Call for proposals for enhancing youth worker learning mobility and youth work support for unemployed young people
The European Commission has published a call for proposals for enhancing youth worker learning mobility and youth work support for unemployed young people. The purpose of this call for proposals is to support youth worker mobility and exchanges with a view to promoting the acquisition of new skills and competences in order to enrich their profile as professionals in the youth field. By promoting long-term transnational learning experiences for youth workers, this new action will also aim at strengthening the capacities of the structures involved in the project, which will benefit from the experience and new perspective brought by a youth worker from a different background. The call will enhance networking among youth structures in Europe and will contribute to the policy priority to support, recognise and professionalise youth work as a cross-cutting policy tool in Europe. A further objective of the call is to contribute to encouraging the development of innovative approaches or methods through which youth workers can support unemployed young people in gaining the necessary knowledge, skills and confidence to enter the labour market. Projects should be based on a solid partnership between two partners from two different programme countries of which at least one from an EU Member State, acting respectively as sending and host organisation of the youth worker(s) involved in the project. One of the two partners assumes the role of coordinating organisation and applies to the Executive Agency for the whole project on behalf of both.To see the official call announcement, please consult: OJ No C 165 of 7 June 2011(opens in new window)
