The idea behind the Youth Empowerment program was born in the exchange/sharing of information and needs identified by our network of partners. This network believes that young people are an important and fundamental group that constitutes our society, capable of changing and influencing the attitudes and behaviors of their peers, but also, in children and adults. Aware of the importance of young people in our society, it is clear that there must be a stake in this group, enabling them to make better decisions that bring about sustainable and positive changes in their lives, but also for the people from their communities. This type of training becomes even more important in young people with fewer opportunities and young NEETs (they are not studying, working or attending any type of training). Another need identified by our partners' network is the training of youth workers, workers with tools and methodologies that are effective in encouraging young people to participate in civic engagement and prepare them for the increasingly competitive labor market.The Youth Empowerment program aimed to address the shortcomings listed above and, for this to happen, 4 activities were carried out, 1 KM (Kickoff Meeting), 1 TC (Training Course), 1 YE (Youth Exchange) for participants from 18 to 25 years old and 1 EM (Evaluation meeting). During these 4 activities, it was possible to allow mobility for around 79 people, from young people, youth workers, volunteers and coordinators of partner organizations and policy makers from Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and Romania.Youth Empowerment’s general objectives were: - Strengthen the network of partners who work with young people daily and use methodologies to empower them to participate actively in their organizations and community; - Promote the Erasmus + Program and show is capital value as an important tool of inclusion for young NEETs and with fewer opportunities; - Discuss the role of youth organizations in the social, personal and professional development of young people; - Encourage intercultural learning through non-formal education.Through KM, TC, YE and EM we had as main objectives: - Compare the different methodologies that partner organizations use to empower their young people, especially those with fewer opportunities and NEET; - Introduce non-formal education as an effective tool to empower young people; - Inspire partner organizations to establish partnerships under Erasmus + in order to work towards social inclusion and youth empowerment. - Train partner organizations, youth workers and volunteers with methodologies that allow the inclusion and empowerment of young people with fewer opportunities and NEET; - Sharing and learning activities that bring partner associations closer to their communities and, at the same time, realize the possibilities of local involvement in activities under the Erasmus + Program; - Understand the impact and social transformations that Erasmus + activities can bring to local communities. - Empowering young people in the field of Human Rights and to have active participation in their local organizations and communities; - Promote self-knowledge, self-confidence, communication and critical thinking skills, self-reflection, creativity, flexibility, language skills, etc. - Provide the local community with the opportunity to participate in activities of social and community interest; - Realize the impact the project has brought to young people, youth workers, organizations and the community; - Sharing and analyzing less positive aspects of the project and proposing solutions to work in future activities.All the activities planned were based on ENF methods and techniques (icebreakers, energizers, team buildings, role plays, plenary debates, moments of sharing of good practices, moments of personal and group reflection, etc.) and participants were guided by a team of technicians, who were responsible for coordinating and facilitating the activities, with the support of the group leaders.In the end, all youth organizations and workers acquired new tools to awaken young people to greater participation in their organizations and community, and that the skills acquired by all turn into important tools of social inclusion. These objectives are in line with the Europe 2020 Strategy, which has one of the main pillars, aimed at young people, the promotion of social inclusion, especially those from the most problematic social and cultural context. We will create with this project a Manual about the project itself and all the methodologies that will be used. This document will be shared in Salto and that way will be available for other organizations to use it.
