"<< 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.

We informed young people about the results of our project through promotional materials. They realized the need to know what are the first aid measures and what to do in case of a natural disaster.At this moment, the 8 partners are working on a KA220 project to support young people from local communities as well as youth organizations that urgently need to know how to give first aid measures. Another aspect is the COVID pandemic and the war in Ukraine, which may expand. In this sense, the activities of the Stay alive+ project came to support young people and youth workers."
