The "Career Explorers" project is a multilateral youth exchange organized under E+ framework, to be held in Horezu, Romania, between December 11 and December 21st, 2019 (including travel days).
The purpose of the project is to increase the level of knowledge, attitudes and skills (to know how to write a resume and cover letter, to know how to apply for a job or how to act at a job interview, etc.) and how to become active on the labor market for 36 young people aged 18- 30 and 6 group leaders (without age) from the 6 participating countries (Bulgaria, Italy, Poland, Spain, Romania and Turkey) for a period of 9 days.
The objectives of the project are aligned with the E+ objectives:
- Support young people to acquire skills that aim at their personal development, but also to increase employment opportunities on the labor market. Following the project, P will take concrete steps to find a job.
- Increasing employability and improving career prospects for young people. Discussions on how to choose a proper career, analysis based on personality tests and personal experiences will help young people better choose the next job, thus increasing the chances of building a long-term career.
- Through this project we try to respond to the priority: supporting the employability of young people with fewer opportunities (economic, social, but especially NEET).
Non-formal education methods suggested are designed to support the promotion of active citizenship among young people, to develop participatory attitude, to support reflection, tolerance and also the integration of intercultural differences. The non-formal methods included are various; these include verbal and non-verbal communication, visual communication, written communication.
The youngsters (no team leaders) whom participate in this exchange will also receive at the end of the mobility, the Youthpass certificate, that validates the competencies acquired through the participation in the project activities.
* The Youth Exchange is a project where young people work and live together in an international group for a specific time. It consists of preparation, implementation, and follow-up activities. For the duration of the Youth Exchange, young people undertake a joint programme of activities with specific aims and objectives.
Youth Exchanges foster the mobility of young people in Europe. They encourage initiative and creativity in young people, facilitate their active participation in the project, and thereby provide an intercultural learning experience.
