Employability is about having the capability to gain initial employment, maintain employment and obtain new employment if required.Inspired by the “Study on the impact of Non-Formal Education in youth organizations on young people’s employability” launched by the European Youth Forum on October 2012.and bearing in mind the increase in unemployment in Europe, - according to statistics from Eurostat (September 2012) 5.520 million young people (under 25) were unemployed in the EU-27-  the proposed project offers methods, tools and practices, based on the principles of non-formal education, that people involved with the youth and their employability can use and being inspired by them. The participants will be encouraged to build on the experiences gained from the project and adapt them according to the demanded standards back in their countries. 

AIM & OBJECTIVES

  • To improve participants’ knowledge, skills and attitudes with regards to personal development of young people
  • To provide space for sharing of experiences and good practices in the given topics
  • To encourage the development of employability skills, as well as to foster the spirit of initiative, creativity and active participation of young people in society.
