Volunteer: Step Forward

‘Volunteer: Step forward' was a seminar on the improvement of mobility projects, EVS-projects and international (summer) exchanges accessible for young NEETs within the framework of Erasmus +.

The seminar brought together 26 youth workers from 12 EU member states, which are responsible for European project development in the partner organisations. The seminar took place in Dilbeek (Brussels), from the 12th till the 15th of March. It was organised by Jeugddienst Don Bosco in cooperation with DBYN’s international secretariat and Pool of trainers, and co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme.
 
'Volunteer: Step Forward' aimed to improve the working strategy of the participating organizations on international project management. At the same time we wanted to promote the opportunities of EVS between the participating organizations. Better qualitative projects and a mainstreamed line would create more mobility possibilities for young people as well improved learning opportunities for young people and young NEETs. In this way we could create a common approach to international volunteering and which can be tailor-made to young NEETs.
 
‘Volunteer: Step forward’ aimed to train youth workers and build the capacity of youth work organisations in integrating social impact measurement in their working culture.  The seminar used a variety of workshops focussed on different aspects of social impact: the overall framework of European youth policy, the Erasmus+ programme, a diversity of instruments to measure educational and social impact and an exchange market to start-up future E+ projects.
 
The direct impact of the seminar will be the increase capacity of the youth workers and project partners to develop qualitative educational projects for youth, which better meet the needs of their target groups.  The long-term impact for the partnership will be an increased number of project applications under Erasmus+.
