E+QUALITY WEEK: Improving Project Management Competences in Youth Work

"E+QUALITY Week: Improving Project Management Competences in Youth Work" is a 6-day mobility for youth workers which will take place in Bari, Puglia, a region currently facing challenges such as youth unemployment, economic and refugee crisis. The current Erasmus+ Period 2014-2020 holds lots of opportunities to fund innovative ideas and projects in order to address these issues, however these opportunities are not always realised. This project is the result of a common need for qualified staff and know-how on quality assessment tools for E+ projects. The project's main objectives are: O1: to improve youth workers’ project management skills, thus responding to high demand for qualified staff who can implement successful E+ projects that really make a difference in their communities. O2: to develop their competence in planning, implementing, monitoring and assessing the quality of training courses. O3: to encourage the participants to share insights and best practices regarding training courses’ quality, thus broadening understanding of practices, policies and systems in youth work across countries. O4: to foster collaboration at a European level, within Erasmus+ framework, between NGOs in order to increase the capacity to trigger changes in terms of modernisation and international opening and to find reliable partners for future collaborations. "E+QUALITY Week: Improving Project Management Competences in Youth Work" will enable the youth workers to approach all types of learning styles, including activities to stimulate working in big and small groups, pairs, as well as individually. Participants will arrive 1/12 and depart 8/12. Activities will take place 2/12-7/12.
