The project seeks to empower youth workers from Greece, Italy and Spain on Mass Media competences and provide them open spaces to develop new strategies to tackle negative issues faced by new generations of Europeans (unemployment, anti-Europeanism, xenophobia).
"Rebuilding trust in the European Union through the use of Mass Media” will develop a training course. This training will bring together 12 youth workers from Spain, Greece and Italy, specially those working with (1) young people who are unemployed or (2) young people with a migrant background (first or second generation migrants).
1. Operational definition (empirical) of Mass Media as a tool in the field of youth (especially those unemployed or with migrant background).
2. How to increase, from the Mass Media approach, the sense of belonging to the EU (European citizenship and intercultural) in the field of youth (especially those unemployed or with migrant background).
3. Empower civic and politically, from the Mass Media approach, in the field of youth (especially those unemployed or with migrant background).
4. How to develop, from a Mass Media approach, soft skills (teamwork, public speaking, conflict resolution, decision making) for labor inclusion in the field of youth (especially those unemployed or background migratory).
"Rebuilding trust in the European Union through the use of Mass Media" (2016-3-ES02-KA105-008890) is a project organised by Biderbost, Boscan & Rochin (BB&R), in collaboration with HRYO and Academy of Entrepreneurship, and funded with support from the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Commission.
The Youthpass Certificate is an European recognition tool for non-formal and informal learning in youth work. For this youth exchange the focus was on one of the YouthPass methodologies: 'Learning to Learn'. This means that the youngsters were able to organise and manage their own learnings. In order to be able to apply achieved competences and experiences in ones personal, professional and social life. With Youthpass the participants of these projects can describe what they have done and show what they have learnt. The Youthpass is for projects funded by Erasmus+ Programme.
This project was develop with a focus on non-formal learning. The non-formal education is the learning which takes place through planned activities, in terms of learning objectives and learning time. Where some form of learning support is present, but which is not part of the formal education and training system. The activities and courses are planned, but are seldomly structured by conventional rhythms or curriculum subjects. They usually address specific target groups, but rarely document or assess learning outcomes or achievements in conventionally visible ways.
This youth exchange was implemented to strengthen the development of a critical, democratic and creative European Citizenship. In order to encourage an active social, political and cultural role to build a shared Europe. The youngsters can be regarded as Ambassadors of Europe. And in doing so, to support the implementation and quality of the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Commission.
The experience-based learning is the the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experiences. In this regard, the youngsters had the opportunity to be the protagonists of the youth exchange, having been involved with their intellect, senses, feelings and personalities.
