EMPOWERING YOUTH FOR EXCELLENCE IN SOCIAL ACTION (EYESA)

Project partner’s meeting
Our 3rd EYESA transnational meeting hold in Weimar, Germany, end of January 2019, hosted by our partner LEB (Ländliche Erwachsenenbildung Thüringen e.V.). The purpose of the meeting was to review and update the work plan, monitor intellectual outputs progress and plan upcoming activities - the workshops and the multiplier events. Following an extended discussion on how to complete the curriculum, partners agreed on the structure and the contents for a common course although users can adapt it to their target groups, ways of teaching etc. The curriculum will be translated in all partners’ languages and will be an output open to public access via our project web site.

Curriculum
The Curriculum we designed under the guidance of our partner FBI is a handbook dedicated to teachers and trainers and all persons engaged in youth projects to use the theoretical inputs and suggestions in their work with youngsters. It is addressing the target group of young people interested in enhancement of various skills to act in groups, in projects, found enterprises, find their place in the business field and create a meaningful, sustainable and inclusive future. The Curriculum provides a broad range of useful skills to improve the performance in social action and employability and to support empowerment into active membership of the European society.

Skills-based workshops agenda
The agenda for the Workshops on skills and competences developed by LEB is a methodology which implements the Curriculum. The skills-based workshops are foreseen to train these skills. The agenda gives approaches and methods and is a guidance for practical work which consists of 40 hours face-to-face and additional e-learning contents. This tool gives young volunteers the possibility of systematising in a common, personal, chronological and flexible way the qualifications and competences and aims of solving participant skills gap, as well as promoting social entrepreneurship and a European common approach to volunteering.
