Call for participants -\u201cDigUpSkill\u201d Erasmus+ Training Course, Bucharest, Romania- 9-16 August 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n
GEYC is launching a call for participants from all over Europe and the partner regions (Western Balkans, Eastern Partnership Countries, South Mediterranean Countries) for \u201cDigUpSkill\u201d, an Erasmus+ training course (2021-1-RO01-KA151-YOU-000005219) which will take place between the 9th and the 16th of August in Bucharest, Romania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During a debate on measures to address the devastating effect of the COVID-19 crisis on young Europeans\u2019 employment, education and mental health, MEPs urged the prioritisation of the needs of young people. Likewise, the issues young people faced when it came to employment (being the most affected group during the pandemic) made them be at the center of discussions among all the big actors involved in their lives, including the UN, where, recently, young people have been seen as the \u201ckey for Covid recovery and a sustainable future\u201d, \u201cfrom remote workplaces to green energy to truly inclusive decision-making, their vision and courage being more vital than ever.\u201d(https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2022\/04\/1116482).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s why, in a post-pandemic context where young people and youth workers alike have had to forcefully and sometimes abruptly digitalize their interactions with the world, we believe it\u2019s important to offer support to both groups by equipping youth workers with the proper knowledge and skills they need to better support both their digital activity and give them an insight in the skills the communities they cater to need in order to become more employable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you a youth worker (see definition below) interested in knowing more about digital tools, employability and social responsibility? Then this Training Course is for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While recognizing that \u201ctechnological developments open great potential for empowerment of youth by providing access to information and by enriching opportunities for enhancing one\u2019s personal capabilities and competences; providing opportunities for connectivity and interaction with others but also for voicing one\u2019s opinions, for creativity, for self-realisation of one\u2019s rights and active citizenship\u201d(Official Journal of the European Union, Notices from European Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies, Council, Council conclusions on smart youth work) the main aim of the training course is to increase the quality of youth work, while stimulating active participation and social responsibility among youth workers, using non-formal education and digital tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The training course will involve approx. 40 participants from all over Europe and the partner regions (Western Balkans, Eastern Partnership Countries, South Mediterranean Countries).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
