, Ukraine and Poland who strengthen the presence and promote the values of the European citizenship in conflict and post conflict affected areas and communities. The project is Erasmus + Programme KA1 and consists of 2 activities, namely: A study visit to be held in Yerevan, Armenia, from 20-28 July, 2018 and it will gather 24 youth workers and youth leaders. The study visit has the intention to offer a view of youth work/youth policy in several regions in Armenia by visiting and meeting different projects and organizations. The main aim of this visit is to know better the region and to gain basic information about project’s content by using different non-formal education types and use that achievements of participants into skills, which can ensure sustainability and make them able to use outcomes during and after the project. The training course will take place in Luxembourg, Luxembourg, 13 – 20 December 2018 and will gather 24 youth workers and youth leaders. This activity is aiming to develop the competences of youth workers in human rights promotion and protection, conflict transformation, peace-building and intercultural dialogue, as well as other specific competences according to the participants’ needs, related to their role as future policy makers. The project will see implementation of diverse non-formal education methods, like: ice-breakers and name games; energizers; teambuilding exercises; discussions and debriefing; presentations; individual, pair and group tasks; role plays; self and group reflection (steaming groups).. The most important aspect within the methodology, though, is inviting participants to engage in Peace Building in order to stimulate and bring awareness to young people about the importance of peace in a multicultural society. Furthermore, throughout the project the partners will have the opportunity to work on concrete follow up projects through Erasmus + programme ensuring the sustainability of the youth work and enhancing their European dimension. The results will be wide spread throughout a multiple set of communication channels gathered between the promoters.

    According to the Council Conclusions of 2015 the further development of youth work across Europe should be accompanied by a strengthened cooperation among the EU countries. The Expert Group on Quality of Youth work has produced a common framework for further developments in this field of action. Based on the recommendation of the Expert Group the EEOB-Project’s main objective is to contribute to the enhancement of quality of youth work in the specific field of racism and violence behaviours, antidemocratic, nationalistic and populistic tendencies among youth, in particular in the eastern European countries.This approach sees tight entanglement with a second priority of the European Strategy for Youth which promote social inclusion. This project operated therefore on the basis of the Paris Declaration of the EU Commission of the 17th March 2015. While the more intolerant and group-oriented violence behaviour in recent years has been directed toward vulnerable group such refugees and immigrants, the roots of such behaviour can be also observed to be directed to members of the same culture or society who show unconventional customs and (sexual) preferences. By all differentiations to be made, obstacles for social inclusion can be found in a particular mind-set, a traditional fear of the “others” and a perceived menace to the belonging culture. The rational of this project was therefore derived by the arisen antidemocratic, racist and nationalistic movements of the last years within Europe. Thus, by tackling intolerance and promoting European democratic values among youth, this project intended to contribute not only to enhancement of quality in youth work but also to a more cohesive and inclusive society. Main objectives were: a) Establish interdisciplinary / internationally usable qualification concepts for the pedagogical tackling of democracy-defying attitude such as racism and neo-Nazism, homosexual discrimination and violence behaviour toward minorities and subcultures. b) youth work’s European organizations are in a position to implement their own concepts and to qualify specialists (youth workers) for the thematic areas, thereby contributing to the reduction of racism, anti-Islamism, homophobia and other refusal structures.The methodology applied to reach these objectives consisted in activities and products for develop and strength a human rights-oriented, professional attitude of specialists as well as their knowledge of democracy, racist and gender related discrimination, social power relations and origin, culture and gender as structural categories of society. A further step in the methodology consisted in linking different forms of discrimination and rejection, making the interrelations between sexist and homophobic attitudes, as well as the racist images of gender and the connections between racism and sexism visible. Here the elements of awareness, interconnection, spill-over and general attitude grounded the methodological approach.The methodology applied in EEOB offers the opportunity for the creation of individual design of activities. Implementation of this methodology resulted in following outputs: 1) a qualification concept for youth workers in dealing with democratically promoting measures in the field of prevention of racism, homophobia and other refusals as well as the inclusive measures for refugees and migrants; 2) conceptual materials for actions and processes for the individual design of activities to promote democratic understanding, inclusive attitudes and dismantling of racism, violent radicalism and general discrimination. The project EEOB provided a bespoke and innovative qualification concept that addresses a wide range of skills which are both relevant to youth workers and youngsters. Dissemination activties such as three multiplier events (target groups: youth workers, students of social work, employees and stakeholder in administration of public services and schools) have being implemented during the 18 month. Tests of the material were run during projekt's activties of the partners. EEOB directly addressed at least 1000 people (YW and marginalized youngsters in seven EU countries). Its long term general impact is intended to go far beyond this number in the coming years through the use of IO1 and IO2 by other associations and trainers. Most relevant impact was directed toward organisations of Youth work, quality of their work, implementation of innovative methods and design for training course and activties. A long term impact on youngster’s attitude toward different culture and subcultures is targeted. In this regard the biggest impact has being intended to be on local and regional level. The english version and the translations of the two IOs in seven languages will ensure their usage on european scale. EEOB wants to contribute to a positive general dynamics in the european society and among stakeholders toward political awareness, social inclusion and tolerance.
