Entrepreneurship - Analytical thinking - Leadership and Social Influence are predicted by World Economic Forum (2018) to continue to be most essential skills for future jobs. In the face of those challenges, youth work shall need to anticipate trends and adapt to new technological changes in order to confirm its indispensable role in the new digital age.OBJECTIVEThe project aims to consolidate the role of youth workers in promoting youth social entrepreneurship by enriching them with the core knowledge of social entrepreneurship, youth work skills, and particularly the technical know-how to open their relevant courses on MOODLE as a new, innovative, far-reaching way of doing youth work. Simultaneously, YSEEAM aspires to develop a new form of youth work methods in the efforts to make its digital shift. MAIN ACTIVITIESTowards the above goal, YSEEAM plans a series of interlinking CB and Mobilities activities within 24 months that shall result in the production of 07 Mini-Moodle Courses in all project countries, a final Full Moodle Course of the project, and the project Handbook ""Moodling Youth Work"" detailing how to use Moodle to do Youth Work.Fundamental activities include:- Kick-off meeting - Training Course- Youth Consultation Workshops- Implementation of Pilot Moodle Course- Job Shadowing- Local Multiplier Seminars- Final ConferencePARTNERSHIPTaking into account the inherent global factor of entrepreneurship and digital learning, YSEEAM consortium brings together 7 partners from three continents for wider and enriching realities and viewpoints.

They need to build their capacity to increase the level of tolerance in their society in order to create a more open environment for vulnerable people to be visible and to take their place in the society.The partners involved in the project are genuinely concerned about the Human Rights abuses in the world today, especially regarding LGBTQ+ communities, by the lack of awareness and knowledge among young people and also by the lack of sufficient support from the public authorities and discriminatory legislations. Main aims of this project is to build the capacity of the consortium members to bring about awareness to general public about LGBTQ+ rights and to advocate for policy changes in these matters. For more specific objectives we envision: • To provide a space for sharing best practices among youth organization from 2 continents, specifically on the topic of activism on LGBTQ+ Rights • To increase the level of innovation and creativity in youth work field dealing with LGBTQ+ rights;• To increase the knowledge level of young people and youth workers in topics like: Human Rights (values, principles, study cases), LGBTQ+ Rights history and movement, social exclusion, intercultural dialogue, tolerance;• To develop youth workers’ sense of initiative;• To empower LGBTQ+ activist to continue their work in a more impactful way;• To develop youth workers’ competencies in various human rights education methods: living library, legislative theatre, street campaigning, etc.• To stimulate youth organization to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and influence policies in their communities and at global level.Through its structure and planned activities (see next sections) the project is clearly fostering the assessment of transversal skills, stimulating active participation of young people in democratic life and promoting young people's social inclusion and well-being – as main priorities of the program.The project will last for 24 months and is envisioned to have the following concrete results:- A team of 30 LGBTQ+ rights educators and advocators (from Serbia, Macedonia, Romania, South Africa, Nigeria, Uganda and Botswana);- At least 2940 direct beneficiaries of the local practice phase (living library and other campaigning events) by the multipliers ;- 7 advocacy campaigns for changing LGBTQ+ rights related policies in 7 countries.- Written and video collection of Human Books from the project- Movie about the project experience translated in all languages from the consortium.

Following the 2017-2018 project STEPS to Change (www.ccivs.org/steps), the present project STEPS to the Future brought Organisational Development (OD) training and impact measurement to 20 organisations in 4 regions, allowing the building of a global and regional diagnosis on the State of the Art of the International Voluntary Service movement. Through STEPS, CCIVS aimed at expanding and consolidating the empowerment process in four regions. With the support of Erasmus+, 22 partners (including 3 international and regional networks Service Civil International, Alliance of European Voluntary Service Organisation and Network for Voluntary Development in Asia) from Asia, Africa, Europe and America came together to cooperate in this project, which not only strengthened their own capacity through a series of offline and online trainings and job-shadowing in peer organisation but also benefited from their experience and contribution to the refinement of tools on Organisational Development for IVS organisations. The main objectives were to:-increase the competencies of youth professionals / youth organisations;-improve the cooperation for strategic objectives among the IVS networks;-generate high-quality tools, methods and mechanisms that support such empowerment and monitoring within the network/movement.In order to reach the objectives, the project incorporated the following four phases:1.Launching the Process:-Steering Team Meeting & Experts Seminar in Estonia hosted by EstYes, January 2019.2.Setting the Capacities:-Training for Trainers on Organisational Development in Italy hosted by YAP Italy, May 2019.3.Implement Global Empowerment-On-Field Training Exchanges & Job-shadowing in Europe, May 2019;-Diagnosis & Training on Organisational Development in Africa hosted by VWAN Nigeria and in Asia hosted by VSA Thailand;-MOOC Production Laboratory in Hungary hosted by Egysek, October 2019;-Online Course on Organisational Development for IVS Organisations (STEPS MOOC) launched, January 2020;-Webinar Series, September – November 2020.4.Consolidate and Scale-Monitoring mechanism;-Support measure on organisational sustainability;-Dissemination and future strategies meetings.The project approach and methodologies are innovative and it was a significant step in terms of the evolution and sustainable development of both CCIVS and the International Voluntary Service movement. It was CCIVS’s first time to organise a Training for Trainers on Organisational Development and develop a MOOC on Organisational Development that could reach a much larger target group. The project also mainstreamed “interculturality” throughout its process and incorporated it in the organisational development and monitoring methodology. It’s important to highlight that the consortium reacted promptly and adequately to the COVID-19 pandemic which imposed travel restriction and lockdown policies and brought a great impact on the management and organisation of youth mobility and capacity building work of many organisations and networks in the International Voluntary Service. CCIVS and its partners have actively engaged themselves to make full use of the project tools and outcomes and look for means to diffuse these products that would be beneficial to more individuals and organisations who want to increase their capacities.The project chronicle magazine gives a more detailed overview and highlights of outcomes, & available on http://bit.ly/STEPS2-chronicle.
