The IDEA

About the Project

MAIN PURPOSE of the project

GE4YOUTH – EU Programme: Erasmus+ KA2: Cooperation partnerships in YOUTH

The GE4YOUTH project therefore aims at creating individual and group-work training tools based on Global Education approaches, for a more efficient engagement between youth workers and marginalised youth (especially those at risks of socio-economic exclusion and/or disabilities).

Objectives

Learn about the project main objectives:

  • To prevent the marginalisation of youngsters at risk of exclusion (especially the disabled, youth of immigrant background, Roma)
  • To reconnect disadvantaged young people into social networks facilitated by youth workers.
  • To improve social cohesion through Global Education’s digital tools
  • To support youth workers and institutions in the design and realization of programs on Global Education

“Education and training policy should enable all citizens to benefit from quality education and to acquire and update over a lifetime the knowledge, skills, and competences needed for employment, inclusion, active citizenship and personal fulfilment. Young people from immigrant backgrounds, the disabled, and Roma children are among the most vulnerable groups affected”.
