European Commission - Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency - Support to Youth Workers' Mobility

DESCRIPTION:

The project "Change and growth with young offenders" is developed by a partnership formed by Asociacion Euroaccion and the A.R.T. Fusion Romania, and involves the mobility of one youth worker (Ina Lolescu) for 6 months in Murcia, Spain. In terms of indirect beneficiaries, it comes to answer the need of developing an innovative approach of non-formal education for young offenders in order to facilitate their inclusion through the development of their self-helping capacity, the improvement of their self-esteem and the development of their learning to learn competence while empowering their creativity and spirit of entrepreneurship. In this sense, by the end of the project it is expected this exchange will produce positive effects and concrete results such as that the young offenders will have increased skills, knowledge and attitudes for job searching; personal development plans; increased self-esteem and a self-perception that goes further that the "offender" identity and finally, a more developed learning to learn competence.

The project will develop a programme of personal development of young offenders; a blog with the experience of the team of youth workers which will be made available for other organisations and youth workers; a knowledge and competence transfer between the two partners organisations involved in the project. 

It will also strengthen the cooperation between A.R.T. Fusion and Euroaccion as new joint working directions of action will be developed. Last but not least, the project aims at the personal and professional development of the youth worker involved by developing his competence of working with young offenders, increasing his capacity of designing and facilitating high quality self-development programmes adapted to the needs and profile of the young offenders involved in the project. 

The project will also allow the youth worker to have a more open and tolerant attitude towards young offenders and to develop his ability to transfer the competences acquired in her own community.

Contractor: Asociacion Cultural Euroaccion Murcia, Spain

Partner: A.R.T. Fusion Romania
