The project:
Solve It! is a one-stage Erasmus+ project that aims at project and crisis management skills that will help youth workers and educators to be more active and confident in the field of youth work. The project is based on non-formal education, sharing of good practices, and peer-to-peer learning. The idea of this project was inspired by our past projects. And through this training course, we want to offer participants a space for learning and sharing their experiences. In Solve It! we aim to bring knowledge and skills to youth workers and young people who would like to or are actively working in the field of youth.
So let’s work together to help them achieve their full potential!
Specific Objectives:
1) Informing and training participants about problem-solving and crisis management, with the aim of raising the quality of their work with youth and building a safer environment in Erasmus+ projects for youth.
2) To develop problem-solving skills among trainers and workers with youth participating in the training course in order to build resilience in case of a crisis situation, and therefore better their satisfaction in their job and prevent professional burnout.
3) To identify and address the challenges that our participants might face in their work with youth – including (cyber)bullying, sexual harassment, and cultural misunderstandings and arguments.
4) To create space for sharing knowledge and exchanging experiences and good practices in order to develop a communication plan to resolve different potential situations.
5) To connect a group of workers with youth and build an international community specialized in resolving problems occurring during work with youth.
