The YOUMOVI project combined the efforts of relevant organizations from 5 European countries (BG, UK, CZ, HU and IT) to create a 24-hour accessible free on-line learning application (YOUMOVI aпp). The aim of the project is to increase the level of youth workers' digital and professional skills, related to using on-line resources to inspire young people for active citizenship and participation in the society. Short movies have a significant place in today's youth culture, as they grab the young person’s attention and are powerful means of communicating ideas in a user-friendly and comprehensive way. The YOUMOVI app equips youth workers with an innovative resource to apply in their key task - to improve the overall awareness of young people on the topic of: “Active Citizenship and Participation”. The YOUMOVI project is directly linked to one of the key youth-specific Erasmus+ priorities, i.e.: promoting quality of youth work.The project's duration is 18 months and the main activities were grouped into 6 work packages, covering all main processes such as management, preparation, development, testing and dissemination.The main project AIMS are:- to raise awareness among young people as to the active citizenship and active participation in society;- to equip youth workers with the right set of competences in order to be able to develop and sustain active citizenship mindset among young people;- to increase digital integration in youth work.The main project OBJECTIVES are: - to conduct a in-depth research on how to integrate short movies and mobile learning apps use in youth work at national level;- to develop and test a youth short movies mobile learning app;- to conduct an extensive international dissemination campaign to promote and ensure sustainability of the YOUMOVI results and impact.The main results and impact levels can be grouped as follows:* For the project target group (youth workers): raised awareness as to the benefits of audiovisual resources in handling complex challenges on personal and professional level; improved knowledge on active citizenship and participation topics; improved knowledge using mobile app technology for learning; improved skills for working with digital devices. * For the project partners: increased volume of transnational cooperation and exchange of good practices; raised awareness and improved skills in multicultural communication; improved skills in international project work; improved base of organisational know-how in the field of youth work and learning app development and application. * For other stakeholders: increased visibility of youth workers and their importance for handling complex challenges young people face; intensified dialogue on national level on pressing challenges like youth workers professional development; increased evidence base for policy making in the field of youth.
