Work Programme Every partner organisation will appoint one national co-coordinator who will be the main contact person for the general project coordinator and who will be responsible for the successful implementation of project-related activities in his or her country or network respectively. The general project coordinator will have the lead in managing the implementation of the project as such and will be in regular contact via e-mail, skype and phone with the co-coordinators in the 11 partner countries.
The project will embrace three different phases in order to ensure a continuous involvement of different stakeholders from the three levels outlined in the call for proposals:
A. project organisers and managers
B. young people participating in youth projects
C. youth workers and youth policy makers
Phase 1 (M1-M3) will mainly involve the first group represented by the national project co-coordinators. This phase will focus on establishing the general framework for the success of the whole project:
· An
online platform will be installed in order to facilitate virtual meetings and ensure an ongoing communication and exchange of ideas, experiences, approaches, concerns etc. between the participating organisations.
· The national co-coordinators will be made familiar with the online-platform and will learn how to work with it.
· The partner organisations will create a
joint project list to facilitate reaching out to the target groups they work with and the youth workers and policy makers they collaborate with.
· A physical
kick-off meeting will be held, bringing together the 11 national co-coordinators and the general project coordinator.
· The core group of the 11 co-coordinators will be introduced to the SDDP methodology and have their
first SDDP co-laboratory.
· The same group will draft the questions for an
international youth survey that will be conducted during the following months in the context of the youth exchanges, youth initiatives, youth democracy projects and similar activities implemented by the partner organizations.
Phase 2 (M4-9) will mainly aim at young people involved in youth projects and reach out to large number of youth in the 12 partner countries and beyond.
· Two
regional meetings and SDDP co-laboraties will be held where young people will exchange their experiences from previous youth projects and enter into a structured dialogue on a specific problematique related to diversity and inclusion which is a shared challenge for the countries of the specific region.
· Eleven
local meetings of participants of previous youth projects (exchanges, initiatives and democracy projects) will be organised by the partners in order to provide for an exchange of experiences among young people and a possibility for them to propose suggestions for improvements in future youth projects.
· An
international youth survey will be conducted by all 12 partner organisations, assessing the conceptions and positions of youth regarding the empowerment and participation of less privileged youth
Phase 3 (M10-12) will target youth workers, trainers, experts and policy makers. This last phase of the project will be focussed around the
concluding conference and the general documentation, evaluation and dissemination of results.
The conference will congregate 3 participants per country (representing the 3 different stakeholder groups A, B and C) plus 3 members of the Human Rights Education Youth Network and another 5 youth experts, representatives and policy makers from the EU region in order to
· present the
outputs of the regional SDDP co-laboratories and good practice examples from all 12 countries
· present the
results of the international youth survey· allow for
discussions and debate among stakeholders, experts, and policy makers· draft a
joint declaration on citizenship and participation which will be disseminated to regional, national and European youth policy stakeholders
· discuss possible
follow-up activities. During the last two months of the project, a CD-ROM and a booklet will be compiled and disseminated throughout the 12 countries involved and beyond.
