Project description
Young people in Europe are still facing unprecedented difficulties in finding job. This is still the
impact of The economic crisis in the European Union that has dramatically changed the youth
labor market in almost all European countries.
It is our belief that youth workers from different EU and neighboring countries can change the
situation locally and internationally. Thanks to mobility projects, youngsters can meet, discuss
the problems of youth unemployment, share the best practices, raise the issues of
unemployment, create networks and prepare/implement projects tackling the issue in their
local communities and internationally.
“Need education to work (netWORK)” is a 7-day Partnership Building Activity(PBA) that
involves partners from EU, SEE and EECA countries aiming to empowering youth workers
overcoming youth employment issues in their own countries. During the project sharing of the
best practices of successful countries on youth employment, discovering job opportunities
accessible for all participant countries, receiving input from trainers and experts, field visits and
group discussions will lead to a creation of a contemporary method that will be used by
participants to empower young job seekers to their local communities to find jobs.
