The total duration of the project was 18 months as it was implemented in partnership between „Together For A Safer Future“ Foundation (Lead partner, Bulgaria); Mayo County Council (Ireland); „VSI Socialiniai paramos projektai” (Lithuania) and AHEAD (Romania).The main objective of the project was successfully achieved, namely through sharing, upgrading, analyzing ideas and good practices in working with young people and vulnerable groups, cooperation between a wide range of partners active in the field of youth activities. A new integrated approach and model for work with youth has been developed jointly by applying a new set of methods in relation to the use of the principles of emotional intelligence and the „win-lose” approach to creating practical and interactive sports animation activities as an instrument to prevent and control aggression, tolerance and non-discrimination. This approach allows better reach and work with young disadvantaged people or such with fewer opportunities (especially those with cultural differences belonging to a national / ethnic minority) in order to promote their inclusion and equal opportunities.Through the involvement of partners with different profile and experience in various sectors, the project not only internationalized youth work but also allowed greater flexibility of work in variety of action fields related to young people by expanding opportunities for wider access to target groups and stakeholders.With the implementation of the project, quality and accessibility in non-formal learning and youth work was achieved by supporting the development and dissemination of a new integrated model for communicating with marginalized young people and preventing youth racism and intolerance, by enhanced cooperation between organizations with different profile and role in the area of youth work.Partner organizations were given the opportunity to exchange experience and innovative solutions in youth work related to increasing knowledge and acceptance of diversity in society, combating racism, discrimination and segregation of young people with fewer opportunities. Through the implemented project activities, the capacity of the youth workers in the field of providing attractive forms of sports activities and engaging the leisure time of disadvantaged young people, fostering their development, emotional intelligence and the promotion of social inclusion and equal opportunities was enhanced.Two Intellectual products have been developed within the range of the project: - Common Analysis with guidelines for further joint actions - Developed in the first stage of project implementation. Research activities have been carried out by each partner in the region where he works.The issues that have been studied and analyzed are: the degree of engagement and activity (participation in extra-curricular activities) of pupils and young people, their attitudes towards peers of divergence origins and cultures (for example those coming from minorities, refugees, etc.), the main factors that influence their view of cultural distinctions and how they shape their behavior in terms of „the different ones”, the main challenges that disadvantaged young people face in their daily lives in reference to the socialization, the real needs and expectations of young people with fewer opportunities, as well as the assessment of the attitudes and behavior of their peers. The wider application and promotion of non-formal education was achieved by the guidelines for joint actions included in the analysis as per the specific characteristics of the covered regions, whereby the recommendations developed could be used by other organizations working with disadvantaged young people.- Manual for using emotional intelligence training in entertainment & sport animation as a new tool in youth work for conflict resolution and prevention of aggressive behaviors towards those with disadvantaged backgrounds - The Manual is based on the results of the research activities and the joint work of experts and youth workers. It would contribute to future initiatives and actions giving an overall vision of what and how these could be used to achieve strategic goals and long-term effects.Other tangible results: - Plan for promotion and communication - Its main objective is to ensure proper planning and organization of effective communication with selected audiences in order to attract attention and interest to participate and actively involve further implementing initiatives based on the project outcomes, in particular with regard to the Manual

"<< Background >>The results of the 2011 survey in 11 EU Member States and the EU MIDIS 2016 FRA Survey covering 9 EU Member States confirm that largely Roma children are behind in educational achievement and show a considerable gap between Roma and non-Roma children attending schooling. Despite the efforts to expand and improve education for Roma children over the years, as many as 50% of Roma children in Europe fail to complete primary education and only a quarter complete secondary education. Participation in education drops considerably after compulsory education where only 15% of young Roma adults have completed upper-secondary general or vocational education. The levels of illiteracy amongst young Roma remain comparably high for Europe where almost 50% of Roma are illiterate or moderately literate. Without compulsory education completion, many young Roma are unable to meet the basic requirements for vocational education programmes. These low participation rates in education for Roma and Traveller children and youth are particularly alarming since educational factors have a direct and an acute impact on life chances. What emerges from the data is that Roma youth are by far the most disadvantaged youth within the EU.In several countries, Roma children attend the poorest schools or face discrimination in schools, where they are the minority. Some children are unfairly sent to ""special education"" centres for students with learning difficulties. In other cases, the children may be denied access to education because they lack documentation. Besides that, the education is the main area in which the situation of Roma improved. More Roma children participate in early childhood education and care (53% in 2016, up from 47% in 2011) – with most significant improvements in Spain, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania – and fewer leave school early (68% in 2016, declining from 87% in 2011). These figures are still too high and segregation in education remains an issue in some countries, with more than 60% of Roma children separated from other children in Slovakia, Hungary, and Bulgaria. The importance of the Romani mentors, so called “ambassadors” in terms of role models is assessed as possible tool for effective implementation of the integration process of Roma people. Presenting the success and the good results of the education in the personal development is essential. Regarding the mentoring programmes, we know that their scientific monitoring and systematic evaluation plays a very important role in quality assurance. Based on past European and international experience, the establishment of mentoring programmes seems to be a viable way of integrating Sinti and Roma into schools. In order to pass on the experience and to be able to further develop and evaluate the programmes, networking is of great importance. Furthermore, it is essential that Roma mediators acquire a professional attitude that can help them deal with conflict situations. To this end, systematic supervision and collegial advice seems indispensable. Another important prerequisite is that the schools and educational authorities concerned recognise and support the work of the mediators.<< Objectives >>The project Romani Ambassadors 2.0 aims to provide skills and competences to adult trainers, teachers and Roma workers in education process and in order to tackle early school leaving and low educational capacity in children of minorities. Mentoring is an essential approach to provide students, Romani youth and other minorities an inclusive environment to orient them towards learning positive habits in the long-term educational process, based on the principle that quality education should fit the learner rather than requiring them to fit into an existing system.The main objectives of the project are to improve the competences and engage social workers, counsellors and mediators in the engagement mentoring process with Roma people, youngsters and students with main objective to reduce the educational drop-out. The project aims also to increase the representation of Roma youngsters from minority groups -such as Roma children- in the long-term educational process, based on the principle that quality education should fit the learner rather than requiring them to fit into an existing system. Our project is a follow up of previously implemented initiatives under Erasmus+ and other European funding initiatives, intends to continue the successful implementation of training opportunities that foster Roma inclusion and integration both in education and employment market. In this line, mentoring represents a comprehensive support package for youngsters since it can provide them with a positive role model, support them with their learning, offer opportunities to discuss and find solutions to challenges they may be facing. This project will address its objective by organizing a transnational partnership between 6 organizations from 6 different countries. This is the only way to effectively address the issues of minorities with presence across Europe such as Roma community which is the Europe's largest ethnic minority with a considerable population of 12 million members in Europe. It is necessary to create synergies that encompass not only the local area but also the national and EU ones due to Roma mobility. Roma is not alike; neither are their social conditions. Indeed, the ethnic, occupational, religious, and economic diversity among Roma populations is tremendous. The proportion of Roma-language speakers differs greatly from country to country, as does the proportion living in cities, integrated neighborhoods, or segregated rural settlements. Having the collaboration of 6 organizations –NGOs, public & private entities, training centers and educational institutions from different EU countries will provide a strong background for the development of Mentoring curricula for disadvantage minorities who have diversity among them and require individualize attention.Romani Ambassadors 2.0 goal is to tackle skill gaps and mismatches in social workers that support Roma youngsters in education by providing them with a mentor approach tailor to support them to effectively guide disadvantage youngsters in their path to inclusive education. Specifically, it aims: •To capitalize the existing European experience in the process of providing of counseling services to marginalized people.•To adapt the existing knowledge into an innovative training curriculum •To introduce reliable and effective mentoring methodology aiming at supporting Romani youth and children in the educational process and career guidance•To upgrade the existing skills of social workers, counselors and trainers in the filed of Romani support services.<< Implementation >>The project entitled “Mentoring program for Roma youngsters support and tackling of early school leaving”- Romani Ambassadors 2.0 was planned and created as an answer to increasing rate of early school drop out of Roma students/youngsters and aims at creating a mentoring plan for trainers, that will provide them a mentor approach tailor to support them to efficiently guide disadvantaged youngsters in their path to inclusive education.

<< Background >>Unemployment and social exclusion are affecting disadvantaged, vulnerable groups deeply as families with children and a low-income struggle with a lack of affordable childcare and migrants experience unprecedented exclusion from the job market. Moreover, the youth employment rate in the EU was at 22.5% in July, while the long-term unemployment rate has reached a historically high level in most EU countries; 10.7 million in the first quarter of 2012. The collapse of opportunities for labour market integration with the breaking of the crisis in 2008 but also in 2020 are perhaps the most common problem on the road to independence as the unemployment rate in the union affects almost a quarter of all adults aged 18-35 in 2020. Long-term unemployment is one of the main concerns of policy makers. Apart from its financial and social effects on personal life, long-term unemployment negatively affects social cohesion and, ultimately, will stifle economic growth.The Europe 2020 Strategy launched by the European Commission in 2010 aims to target employment, poverty and social exclusion, among other issues, by coordinating national and European policy efforts. In line with the Europe 2020 Strategy, the European Employment Strategy seeks to implement measures designed to encourage people to remain in work or find a new job. The strategy seeks to create more and better jobs throughout the EU by promoting a life cycle to work, lifelong learning, improving support for those seeking a job, as well as ensuring equal opportunities. Inclusive entrepreneurship is an important vehicle for achieving inclusive growth. Business creation by under-represented and disadvantaged groups helps create jobs and fight social and financial exclusion, while stimulating economic growth across the economy. However, while entrepreneurship plays an important role in stimulating innovation and driving job creation, only a relatively small part of the population is involved in starting a business, and not all people have the same opportunities to create and run a business. The objective of inclusive entrepreneurship policies is to ensure that all people have an opportunity to start up and operate in business or self-employment, regardless of their personal characteristics and background.The project PAL Push II is aiming to develop a comprehensive approach and endorse a number of goals in entrepreneurial training and employment in order to speed up inclusion groups Integration and support the implementation of national inclusion strategies and the Council Recommendation of their Integration. The project aims to support social inclusion groups participation in different levels, by gathering qualitative data about approaches and practices and supporting initiatives where their participation is a key to long-term change.It provides a timely opportunity to work on the root challenges behind current unemployment trends and cooperate with some of the projects and initiatives which have been implemented to tackle such issues in an innovative and experimental manner. It also recognizes entrepreneurship and self-employment as a key for achieving smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. In its support to entrepreneurship and self-employment, the EC focuses its efforts on businesses and start-ups by unemployed and people from vulnerable groups support for inclusive entrepreneurship and microfinance.The aim of the project is to create inclusive methodology and training materials helping the target groups to identify their skills gaps and to receive an appropriate training, connected with already developed training materials as part of the project PAL PUSH Entrepreneurship &PAL Women (for entrepreneurial support and trainings) and PAL project (for employment opportunities and methodologies). It will work actively on two main pillars: inclusive entrepreneurship (part of PR 2) and inclusive employment (PR 3 and 4).<< Objectives >>The aim of the project PAL PUSH II is to create innovative learning opportunities for social inclusion groups (women, seniors, unemployed, migrants and Romani) using interactive techniques, topics and digital tools with main objective to boost the social integration though employment or entrepreneurship. The priorities which this project covers, aim to pilot education and training systems that promote employability, upskilling and innovation as well as increase social mobility and equality towards would be and newly established entrepreneurs and employees from special groups. In particular through advanced integrated approaches, which will be characterized by a user-friendly approach and utilization as well as of significant features such as learning outcomes of formal and non-formal learning activities, which will be delivered through blended environments (classroom and e-learning), surrounded by supportive methods (coaching and apprenticeships) & embedded in the digital era (digital literacy supported). The specific objectives of the project, in line with the selected priorities, are: •Improving the entrepreneurial and employability competences of people planning to run business and to start working. •Increasing knowledge and skills necessary to establish and manage the entrepreneurship or start a job and building both digital and entrepreneurial skills.•Delivery of tools to develop the digital competence. •Favouring the start-up of new enterprises by providing the project results and tools to local training organizations and actor's orientation/training/assistance and counselling services to the would-be social inclusion entrepreneurs, presenting an entrepreneurial idea to be developed and a specific training path for start-up new entrepreneurs.•Favouring the decreasing of unemployment in post-COVID era•Fostering the development of stronger cooperation and networking so the entrepreneurs can improve their access to funds, opportunities, clients, partners and suppliers.•Improving digital connectivity, stimulating digital innovation and strengthening the environment and digital businesses•Improving the growth potential of entrepreneurs from underrepresented groups<< Implementation >>The proposed Project activities will include activities supporting two groups of people: those that are willing to start their own businesses and those that want to find appropriate job. For each one of those groups are planned and will be implemented numerous of actions in order to involve about 525 learners at local level and about 245 at international level. Specifically, the following project results are planned:1)PR 1 Mapping the target groups needs in post-COVID era and adapting existing training materials: The aim of this PR is to draw the current situation of the assigned target groups in each country in terms of their employment opportunities and existing business ecosystem.

The Roma is Europe’s largest minority, with an estimated population of 10 -12 million. Socially and economically, the Roma are also one of the Europe’s most vulnerable and disadvantaged groups and frequently face intolerance, discrimination and exclusion. Many lack access to housing, healthcare, social services employment and education. European countries have both a national and a joint responsibility to address the discrimination and exclusion of the Roma; significant funding has been devoted towards improving the situation of the Roma.The aim of the project “Integration through exchange of experience in training of Youth Romani” (Romani Ambassadors) was to exchange good practices in the field of Roma education and employment and as a follow-up of previously implemented initiatives under Erasmus+ and other European funding programmes, intends to continue the successful implementation of training opportunities that foster Roma inclusion and integration both in education and employment market. The project develop a comprehensive approach and endorsed a number of goals in training and employment in order to speed up Roma Integration and support the implementation of the national Roma inclusion strategies and the Council Recommendations of Roma Integration. It supported Roma youth participation at different levels by supporting initiatives where Roma participation is key to long-term change. It was created as a synergy among 10 project partners bringing together experiences and target groups from 8 different EU countries (Bulgaria, Greece, Czech Republic, Albania, Belgium, Italy, Spain and Romania).The project prepared a Training Programme on Training of Romani Trainers with duration of 12 months and to transfer and continue the good practices gained during the PAL Push Entrepreneurship and PAL project. Based on these preparation materials, it were organized both training of ROMANI TRAINERS AND MEDIATORS EXPRESSING THE EU AMBITION: EMPLOYMENT OF ROMA 2018-2028 (organized at 12/11-16/11/2018 in Prague, Czech Republic) and ROMANI TRAINERS AND MEDIATORS EXPRESSING THE EU AMBITION: EDUCATION OF ROMA 2018-2028 (organized at 09.07-13.07.2018 in Brasov, Romania).
