Open call for 4 young persons to participate in a mobility in Barcelona, in the framework of Erasmus+ program.

Project’s description:
Erasmus+ project 2023-2SI02-KA220-YOU-000183451 – KVAK: Efficient, inclusive, engaging and constructive feedback in youth work is coordinated by the Slovenian Debate Association “Za in Proti”, with the participation of Società Nazionale Debate Italia APS, Nexes Interculturals (Spain) and IDEA (The Netherlands).

The general aims of the project are
a. To unify youth work standards and practices
b. To facilitate youth work education

To do this, after a need-assessment phase partner organizations are focusing on the creation of materials focusing on three areas of youth worker education considered to be critical:
i) effective and safe feedback delivery,
ii) care for vulnerable individuals and groups, and
iii) appropriate attitude towards participants.

In line with this, partner organizations aim to create a content handbook covering the various areas and providing guiding principles for youth workers to follow; a series of interactive exercises and videos, textual case examples and tests; and a web platform for users to access all materials and obtain a digital badge for their achievements.
All contents are primarily dedicated to youth workers involved in the education of vulnerable groups and minority, but more generally to all youth workers interested in how to create inclusive environments and provide affective, inclusive, engaging and constructive feedbacks for their users.



The Barcelona event

Participants in the Barcelona event will have a chance to be the first to test the handbook, as participants in youth education activities or as youth workers. Their feedbacks and the outcomes of the workshops will be fundamental in the further development of the handbook, the exercises and the web platform.

Dates: 17th -22nd November 2024 (arrival & departure days included)

Criteria to select 4 participants: the project is dedicated to youth having experience in the field of informal education / youth work (e.g. in debate clubs, sport teams, theatre clubs…).
