The idea of the training course
The TC “Youth work empowers youth to work” aims at enhancing youth workers’ skills in empowering young people to overcome unemployment. The TC will equip youth workers with tools that allow young people to identify their talents, their skills, their interests and passions in order to get employed (or self-employed).
The three concrete objectives of the training course are:
• To explore current situation regarding unemployment and discuss the need for sustainable solutions to address the problem;
• To provide youth workers with tools that empowering young people to overcome unemployment;
• To create strategic plans in which youth workers will include empowerment for employability in their activities If the activity is 100% successful, 30 skillful youth workers from different countries who will be motivated and prepared to empower young people to overcome the problem of unemployment.
By the end of the training, participants are expected to have their own strategic plan on how to empower young people to overcome unemployment by finding and following their element. Going further, if the strategic plans of the youth workers are 100% successful, then hundreds of unemployed young people will be empowered to identify their interest, their skills, their dreams and overcome unemployment, gain back their autonomy and their strength.
Why in Banja Luka?
Banja Luka also has almost no international events – young people feel cut off when it comes to international cooperation, participation in European/EU programmes. As the country itself, due to quite complicated situation is struggling with EU integrations, by bringing different realities to their own, we could give them hope that many things are still possible, as we are expecting participation of local youth as well. Banja Luka is also city where our Member Organization Cerebra is situated, and it gives us additional support in getting in touch with local community and young people. The TC will equip the youth workers involved with tools that allow young people to identify their talents, their skills, their interests and passions in order to get employed (or selfemployed). In cooperation with our Member Organization, but also other youth organizations of civil society, we want to influence youth workers of Banja Luka to give additional support to young people and get back the very much
Gender perspective
There will be 30 participants directly involved in this activity. They will be coming from different countries from YEU member organizations which cover mainly the continent of Europe and the neighbouring countries. This will support the European dimension and the intercultural character of the activity. The target group will be youth workers who are motivated to empower young people to overcome unemployment. YEU believes that it is also important that youth workers have a basic experience in youth work and commitment to implement their strategic plans. YEU believes that youth workers with this profile will have the necessary motivation, skills, knowledge and commitment in empowering young people to overcome unemployment. As you have noticed, the activity involves youth workers from Morocco and Egypt. The reason to involve them is because young women in these countries usually face a lot of difficulties in following the career they want. Since gender perspective of this international activity is very important and very much taken into consideration, we believe that the proposed training course will build the capacities of the youth workers to work with young women there. In this way, the project will have an impact in empowering young women from Egypt and Morocco to identify and pursue the career they want.
